is "frailty" really a cause of death? is that what they term "natural causes"?

 

[Takhisis]

Weird how India's biggest geographical/demographic problem is that it wasn't large enough at independence. Partition was a b.

What?

I think the crap parts of India (the vast swathes of UP, Bihar, Maharashtra, etc) would largely be crap or worse on their own. Breaking up the country would just reinforce how much more awesome Kerala is than everywhere else

What?

It's weird though how one of the first solutions most foreigners have to other countries issues of poverty or social conflict is to just break up the country. I really never know what the next step after that is supposed to be.

Well, create a state called Jefferson. Obviously.

Also gonna throw out there that the Brits really exacerbated and pretty much created the "ancient Indian caste system from time immemorial" thing, at least according to everything I've read.

What for, anyway?

Nice set of graphs!

They do depict huge tracts of land.

 

[Azale]

I could've easily said "what" to all of your randomly uninformed statements, but I bothered to spend the time to write out actual responses instead. My mistake. I'm not going to write a book for you. Go read one.

From the Pravda

This mob must go.

 

[classical_hero]

This mob must stay. We have had the most expensive price on Carbon and it does nothing.

 

[gay_Aleks]

Why are there some conclaves in China with carbon tax?

 

[Domen]

Carbon pricing in Poland = suicide of Polish industry and tragedy of Upper Silesian economy:


Link to video.

We must become yellow like Australia, or everyone from Upper Silesia emigrates to Germany & Britain.

 

[Arwon]

Why are there some conclaves in China with carbon tax?

Trial runs of carbon pricing models in several provinces as an initial phase for their upcoming national scheme. Specifically there are programs in Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzen, Guangdong, Tianjin, Chongqing and Hubei.

China is also a de-facto Federal State, despite myths claiming the countrary.

Why would people emigrate to Germany and Britain if they're as green as Poland ?

Compared to Poland:

==================================================

For Poland coal - "black gold" - is the main source of energy, but Poland is responsible only for 1.8% of the total worldwide coal production:

So stop persecuting Polish coal industry, Euro-Greens, and take care for Chinese and U.S. coal (combined: almost 60% of global production).

 

[SS-18 ICBM]

Coaland, what the hell?

 

[Domen]

Upper Silesia is blaming Coalish politicians in Warsaw instead of those in Brussels, who are really responsible:

But it is all the fault of these Euro-Greens from Brussels and Berlin, who are bashing Coaland for coal:

Polish politicians actually try to save our coal:

Greenpeace is not an originally Coalish organization and not a name in Coalish language, but English:

Your Euro-Green policies are ruining our trade balance:

Stupid Euro Commu-Nazis.

 

[Arwon]

Nobody says a European country has to produce its electricity itself. You're part of a continental energy market. If coal can't compete while subject to pricing of environmental externalities (or for that matter can't compete in a generation market which contains renewable generation), then it deserves to lose market share. Meanwhile, Polish industry can restructure to other things.

Let's not overstate things. There are 120000 people working in Polish coal mining. That means coal mining directly employs 0.8% of Polish workers. Like elsewhere, it's not actually a particularly huge sector and nobody's claiming it would disappear overnight. Larger structural shifts happen pretty regularly in every major economy in the world (and those are less important shifts than reducing carbon emissions).

Easy to say, but much harder to implement in practice.

Currently I think it is cheaper for Poland to import coal across the globe from China than to produce it.

But what are we going to do with thousands of unemployed miners ???

Miners will go to Britain or Holland and you will complain about even more immigrants from EE.

 

[Arwon]

Wait. Are you threatening me with more migration to the UK?

 

[Tee Kay]

Only because the fossil lobby refuses to let renewables compete fairly.

Go back to history you dirty (literally) commie. Free enterprise mofo.

When you're literally erecting physical barriers to prevent the import of cheaper electricity in order to prop up your coal industry something is a little off.

Then again I wouldn't put the idea past the Victorian government...

 

[Arwon]

Actually over the last 20 years Poland has gone through structural shifts in employment several times the size of the entire coal mining sector.
