The Pentagon has just released a report outlining the urgent need for military agencies to build climate change adaptation into their policies, and into their interactions with foreign governments. Global warming "poses immediate risks to US national security."

I don't know what that second one has to do with renewable energy, James Salsman.

Jason ON say you need to pay for a quick transition? Force the rich to buy victory bonds as long as everyone benefits equally on a per-capita basis. Then they get to keep control of their nominal basis, and the only thing that has to change is some paperwork in some Washington, D.C. serials.

Yeah, I have no idea what you're saying and how it relates to renewable energy.

Jason ON suppose that the transition to renewable energy was economical, and more economical the faster it occurs. How would you finance an extremely rapid transition? Mint platinum coins? Impose negative interest on excess reserves? Or pass a tax requiring the rich to buy victory-over-climate-change-and-Ebola bonds? Barack Obama, The White House, Janet Yellen, and John Boehner can all do it in different ways.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
