Could you tell me what I can do to opt out of this? Basically, what can I do to physically prevent you from tracking me?

Personally, I am much more worried about the misuse of this technology.

This storm was in the 70s though. What proof is there that the storm was caused by global warming? I thought the greater effects of climate change have only been occurring for the last 20 years or so.

Not trying to be condescending, just wanted to understand the link between the two.

Pretty sure the epidermis does too.

Oh, I see. The point of the book is to bring global warming awareness, not necessarily to link a cause and effect.

Thank you for your answer!

  1. Yes, that's true. If someone wants you dead, you're dead. That's really not the point though. You would be a scapegoat and the public at large would just believe the government. As for third party verification, how often do you hear of a cop being punished? How often does internal affairs find that a cop had done nothing wrong? Do you think giving the government more access would make them more honest?

  2. Temporarily, this means nothing of course. The difference is that precedent is established. Next time it could be a suspicion of terrorism where emergency measures are established indefinitely. Next time it may not be voluntary. The whole point is that it opens the door.

Ultimately, the goal is to stop the government from becoming an authoritarian regime disguised under the premise of safety.
