@emilymbender What people are really desperate for is a way to avoid climate change that does not require them to accept any level of expense, inconvenience or change to their established lifestyle. Surely the smart science people can whip up some gizmo to fix it all?

@jianmin @HeavenlyPossum We can argue about what constitutes a legal or illegal order. It doesn't matter to the person facing court-martial for disobeying, because the decision of "was this order lawful?" will be made by a military court. That means no civilian jury. Just a military judge, who was appointed to that position because of their record of conformity and respect for the chain and authority of command, and will be strongly inclined to rule that every order is lawful by definition.

@HeavenlyPossum It's not a war. Only Congress can declare war. This is just a special policing operation. With bombs. Lots of bombs.
