19. 4 characters, btw. Dozens of insults over 4 characters.
USA drops its (per capita) emissions 90% what they currently are in 10 years (ten years). Europe likewise. China must also limit its emissions to whatever 10% USAs current emissions are, by that point (2020). India and the other developing nations then can grow their emissions to 10% current USA emissions, until by 2065 there are no emissions whatsoever. What is necessary though is an immediate and dramatic drop off of emissions. In a decade. That's why I like the plan.

And an identifier that clearly states the intent (immediate and dramatic drop off). Just like with Terry in Austin you purposefully go out of your way to insult people.

As such it DOES disagree with his statement in the sense that a half truth conveys a meaning that is refuted by the whole truth.

30. It matters.

The number he gave is spacing, not actual land used. Wind is very popular precisely because it affords dual use of land that is beneficial to farmers since it augments their income handsomely with very little impact on their agricultural output. The scale of the difference is illustrated in the graphic.

34. Actually he did.

The meaning of "implication" is that it isn't expressly stated. The claim was obviously meant to convey a large penalty associated with land use.

36. I just reread the original

post by Terry.
You are right; I stand corrected.

You stand corrected.
