Climate change vs. God
Yesterday at work I overheard part of a consversation that hurt my brain.
Customer: It's so warm today!
Worker 1: Must be global warming.
Worker 2: Global warming isn't real.
Worker 1: Yes, it is. Go back to school.
Worker 2: Do you believe in God?
Worker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
Worker 2: [looks skeptical]
Worker 1: Yes, I do. Why would I lie about that?
To my great dismay, I missed the part where Worker 2 explains how his belief in God conteracts the Greenhouse Effect. It kind of shocked me that they would talk about something politicized, like climate change, at work. I was blown away when Worker 2 brought up God.
Has anyone else encountered this kind of God-trumps-climate-change thinking? What do you think the Climate Change Skeptic/Theist would have said next? For my edification and general amusement, please tell me, how does this work?

If I were going to pursue nuclear energy I'd go with Molten Salt Reactors, better bang for the buck, uses cheaper more abundant fuel and can use up the current nuclear waste.
That's where I'd dump my research money and efforts.

That's why the lime in the beer bottle?
The wedge of lime mitigates the dreadfully offensive taste of the Corona.

And mind you, American beer is an improvement over the Mexican variety. I don't drink, but when I did, it was Taddy Porter. Impossibly delicious stuff.

Not at all, Gallup - what you may not know, is that over the past couple of centuries, many German brewmeisters have migrated to Mexico, where they opened breweries. Very few "Mexican" beers use anything other than the German brewmeisters' formulae.
The lime is for additional flavor - even Bud has come out with it's own lime-added beer. Since spending some years in Mexico, I drink lime in all my beer, domestic or imported.
Stay thirsty, my friend --
