"Terrorism, in its broadest sense, describes the use of intentionally indiscriminate violence as a means to create terror, or fear, to achieve a political, religious or ideological aim. It is used in this regard primarily to refer to violence against peacetime targets or in war against non-combatants."

If he was screaming "allahu akbar" while carrying out the mass murder, it would clearly be terrorism as he would be faithfully following what his religion teaches.

If he was doing it to kill "right wingers" it would be terrorism.

If he was doing it to kill "left wingers" it would be terrorism.

If he was doing it because he was hopped up on SSRI's or just had a psychotic break, it would not be terrorism, just a mass murder.

I'm sure as heck not going to trust the trillion dollar fossil fuel industry whose entire existence is on the line.

There is no proof of any threat to the "fossil" fuel industry (that is running into oil, not out of it) seeing as how that trillion dollar "fossil" fuel industry started the central banks who control the monetary system that is "secured" by our taxes that are being spent to engineer climate change alarmism as a pretext for carbon emissions taxes that will further the banking oiligarchy's grip on the benefits of monetary manipulation. This is an insidious Hegelian dialectic problem-reaction-solution scam that will result in taxes and penalties on life itself that will dwarf the fuel industry if climate change pseudoscience is canonized in academia and blindly adopted by the [can't-be-bothered-to-validate-"expert"-research-for-themselves] laymen. NONE of the pseudoscience that would validate claims of AGW climate change is repeatable or reproducible, meaning some black box of information must exist to prove these claims but most likely does not.

I've likely returned to this too late to do much good, but some points need to be made... First, both you and David below aren't quite reading the missingkids.com quote correctly. It's not saying that 74% of kids in social service care are running away, it's saying that out of the 1 in 5 runaways who are victims of sex trafficking, 74% were in the care of social services when they went missing. That's a very troubling statistic to consider...

As to #pizzagate, consider this report... https://www.youtube.com/watch?... followed up by this... https://www.youtube.com/watch?... We have an apparent anomaly, followed by a possible explanation, mebbe... but the explanation may raise even bigger questions.
  We can be sure that there's some fishy stuff going on with the D.C. elite considering Hastert, Weiner, Clinton/Epstein, Wade Sanders, the list is extensive... Consider some of this resource... https://www.corbettreport.com/... and especially go through the exhaustive collection of links throughout the comments section there. Exploitation of the weak by the rich and powerful is a very real problem and with Mr. Alefantis is one of 'em... http://www.gq.com/gallery/50-m... By the way, the basement is under Buck's Hunting and Fishing, not Comet Ping Pong... https://www.youtube.com/result...

Facebook is now part of the government?

Now? Try always. Facebook was financed by In-Q-Tel In-Q-Tel is the CIA's venture capital arm.

So Facebook is, in fact, NOT a private company.

Longman dictionary:
someone who uses violence such as bombing, shooting etc to obtain political demands

or, by their actions: "Insurgent" Eats Heart of Syrian Soldier, or Free Syrian Army allegedly trafficking in human organs. They are just like the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) which U.S supported before.
Moreover, U.S official admitted that they has trained only 'four or five' Syrian fighters against Isis, top general testifies, and it's cost about 500 M, and the U.S funded groups frequently desert or handed armors, weapons to the Al Qaeda.

You really should have a look at this. [funny, but true]
And this too [a bit more serious]
Much more eloquently put than I am capable of - and more informative too.
As for the "well-educated, coordinated groups", I call them certain officials & corporations and unfortunately they are gaining plenty of financial and political power -- and the day the FBI, DHS, etc., point their attention upon them, my views will change along with the nation and world.
PS: The shorter term is "fascism".

Massive cash awards to US scientists. These kids choose not to go into science because it is not cool. Why is it not cool? Lots of hardwork and small incomes. If you give scientists boat loads of money, they become cool.

Instead we will waste another $huge_amount dollars on some lame education effort only to have the kids still want to be Kobe Bryant, or Dr. Dre.

You're funny. They already do this in who they funnel money to for grants. This is why you see scientists in climate research doing everything they can to squelch opposing views, block FOIA requests and most likely fudge data. If this "climate gate" shows anything is that there are way too many scientists who hold their views, reputation and grant money much higher than the scientific process. Give scientists more money and you're only going to encourage psychopaths who are in it for money.

M,

This is truly awful. GRL has gone downhill rapidly in recent years.

I think the decline began before Saiers. I have had some unhelpful dealings with him recently with regard to a paper Sarah and I have on glaciers — it was well received by the referees, and so is in the publication pipeline. However, I got the impression that Saiers was trying to keep it from being published.

Proving bad behavior here is very difficult. If you think that Saiers is in the greenhouse skeptics camp, then, if we can find documentary evidence of this, we could go through official AGU channels to get him ousted. Even this would be difficult.

How different is the GRL paper from the Nature paper? Did the authors counter any of the criticisms? My experience with Douglass is that the identical (bar format changes) paper to one previously rejected was submitted to GRL.
