And there still isn't any inventory to buy.

Did you vote for a politician who promised to lower regulatory barriers to home building? I'm sure the Libertarian Party of Orange County would welcome you, because I can assure you that Democrats and Republicans there are both against any new home building.

Irvine City Council candidate Courtney Santos said:

Increase supply of housing
Dialogue with developers and UCI to better understand barriers to building housing that they have experienced
Ensure efficiency in the permitting process
Be mindful that developers will pass on fees incurred during permit process to renters or buyers
Remove legal or zoning barriers to affordable, sustainable microhousing and tiny houses
Support zoning more high-density areas to allow modern solutions for living spaces for single professionals and students, such as micro-apartments and studios
Deregulate duplexes - for example, why can't property owners determine for themselves how much floor space to devote to a second unit? "The floor area of a second unit shall not exceed 30 percent of the floor area of the existing living area" (Zoning Ch. 3-26-3).
Encourage dialogue about innovative housing practices like co-housing and cooperatives
Orange County in general has a massive housing shortage (estimates vary; 40,000 to 100,000 more units may be needed countywide). Irvine is one of the cities with highest demand.

Finder has always referred to executables as "applications". (Source: any screenshot of Finder going back to 0.97) This is true in both the user interface and the four-character file type code used in classic Mac OS to identify each file's content type. The file type code for executables is APPL, short for "application".

Do you also require a citation that the use of "app" as short for "application" predates July 2008 when iPhone OS 2 was released?

In the old days we'd have to do it manually

The baseline is indeed the average temperature for a pre-defined interval. However, it is the average for the dataset being considered. In other words, you produce the baseline average after you’ve done the adjustment. The anomalies are then relative to that baseline. Therefore, it doesn’t matter if you shift the buoys up to the ships, or the ships down to the buoys. Once you’ve done the shift, you then calculate the average for the pre-defined interval and present your data as anomalies relative to that baseline.

Also, one thing that's neat when the subglacial eruptions go off is the sigkatlar (I think the english is "ice cauldrons") that form on the top of the glacier. They can get huge - when Bárðarbunga went off, the main (shallow) section of ice that was sinking was the size of New York City (surrounded by deeper but steeper sigkatlar). The big, shallow ones are harder to see, but the smaller ones are often ringed by fissures - which may not look that impressive from far away, but they're really huge.

As a side story: while Bárðarbunga ended up with its last eruption breaking out in the most fortunate place it could have, there would have been something kind of amusing (amid the devastation) had it actually gone off straight over its magma chamber. Many decades ago a plane crashed on the glacier, right over the caldera; the survivors had to survive for days on the ice, in terrible weather, until rescuers could get to them. Because of the huge precipitation rate there, the plane is now deep inside the ice over the caldera. But had it erupted with an explosive eruption from the caldera.... the airplane would have flown again ;)

I managed to spec out a basic income that doesn't tax anyone at any higher rate. It reduces the tax burden on Americans by a combined $1 trillion, counting the tax burden as money moved downward--that means the guy paying $100 in taxes and receiving $7,000 doesn't count as "reducing the tax burden by $6,900" because he is the tax burden.

Current welfare, as a pile of expenses, is equivalent to 55% of the total income taxes taken. Out of the top tax of 39.6%, 21.78% reflects that proportion. So let's compare systems.

Our current welfare system is a public aid system. It takes the above money from everyone and hands it out to a minority of lower-income households. That means the major payers of welfare--notably the middle-class--receive nothing.

A UBI such as a Universal Social Security takes money from everyone and redistributes it to everyone. That means the major payers are also recipients, and can discount their tax burden by the payment they receive.

Because of this, it's relatively easy to use a similar (or substantially-larger) amount of money for the Universal Social Security and end up with lower taxes. It is, in fact, a necessary fact that the tax burden will be lower; the only question is to whom will we charge less?

Using a 17% model--taking the same amount of money we take now--would require us to drop the 39.6% high-bracket tax rate to 22.6%. That plus 17% gives 39.6%. The remaining tax brackets would adjust--notably, they'd adjust upwards, meaning the tax burden wouldn't decrease for middle-incomes by the full amount of the UBI/USS benefit. That is to say: if the benefit pays $7,000, you might find yourself paying a net $5,000 less in taxes because your income taxes are $2,000 higher.

There's another side to this, though: People have the delusion that we can make the lower-class the middle-class. They think we can give them a middle-class income of some sort. That's by definition impossible, and by any logical analysis won't work; but they think that. Any income is going to add to a basic income, and that means your middle-class is above your lower-class; and as the middle-class has that bottom income plus, all you get is bigger incomes. Likewise, to fund something like that, you have to take more from people, so you wind up doing unstable things to the economy.

My model only works as of 2013 because I used retail market prices to compute most things, and then did some engineering with the housing market. The housing budget I used reflects retail market prices for housing, and it incorporates risk reductions. That includes, primarily, that people with only UBI/USS have stable incomes: they won't lose their jobs/welfare/whatever because the money is money they're 100% guaranteed to receive. They face the same irresponsible spending risk as current low-income unassisted housing, which I based my cost model on; and they can pay a security deposit, in as much as anyone can, since payments start the day you're 18 and we can suppose we'll eventually end up with zero homeless children or at least that you can survive 3-4 more months on the street if you did it for years already. Even so, the average low-cost rents from California, New York, and Maryland samples is consistently around $1.00-$1.06 per square foot; and I budgeted $1.33 per square foot as a risk reserve.

Per single individual, I designed 244sqft apartment units. There are actually microunit projects like that today, experimentally, for different purposes; they're livable. That would likely only cover the 1.6 million homeless Americans. There are 5 million Americans on HUD, and only 25% of HUD-qualified Americans receive housing assistance; 75% of qualifying applicants go on a waiting list and never receive benefits. These households would almost universally receive benefits in excess of what HUD

And the SMART people in the room know that whether you are a NAZI is defined by what you say and do, not by who you are.

So what has Milo said or done that makes him a NAZI? I'll wait.

Hell, I would argue that Israel has become a NAZI state !

That's because you're ignorant and prone to hyperbole.

No other time in history has somebody like him failed to become a dictator

People were afraid that Bush would become a dictator. And then Obama. And now, of course, Trump. He'll be gone in four or eight years, just like those who came before him, even Andrew Jackson.

Per the AC post above, "the tragic part of world history" referred to the America First organization, created in the 1940s by Americans who wished to appease Hitler.

I am a big fan of audio drama, which means that the podcasting format is great for my kind of entertainment.

Here are my audio drama podcasts:

• Ars Paradoxica
• Edict Zero: FIS
• Hadron Gospel Hour
• Our Fair City
• The Centauri Express (the podcast of the Atlanta Radio Theatre Company)
• The Bright Sessions
• Radio Drama Revival

I also listen to Dan Carlin's podcasts (Common Sense and Hardcore History) for a pretty balanced view on history and politics.

Also, as I'm studying and training to do voice work, I also subscribe to a number of voice-over feeds.

• Voice Acting Mastery
• Voice Over Cafe
• Voice Over Marketing Podcast
• Voice Over Weekly Podcast

In addition to the general voice-over stuff, I find that podcasts about podcasting (meta, anyone?) are also useful sources of knowledge.

• The Cliff Ravenscraft Show (originally called "The Podcast Answer Man)
• The School of Podcasting
• The Podcasters Studio
• The Audacity to Podcast

I know there's a lot here, so I hope you find something of interest.

No, and it isn't relevant. This specific brand wasn't on the market in 1980.

Not relevant. Brands of similar products attempt to out-compete each other, often by finding better ways to make things. If Brand X figured out how to make the same quality of tea with half the human labor, it could sell for half what Brand Y sells for.

So I spend a lot of time thinking about global climate change and why it isn't called global warming anymore.

Fair enough, but you get the point; stop being obtuse.

The fact of the matter is the price of products goes down over time. Sometimes, between today and tomorrow, a price fluctuates upwards; sometimes it does that thanks to things like the cost of shipping (oil), or construction. Sometimes speculative markets have an impact. Give it 3 years, 5 years, 10 years, 20 years, and the cost of everything follows an endless, downward trend.

This doesn't stop being true just because you can find one specific maker who can't run a business profitably without raising prices out of control; that maker will either get back in line or will go out of business. It also doesn't stop being true when people try to play the razor-and-blade model, lose, and have to adjust their prices--e.g. with fast food taking a loss on hamburgers and a giant profit on fries and soda, until people start rejecting soda and the price of burgers has to reflect their actual cost.

Consider the increase in agricultural outputs for non-increasing agricultural inputs and the impact on the expense share of food.

That decrease in inputs is technical progress: new technology allows production of the same goods more-cheaply (which enables us to make more-expensive goods, because they're suddenly cheap enough to make and sell).

You keep trying to argue that something changed last week and so it must expand to a general trend. Observe the productivity factor, and its fluctuations; and its trend is decidedly upwards. That's how economy works: we extend our means to achieve the maximum ends. We constantly seek ways to extend our means further--that's things getting cheaper.

By the by, on grocery shopping: the trend in the past 5 years and 10 years and 50 years has been for the proportion of people's income spent on food to go down. Households now average around 10.09% of their income spent on food as of 2015, versus 10.11% in 2014, versus 10.35% in 2013. For food at home ("groceries"), the share is 5.8% 2015, 5.9% 2014, 6.2% 2013, getting bigger going backwards; although that's semi-unfair, because people are spending more eating out at 4.3% 2015, 4.2% 2014, 4.1% 2013. The trend on total food makes more sense because people economize their time as well, and cheap food prepared by someone else becomes more-attractive as food gets cheaper--and becomes a bigger share of the bill. In 2000, the share of consumer income spent on food was around 13.5%.

Smaller and smaller percentages of people's money is going to food, it seems. You can obsess over a jug of tea all you want, but it won't hold back the tides of reality; facts are inconvenient, and the facts display that the price of food has been and continues to fall.

Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and the UAE -- all countries with which Trump has business dealings -- are still off the hook.

While I agree that those countries should also be on the list, that's a difficult proposition at the moment. Maybe when we're no longer dependent on their oil, which for better or worse is something Trump seems to be trying to do by cutting down the EPA. Either way, the travel ban was a list already comprised by the Obama administration and most of those countries have been bombed by the US in the last few years. Would you want to invest your money in a country that's being bombed? As a /.er you should understand the difference between correlation and causation.

On a curious side note, why is it that the media is spouting that it was Saudis who did 9/11 now but no one said a thing about that when we invaded Iraq and Afghanistan as a result of 9/11?

Anyway, while there haven't been "terror deaths" there certainly have been incidents, and Europe is currently experiencing a surge in crime since the refugees started coming in, with many of the crimes going unreported in the media and sometimes even unpunished in a misguided attempt to prevent racism.

A three-month ban is a pain in the ass for the people involved, but nothing insurmountable (i.e., don't leave the country for a few months... this is something I've had to deal with multiple times when moving to other countries), and no one said anything when the Obama administration stopped processing visa applications for Iraqis for six months.

Comparing sociosexuality with HIV prevalence shows that you're full of shit.

I'm not a mathematician, but - from many years ago - I do have a mathematics degree. I'm also not a musician, but I have a very strong interest in many types of music. (But not Disco! Nor Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass. But I digress.) And I have a very strong interest in dance: but I'm not a dancer.

Anyway, what you write resonates with me. At my university (Warwick) mathematics students could choose whether to be awarded a BSc (UK - BS in USA?) or a BA. Most chose BSc, but a few of us chose BA. My reasons were partly that I felt that most of the mathematics I chose to study was - although rigorous - in some ways more of an art than a science, and partly because I rather preferred having an "arts" degree to a science degree.

I read Francis Su's address in full, and I recommend it, particularly the sections on the importance of play (not just in mathematics) and beauty. (And if you read Andrew Wiles's account of how he finally saw how to solve the serious difficulty that was preventing his approach to proving "Fermat's Last Theorem", you'll appreciate the joy of creation.)

As an example of beauty in mathematics, I want to cite Muntz's Theorem, also known as the Muntz-Szasz Theorem. I came across this while taking a course in Topology: the set book was "Introduction to Topology and Modern Analysis" by G F Simmons. The appendices weren't included in the course but I read them, with not much understanding. But I was delighted when I read a description, without proof, of Muntz's Theorem. It didn't give me the aesthetic pleasure of the greatest music or dance, but my aesthetic pleasure in seeing this theorem was - and still is - maybe similar to that given by a good relatively minor piece by Beethoven or Chopin.

I think part of its appeal to me is that the theorem is a combination of the expected and the unexpected: if you were asked to guess at the correct form of the theorem, then you might well choose what is actually the theorem, but it's still in some ways a surprise, something which is perhaps also true of some of the greatest music - it can be both familiar and strange.

Think of a "continuous" function, say sin(x), and consider it defined on a restricted interval a <= x <= b.
* The Weierstrass Approximation Theorem says that any "continuous" function defined on a restricted interval a <= x <= b can be approximated as closely as we wish by (carefully chosen) polynomials of a sufficiently high degree.
* Muntz's Theorem says that suppose we don't allow all powers of x in the polynomials, and instead use only a restricted set of powers of x: for example
**maybe (1) only x**0 and x **i where i is a multiple of 3,
** or maybe (2) only x**0 and x **i where i is a prime number,
** or maybe (3) only x**0 and x **i where i is a power of 2:
then Weierstrass's Theorem is still true if and only if the infinite sum of 1/i diverges, where i are the powers of x allowed in the polynomials.
So polynomials of type (1) or (2) are all we need to approximate any continuous function, but for polynomials of type (3) there are some continuous functions which they can't approximate well.

If you're implying that Trump is some how anti-semetic or anti-Jewish, may I remind you that his Daughter and Son-in-Law are Jewish. Or is this more of a subtle attempt to brandish him as "Hitler"?

Hopefully neither is the case. But I do recommend the following link as a read no matter what your political stripe may be. Maybe then we can stop calling everything we don't like "Hitler" or "Nazi"

Oh god, no. Really? All this sola dosis facit venenum that increasing CO2 is causing. It's absolutely terrible. What is wrong with me. I'm not hysterical.

If at first you don't succeed never try again.

Trump did not even have control over the countries on the travel ban list, they were put there years ago, before he even ran for office. And it is really a surprise that Trump does business with the successful stable countries in the Middle east, and not with the ones engulfed in terrorism and civil war?

That sounds a lot like those third wave feminists.

Actually no, it sounds a lot more like old-school man-hating RadFems, those 3rd wavers are just so wishy-washy ...

But the issue here is this: there's huge difference between my wife complaining about being a victim when I bash her, and my claiming to be the victim when I bash her. A woman with a public voice who receives (even non-true) rape and death threats and the troll making those threats might indeed, as you say, "sound a lot like" each other when they claim victim-hood. The difference behind this similarity is that the woman is the actual victim the troll is the victimiser.

It's amazing though how effective this false victim-hood is at garnering support for the haters.

You'd think checkboxes would be the simple answer but tristate checkboxes (Checked/On, Unchecked/Off, Indeterminate) make things interesting.

You get tools vendors like DevExpress whose Indeterminate state is, depending on the theme, either fully clear (looks Unchecked/Off) or a filled in (could it be Checked/On) such as this example.

Why can't everyone settle on the horizontal line to represent Indeterminate such as this example?

You make it sound like the EPA is a good thing. As long as they are a proxy for Agenda 2030 they are NOT a good thing.

Second you don't encrypt jack shit when you work for the EPA. You are going to use the software the agency gives you to use. it actually sounds more to me, like you don't know jack shit about Federal Government employee SOP's.

Third the 60- crowd can't engineer their way out of a wet paper bag without a computer simulation for everything. Child you were in Diapers when I rolled out the yellow and black Wildcat 1.0

You can't visualize raw ROCKS, SAND and WATER, CEMENT and STEEL, nor Power and Frequency. If your talking encryption you dropped the ball personally yourself.

Lets see you have a

no? you must have skipped boy scouts then. I doubt your prepared today. Got a garden? Lazy you call us LAZY?

You don't know or get who trump hired because you still don't know (blissful ignorance) who hired TRUMP. You'll get the message soon enough.

Those cute little commie marxists with their "peaceful protest" have all grown up and are splitting skulls and attacking everyone. I don't care if they lose their obamacare and get deported. The alternative is a CIVIL WAR

You are uninformed about encryption. I and others can write a encryption program the NSA doesn't know. Good grief what are you doing on slashdot?

We are going to be restoring the republic. Traitors are going to get crushed along the way. You just keep thinking what ever you want to think, it will be great when you get a surprise that you were incorrect.

The "Womens protest" was hijacked by the MUSLIM DEATH CULT to bring SHARIA LAW to AMERICA.
Makes ya uninformed again or with marxist communists. If uninformed, Go hang out near the relocation centers and see how VILE these migrants are, they DO NPT WANT TO BE AMERICANS.

They desire to RAPE your daughter cut her clitoris off and cut your head off. (your really pissing me off I served this country!)

The rest of the brainwashing is complete for now all they have to do is Call you a NAZI and then they justify punching you. Check out ANTI-FA how twisted their version of the word FASCISM and FASCIST is. The word along with NAZI is now weaponized against their enemies -- the hell with truth.

Some now have meet mr CCW for their swan songs.
The Lesson here is they shouldn't "peacefully protest" by commiting 242's 415's on someone traveling to work and not expect to get a free ride to go meet Alah personally

Others traitors already heading to consequence alley for violating USC code and soon to pay with a dime and 25 G's. Paid to commit domestic treason. that's gonna sting.

you can call me a deplorable. OR someone sick of the crap.

I don't HIRE, nor do business with snowflakes or their pals. The more they talk the stupider they look.

Note: If RESPONSIBLE ADULTS find FACTS that are incorrect you got my permission to FIX em to the TRUTH otherwise I don't give a fudge bar what you think, your mind is too small to be able to think.

No the line was that there would be no snow by 2010

The most often quoted line I've seen would be from David Viner, of the University of East Anglia, quoted in the U.K. newspaper The Independent on 20 March 2000 with the headline 'Snowfalls are now just a thing of the past', and as far as I know he was referring to the south of England only. No peer reviewed source has ever made any such claims, about either England or anywhere else, but here's a nice recent review article of snowfall patterns in England. It does show a reduction in the frequency and extent of snow-lying days.

These same theories were the same ones used in the 1920's, the only real difference is that they're using computer modeling instead of doing it by long hand.

This is categorically untrue. In the 1920s the closest thing to a GCM would be Arrhenius, but he was discredited, and the early computer modeling used very different strategies. But whether they're old or new models is irrelevant. Again, models are not empirical evidence and do not either support or refute AGW.

I must note that you did not reply to any of the questions I asked. What specifically about our knowledge of CO2 do you feel is incomplete or incorrect? Do you know why the consensus against AGW was overturned, and if so do you feel that was insufficently well supported by observation? Do answer as rigorously as you can.

I hear people say that about health care and it's hilariously stupid because the US pays the most per capita for health care and covers way less people than other countries do.

That was the most common argument i saw for Obamacare. Unfortunately, it's wrong. Before Obamacare was passed, the U.S. already spent just about as much government money ("public expenditure") as percent of GDP and per capita as Canada did on its single payer system. Since Obamacare, it's actually gotten worse, with the U.S. government now spending 25% more per capita on health care than Canada.

The reason for the high health care costs in the U.S. isn't because of lack of government provided health care as the socialists want to think it is. In fact, given that medicare ("public expenditure") recipients are only 17% of the population but account for roughly half of the U.S. health care costs, there's a strong argument to be made that government-provided health care is the problem.

The question is what exactly does "war" mean. Is just bombing a "war" without ground invasion? Does the war powers act require authorization for *any* military "help"? Iraq was certainly a "war" by any definition, and Bush may have had approval from congress but it was still (arguably) a violation of international law.

You know a meme was created to address that line of idiocy.

In any case, there's no comparison between Bush and Obama interventions in terms of lives and taxpayer cost.

Of course there is. And under Obama, Iraq would have turned into a bloodbath years before it had under Bush. Because the main killer of Iraqis wasn't the initial invasion, but the sectarian civil war that followed. What's Obama's favorite method to depose Arab governments? Creating sectarian civil wars, by directly arming ISIS and Al Queda - something else Bush didn't do.

You are mistaken - there was a working prototype.

Labour's Claudia Beamish, who has put forward a members' bill calling for a fracking ban, said it was a "major let-down" that it was not mentioned in the statement. While she broadly welcomed the draft plan, she said: "If the government was serious about tackling climate change it would back my Bill to ban fracking in Scotland."

You poor fucking Scots have the same type of no win system as we do.

Sincerely,

The Rest of the World

Why are gays bundled with transpeople? They are not remotely similar. Being gay is a manner of attraction, which you develop as part of your subconscious by subconsciously rejecting your biological drive to reproduce. Being trans equates to denying your DNA. You're quite literally rejecting your body. You wouldn't tell someone suffering from bulimia that they do look fat, nor should you tell someone suffering from thinking they're the opposite gender. Clearly, they're really the other gender that requires a lifetime of medicine to sustain.

Are you even listening to yourself? Your rant against trans people employs the exact same reasoning that is employed against gay people, with a couple words switched around.

Also, pretending that a 2-year old is actually picking their gender is bizarre.

Yes, it is bizarre that you would bring up something like that.

just like people do not deserve to get rhinoplasty at taxpayer expense

You get your degree in absurd false equivalencies from Ben Shapiro or Pete Hoekstra?

They could run over someone and that makes them dangerous enough.

If we use that standard, the technology will never be permitted (and neither would any other new thing). Testing is necessary, yes, but we need not fall victim to the perfect solution fallacy.

Jim Crow laws were not the work of progressives. The whole point of them was to thwart the progressive agenda and preserve the status quo. They were about as regressive as you could possibly get.

Science at the time said that black were genetically inferiors to whites, and progressives saw segregation and eugenics as the rational response. That is, segregation was "the progressive agenda" at the time, and Jim Crow laws were consistent with it. http://bfy.tw/9SHj

Nazism were not in any way shape or form based on the progressive tradition.

Again, you're disputing basic historical facts. I'm not even going to dignify this with a response; my parents lived through this and were subjected to the "scientific" studies of Nazi scientists. You need to read up on your history, instead of political propaganda .

No one is ever required to disclose their race, religion, or sexual orientation. While various questionnaires may ask about them, you are always permitted to leave them blank.

People are even permitted to lie on them, which I and others certainly do. In addition, these questions don't have an objective, verifiable answer: although for some people, the answer is clear, for many it isn't; race or sexual orientation simply aren't well-defined categories.

Which then raises the question: given that the information is not verifiable, has no objective meaning, and is not statistically representative, how can it possibly be used to accuse and penalize companies for discrimination? Obviously, the current situation can't stand: either you end up with government-defined categories and mandatory responses, or you can't use this data at all as part of law enforcement.

You still are totally avoiding the main subject of this conversation: your claim that anti-discrimination laws are harmful to peace, prosperity, equality, and liberty. I have asked you again and again to provide evidence of that, and you have yet to offer a single shred of evidence

You have already cited the evidence yourself, you just refuse to see it. If you look at economic progress, there was no obvious change in slope when the civil rights act was passed, and that is for all provisions of the act.

Here are high school graduation rates: no effect of the civil rights act

Ditto for median household income: no effect of the civil rights act.

The one thing where you see a big change in social indicators around the civil rights act is illegitimacy, and that's a change for the worse.

So, even minimal fact checking tells you that the civil rights act had no great practical effect on major indicators of progress for African Americans. Its repeal of racist laws and government policies was a moral victory, but beyond that it is massive government interference with no clear benefit.

If you want more analysis, I have told you to read the works of Thomas Sowell as a starting point (there are many other books, but he is an engaging writer, and has credibility and personal experience).

The problem isn't that I have failed to give you evidence, the problem is that you have shown yourself time and again to be resistant to it. Instead of reading up on the history of progressivism, scientific racism, eugenics, or reading up on criticism of affirmative action, you simply and uncritically dig up links to articles that restate your own misconceptions. And, yeah, it's not surprising that you can find such links: obviously, a lot of people have the same erroneous beliefs that you do.

I get the nostalgia and novelty value of using old media. I even understand liking LPs because at least they had decent-sized art and liner notes. But cassettes? --ing cassettes?
I've written about this before, but basically, cassettes combine the worst aspects of LPs and CDs.

And you should also admit that Trump is largely the source of the "hire local" climate, he's caused companies to rethink their outsourcing plans, especially in light of the alternative candidate who said explicitly that she wants completely open borders for job seekers.

Nope. That's been something proclaimed for YEARS. It's been a scam.

So is Trump's "Carrier deal" and "Ford and he lied about "Boeing too.

Durp, durp, durp. You lie about Hillary Clinton as well. Just like Your Orange God

Who also made up a story about bidding on drugs. LOL. Yeah, let's see him change the Republican's opposition to the reform proposed by Democrats for decades. He'll either come up with a way to screw us, or fail and claim he somehow saved us anyway.

But none of that matters. I don't think many people really care who takes the credit.

Is it important to you?

Help me out here.

Why should credit even matter?

Ask your good buddy, Donald J. Trump, who puts his name on everything.

Sorry, but some of us know that Donald only wants CREDIT for success, he doesn't even care if the job gets done.

Maybe you like his over-the-top bombastic style of self-aggrandizement, maybe you think his much vaunted narcissism is a matter of virtue, but you're the one who has to look at what you've embraced.

With open eyes. He's already said he likes being liked. He can't see a problem in that. He'll be a suck-up to anybody who offers him praise.

And if you dare to criticize or challenge him, he'll throw a tantrum.

Can you supply any references for the debunked consensus? When I originally looked into the matter, I found several papers confirming the consensus, but it has been a few years since I looked

> but Fujichrome Velvia was the pick if you wanted to work the cooler colors

I don't know, Velvia seemed like it rendered things a bit warm to me.

This person feels the same way about Velvia's warmth. I used to love Velvia!

Lets see how many "tolerant" progressives show how enlightened they are by down modding as Troll and then AC posting a very unpersuasive F-U to my post because they "feel" so strongly that they must be right. Just remember that ad homonym is the last bastion of a dying argument.

The entire CO2/anthropogenic global warming argument is a canard, and is only believed by the climate "scientists" whose jobs/grants depend on it and those without a degree in hard physical science or those who just believe whatever their told. The "all scientists believe global warming" bullshit came from a cherry picked poll with no scientific methodology and therefore no accuracy and they are following the Nazi path that a lie told long enough and loud enough will be believed. Truth is many climate scientists do not agree with global warming; I can point to dozens, and that is not an exhaustive list by any means, those are just people willing to be abused in the name of truth by the fascist global warming nuts. The rest of us would like to keep our day jobs.

The reality is that plant growth on land/in oceans is limited by atmospheric/free CO2. Right now environuts are running around with their hair on fire because they say CO2 is at 400 PPM (parts per million) or 0.04%, which in and of its self is debatable (cities and power plants among others create localized plumes of elevated CO2, if your monitoring is anywhere near a plume, then you are measuring the plume instead of true ambient levels).

Here are a few facts: Every fossil fuel that is burned today was once living matter, either plant or animal (undisputed fact). Thus it was once part of the natural CO2 planetary cycle and at a time when life was flourishing. But somehow, re-adding that carbon to the planetary system after being trapped in coal or oil or natural gas deposits will throw the world out of balance and make the world too hot to be habitable? Completely irrational on the face of it.

More facts: The oceans contain 37.4T tons of suspended carbon, land biomass has 2000-3000B tons. The atmosphere contains 720B tons of CO2 and humans contribute only 6B tons additional load on this balance. The oceans, land and atmosphere exchange CO2 continuously so the additional load by humans is ~0.0146% of the overall global exchange. A 1% change in the balance between oceans and air would cause a CO2 change 71 times larger than anything we could produce. Anyone who thinks that natural interchanges like this don't vary over time by more than 0.015% is an idiot and no student of history. We know for a fact that the planet has been both much hotter and much cooler than current day.

I thought Ford was the only one who didn't take a bailout? GM and Chrysler got billions shoveled at them, but Ford didn't take any of the 2008 money...

Ford tried to make a commercial on that. It was their pointlessly hypocritical appeal to American pride. Truth was more complicated.

But go ahead, stroke your piston, and think the bowtie brigade was a bunch of winners.

They ended that campaign early. It was just needless antagonism leading people to point out their deceit.

A giant schlong? Pffft. Child porn isn't offensive if hanging in a church. Just paint some wings on the naked kids and call them Putti and you're fine.

Not to mention the infamous blowjob window. SFW? You decide, it's a church window, how NSFW could that possibly be?

3) The first graph in Appendix A should surprise every CAGW alarmist, because it completely destroys your narrative.

Three things:
That graph only covers the USA, less than 3% of the Earth's surface.

I'm not sure that the number of 100 degree days is particularly meaningful in the context of global warming. Since more warming is occurring overnight and in winter than in summer it's certainly possible that warming is occurring without increasing the number of 100 degree days.

I'd like to see Christy's method of selecting those 982 stations.

His criticism don't change the fact that the models are WRONG by a whopping FACTOR of 3.

Climate observations remain well within the 95% uncertainty range of most climate models. If you think they should be more accurate than that I think your criteria for judging models needs to be revised.

It was the super El Nino of 2016. This is already ending and it looks like severe La Nina may be building, which is why Greenland is putting on ice at a record rate (fourth graphic on the following page):

Here's a discussion of current ENSO conditions. It looks like there are currently some weak La Nina conditions but that's expected to end and ENSO neutral conditions will persist through the spring.

I've read the Groenland page in detail. I agree that this year so far is way above average in surface mass balance. But it's only one year. Neither you nor anybody else has any idea at this point what is means in the long run. It may be the start of a trend or it may be just a part of natural variability. We'll have to wait and see. In the context of climate you just make a fool of yourself emphasising such a short period.

In short, the models were WRONG.

In short your criteria for judging the models is wrong. How can you predict ahead of time the strength of solar cycles? How can you predict ahead of time volcanic eruptions? How can you predict ahead of time the cycle of El Nino/La Nina? The answer is you can't. All you can give a climate model is a realistic scenario for those things based on past behavior.

Rerunning the models with actual behavior of those things is a check on how good the model is. They don't change the model, just the input to more accurately reflect what happened in the real world for things they couldn't predict ahead of time. How can you possibly think that they should be able to know ahead of time exactly what would happen?

And you would be wrong. Perhaps you shouldn't skim next time.

I read that part around Christy's radiosonde graph in detail before I brought it up with you. That graph does indeed end in 2005. In this blog post Tamino (statistician Grant Foster) compares satellite to radiosonde out to about 2015. The second graph clearly shows the divergence of radiosonde (RATPAC) data to UAH and RSS satellite date after about 2006. Christy had access to that data so why didn't he show it.

You go all political again at the end. I can find plenty of analyses that show it will be far more costly to ignore AGW than to do something about it. I guess the way things are going people who are younger than me will find out how bad it gets.
