Much as I'd love to jump at any chance blame Trump for anything, I'd say North Korea is closer to the mark. They've pissed off the Chinese, and the Chinese are attacking their revenue stream. There was a related story here two days ago.
No problem. As I corrected you in this same topic earlier, the earth is not a perfect black body. Go see my other reply to your black body first semester physics nonsense for details. You're not very smart so I'm sorry if you don't understand where the heat goes.
Hint: the earth is surrounded by this thing called "outer space".
Perhaps you could explain to us your understanding of the subject in more detail.
Where in the world did you get that idea? Unless the parts of Greenland I've been to just happen to be completely outside the norm, your claim seems to be total bullshit.
He is correct, much of the bedrock underneath the icecap is below sea level. It would rebound if the ice cap melted, but would take millenia to do so.
I'm tired of all this 'Got off on a technicality' crap. It is not the fault of the technicality, IT IS SOMEONE SCREWING UP ENOUGH THAT THEY GET CALLED ON IT.
And to end one of the bullshit arguments before it starts:
NASA stands for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
Aeronautics is "the science or art involved with the study, design, and manufacturing of air flight capable machines, and the techniques of operating aircraft and rockets within the atmosphere."
Remind me, what is the meaning of "Space Administration"?
I firstly read about this in a Spanish newspaper claiming that it was bigger than Madrid. Afterwards, I found out in Twitter that it was bigger than London. And now I know that it is as big as Delaware! And the worst part is that I don't even have a reasonably accurate idea about how big it is! LOL.
I too have been introduced to new measurements today. Apparently, 1 Galway + 1 Delaware = 0.5 Wales!
the EU [..] will be around for a long, long time to come
Not with these youth unemployment numbers.
You would be better off looking at youth employment numbers. Even though the EU officially has higher youth unemployement than the USA, a higher percentage of them are working. You might want to look at your own numbers and the methods used to calculate them.
The court simply has to find that the Irish company is not actually a separate entity. And it's not. It's a shell set up to dodge the law
A shell company is a non-trading entity with no significant assets other than cash. What exactly do you think they do with their roughly 2000 staff? Do server farms count as assets in your book?
Google is a US company. The EU is going after them solely because of this fact, while domestic firms are given carte blanche
Absolutely true. Just look at the list of companies that have had antitrust rulings against them. Daimler, DAF, Saint-Gobain, Philips, Renault, Iveco, Siemens, Deutsche Bank.... None of these companies would have been ruled against if they were from the EU.
Sounds like the best spin they could come up with, lest they generate another disastrous round of headlines like these: https://news.slashdot.org/stor...
Ship gets stuck in ice in the arctic circle in the depths of winter.
Oh come on, same incident. 1 ship stuck in ice in the antarctic circle and got away again. Linking it 4 times doesn't make it 4 incidents. Ships get stuck in ice in frozen seas.
If you read between all of the weasel wording, the real story is that some Warming Alarmists actually believed the hype about all of the sea ice melting - so when lots more ice came back the mission they had predicated on ice not returning, was totally screwed.
That's pretty much the exact opposite of what the story said. It said that due to increased ice melt the remaining ice was much more mobile and was reaching further south than they had expected.
We'd be up in arms if it was the FBI breaking into the systems to gather evidence of illegal activity with out a writ or warrant. Without the backing of the law the 'hacker' is and should be guilty of digital crimes
I'm not sure that accessing a server exposed to the internet with no password on it really counts as "breaking in".
To which election do you refer? The 1932 Presidential one, where he got 30.1% and 36.8% in the first and second rounds respectively, or the 1933 Federal election, where NSDAP (the NAZI party) got 43.91%?
Yes, about time we stopped wasting money on services for the proles. Just think, with the money saved by eliminating this scheme, Trump can go to Mar a Lago 10 times a month!
The country called Ireland is independent. You are referring to Northern Ireland, which is a contituent part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

No you didn't, at least not from any reputable source.

I was under the impression that it was traditional when providing a link to support a claim, that you choose one that actually supports your claim.

Just look at actual socialist democracies, very few of the means of production are owned and controlled by the workers.
To be fair, in so-called "communist" countries they weren't controlled by the workers either. They were controlled by military dictatorships.
We can do without humans. Frankly speaking, we can do without any particular species. Life will re-balance, it always has.
And who exactly is this "we"?
Some sort of flightless bird?
Definitely flightless. They can also be quite large, and often have unusual odours.

the 1900 hurricane hit Galveston, killing between 8 and 12,000 people
That's a rather large margin of error.
Much of the actual land is below sea level.

According to Wikipedia Greenland is ~ 2.2 million km^2... the USA is 3.8 million km^2.
So yes, Greenland IS large.
USA is 9.8 million km^2, you were quoting the size in square miles. Doesn't change the fact that Greenland is still bloody big.

Being innocent is a technicality.

I hate it when I get a hotel where I can't set the temp to 21.5C. 21C is too cold.
What are you, some kind of lizardman? Anything over 10C is too hot.

Well I guess that's a new reason to say "nothing to see here" compared to the usual denialist crap.

Hitler was backed by over 90% of the people

And that's why your views of social policy are completely out of touch with reality.
Perhaps. I looked up the local figures for last year, apparently the poverty line is considered to be $12174 for a single person.
The poverty line for a couple is $16000.
Where I live that wouldn't even cover rent for a modest dwelling in a suburban satellite town.
Right before your eyes ;)

In related news, Scotland's parliament has just "approved plans to request a referendum on independence that could take place just before Britain completes its withdrawal from the European Union". Ireland may not be far behind in making its own bid for independence. Would it still be "Great" Britain if it was just England and Wales?
