Much like the rest of the world Antarctica has winters and summers and ice increases in the winter and decreases in the summer. The winter limits of Antarctic sea ice (ice floating on the ocean which contributes nothing to sea level in either melted or frozen state) are increasing and the summer limits are ever smaller every year with some of the largest calving off of major floating glaciers ever seen in recorded history.
Yes, yes. We have summer and winter in both hemispheres. If you want me to elaborate on the point I made in response to the comment I was replying to, the growth of annual maximum antarctic sea ice volume is far smaller than the shrinkage in the annual minimum arctic ice volume. Happy now?
OH fucking bullshit. No, the skeptics aren't just asking for evidence, they spend pretty much the entirety of any diatribe attacking scientists, denying evidence, and promoting completely ludicrous an unscientific claims
I'm sorry, that just is not true. The people who claim to be skeptics, on the other hand...
OK, at this point I know I'm being trolled so this will be my final post on the subject. What I have stated is exactly how statistics work, and the the figures bear me out. What you are calculating with the figures from here, are not the probabilities of being a cross-race murder victim, but that of being a cross-race murderer. In that respect, a black person is 10.37 times as likely to kill a white person as a white person is to kill a black person, and that is a fairly dismal statistic. But that was not the claim that was made in the post I responded to.
Hmm, OK, I guess I see what you were saying now, not that the other guy was wrong, he is 100% right, I crunched the numbers and a white person is statistically like 11X more likely to be shot by a black person (1/93,000) than a black person is to be shot by a white person (1/1,000,000). So you were wrong and he was not lying.
Lets re-visit the numbers that you listed above. 189 black people murdered by whites out of 37.7M is 1 in 199471. 409 white people murdered by blacks out of 197.7M is 1 in 483374. So, by the statistics that YOU provided, a black person is 2.4 times more likely to be murdered by a white person than a white person is to be murdered by a black person. I was not wrong, and he was lying.
Further, your assertion that "a larger percentage of the total black male population will be shot by a white man than the percentage of the white male population that will be shot by a black man" is meaningless for the purposes of this discussion
No, it is not. This discussion is about the words I was replying to: "By the way, a white man is several times more likely to be shot by a black man, than the other way around".
Playing with percentages can get easily confused and obfuscate the underlying issue. They are handy for comparison, but can be easily misconstrued or used to conflate facts (see my reply to AC above). The best place to go for the raw facts is here: https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-t...
From 2013:
Out of 197.7M whites, 189 murdered a black person, 2509 murdered a white person
Out of 37.7M blacks, 409 murdered a white person, 2245 murdered a black person
All well and good, and I believe I qualified what I said with a disclaimer that agrees with the point you are making. It does not make me any less correct when I point out that the person I was replying to is a liar.
By the way, a white man is several times more likely to be shot by a black man, than the other way around
That is demonstrably false, there are lots of statistics available on the interwebs. If you were to say that, for any given shooting incident, it was more likely to be a black man shooting a white man than vice versa, you would be correct, but that does not change the fact that a larger percentage of the total black male population will be shot by a white man than the percentage of the white male population that will be shot by a black man.
Regan was never president. White House Chief of Staff and Secretary of the Treasury before that, but never president. Unless I'm in an alternate universe, Ronald REAGAN is who you were referring to. Proofread!
FWIW, my grammar sucks, I'm working on it. But I try to re-read things I type before hitting "Submit" so that one day, maybe people will go back to thinking spelling and grammar are important again. I would love to say it's all Republicans...or all Democrats...but it's both, whether in a hurry or just ignorant. I don't know. The drop in people caring, however, is unpresidented.

Unfortunately, your care in criticizing the spelling mistakes of others is precedented.
The article said she was 27, which doesn't count as a child. But I suppose, given the fact that her father said he would have yelled at her for drunk driving, there definitely could have been some degree of infantilization here.
This means that zinc and other volatile elements, most notably water, probably evaporated off the moon while it was being formed in a violent collision or soon afterward, while its surface was still incredibly hot.
Ok, we all know water is an element, but isn't zinc a compound of earth and air?
Apple might have better luck after the Populist Revolution sweeps Europe this year.
It won't in Ireland. We have a centrist (or leftwing if you're American) minority government propped up by their biggest opponents, another centrist party. Irish people (notwithstanding recent terrorist history) are generally not fond of any form of extremism.
Yeah, difficult choice. Should we exonerate somebody who leaked information about the cold blooded murder of innocent journalists by brainwashed gun happy retards?
Have you ever seen the sun? It is far enough away to essentially be considered a point light source. There is no significant difference in the amount of insolation between the hemispheres, except for the fact that the earth is closer during the southern hemisphere's summer, causing the summers there to be sunnier and the winters darker than in the northern hemisphere. Overall, southern hemisphere insolation is higher.
I have no sympathy for people using a claim of feeling threatened as an obvious attempt at censorship. Sending an animation specifically crafted to induce seizures to someone you know is an epileptic is not free speech.
My heart says... go get that bastard who did this.
My head says... that's a violation of privacy expectations. No one expects their details to be released to other users of the system. In this case it was perhaps justified, but if they open the door there will be other requests for private information, some less just.
Just because it is on the internet does not automatically convey the right to privacy. I'm all in favour of anonymous services to protect freedom of speech, etc. but I expect the right to privacy walking down a public street. If someone assaults me on that street, I don't care about his right to privacy, I want him arrested.
I would guess the exact opposite. They have a much larger deficit in production, and need more both to bring them more inline with our consumption patterns, and also for construction of better infrastructure.
Houston seems be benefitting from excess wind production in other areas of the state, many of which are at substantially negative cost. Why would anyone sell wind turbine power at negative cost? Wouldn't it make more sense to shut the turbine down and spare the maintenance? The answer is the subsidies. Many wind farms make much more from the subsidies than their actual function of providing power.
Negative cost given the infrastructural investment, or negative cost compared to maintenance? If you've already paid for and built your turbines, some loss is still better than total loss.
The US exports lots of stuff. Here are the top 10 categories of exports. Machines, electronics, aircraft, vehicles, oil, medical technology, plastics, gems/metals, pharmaceuticals, chemicals. The US is the second largest export economy in the world behind China. In 2014 the US exported roughly $1.45 Trillion in goods
That may all be true, but neither the USA or China are anywhere near the top of the list when it comes to exports per capita. That actually make a lot of sense though, as smaller economies are more likely to have certain industries that simply aren't present in them, and to have both larger imports and exports per capita than larger nations. At the end of the day, the exact number for exports doesn't really matter. What matters is, as was pointed out by Type44Q, whether you have a surplus or deficit. I don't know if this is included in statistics that are released, but for an even better picture you should also include repatriated monies, such as profits from overseas subsidiaries coming into the country, or foreign workers sending money home to their families abroad.

How's that working out for you?

Artic sea ice is not all sea ice. Antarctic ice was increasing last I checked
Yes, it is. At approximately 1 tenth the rate of ice loss in the arctic, by volume.
Why does it take 37 years to show nature is responsible?
Something doesn't smell right.
What do you mean, "nature is responsible"? The article basically says that, despite global warming, weather is still variable.

What a load of hype.
The article wasn't a complete dud. Before reading it, I had not known that "one advantage potato great genetic capacity for adaptation".
I though the editing was Goodenough.

And think of the possibilities: mammoth steaks in every restaurant! My mouth waters at the thought....
Note, for the humour-impaired, that the above was a joke. Now if we were to re-engineer the Dodo (tastes like chicken!), then we'd be cooking....
You jest, but according to this, mammoth was indeed the meat of choice for our neolithic ancestors.

Depends on the circumstances. This sounds reasonable, it was a deliberate, targeted attempt to cause physical harm to someone.
