I manage one of the "corporations" that you referred to. That makes it relevant. We employ 10 people and your stupid 3k tax credit doesn't even come close to being a blip on our radar considering it wont even offset the ridiculous amount of unemployment insurance we have to pay so people can get their 2 years of unemployment benefits. And no, we don't employ a single college graduate, including myself. We make a product that doesn't get subsidized, and actually have to meet real world demand. That's why we pay people more than minimum wage. And when someone works more than 40 hours a week we pay them overtime as required by law, and we appreciate their efforts.
Why would I hire someone that I have to pay at least 25K per year when I dont need the labor, a 3k credit is not going to change that.. The business climate sucks, in 6 months the largest tax increase in american history is about to go into affect. We still don't clearly know how regulations and policies instituted over the last 3 years are going to affect us. The specter of cap and trade is looming. Too many unknowns. You want us to hire people? Make it easier to do business.
A natural source of CO2 is a source than cannot be taxed, regulated, or otherwise controlled by people claiming salvation from the impending apocalypse. That is the only distinction.
I think canon barrels are by definition rigid. Rifle barrels routinely hit 70,000psi during combustion of propellant. When barrels are proof tested (by using higher energy propellants) they are subjected to pressures 50% above that. I am certain that a barrel will easily survive the external pressure of 2400psi that water exerts at 5,280ft. In fact the barrel can probably be made slightly thinner and light towards the breech end because the water pressure will act as a slight reinforcement.
The only reason you have a racist nationalist party is because your government subsidizes it. It forces your media to provide air-time as if those viewpoints were on equal footing.
Sure everything you are saying could be true...if it happened overnight. If the coastline recedes by a mile over the course of a day or week, big problems. If the coastline recedes by a mile over the course of a year, problematic but less so. If the coastline recedes by a mile over the course of 100 years, no big deal. Secondly, it is true that humanity has adapted to the current climate. But humanity has also adapted to many other climates over the course of the last 100,000 years and has thrived. And in truth humanity has adapted to the many different climates of the present. If it's possible for someone who grew up Sudan to live in Alaska, I would say we have nothing to worry about if global temperatures change by 4-6 degrees over the next 100 years.
Oh noes! The fish migration patterns have shifted over the last 50 years. Ma, load up the truck, we're adapting and moving up the coast so we can catch more fish.
I think you are missing something here. Realclimate.org is run by the CRU. The CRU is the organization where these emails originated.
You don't even seem to realize that Mann and the other contributors to realclimate.org are also the people that authored these emails.
Believing that you can read realclimate and get good insight into this controversy, is the equivalent of thinking you can read a Blackwater press release and fully understand how contracting works in Iraq.
Interestingly, I live in Monticello, Wisconsin. I can get a 25 megabit fiber connection to my house for 70$ a month. And to top it off, my local telco is none other than TDS.
Obviously you did some research before you stated this. I clearly remember all those times that Bush said we were at war with all Muslims in the world, not just the factions that support terrorism.
You just keep living in your alternate reality. I'm sure that will enable you to make clear objective decisions in the future.
Pakistan? Pakistan didn't attack us. Al Queda wasn't in Pakistan until we attacked Afghanistan. Maybe it's the air-raiding of villages and the bombing of innocent civilians that drove them there. I guess the difference now is that we don't have a Republican in the White House.
Who'd of thought that employers, even state agencies, change their behavior in response to tax policy. If you want employers to hire more workers, make it easier and less expensive to hire and pay.

Way to be an asshat.

In other news, humans that gorged themselves on rat food quickly became bloated with intestinal gas, and then died of starvation within several weeks.

Where does the methane that the animals fart out come from? I would think animal methane is carbon neutral.
Is anyone going to refute the paper with facts, or just ad-hominem attacks against the messenger?
"WG1 is almost entirely peer-reviewed."
That's the funniest thing I've read on slashdot this year.
"Excuse me sir, your wife is almost entirely pregnant"
Dont forget Jonestown.
My sarcasm meter isn't sensitive enough. Are you serious about this post, or is it tongue slightly in cheek?

Is that truly what you see as the role of the president? Personally preventing businesses from making money? Good luck with that strategy in 3 years.
Perhaps if they charged less than $60 for a tier one new release, sales would go up.

Entropy?
Oh noes! Sea level rose 0.1 cm last year. I hope we can outrun the tidal wave. Ma, load up the truck, we're headin for the hills!
Who is Watts? And what does he have to do with our conversation?
