    Hint: How come 2014 was the warmest year on record if temperatures didn't rise?

    Don't you mean how come there was a 38% chance that 2014 was the warmest year on record?

    You do realize the ice is melting, exposing more dark ocean and earth and accelerating the retention of heat?

    I was under the impression that ice coverage was expanding (maybe all the heat that should be melting it is sinking into the deep ocean)

    Pot, kettle, molten pool of aluminium(at least in the Mariana Trench)

    Where exactly does it say that in the IPCC report?

    Just after where it says the sky is falling, we will all spontaneously combust by 2013, the oceans will swallow the land, the rich will get richer and land values at the peak of Everest will skyrocket.

    The most successful liars don't outright lie; they skillfully milk the boundary between truth and lie.

    Telling the truth in a way that makes the listener decode what you say incorrectly is the best way.

    It's a PC term to refer to the disabled. Let's say you wer born with no arm or legs and you had hydrocephalus(is that the word). You would have other abilities to a standard person. Apparently in some fields you would be like a superhuman in comparison.

    I've been trying to nut out ways to avoid this sort of stuff and it seems that no matter what if a human has ultimate control then there will always be a way to screw the pooch(so to speak). If a computer has ultimate control then God help us all.

    Spoiled brats don't have to deal with consequences. Spoiled brats will drive like assholes. A shiny new car enforces this mentality, and it encourages driving with friends and doing stupid shit.
