Please try to understand It' about the alarming rate at which it's happening.
" temperatures have been increasing at a dramatic clip: from the first decade of the twentieth century to now, global average temperatures rose from near their coldest point since the ice age to nearly their warmest"
So a temperature that took thousands of years rise previously took 100 years. If we where at this temperature after a 6500 year upward trend, then you would have a point. but we are not, and you do not.

Just so you know, the data was left out because it was irrelevant to the point. That data was MORE evidence supporting AGW, not less. Again it wasn't to the point of the specific report. That data was about the tree ring divergence "problem". Which only applies to s subset of the globe. It was new, or counter data.
Media also picked up on the word 'trick' as if they where tricking someone one when it mean they found a clever way of doing something.
The media has apparently made you their bitch about this topic. Did you even stop for a second to consider one that actual data was releases every media outlet and politician suddenly shut up? DO you think Palin would have shut up if there was something actually hidden? Which bring me to another point. Sarah Palin is an ignorant moron. She can never answer any question abtou any topic that is more the a superfical talking point.
Don't listen to her, she is a stooge. And that's about her, not the party. YO might want to actually look into it instead of repeat what you heard pundits screaming.
I don't. People forget that we are approaching a feedback loop. When that happens, it will be 200 degrees on the planet in less then 50 years... and still rising.
50 years from the runaway beginning, not 50 years from now.
" once things are destroyed we have a tendancy to build them back up and build them better." we were able to do that becasue we had cheap and easy energy.
sigh. The majority of people working don't get to pick when they go to work. changing the clocks so there is more light when you get home means more time outdoors thing to enjoy. No one, and I mean no one, thinking there is more daylight during the day cycle, only the clocks have changes so they go to work when its still dark and have more light to use when they get home.
Anyone who says " turning our clocks back and forth doesn't actually change the amount of sunlight per day" Hasn't actually thought about the issue.
I will miss it, as well many people in the north. Some things you should probably consider: 1) No one is trying to trick mother natures, if you think it's about that, then you are fucking stupid and STFU 2) There is no indicator that, overall, money is wasted 3) "In a modern world where clocks are set by the atom " This underscores how ignorant you small minded you are. It has nothing to dodo the the accuracy of a clock.
More daylight in the evening is beneficial and enjoyable.
Yo do know we live on a globe, right? and that northern states are impacted more by the shifting about of daylight? And there aren't a lot of places that get an exact amount of day and night every year? and that not everyone gets to pick there work hours? and people do more outside in the evening then in the morning? People use more electricity for lighting in the evening then they do in the morning?
Most people get up just in times to shower, eat and then go to work. Not a lot of relaxing hang around tyime. and if there where it would be colder anyways Bunch of short sighted morons.
OTOH, you publicly display how ignorant you are about Capitalism and feudalism in your sig. So I guess I shouldn't be surprised by ignorant people thinking there opinion on the matters is valid.
"Too many doctors simply believe that either we are not capable of understanding our own records," that's actual valid. You probably aren't able to interpret your own record with in real accuracy. Patients have very little or no ability to separate the information in their records from the massive marketing of 'medical' devices and they will not understand the impact of what is in the records.
" or that doctors should be free of the burden of of discussing those records." I have never met a Dr. That felt that way. I've worked with 50-60 of them through out my career, so my sample size is tiny, and it's an anecdote. As far as my person physicians go, They have been more then willing to go over my records. Now if you show up for a 20 minute routine check up, and then want to spend hours go over your entire medical records they will be irritated becasue it wasn't scheduled for and you are being rude. Make an appointed for going over you medical records.

And you don't understand the issue at all.
We put out more CO2 that can get back into the cycle.
Think about that.
And its not 'a few degrees' it's a constant temperature climb.
And don't act like we are talking about the complete removal of all CO2. You're being stupid.
Yes becasue it will stop once we get to that ideal point.
Enjoy you cut ate home when you are enjoying a 175 degree summer, and food shortages.
You're premise is based on the fallacy that it will stop. It is in no way beneficial to anyone for more then a couple of decades.

It isn't moot. If we wait too long there is no going back.
Seriously.
And it will take decades to get enough thorium to begin ti see a dent in CO2.
That said, yes we should go to thorium.
how would you measure it other then per capita?

Becasue they are often the same company, or owned by the same company?
Yes they did..OTOH Nixon would be considered a liberal by today's pubs.
Think about that.
still is, non of which counts as work experience.
I don't.

Yes.
'springing forward' increases risk of heart attack
maybe. IN small studies there have been some small changes. Let's see some good studies.
I will miss it, as well many people in the north.

Bunch of short sighted morons.
Yes, if you agree clearly it isn't stupid~
sheesh.
OTOH, you publicly display how ignorant you are about Capitalism and feudalism in your sig. So I guess I shouldn't be surprised by ignorant people thinking there opinion on the matters is valid.
Yes, Arizona is just like northern states. Be sure to base you opinion on that..Idiot.
It's about having more daylight in the evening then in the morning; which can be significant in the Northern states.
And contrary to your sheltered insignificant life, Most people don't get to pick the time they have to be at work.
Take this week to contemplate that there are other places and people in the world, and how actions can effect them.
Yes, it
's worth saving.
There, never ask it again.
What? What are you asking?
We have clones, why do we need a gene pool?
Well, one thing would be to clone someone without a brain, for parts.
Immunity, unless they stop being prostitutes, then they would get it.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1539443/
I couldn't find any link indicating anyone has trued to get copyright protection on their genes.
No.
Clones aren't you. They wouldn't belong to you, and they won't have the life experiences of you.
Have you ever asked why that is? hint: It's probably not the first reason that pops into your mind.
