    that's nonsense.

    Anyways, the courts screwed us all when they became the ones to be the final choice. There should have been a second vote. There was more then enough proof of tampering and discrimination.

    I would rather someone I didn't want to win, win in a clear victory then someone I want to win win under suspicious circumstances.
    The integrity of the system is far more important then who happens to win an election.

    No, don't vote libertarian . Not becasue ti throws away your vote, but becasue their economic ideology has been shown not to work. Unless you feel people should get shit on and corporation should do what every they want.
    IN that case, yeah vote for more robber barons and pollution.

    "Watts published an entire paper on siting problems for temperature recording stations."
    which were dealt with. And when you move what he considers problems the data still holds. SO that argument is dead. so shut up unless you have actual new data.
    Next:
    "geologic time scale"
    what you, and everyone else with argument from 1970 seem to fail to realize is that we are not talking about warming at a geological scale. We are talking about a much FASTER warming. This isn't thousands of years, its 100-200 years.

    Oh, and becasue you didn't see the memo* the change is ON TOP OF normal cycles. Not in liue of, on top of. SO we can see the normal cycle, and the see warming on top of it. When the cycle is 'cooling' we don't return to previous temperature. What happens is about increase slows, and sometime goes flat, but doesn't return to the previous cooler temperature.

    I used to believe in public discourse in scientific matter. Now I see all that does is cause people to spread lies and disinformation when the science is counter to there money making . Anti-vaxers, anti-fluoride, climate denialists,.. gah. SO any ignorant people sure they are correct in their ignorance. The n given a platform to speak there ignorance.

    I think that we should go back into ivory towers.. preferable ivory tower with guns mounted on them. Even better: an education system the teaches critical thinking and science. Barring that, towers with guns. And rest assured the guns design by science will be far superior then any one else's guns.

    " I don't think anyone can definitively prove anything one way or the other yet. "
    That's nice, but you're wrong.

    Ice core samples are a direct measurement, so..I'm not sure what you are talking about, but i am sure you don't know what the fuck you are talking about .

    Clearly you aren't in the industry... or any industry where this would be used.

    It's also cheap, so get 2.
    In warehouse and logistics, there is a need for something to sort bins, and there are case where this would work far better then people. Those are often uses where you can't be moving at a high rate of speed because you will damage the goods.
