  1. Re:A mini ice age? Really? on New Tool Allows Scientists To Annotate Media Coverage of Climate Change · · Score: 1

    Let's say it's a relatively small disruption, then only 1% of population dies off. That's not too bad? That's 70 million people. If you kill 70 people, you're a serial killer. If you kill 70 million people, you're a climate change denier.

    I would say more correctly, it makes you a human. It isn't only the deniers who use energy, everyone uses it. There is only so much that a single person can do, and no one is doing enough.

    --along with the reply by the author, the very first point of which was "I didn't get to write the headline; the headlines are written by the editor."

    I like that he points out as well that the headline was written before the article. This just sounds terrible, but is very likely just how the media industry works.

    So you think he committed perjury? Perhaps you should submit the proof you have, after all, lying to the election commission is a pretty serious offence.

    I wish I could be so poor.

  8. So few words to prove you are a partisan moron who can't read. I gave three sources in response to a request for better sources, and you are such a partisan that you won't even bother to refute any of them, just complain about the validity of a SINGLE source. Does a single source being "bad" taint all the sources? Is NBC not as good because they say the same thing?

    I would take someone who negotiates business contracts as his job over what we have now "I will not negotiate with the GOP, they're as bad as terrorists" every time there is a disagreement over implementation. Obama caused the budget crisis by refusing to negotiate. Obama caused the debt ceiling crisis by refusing to negotiate. But it is always convenient when you can blame the other side "if only they would do what I want!", but that isn't how politics works, it is all about negotiation which Trump is the king of.

  13. I quoted three sites. Just because one of them is partisan in your eyes changes nothing about what I was doing which was responding to this:

    [dailycaller.com]

    Stopped reading there.You clearly weren't even trying to build an argument, so arguing with you would be pointless.

    Which is why I provided three sources of information, one of which was Breitbart quoting another guy that said he had warned the EPA that their construction wouldn't hold. Why is it that you complain about Breitbart without even addressing the argument? Because you have no information to refute the article.

    I was also responding specifically to this:

    A river that turned a troubling shade of orange after toxic waste was accidentally released into it a week ago is “restoring itself,” the country’s top environmental official said Thursday.

    Hey apparently it's only when the government dumps toxins that nature can restore itself.

    with more sources for the quote, but I guess maybe the EPA chief didn't really say that, and NBC, daily caller, and LA times are all making it up.

    I am not at all (in case you somehow missed this) arguing anything. I am providing more citations because some AC moron thinks that it is ok to attack the source of the information, rather than the information which apparently was true.
