Dear AC Troll, of course you are a medical doctor and know what they are being taught, right?
Being a historian qualifies me to tell you that, since you clearly don't know history (study Rockefeller & Carnegie and their funding/destruction/rebuilding of US medical training), you don't know that doctors are not educated. They are trained. Trained to sell, promote and perpetuate the chemical industry that David and Dale have built and nothing else.
Good, don't do anything, you nitwit! The climate alarmists are getting extremely boring! Not a single one of their predictions have even remotely been correct and yet they continue on their politically motivated catastrophic-alarmist bandwagon.
Just don't dare tax me for your ill-conceived world-domination plans... Tax yourself and your warmist buddies.
If he breathes, he has broken a law and if he doesn't, then he broke it before he died. The legal quagmire in the US and elsewhere has become to ridiculous, everyone's a criminal. When I become president I'll scrap 80 of all laws and go back to common sense. Blooming politicians.
One doesn't need to understand the complete mathematical proof of Fermat's Last Theorem to understand that there is 1) a proof offered and 2) no-one has shown his proof to be incorrect and it is generally accepted. If there was a dissenting view and it was published, it would be up to anyone to read it and offer support or a rebuttal.
With Climate Science however there are many well qualified people that are pointing out errors, wrong assumptions and omissions in the IPCC stance and reports, as well as in the work of scientists. This is good and should be so. To claim however that the science is settled (it never is!), is disingenuous and deceptive and a certain political agenda has hijacked the process for their own nefarious purposes, regardless if one considers it to be a conspiracy or not. Anybody can point out a problem with a scientific theory, regardless of qualification. More-so, anyone can point to evidence not made public or receiving little media coverage. You don't have to be an expert to do that. A good example would be http://hockeyschtick.blogspot.... where it is reported that a qualified scientist has published his report:
The man-made share of CO2 in the atmosphere is only a maximum of 30% (0-30%). The remainder is related to temperature changes, natural outgassing from the oceans, and to soil moisture.
The residence time of CO2 in the atmosphere is only 4-7 years, not hundreds of years as falsely claimed by the IPCC Bern model.
Man-made CO2 emissions increased a whopping 350% faster since 2002, yet the rate of CO2 increase in the atmosphere remained steady at ~2.1 ppm/yr, a "strong indication that anthropogenic emissions can not have a significant or even dominant share."
His conclusion: "Because of the saturation effect in the energy absorption of CO2 molecules with increasing concentration and short residence time, the further increase in temperature could be therefore only at most a few tenths of a degree, if at all. However, the known fossil reserves would be exhausted by then."
Now, if you want to disprove what he says, your have to go do the science for the next 10 years. There is no point it shouting "denier" or "skeptic", unless you're a shill or just an idiot in general.
You can only be amused by the responses these articles attract.
Here are some facts that puts all of these comments into perspective.
1. 99.9% of Slashdot commenters are NOT Climate Scientists.
But most are literate and can evaluate material that they read critically.
2. Probably 90% don't even have education in areas remotely related to Climate Science.
Appeal to Authority is a fallacy. You don't have to be an "expert" to be able to evaluate written material.
3. 90% are the posts seem to cite Skeptical Science in order to prove their point.
And you're assuming without evaluation that all skeptical science is wrong and all non-skeptical science is not. Are you totally dense? There is no non-skeptical science. All science must be skeptical. Because some IPCC stooges are not, we have the problem we have!
4. Skeptical Science is run by a Cartoonist.
Eh, cartoonists are mostly very sharp en perceptive. Able to see aspects of a situation and portray that which many other don't see right away. Also, if you have only ever read one "skeptical" scientist, no wonder you're in the dark!
5. The.01% of Slashdot commenters that ARE qualified to offer a valid opinion...don't do so on Slashdot. (Unless Curry and Man have Slashdot accounts?)
Man? You mean Mann? That Mann that created Mann-made warming? He did some work, found something and built a hypothesis. Some non-skeptical scientist (Al Gore and his friends?) said it's the new Gospel. Others investigated further over time and found all is not kosher with his hypothesis. Mann also removed inconvenient truths about the earth's climate history...! Now he's acting more non-scientic in that he doesn't consider the new evidence, but rather refuses to even engage with his critics.
The bottom line is that...<snip>
... your poor language reflects your education or lack of it, since you are not able to express yourself in decent language and have to stoop to crude expletives in an attempt to be heard. It doesn't work.
There's no science denier as great as the one who it blinded by religious and political zeal in an attempt to change the fabric of the world to suit the New World Order agenda.
The difference between Java a good languages like Python or Ruby is huge. These guys have finally hit the nail on the head. Java is a huge fat fluffy monster that wastes a massive amount of code.
"We have been a victim of our success, and people don't realize how bad these diseases are," said Mississippi state epidemiologist, Dr. Thomas E. Dobbs III,
"We have been a victim of our success, and people don't realize how bad these diseases are for the pockets of the pharma gaints. Lifelong immunity against measles could kill our business!" said Mississippi state epidemiologist, Dr. Thomas E. Dobbs III,
Not really. Some very good scientists see through the shallowness of the warmists hype and histeria and have beem pointing it out for a long time. Seems the Judge doesn't know that the criticism it valid either. Then Phil Plait comes along with a gem like this (from the article):
“This attack on the reputations of scientists is nefarious; reputation is extremely important when it comes to a scientist’s career,” Plait wrote.
“Getting grants, invitations to talks, even being taken seriously, all can rest on the respect they get by other scientists and the public.”
Maybe he should consider accuracy, not "adjusting" data to suit the CAGW agenda, transparency and a few other good scientific traits which will fix the reputation thingie almost all by itself!
The matter is really simple. Children learn better when they want to than when they are forced to. Therefor homeschooling is the most sensible option for young children. You can always have the best tutor available when your child gets to 12 or 13 or even at a later stage. But you can never undo the lack of identity or character destruction that was imparted by public schooling and, what basically boils down to, parental neglect of a young child who totally believes in his parents and will develop optimally if allowed to in the the nurturing and lovling environment your wife will give.
What's this wailing again about measles again?? It is much better to get measles once and be immune for life than to be innoculated many times and risk the change of being poisoned by some nefarious substance in the vaccine!
I had measles as a child and have no fear whatsoever of the little disease. People are so dumb and uneducated these days. John Taylor Gatto is now proven correct more than ever.
Seriously, this case reveals much more about the brain-dead US legal system, the overreach by Federal authorities and the abuse of legal powers than it does anything else. There is no way that any sane person can justify 5 years in jail for linking to a stolen source in a forum.
The pathetic bunch that ran Stratfor lost it and someone needed to take the fall for it. If it was a mom and pop shop that couldn't have known better that was "burgled", it would have been a different story, but these guys were supposedly the security experts and were asking to be hacked by their behaviour.
However, Brown didn't hack them, he just reported?? This is like a bulldog that can't get to the postman, so he bites the fence out of frustration. Really really stupid.
I think you sorely overestimate the impact a few degrees can have on global climate
Thought I'd FTFY.
If you'd take the trouble to actually study the materials spewed forth my the IPCC and it's goons (people like Michael E. Mann, et al you know, the faux nobel laureates) and also read what the critics have to say, you'd soon see through the scam very clearly.
Except they're very specifically not invited. Heaven forbid that the US ever has a true multipatry democracy! The duopoly will never allow it willingly.
Strictly, this is recording only the fact of a conversation, rather than the content. It's "envelope information".
And you believe that? I suppose you also believe that your communication with Santa Claus is safe and unintercepted. Now, we know the Tooth Fairy is immune to interception, but not the other fairy tale creatures...
To believe that shadowy US government organisations that do things that are mostly invisible to the general public will stop at only looking at the mail envelope, rather than skimming the contents as well, is so crazy that I'd bet on meeting the Snowman in person as more likely.
A great number of devices (toasters, irons, kettles, blenders, etc are designed to break and not be fixable. Being a boomer, I hate this. I don't want to create landfill by disposing my old appliances and I'd rather attempt to fix them or have them fixed. However, they use convoluted screws, flimsy clips that break on disassembly and parts (like an LG washing machine we had) that cannot be be opened (the gearbox / clutch unit) and although you can buy a replacement, it costs more than a new machine.
So I've found a way around this. Before I buy anything these days, I make sure that it can be repaired even when out of warranty and that there's a local repair-shop or service agent close by. Surprise! The devices that fall into this category don't cost more, all one has to do is be more selective. I don't even look at AIM, Safeway, Premier and similar brands anymore. Even many Philips devices also fall into the "don't buy - cannot be repaired" category.
It's a choice to say no to the bastard companies that sell junk designed to break soon after the guarantee expires. If we all did that, it would be a better world. Wishful thinking... sigh.
second thought, maybe I can do this. the greater los angeles area is maybe 60 miles tall and 120 miles wide. 7200 square miles * 3 inches of rain = 0.35 cubic miles of water. that doesn't seem like much.
which is 385bn Gallons, so only 29 showers like that and the drought is all over...
I'm not a fan of regulatory capture (see my previous posts in this thread) but let us at least be balanced enough to acknowledge that there are legitimate concerns about Uber that need to be addressed by someone.
Well, then let Uber or whoever make a deal with insurers to fix this! This is not government's business. Unless you're a communist, if which case you would think it is...
O, for crying out load! Why do types like you insist on regulation people's choices? If I want to use Uber, then I and the driver should be able to negotiate a deal. If I don't want to go with the dude when he arrives, then I say no. If I like him and his car, I go. The government, city or anyone else has nothing to say or to do with this. As long as the driver is sober and has proven he can drive (has a license), then stop meddling! It due do all this "we'll think for you" mentality that people are becoming dumber and dumber!
Playing futurist only makes your look a bigger idiot that you already are.
On the other hand, you can blow hot air as much as you like, just don't attempt to tax us for it. If you want to go extinct, please do, but don't drag us into your scheme.

Tax? Are you nuts? Taxing fixes nothing, it just creates new problems!
Rather make is worth people's while to buy EV's. Give them a tax break if the do = reverse taxation. But don't tax!!

This is not hard. It only becomes hard if you have an agenda and try to make the data fit your agenda.
