    You don't believe in AGW because someone on slashdot was impolite in a comment? Which proves the whole thing is a scam to any "rational" person?

    Try this. People who think the world is flat are fuckfaces. Does that imply that the round-earth idea is a scam?

    Sorry, your logic doesn't fly. Let's try it this way, people who support AGW only because government funding tells them to support it. With the fact that they use this heavy funding to silence dissenting points of view. They also use said funding as a political method to stifle dissenting points of view.

    One of the main impacts of climate change would be an increase in extreme weather, so not entirely surprising such things would be claimed.

    Except I didn't say extreme, nor do they generally in the media. In fact they were screaming "extreme weather" when we had the cold-snap here in Canada. On the other hand, that was normal winter weather according to the historical data. So...which is it?

    I've noticed that every time somewhere in the US or Europe experiences a bit of cold weather for the season, comments sections all around the internet are filled with people proclaiming this proves climate change is a fraud.

    Media and various "scientific literates: "
    Weather was warm - global warming
    Weather cold - global warming
    We had tornado's - global warming
    A hurricane hit the NE coast - global warming
    Drought in central US - global warming
    Forest fires in Canada - global warming
    Unseasonably warm spring - global warming
    Unseasonably wet spring - global warming
    Unseasonably cold spring - global warming
    Regular spring - global warming
    Snowfall in October - global warming
    Blizzard in December - global warming
    Water in reservoirs low - global warming
    Water high in reservoirs - global warming
    Higher than average cloud cover - global warming
    War in the middle east - global warming
    War in Balkans - global warming

    In the end, global warming causes everything.

    They aren't "fudging" numbers. This is climate data, it's HARD to deal with.

    Then perhaps you can explain why they're adjusting historical temperature data, while claiming that it's "functionally bad or maladjusted" even though those same instruments are in use today, and are considered the gold standard for measurements.

    Talk to me agitation when you've read the IPCC report. I won't debate with John Regurgibots.

    In other news, this is why people don't believe in AGW. Because every time that a proponent of it comes into contact with something that disagrees with their tidy view of the world, the first thing they do is lash out. And in the minds of a rational person, this simply screams "scam."

    So, please continue supporting the scam.

    Not off the top of my head, but I do remember Brazil, and Germany making some changes. Canada is doing something similar via pipeda this as well Where the law doesn't cover it, companies are doing it on their own including avoiding routing through the US. For online in Canada see openmedia's bit. Individual ISP's as well have been replying on what they give/send/comply/refuse to do, this is Teksavvy's response.

    Considering the insanity that people have over guns, that's exactly what people have tried to do. Charging gun manufactures as an accomplice. I've also see cases with it with regards to hit and runs where an individual has died. If people are willing to go full-on-stupid for one thing, what stops them from doing it in another case?

    Right. People are hypocritical to an extreme, and it falls to "whatever fits their agenda."

    Sorry nope, and it doesn't seem to apply to children without vaccinations. Then again, pseudoscience does seem to apply to the parents of those who believe in the anti-vaxxer movement. How else can it be so, especially when they believe in debunked studies that were created by an ambulance chaser.

    AGW has been proclaiming this for years, but the variation has been minimal contrasted against historical records. It's the theories that proclaim that "doom has come."

    We've got so many polar bears in Canada and they're so aggressive and territorial that several times the government has considered culls to keep them and other animals from becoming depopulated.

Paranormal crap is even bigger business in Asia and Africa than it is in the US, pseudoscience outshines the US in many Asian nations, and autism by vaccines is pretty much equal universally across this rock(I take this as a fair point that no matter how smart someone claims to be, stupidity is a universal trait).

    "Upto" is the key wording. Remember this is the key point in case law, especially for setting abuse precedents. And it's sure not going to cause small companies to fold left and right. If it does, the business is already doing something wrong, and thriving off of bulk spam in the first place. What this is, is an extension of the DNC, and since we're moving in a direction of tossing mail to the wind--especially with companies now charging between $1 to $8 for a bill to be physically mailed, I'm sure you can see where there is a problem.

    But let's be realistic, if Canadapost can operate Purolator with a massive positive income, where are they going wrong at operating their letter carrier service. If anything, their latest stunt of pushing people to corner-boxes and no home delivery is what's simply going to kill them faster.
