It might have something to do with the Russian human rights record. This is especially relevant to the subject of software security when dealing with a country where it is dangerous to be a journalist.
Agreed.
I have to go further than that and agree with her absolutely. Math and Science must pass a sufficient threshold to get things done. Knowing PI to the 125th digit is more mathy, but will probably not particularly help solving any problem. Knowing Partial Differential Equations probably would help in many instances, but when was the last time they came to use for you in programming? Many of us learn more and more about math and science because we love it; we love knowledge.
Engineers have to solve problems first and foremost. It's critical that an engineer have the skills to realize what the problems actually are. Perceiving the problems takes more than math and science.
Computer programmers are not paid to write computer programs; computer programmers are paid to solve problems. Many confuse the medium with the purpose. It just happens to be that computer programs are good at solving problems.
Of course, Obama has every right to make a recess appointment if those chuckleheads can't get their act together. Looks like the next recess long enough may be in April ( http://www.senate.gov/legislat... ). If they don't hold any hearings, they might not get a say at all as to the next Justice.
If not, then realize that there may be a correct level of regulations that is somewhere between all and none. More regulation may help us but much more than that may harm us.
And even if you do, you are bringing up a raft of unfounded assertions.
You are taking it on ~faith~ that the ecological systems are self correcting and very very stable against all shocks. You are taking it on ~faith~ that older temperature measurements are somehow inaccurate, and if they are inaccurate, you are going to assume they are merasuring cooler rather than hotter ( a rash assumption ).
The fossil records show that when huge events unfold, there is usually a mass dying off of old species and the introduction of new ones. So this will not be the end of life on earth, but it will likely be the end of the environment as we know it and a huge threat to the human species in general.
You have the following evidence against you :
* physical properties of gasses
* temperature measurements over time
* theoretical models are being tested that agree with available data and have harsh predictions
What you need in order to make your case :
* you have to show that old measurements are inaccurate and present a case more solid than "because they are old"
* you must develop theories to show how ecological systems reverse the effects of large changes.
* you have to explain away recent data as well, and explain away recent shifts in weather patterns.

That their own taxes pay for these things, and don't consider them "free".
It is a straw man to say those who want government programs want "free" things.
FUD FUD FUD!
They force lawmakers to take a stand and vote.
Is that what you mean by virtue signalling?
I can think of plenty of worse things.
It's not even the Pres.
It's the Senate; McConnell will never bring up bills that have the slightest odor of not helping big donors.
If we could convince billionaires that there is a way they can live forever.
Then the funding will magically appear.
China prefers predictability.
What makes you think the Russian's wouldn't try to buy both sides?
Fee Chechnya and Dagastan.
Arrest Putin, the Criminal responsible for plundering Russia!
So Mueller, a conservative Republican appointed by a conservative Republican, is somehow involved in conspiracies of the infowars credibility level.
Flynn's flipped and is tattling about all the naughty things that Trump & co have been up to.
Fee Chechnya and Dagastan.
Arrest Putin, the Criminal responsible for plundering Russia!
The DNC should also be investigated, sure, but Trump's money laundering is a pretty serious offense.
Booooga Boooga!
Free Chencnya and Dagastan?
Russia prefers chaos.
China prefers order.
He should have nothing to fear.
5 guilty pleas, 17 indictments of people close to Trump?
And arrest the criminal Putin.
I wonder if the Russian trolls get in trouble for talking to people that call for Chechnya to be free.
Some of those claiming to be antifa are counterfits.

If it were anyone else with this particular issue, you wouldn't give a flying fuck.
The bigger problem is voters not giving a damn about the legalized bribary which is the United States political system.
Perhaps you should be against specific regulations then?

Are you taking it on faith that not only are old temperature measurements wrong, they are wrong in the way that would support your point of view?
I think I can relate to your points and largely agree with them. Thanks for clarifying.
Are you advocating removing all regulations?
If not, then realize that there may be a correct level of regulations that is somewhere between all and none. More regulation may help us but much more than that may harm us.

Ha! Don't be silly. I doubt you even know what stoichiometry is.
