According to TFA he didn't get arrested for teaching people how to beat a polygraph, he got done for telling people to conceal the fact that they had received such training when applying for government jobs:
Reminds me of the story about the way the NYPD handled mediums - it isn't illegal to be a medium, it's illegal to scam people by pretending to be one. The first question the undercoved cop would pose was "do you know why I came here?"
Well, if "polygraphs" worked the first question would be "have you received training to avoid polygraphs?
Since they don't work it should be the polygraph operator being arrested for fraud.
Well, one interesting thing we learned lately is that some element of what can only be US law enforcement felt the need to exploit a Firefox bug in order to deanonymize some Tor users.
Given that Tor was created by the ONI and is largely funded by the DOD this is all pretty strange.
he guy's Indian, and to your average dimwitted, racist TSA goon that's just another variety of "terr'ist sand-nigger." They're not even smart enough to be racist properly.
Could have been worse, he could have been a Czech Republican.
No you're not - you're going off the Daily Fail, El Reg and the Daily Torygraph. None of those is exactly a sane source to quote on AGW.
What the Met Office actualy said:
The latest decadal prediction suggests that global temperatures over the next five years are likely to be a little lower than predicted from the previous prediction issued in December 2011.
However, both versions are consistent in predicting that we will continue to see near-record levels of global temperatures in the next few years.
And I should add: huge kudos to the Independent for having the balls to stand up and keep reporting in the face of what appears to be a War on Journalism.
Bwahahaha. It seems the "Independent" got its information from the UK government in an attempt to smear Snowden and Greenwald.
The "recent slowdown recent slowdown in the pace of warming" is more accurately written as "the cessation of global warming since 1998." When AGW proponents make accurate but misleading claims, it's not a surprise when the rest of us look on in doubt.
That's funny, people kept telling me warming stopped in 1995. Why the change to 1998?
Fact: CO2 is actually a very small contributor to the "greenhouse effect" the main contributor being BY FAR water vapor.
True. But you may have noticed these large bodies of water on our planet - we call them oceans. The water vapour in the atmosphere is in equilibrium with the oceans. The only way to increase the water vapour in the atmosphere is to incrase the temperature. (Whoops!)
Moreover MOST of the CO2 come from NATURAL sources not human.
True. However 100% of the increase in the CO2 in the atmosphere is caused by man.
Fact: The skewed numerical models created to prove global warming through CO2 DO NOT WORK.
Your momma is fat.
Fact: It has been showed that changes in CO2 level in the past was followed by a corresponding change in temperatures with a lag of ~800 years. Therefore it's not a cause... it's a consequence !
Welcome to the wacky world of feedback - it's both.
Fact: In recent history, temperature did not follow CO2 level.
Of course not - there are other effets
Fact: Solar activity is much better correlated with temperature on earth.
Totaly untrue - solar activity has not risen as temperature has.

I'm so sorry you seem to be getting modded "funny" for this. It should be "insightful".
Why does slashdot think that "funny" isn't worth karma?
(And when can we turn in our karma for shiny prizes?)
Didn't bother reading the article, did you.
Having money problems? Are were you just born dumb?
Pause[d] and stopped mean the same thing. You're just trolling.
'When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, 'it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.'

http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/media/pdf/q/0/Paper2_recent_pause_in_global_warming.PDF does argue that global warming stopped, although in 2000, not 1998.
No it doesn't. The word "stopped" does not occur in that text.
The phrase used is "The recent pause in global surface temperature rise".

In fact it just keeps "stopping".
Anthropogenic global warming 'stopped' in 1997... and in 1996, 1995, 1982, 1981, 1980, 1979, 1978 and 1972 /
I hope you don't like grains, because you're going to be hard pressed to grow grasses there.
And, Kodack being kind of slow, I'd like to point out that no grass means no whisky.
There were more species, greater plant growth, and more bio diversity than at any other time in earths history.
Remarkably few human beings, though.
Huh?
He said:
Show me one piece of legislation introduced by any government which seeks to regulate methane emissions.
I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.
It doesn't rain where he lives so he is unable to undestand that the atmospheric water vapour is in equilibrium with the oceans.
(by the way Sparticus old chap this means that to reduce the green house effect due to water vapour you'll have to drain the oceans. Have fun).
What I don't understand about the debate is how 40% or so Americans believe this stuff. I think it is to look trendy or social or whatever.
The intellectual elites are trying to hide the decline in temperatures while keeping the real science out of peer reviewed journals on shady grounds.
Wake up people: the "scientists" are reporting what is going to get them more grant money!
The good news - only 60% of Americans are idiots like you.
Oh man you are so wrong.

The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.
Actually obesity is the defence against the peeders. No one wants the ugly fat child. Keep Em fat and safe people!
I find your lack of faith in the powers of perversiom.... troubling.
Proot Proot.
Damn, I seem to have put on a few pounds.
Actually no. The panels are all Chinese nowadays, 2-3 times cheaper, they even started a trade war with China over it.
Well, no. France tried to get the EU to start a trade war, the Germans refused.
Haha. Who are the surrender monkeys now?
Because Buddhists follow a non violent religion, and if they are true Buddhists they would not attack people
Ah, the no true Buddhist falacy.
You do realise that Christians, Moslems, Hindu, Scientologists.... all say exactlty the same thing?
Funny, that.
And if he had made a similar film targeting say Buddhists [...]
If he released it in Sri Lanka or Myanmar, probably.
Why does everyone think Buddhists are all nice people?
An AC who has obviously never read Private Eye...
Or the Grauniad.
Oh for fucks sake.
