Apparently you haven't noticed it because of the width of your plot, but there has been a very precipitous 1K drop in the temperatures anomalies over land and slightly less dramatic over the oceans in the temperatures form September to November; even the arctic temperature spike might be reducing.
Global land temperatures are dropping faster than a cheerleader's panties on Prom night. The significance of land temperatures is the land has less thermal inertia than oceans so changes are more apparent over land. What does it mean, firstly El Nino is over and La Nina is starting and secondly all of the "record high temps" that were mostly due to the El Nino lately will come to and end and possibly the Hiatus will return.
B) The reason for climate action today is not because it's going to affect us today. It's because every day of delay compounds the problem. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that you're the type of person who changes their oil regularly and sticks to the vehicle maintenance schedule, because ignoring things until they become critical is costly and stupid....
If there really and truly were a reasonable chance that a catastrophic anthropologically caused climate change was occurring, wouldn't the people studying the problem be advocating an effective reduction in CO2 emissions on a Global Scale? The European Union is Reducing Emission, The United States is Reducing Emissions, Russia is Reducing Emissions; do you know who isn't, China is Increasing Emissions and India is Increasing Emissions! Every day of delay compounds the problem, but we'll let 2.5 billion people Reducing Emission, when they feel like getting around to it.
Get back to me when "Climatologists" are argueing about what the second decimal point of Equilibrium Climate Sensitivity is, not the whole number portion. For Christ's sake even Hansen is dialing back the alarm level!
My DI called it an Assault Rifle one, actually he said "This is the M16A1 Assault Rifle" circa 1973, Drill Sergeant Billy Marten, same name as the Detroit Tiger's Manager.
Who happened to walk into a business and shoot because he was goaded on by GOP propaganda spread not just by random trolls, but party leaders. The Republican party has a real mess on its hands. This will not end well.
it wasn't the GOP that baited the bear;
“The whole idea from the start was to build a site that could kind of infiltrate the echo chambers of the alt-right, publish blatantly fictional stories and then be able to publicly denounce those stories and point out the fact that they were fiction,” Coler says.... Coler, a registered Democrat, says he has no regrets about his fake news empire. He doesn’t think fake news swayed the election. NPR Reporter Tracked Down a Fake-News Creator; Here’s What She Learned
Onion articles are at least original and creative, most of the "alt-right" and the left counter parts like "Occupy" whatever just cut and paste crap from other sites. I honestly believe that none of them are any more than clickbait, none of the publishers have any emotional investment in the espoused ideology and the only way to throttle them is to dry up their revenue stream.
There is at least a degree of plausability as Bill Clinton flew on Jeffrey Epstein's “Lolita Express” at least 26 times, ditching his Secret Service detail for at least five of the flights, Supposedly Hillary Clinton went 6 times and Donald Trump at least once; after all the best trolls have a basis in fact, a healthy dose of implication and exaggeration to make the lie more palatable.
Just be very sceptical of anything in religious texts, especially Old Testament texts, lots of oral history recorded into writing after centuries, translated by person of questionable scholarship, with probable political agendas, into numerous archaic languages. We can't even be sure we know what some terms meant back then; for example "Cursed be Canaan! A slave of slaves," implies that the word slave is more nuanced than our present meaning, to us a slave is an owned person who doesn't even own his own life.
An interesting take on it, when I was stationed in Germany, living in barracks that still had Wehrmacht eagles and swastikas over the doorways, there was considerable effort put into trivializing that whole period of history by the Germans I met. It seemed to me to be a type of denial then and still today. Perhaps if Germany had really come to grips with what happened, the Germans wouldn't have the Immigrant crisis they have today, there is a line between acceptance and self-flagellation.
Pretty sure slavery is only bad in Christianity when it's the Israelites who are the slaves. Genesis 9:20-27 MSG:
I forget where it's established that Ham and the Canaanites were black, but there you go. If you don't enslave blacks, you're against god. Don't tell me that's not what modern Christians believe because I know better. I've seen it myself.
Actually if you're serious about using Genesis as a justification for slavery (of Blacks), you should also be advised it would be equally applicable to all of the Abrahamic religions including Judaism and Islam, not just Christianity; other than just being wrong.
I've read Goldratt's "the Goal", I was quite impressed at how he could relate a complex and dry systems analysis technique to an eighth grade reading level that was more entertaining than a lot of fiction stories.
Awesome that you think so! Now, program some realtime flight surface control software for a fly-by-wire jet and sleep well knowing that your program will never, ever, kill anyone... (Or, substitute any other safety critical software you can think of - and theres a lot!)
"Programming" (by which I really mean software engineering) is one of the most complex activities in existence...
Just don't cross the International date line east to west
Nah, I've been programming longer than Knuth has, starting with machine language. You just need to think procedurally.
That's a major challenge for most people and the more abstract the procedure the more challenging. A lot of us here "just get it" because our brains are wired that way, if your brain isn't wired that way it's extremely difficult to learn.
I'm on a border town with Canada and Canadians are telling us of 6 to 8 week waits for a MRI test, in the US there are walk-in MRI centers. 6 month waits for heart catheterization in Canada, here it's often within 3 days after the lab tests are done. A British Office with the same name as our office is only seeing NHS patients one day a week. Sure you can find good deals and work out of country, 25% of US UCR for dental is still pretty high-end in Mexico. India is well know for Healthcare-tourism, China is as well.
I keep hearing about how bad the American heath system is, yet I keep seeing People coming here to have procedures done that they can't get back home in a timely fashion or at all.

That's not a Death Squad, It's a Resource Allocation Panel; they use the same thing at the VA where people die with maggots in their wounds.

I always suspected these guys were a combination of sleezy porn pedaller and predatory mortgage banker, your link just confirms it.

I've seen what happens when Doctors get computers, it's not pretty, but at least you can read the prescriptions.
