Constitutional protections only apply to people on U.S. soil.
That would be mostly NO, most of our "Constitutional Rights" are natural rights the Government is specifically prohibited from infringing.
That was the whole point of putting a prison in Guantanamo - it was Cuban soil, not U.S., and thus the prisoners wouldn't have U.S. Constitutional protection.
That's what hey said but it was mostly to make access to the detainees difficult.
as opposed to leaving it to states where everyone from the cops to the judges to the juries were inclined to let the "good ol' boys" that burned black churches to the ground lynched some poor black fellow looking at a white women get away with it.
now just substitute "Coptic Christians" for "blacks in the southern states", "Muslims" for "good ol' boys" and "predominately Muslim Countries" for "sates"
as opposed to leaving it to "predominately Muslim Countries" where everyone from the cops to the judges to the juries were inclined to let the "Muslims" that burned Coptic Christians churches to the ground and lynched some poor Coptic Christians fellows.
The first ban did have a problem in the exception it provided for persecuted religious minorities from those nations made it a defacto ban on the religion from those countries.
So if the Muslims commit Genocide against an ethnic minority who are predominately Coptic Christians, we can't help them because they have a religion?
Modular can mean anything from a double-wide to a two story colonial set on permanent foundations. Now are the really cheaper, mine came in $20,00 a square foot less than my neighbors and would have been even more if the inspectors hadn't been screwing us at every opportunity. They also go up faster, but not as fast as you would imagine. Electrical is a matter of plugging in connector and it's fast, plumbing takes as long or longer than stick built and the 80/20 rule still applies, the last 205 of the work takes 80% of the time.
It totally makes sense that as the ice is reduced and thins, it will break apart more and start moving around.>
Barber and the scientists were still on the Amundsen, the ice breaker was tasked with rescuing fishers on four fishing vessels from La Scie Harbour that were stuck in sea ice off Newfoundland's Baie Verte Peninsula.
In an analysis done by the English physicist David McKay, he goes into some detail about how the US is one of a very few countries where solar and wind could provide 100% it its energy needs keeping the current standard of living. This is based purely on available energy in the environment and ignores everything else.
Feel free to point out errors in the analysis.
Does he mean ignoring things like chopping up endangered species of birds and bats, destroying delicate desert habitats and such?
If you're going to blame somebody Oil wars in the middle east, that should be British Petroleum and their 1953 Iranian coup d'état also called Operation Boot.
Wind and solar have already become cheaper than coal and gas without subsidies. Renewables have already won.
Then why are we seeing things like this?
“TransAlta is very interested in repowering this site. Unfortunately, right now, it’s not economically feasible,... We’re anxiously waiting to see what incentives might come from our new government. . . . Alberta is an open market and the wholesale price when it’s windy is quite low, so there’s just not the return on investment in today’s situation. So, if there is an incentive, we’d jump all over that” Wayne Oliver, operations supervisor for TransAlta’s wind operations in Pincher Creek and Fort Macleod, Oldest commercial wind farm in Canada headed for scrapyard after 23 years
We see it because wind energy is so cheap they can't make a profit, and cover depreciation and replacement costs at he same time!
In short renewable energy isn't economically sustainable.
The way it usually works is the Farmer or Crop Production Services company sprays the field with glyphosate, which kills everything, especially the weeds. 2 weeks later the land is tilled, just enough to plant, then the field is planted. After about 2 weeks the crop had germinated, and they spray the field with a Pre-emergent herbicide so any weed seed that have not germinated are prevented from germinating; leaving the field almost weed free until after harvest.. Now little Suzie can eat without going into anaphylaxis due to being allergic to weeds in her food.
Now for the heresy, weeds are usually good for a garden, their roots instinctively go deep, breaking through hard-pan that crop plants can't and they draw up minerals and moisture from deeper in the ground. Let them grow until just before they flower and cut them down and leave them residue on the ground as mulch.
CO2 is a global problem, not a city problem. There is no reason to locate CO2 consuming moss in any particular location, so it should be where it grows best, which is likely not downtown. This is obvious public "art" to make a statement, and not a serious attempt to mitigate AGW. Anyway, it does look cool.
This is just some slick Grifters trying to suck up some U$25,000.00 from the City rubes to grow some moss. That shit grows all over the place out in the forests, only some stupid assed City-boys would fall for a con job like that!
" If evaporation could drive warming the way CO2 does, we'd be looking at a runaway positive feedback loop that would end with the oceans boiling away."
It can and the shift in temperature from current isn't particularly difficult to achieve.
There are very real fears amongst climate scientists that a 7C global average change could trigger a venus runaway.
The partial pressure of CO2 on Venus is 8.87 MPa, on Earth the partial pressure of CO2 is 40Pa or 1/500,000th of Venus! Any talk of Earth approaching Venus temperature wise due to CO2 is just crazy talk.
Your supposed Scientists may have real fears, but being a Scientist and having a psychological pathology aren't mutually exclusive; having a real fear isn't necessarily having a rational fear.
Alright, time to drive a stake through the heart of this brain-dead water vapor meme.
There's one important fact about water which you are overlooking: it is wet.
No water vapor is a gas, it is invisible (Unless your able to see infrared), it is dry and since it's molecular weight is 18.01528 g/mol and molecular weight of dry air is around 29 g/mol, it is lighter than air and carries its 40.8 kJ/mol. latent heat of e vaporization
That is to say it can exist as a liquid (or a solid) at normal atmospheric temperatures and pressures. This means it can't diffuse throughout the entire troposphere like CO2 can before it exits the atmosphere as rain, snow, or dew.
And this is a good thing, because water is a potent greenhouse gas and all things being equal higher temperatures means more evaporation. If evaporation could drive warming the way CO2 does, we'd be looking at a runaway positive feedback loop that would end with the oceans boiling away.
CO2 which has a molecular weight of 44.01 g/mol, which is considerably heavier than air at 29 g/mol, tends to pool at lower altitudes allowing water vapor to carry heat above the CO2 before condensing out water into clouds and releasing the heat.
Still, water doesplay a key role in anthropogenic climate change models. That's because CO2 can increase water evaporation in a global way that water vapor itself cannot. Water vapor basically doubles the impact of anthropogenic CO2.
If CO2 increases water evaporation in a global way then humidity would have increased, which hasn't happened.
I think water vapor is excluded because its effects are transient as the amount of water vapor itself fluctuates a lot.
I think they exclude the Primary Greenhouse Gas for planet Earth, because it is entirely natural and uncontrollable by the Globalists who are trying to use the "White Man's Burden" to shame us into giving the UN Green Fund a U$ 100 Billion a year.
We sat on the tarmac for 8 hours waiting for the windshield to be replaced and cure, it kind of sucked, but not as bad as have a windshield shatter at 550 MPH and 35,000 feet.
China is not only taking over leadership of the world, they are demanding you peasants pay tribute by hamstringing your economies with CO2 reductions while they are completely unrestrained!
When Kim Jong-un can work with other nations better than your President, that is a problem.
Yes it is a problem, and trust me it has been noted. When Germany leads you down the path to WW III, The US will be much less inclined to rebuild your sorry asses as we were last time.
The last thing of note that NATO did was to remove a ruthless secular dictator and replace him with several ruthless theocratic would-be dictators trying to out do each other.
The notion of listening to "international courts" is a slippery slope. Is some 3rd world country going to sue for one hundred trillion dollars and get it - maybe. Politics can drive such absurdities. However I think much of the US will say come and try and take it.
I agree, One needs to be careful when the cost of your existence far exceeds the cost of your elimination. I've often wondered why patent trolls don't end up in body bags.
Clinton is the most corrupt person to have ever ran for president, and probably the only person who is a bigger narcissist than Trump. Sanders is too socialist to be elected and was totally eviscerated by his own party. Likewise Stein is too socialist to be elected, but to her credit she's unapologeticly socialist. Johnson might have been interesting if he laid off the pot enough to sound like he wasn't a total High-on. That pretty much leaves us with Trump.
All Trump is managing to do is alienate our allies. If he is dismantling anything it is America. The rest of the world, which is 96 % of the world's population will go on without us if necessary.
1. It doesn't matter what the US does to reduce it's CO2 emissions as long as China increases twice as much as we reduce. 2. The US is reducing it's CO2 emissions and we're on a continuing downward trend even without the Self-flagellation the Paris Discord would require of us. 3. The Paris Discord has no verification process, so at best it'll be a lier's club. 4. Most of the "Allies" we are managing to do is alienate, have been alienating us pretty well over the last few decades. 5. If the rest of the world thinks it can go on without the U$ 100 Billion a year to the UN Green Climate Fund, then have at it.I see no reason to fund African Dictator’s pensions anyway. 6. At best the Paris Discord would have stopped the average global temp from going up 0.2K and that would have mostly been due to decreased night time cooling, not increased day time warming. Measurement error is bigger than 0.2K!
... he can just withdraw from the Paris Agreement, which is a process that takes four years (a rule introduced immediately after Trump was elected but before he actually became POTUS),.
What rule could make withdrawal take 4 years? Was there a secret treaty ratified by the Senate we don't know about?

No that Wind and Solar is 10% generated, so solar is 2% * 15% = 0.3% of the Total US energy Consumption
