Worst case scenario. You can't trust 'the papers' anymore, so you can't trust any paper, even if it claims to have been peer reviewed.
So until all 'peer reviews' have been reviewed, we have to fear the worst.
Climate models are huge and complex...
And their alarming 'predictions' can't be trusted because they span a parameter space that they've not been (*cough..) 'calibrated' in.
Modeling is nice, but models by definition don't describe reality. Let alone an unknown one.
If you'd read just a tiny little bit about geopolitics then you'd know also how these things work.
Wars aren't started 'to help a people', or 'to spread democracy', or 'to save people from a rude dictator'.
That's only PR and propaganda in order to gain support from the people for a war that only serves the rich in becoming even more rich by fighting for a 400 billion gas reserve between Iran and Qatar. Who ever wins the pipeline (through Syria) wins.
That's the only (plus a few more) reason why 'Assad has to go'. Because he said "no" to Qatar but "yes" to Iran.
The US wants to get rid of the Assad clan already since the sixties, but now they have some financial backers that actually are willing to pay for the war.
Who do you think bought all those Toyotas for ISIS?
The only war Assad is involved in is the war forced upon him by Qatar, Saudi Arabia, NATO, Israel.
And then no war crimes have been proven.
North Korea is not threatening to nuke the US, the US is constantly threatening NK with war. Of course they need nuclear weapons--plus the power talk--to defend themselves. NK has repeatedly offered peace negotiations to the US and SK, only to be shunned by the US, who want a nice place to fight their next military-industrial complex supporting proxy war in Asia.
If NK hasn't any nukes, they will go the same way as Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and soon Syria.
The West is destroying the countries of the East that don't have a Western-based central bank... oh, oops, did I really say that?
I know exactly who are the war criminals here.
...stand by while Russia annexes the Baltics, Poland and whoever else...
Are you serious? Let me explain why Russia effectuated it's decades old right to military presence in Crimea. It's because NATO wanted to irritate and threaten Russia just a tad more by incorporating Ukraine in the EU and NATO. However, the democratically chosen government of Ukraine choose for Russia. This irritated the Americans... err peace loving Europeans so much that they let Soros 'invest' half a bilion $ in a fascist revolution while killing some people in the process, and leading to a puppet (Yats) government which of course chose for a pact with the NATO..., err... Europe.
Russia's only military port in the Baltics, Crimea, was at stake but was saved because the majority of its inhabitants opted for secession to Russia.
I don't know about you (well, actually I have quite an idea), but how do you think this is a 'Russian annexation'?
Do you ever read something else than the WSJ?
Make no mistake [duh] - the United States is by far the most dangerous enemy to have...
Yeah, maybe, but the most destructive agressor too. Swallow that with your pride and morally deceived hubris.
Knowing the twisted minds of marketing managers they will only put the cheapest of the cheapest useless vitamins in it.
They won't spend as much, and they can claim it's healthy.
The places where this is needed will have a really hard time getting much value from it.
Actually it has been tweaked to work in the dessert where relative humidity is about 21%.
I don't know whether or not you consider this a 'place where this is needed', but I do.
So, I have a furniture shop but no truck to deliver them to my clients.
My neighbor also runs a furniture shop and is competing with me. However, he does have a truck.
So I want him to bring the furniture my clients bought from me to their homes.
Does that sound reasonable in any way?:)
Bitcoins are totally traceable through the blockchain.
If you buy them from an exchange, they are coupled to your name, until they get transferred to your payee, from where the coin can be tracked further.
Try that with cash...
cheques are for losers...
I mean, who in this day and age should be forced to receive a physical cheque, go to a physical bank, fall in line, fill out the paperwork, and then wait in line for his own money!
In Europe they do it much better, quicker and more efficiently: Just transfer the money to payee's bank account. In a flick. No charges. Europe-wide.

Cancer and climate 'science' have a thing in common: There's a lot of money involved.
... you can simply make a competing model ...
He'd never get the funding for that...

Its also good to point out that the fraud was in the review process, not the work itself.
So it turned out the papers weren't really peer reviewed at all.
So much for science then. Good they were retracted.
Well then, if I see the size of the fans on this aircraft, I wonder whether it would indeed be able to carry a person, on top of the battery.
The exception being that Volkswagen isn't a US company.
Not properly certified yet to fly people maybe?
Flying it in the mean time as 'drone' is much easier.

At least it's something that keeps you off the street.
It's FriendlyElec...!
Coz big guv wants to know what you're doing?
Why don't you just disable wifi in the settings.
Then this article at least got the title right, but makes the same error in the first sentence already.
Typical case of copying from an article somebody else wrote, like this one.
Awesome post!

80% humidity can hardly be called a dessert-like region.
But ok, how much would an air conditioner produce at 20% humidity?
Yeah, imagine how much kg of copper one would need for 1 acre of, let's say, corn.

Wrong. Look-up the words 'cartel', 'monopoly' and 'mafia'.
