  1. you may not be sure.
    but the scientists are.
    and its their opinion that counts.

  2. the answer is both, unless you lack the capacity for rational thought.

  3. And if its been drier than normal, or warmer than normal....that has no impact on the fires?
    Think fool.

  4. So...shifting weather patterns that increase the intensity or length of the dry season....has no impact on the fires when they occur?

    what moron modded you insightful?

    none of those disprove global warming unless you're a fool who doesn't understand that a complex atmospheric science calculated on supercomputers can easily produce separate and contradictory results at the same time that do not disprove each other, and as such is difficult to reduce to a simple A therefore B formula.

    no wouldn't, no more than you need a car load of batteries to move a car.
    and quit pretending electric tractors don't already exist.

    and there's plenty of room for electric in the heavy machinery world too, where most of the vehicles don't use the engine to move, but rather to pressurize a hydraulic system which does the actual work of moving the wheels/treads.

    no they are not.
    that war exists because asshat Assad began bombing his own people when they demanded more democratic political reforms.
    no part of that involved hillary or obama.

    Actually, it is the Government working in collusion with the two parties to rig the system.

    Imagine every primary there were no "D" and no "R" after peoples names, and you got to vote for anyone you wanted. The Primary would be for choosing the top 2 candidates from the entire candidate pool. Tell me, by what legal means does the Government have in helping parties choose their candidate. When you can answer that, you'll understand that the system is rigged at the highest levels, and why candidates suck.

    JFC you are ignorant.
    parties arise naturally, and in a FPTP system it WILL devolve into 2 parties.
    no rigging, no collusion required.

    Also, you don't have the right to deny your child the chance to be healthy and not suffer preventable diseases for any reason

    libertarians believe you do.

    many take the position that the parent has zero responsibilities regarding their children, that its the children's' own job to take care of themselves, and the state has zero right to force them to care for their own children.

    a few even advocate for the parental right to sell their children into slavery as well.

    we have a large combat veteran force leaving the military right now.
    a common place of employment following their service is the police.
    unfortunately some of these individuals forget to leave that warrior mindset behind.

    and that's how we get police officers who describe themselves as warriors, or complain about being expected to be guardians and not warriors.
    not making that up, I've heard that from actual vets turned police.

    ultimately I see this as another consequence of not teaching basic civics anymore.

    I submit that is the in the enablers who are the worst part of the situation.

    there are always bad apples, yes.
    but what allows the bad apples to taint the barrel of apples is the enablers who say nothing or who pressure each other when someone does dare too have some integrity and say something. that's what enables the toxic culture to set in, what allows a whole department to go bad and lose the trust of the public.

  22. firstly, you should read the article before commenting.

    "there is no island of trash in the pacific" != "there is no concentrated area of garbage in the pacific"

    No, it's not an island of trash, and yes the name may be a bit fanciful.

    But the natural currents of the ocean do create areas where floating garbage does congregate in far higher concentrations than in the rest of the ocean.
    Specifically the major ocean gyres, of which there are 5 world wide, each become collecting points where this garbage accumulates.
    There are additional gyres (because much like the atmosphere the ocean currents are basically a collecting of interacting/interconnected vortexes), that also collect garbage, though the others are less robust than the big 5.
