fear Limbaugh? no one fears Limbaugh even Limbaugh knows he's a joke.
he's in on the joke. he is full self aware that he's long ago descended into the realm of self parody.
he just doesn't give a fuck because idiots like you keep making his schtick profitable.
leftists tried to use the court system....aka law enforcement who enforced the laws against prescription drug abuse...and since when did conservatives stop caring about law enforcement? idiot
Reality has no bias, but it very much appears biased, because one entire side of the political spectrum (the Right) has abandoned it altogether and only exists inside a fantasy world where: - the US is the only nation that matters, and Europe, Canada, and Australia either doesn't exist, or are considered to be socialist hellholes, even though they live longer, safer lives, with less violence, less poverty, more education, more freedom, less debt, better healthcare - all the worlds scientists are engaged in a global conspiracy to force evolution and global warming, and other lies of satan upon the world - the only knowledge worth having, be it political and economic theory, social studies, science, or philosophy, comes from the Bible - more guns = more safety, even though the rest of the world has already patently disproved that notion many times over - immigrants are evil people intent on killing us in our sleep, even though they actually commit crimes at a lower rate than the native population - terrorist threats are imminent, terrorist = muslims, and the president is a secret member - the entire constitution only applies to Christians, everyone else is SOL - the "war on poverty" is a lost cause, even though history clearly shows that social programs (aka welfare) have reduced it and improved the quality of life of society's weakest members, and in other nations that have gone even farther than we have, have even lower rates of poverty - trickle down economics works - Obama/Clinton are felons, somehow, because 4 people died Libya, even though countless investigations by the very people blaming them continually fail to find them at actual fault, and also somehow Bush/Cheney are completely blameless for all that they did - we somehow can't afford to take care of troops when they come home, but we can spend 1000x that amount on going to war in the first place
The list goes on and on and on. So yes, reality effectively does have a bias, in the sense that only one side actually lives in and acknowledges it.
except this wasn't "investigation and interrogation by typical American law enforcement".
it was torture. conducted by the CIA, and/or foreign proxies, such as the extraordinary rendition (re: kidnapping) of ~3000 persons, some US citizens, some citizens of US allies, several of whom were cases of mistaken identity, yet tortured for months before being released without apology or acknowledgement of wrong doing.
it was torture. cut and dry. you should take your own advice about dealing in facts, but your post history and reputation show that doesn't really interest you.
unless of course you're being held by US authorities in Gitmo, or been extraordinarily renditioned to Afghanistan, Syria, Egypt, or another fantastic vacation locale.
so your stance is "since they're going to do it anyway, why not make a buck in it, and btw, you cant hold me responsible for what they did, even though I enabled it"
your grasp of science is weak. no, volcanoes don't emit more than people. no, it doesn't explain it all. no, you haven't miraculously discovered the mechanism not seen by the entirety of the world's scientists.
Average yearly CO2 output from all volcanoes worldwide: ~300 million tons. Average yearly CO2 output from all of humanity: 40+ billion tons.
Rest easy good sir. Volcanoes are already a known factor. And they are not significant.
Average yearly CO2 output from all volcanoes worldwide: ~300 million tons. Average yearly CO2 output from all of humanity: 40+ billion tons.
In fact, because the overwhelming majority of what volcanoes release is ash and other particulate matter, in far greater quantities than the CO2 they release or cause to be releases through combustion, the effect of volcanoes on climate is actually a cooling effect rather than a warming one.
ah, my mod stalker strikes again. this is neither flamebait nor trolling but cold hard fact: the exemption from overtime for salaried workers is set far far too low, so low as to be meaningless.
There's nothing wrong with that statement. you're using a personal anecdote to refute an engineering analysis based on nationwide averages.
the analysis has been done. we know how much energy humanity uses. we know how much area with today's panels it would take to generate that much energy. we know many different ways of finding that much area.
such as installing on every residential structure in the US. that alone with panels would create more energy than the entire planet uses. add in commercial and you double it. Just from installing in the US.
We have the capacity. We have the capability. What we lack is distribution (smart grid) and actual sufficient installations. Both of those are easily solvable.
This isnt pie in the sky dreaming, but actually possible in our lifetimes. the only thing lacking is will.
the salary overtime cap is another part of the economic engine that created the prosperous US economy. but when they stopped raising it, it became part of the process by which the middle class began to shrink. in many ways it is to the middle class what minimum wage is to low income workers. it ensures either healthy work schedule, or just compensation....but being stuck at a paltry 23660k/yr , it's essentially meaningless right now.
bingo. the money for consumption is gone because wages have been flat for 40 years, ever since wages decoupled from productivity. if they had kept pace the median salary today would be ~150k/yr instead of 52k.
hiatus = pause in this context, means no warming. surface temps showed slow (but not none!) warming. if you graphed the RATE OF CHANGE, it appeared to flatten out recently. but note, that because this is a rate of change (akin to a derivative 9in calculus), because it's non-zero, even flatted out meant it was still warming.
but even accepting the slowdown was apparent....it wasnt real. surface temps are incapable, by definition, of tracking subsurface ocean temperatures and therefore cannot spot the energy being absorbed by the oceans, which is what was happening.
so what you're saying is not only do you not know how to use google, but you dont understand math either. hint: the years with the highest departure from average are the same as the hottest years
You could have shown an ounce of intelligence and tried clicking the link in the summary ( http://icons.wxug.com/hurrican... ). Of course that assumes you know how to read a chart.
So let me help you: See the tallest red lines? Those are the biggest years. Find the 10 tallest, and there's your list. Now repeat for the blue ones.
also note that what he states is This makes 2015 the third warmest year globally (+0.27 deg C) in the satellite record (since 1979).
this is not at all contradictory or mutually exclusive. the flaws or inadequacies of the satellite data are well known, and its completely possible to be only 3rd warmest in one flawed data set, and warmest in another more complete dataset.
But congratulations on mastering how to lie with statistics 101 and moving onto 102 methods. That's progress, albeit not the kind honest people like to see.
2015 is virtually certain to beat 2014's record as the planet's warmest year since record keeping began in 1880
Not according to satellite data cherry picked and misrepresented by well known serial climate liar Roy Spencer
FTFY. Plus, unless you just have no clue how to read a chart, the chart at your link clearly does show warming. which is probably the rest of the climate science community stopped taking Roy Spencer seriously a long time ago.

I'm afraid I've got some bad news.
It's a terminal case of acute ODS.
because will never ever go back up in price.
wouldn't be the first time a concept was discovered and not exploited in an application for years, sometimes decades.

race baiting: phrase used by conservatives when someone admits black people not only exist in the US, but are at a systemic disadvantage

ergo: there was no hiatus.
This is called Sealioning.

it's a form of trolling, marked by asking basic, inane questions readers would be expected to already know hte answer to.
for example: no its not solar activity.
solar activity is on a downward trend and has been.
no the kockey stick is not debunked.
no you didnt say anything factual.
so what you're saying is not only do you not know how to use google, but you dont understand math either.
