We aren't even nearly as warm as we've been in the past via the flora and fauna record and we've stalled for the past 6 years, actually cooled the last couple of years, which no models predicted. It's theory, not fact because there are holes that can't be explained in the theory. Societies have grown and collapsed due to climate change in the past so what we need to focus on is dealing with climate variation. Check out the snow pack in the Colorado Rockies right now, runoff hasn't even taken off yet due to cold and snow, it is just starting to build now, in late May. Arapahoe Basin ski area is still open with a 73" base. It stays open until early May through early June usually but might even make it to July 4th this year like it did in 2011 when the base was in the 90" range in May. So twice in four years the snow pack is well above median and average.
I do understand what it is. It is a right and a privilege. I have the freedom to use this site. I don't have a firewall blocking me. The gestapo will not take me in the night for using it. The black helicopters are coming for you.
The US is more capable but we have a long history of voting out that which we don't like. So is your day to day life really changing? Black helicopters. Black suited men at the hipster coffee shop checking you out?
The very computer you are typing on would not exist if not for capitalism. Profit drives all and makes us better off. Resources are finite and those that work for them will get them. Being tired at the end of the day doesn't make you a hard worker.
That doesn't make it right. I'd rather live in the US with our freedoms and if there are people living here that really find it so oppresive they should take every opportunity afforded them to move to some other utopia. I'm a libertarian and while I find our government too big and overreaching, at the end of the day I'm not denied my life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.
It is their product, they've given plenty of notice. It is the fault of those still using the unsupported product if they have an issue related to its fitness for use.

Extinction comes from not being able to adapt to change, and we need to focus on that. We can't stop the change.

It is stuff like this that bums me out, not the fact that we are so young on this planet that we are surprised that climate isn't stable.
When does observation become spying?
You assume they are different? If I'm spying on you I'm observing you. Spying is just covert observation.

It does seem that there are cultures out there that like that kind of rule.

Russia will give us Internet pharmacy's and ugly porn.

About as good as yourself.
I'm not drawing attention to him, I'm making a statement on attention being drawn to him, asking Slashdot if they can just ignore him.
Enjoy your slide back in to totalitarianism.
RMS isn't Linux, that's Linus.
You're background noise, like RMS.
I just love condescension.
How so?
I think you'd do much better.
I'm using my freedom of speech.
Much to his chagrin I use the best tool for the job, he thinks I'm giving up my freedom for that.
No, you're awesome.
So I have that going for me. I don't subscribe to ideologies, they are too confining and dividing.
He is like a Tea Party supporter or a vegan PETA member, far off the mainstream and living in a fantasy world.

How about you? You willing to hold yourself up to the standards you hold for others?
