I guess if you included inside climate where HVAC is present, then yes. Outdoors not so much. Unless there is some big global thermostat you have been hiding.
You are aware that it is impossible to prove a negative, right? For the sake of argument, what error rate would you expect for voting? Any reasonable non-zero guess is going to result in at least one error in 19,000.
No, it was fraud. Even if you told every single voter to go in and vote for candidate A, and they had every intention of doing so, a non-zero percentage would get it wrong out of over 19,000.
Voter ID laws are about much more than illegals. In the last presidential contest, Romney get not one vote from 59 voting divisions in Philadelphia. Not one single vote. 19,605 to zero. Same with 9 precincts in Cleveland. Many of these voters are not even literate. This is a statistical impossibility. St. Lucie County in FLA had 141% voter turnout. Without fraud like that, the election might have had a different outcome.
For which you can thank the democratic congress. Reagan shut down the government multiple times in budget fights to rein in spending, but there is only so much one man can do.
You have no idea what you are talking about. When RR took office, the prime interest rate was over 20%, mortgage rates were about 18%, inflation was running at 13%, there were long lines to buy gasoline and the cost of heating skyrocketed. By the time he left office in 1989, 18 million new jobs had been created, inflation was cut to 4%, interest rates were cut in half, the Federal Registry of regulations had half the number of pages, and the Iron Curtain had come down. Reagan freed millions people from tyranny. He was a hero.
We do this all the time hunting ducks, geese, pheasants, quail, etc. Birdshot is pretty much harmless after a short distance, depending on pellet size. I have never taken a bird at anything over about 60 yards. The big question is will the USF&WS require the use of non-toxic shot on drones, or can we use lead? If drones are considered federal migratory waterfowl, non-toxic shot will be required.
Capitalism and fascism have nothing to do with each other. Fascism is communism where the means of production are privately owned but government regulations are so widespread that the government de facto controls production. This is where the US is rapidly heading today. Anybody who equates capitalism with anything to do with North Korea is completely clueless.
The thing that the socialists always overlook is a critical aspect of sound economic policy, that of private capital formation. High earners use to keep most of their earnings and either lent it out to a bank or employed the capital themselves. Now we confiscate their excess wealth and rely on government central planners and regulations to direct government capital, which is increasingly reliant on debt for capital formation. The world is swimming in debt and the US in particular has the highest debt in the history of the known universe. This is not going to end well.
FA Hayek wrote books about morons like you. Read "The Fatal Conceit", which was succinctly and ironically summarized by Obama when he proclaimed "We are the ones we have been waiting for". Then "The Road to Serfdom". All forms of collectivism are dangerously destructive to human freedom.
Equal treatment is *always* the correct path. Ever notice how the lady holding the scales of justice is blindfolded? Your understanding of our legal system is infantile.
There is no such thing as reverse discrimination. There is only discrimination. The false concept of reverse discrimination relies on the premise of "group rights", which is anathema to our system of individual rights. Groups defined on common skin color or body parts have no more rights than any given individual, whether in said group or not.
Yes, the free market is very powerful, but it is most manifestly not a tool. It is millions and millions of people making free decisions about how to maximize their utility with limited resources. The demand for carbon reduction is vanishingly small without the heavy hand of central planners. Claiming that the coercion of central planners is "free market" anything is nonsense.
Several observations:
1) You are hopelessly naive. Where the money goes is the entire story
2) A pox on whoever decided that the tax code should be use to manipulate citizens
3) Burning money creates CO2
Yet that is the inevitable "cure" for the "problem" of global warming. Anyone claiming otherwise is simply not paying attention to the political side of the debate.
Nonsense. Our debt to GDP is over 100% and growing, and several economists opine that we are past the tipping point, meaning that any realistic scenario results in economic collapse. If interest rates were to return to historical averages, we would be paying 80% of revenues to service the debt.

That is pure speculation, unless you are aware of some actual experimental results on a planetary scale you would like to share.
about the usefulness of a tool so odious to civil liberties that the government is ashamed to reveal it to juries.

Um, mankind does not have control over the weather, AGW fanatics notwithstanding.

The only companies making competitive flash these days are Samsung, Micron/Intel, SK Hynix, and Toshiba/Sandisk.
Which is statistically impossible without fraud.
No, it was fraud. Even if you told every single voter to go in and vote for candidate A, and they had every intention of doing so, a non-zero percentage would get it wrong out of over 19,000.

Politicos of all stripes these days avoid the word "tyranny" at all costs. It is the elephant in the room.
Most coherent people would say that includes everything inside the Washington D.C. beltway.

Um, actually congress critters who voted for PPACA have been thrown out in droves.
