    What does a "normal global average" mean? What is normal and what is natural variation?

    We in the UK have such a thing called the "Climate Change Act". It was the most expensive bill ever passed by a UK Parliament. Luckily there's a small chance a non-retarded government will get itself elected and repeal the bill, which has effects across our economy particularly with respect to fuel bills. Yes, our MPs are thick. They're now shamelessly banging on about "fuel poverty" without any embarrassment whatsoever. It's easier to blame it on evil capitalists rather than their own idiotic energy policies.

    What's their motivation? They're happier teaching American kids feminist dance theory. If there's no political pressure from industry to fix the education system it won't happen. Industry has no motivation to pressure politicians because they're fine, they can get their workers from other countries on the cheap.

    NASA has lots of pages dedicated to acquiring funding from government. Papers like this prove otherwise, though it's not political correct to publish such things these days.

    Don't misuse actual data.

    Oh, a cartoon. Strange how this looks nothing like the Vostok or Greenland core data. One could almost imagine it's cherry picked data that's first been massaged by the hairy hands of a fraudster. I'd be careful with that if I were you.

    but I do consider myself an empiricist

    I did you the courtesy of reading your whole reply. I am also an empiricist. That's why I don't believe the hype about global warming, most of which is promoted by environmentalists and activist scientists ("we need to bring more attention to the field") through the use of models that are demonstrably wrong. There are too many eyebrow raising graphs knocking around for me to believe the current climate is outside of the range of natural variation. I mean let's face it, if a climate scientist told me 1908 - 1940 was natural variation but that 1979 - 2000 was Human-CO2 induced, I would stifle a chuckle or three.

    What amuses me so much is why you and others like you can't see this.

    Because the second statement is false

    I suppose it must be false as you've as asserted it to be so with no argument whatsoever.

    I note that you have abandoned your original bogus claim

    Such as:

    “Of course there are no-go zones in France where the police cannot intervene and do their jobs in safety,” Denis Jacob from the union Alternative police-CFDT told The Local. “And it’s the same for fire fighters or pretty much any representative of the state. The police can’t apply the law in these areas, they are attacked. If the police can’t do their work it’s because there are criminals and delinquents who don’t respect the law.”

    , for example. Do you mean to suggest he's lying?

    Pity you're replacing it with an equally bogus claim.

    What, that Sweden is the rape capital of Europe? Been for a swim in your pretty little bathing suit recently?

    perhaps it is because you are in fact islamophobic?

    I have a phobia against bad ideas and Islam is an extremely bad idea. Speaking of twaddle, perhaps your news sources are lying to you?

    Any notion that the left will accept the suppression of gay and women's right is just post-thinking bunkum.

    Except they do when it comes to Islam. That's why they call people out as "islamophobic" when the offer up criticism of Muslim culture.

    Any myths about 'no-go' areas in Europe are bovine excrement that ignorant North-Americans tell each other to feel superior.

    You have no idea. Ask yourself why Sweden is now the rape capital of Europe.

    That's not happening in any European country

    In countries like Sweden they have huge political influence mostly through the proxy of many useful idiots on the left (white liberals, hell bent on cultural suicide). Otherwise my point stands - population growth difference will take care of the rest. This is of course notwithstanding the existing "no-go" areas for authorities in countries like Belgium and France.

    Your comment is reasonable on the face of it but the more I think about it the more smug it seems. It doesn't take an entire community to destroy a way of life. Just a critical mass. That critical mass is approaching in Europe. If you look at Pew attitudes research, more than a critical mass believe in death for apostasy, more than a critical mass are against gay and women's rights.

    If you want you could show me how this is compatible with Western Liberalism? I can't see it. Every +1 is +1 towards that critical mass. Just remember, white European liberals have stopped reproducing.
