"Do I think that means we should just indiscriminately dump CO2 into the atmosphere?"
It might mean that we should worry more about species extinction, habitat destruction, pollution with real toxins, and other environmental issues which get shoved to the back burner when "Global Warming" grabs the headlines.

" Science finds objectives truths. Since science constiently comes out against conservatives on many issues"
Liberals come out against conservatives. "Science" rarely does, as it is not a policy matter.
"They rely on people having factually incorrect data on global warming, birth control, etc"
At this time, the conservatives tend to hold more to the real science on global warming (instead of silly fad "theories" in which someone has a political axe to grind so they make up "we are warming the earth" fictions). "Birth control" is not a science controversy at this time, so I do not know why you mentioned it.
Instead of all this speculation, shouldn't we go to the source?. When the Heat Miser takes Manhattan, there is sure to be a hot time on the old town tonight.

In 1979, GM came out with the X-Cars. One was the Pontiac Phoenix, another was the Chevy Citation (another ill-fated name, taken from the main Edsel model), and the final-sounding Olds Omega.

What is missing much of the time is honest labelling. At download.com, much of what is called "free" or "freeware" is really crippleware.
Consider the soundstream-to-MP3 program that is labelled free but is really ridiculously crippled in the free version (record 15 seconds!) and has "pay $49 to upgrade now" banners all over the place.

Maybe Napster did cause CD sales to go up, but you need to have a lot more to make a case that they did other than just saying the CD sales went up.
You will see many references to it being a saltwater sea, including Encyclopedia Brittanica, The Aral Sea Homepage, and a wide variety of geographical and educational pages.
The largest freshwater lakes in the United States west of the Mississippi (Lake Powell and Lake Mead) are there because of irrigation needs, as are a wide variety of other lakes created by dams on rivers and streams all over the country.
This was when George W Bush was working for his dad on a secret CIA project back in 1986.
Not wanting to commit things to paper and have them get out through the Freedom of Information Act, the planning went around by word of mouth. Dick Cheney (fresh back from a mission to pollute the canals on Mars) wanted to tell Bush Jr over the phone to get rid of the CCCP (Russian acronym for USSR).
However, the phone cut off mid-conversation, and all Bush could hear Cheney say was "About Russia? I want you to get rid of the C..."
Bush took this partial instruction literally, and proceeded to eliminate the smaller of Russia's internal salt seas.
"ust to clarify and emphasize why this is a big deal: Aral is not really a sea - it's a lake. A sea is a body of water that has direct exit into an ocean. A lake - doesn't connect to any ocean"
huh? It is a sea, primarily because it is salty.
The vast majority of what is called lakes do connect to the ocean: from Lake Superior to Lake Placid.
See dictionary.com concerning sea " A relatively large body of salt water completely or partially enclosed by land." This applies to the Caspian Sea as well. Lake Superior is the largest lake in the world, not the Caspian Sea.
I think this is all a plot to make sure that the forthcoming film "Trading Places II" is a big box-office draw due to inclusion of lots of explosions, related to this new film being about bidding on military incident futures.
I got one of those early on, and regret getting it before proper limitations were in place.
Pretty soon, our number was on a junk-hard list, and the entire office in short order was filled with junk-hards such as giant palm-tree promos sent for "Florida Vacations" and free sample inkjet cartridges.
Oh great. Instead of the RIAA wondering about those songs on your hard disk, you'll have the NAM (National Association of Manufacturers) getting after you because you have 60 full-sized plastic Cadillacs downloaded from Repster in your back yard.

It's the Chicago Cubs. They're doing pretty well this year, perhaps dangerously close to serious pennant or even World Series contention.
Considering the Cubs Curse, the cosmic balance is out of whack this summer.
Don't complain about the hail. You might be having to put up with blue suns and frog-plagues as they advance through the playoffs.

I misread this at first, I thought it was some sort of reference to the Slashdot motto "news for nerds, stuff that matters". My mistake.

Not only that, this place would be an early target for the RIAA to test out the bombers in its new air force.

This was displayed quite well in the otherwise pretty much lame Johnny Mmemonic (1995), two years before "Earth: Final Conflict" (1997).
These are just the examples I've seen. I would suspect that this first appeared elsewhere even earlier than 1995.
The site is slashdotted already.
Just imagine the spectacle of "404 error" numbers flashing and floating in mid-air.

I'm no defender of the RIAA in any way, but you have shown no connection:
