Explain why the "adjustments" ALWAYS make the temperatures go UP as time goes by?
That's because the temperature is rising, so the data will naturally reflect that.
why did you fail to mention the controversy over the urbanization warming corrections
There is no such controversy. Scientists are well aware of the urban warming effects, and adjust the data to take it into account. You are just parroting denialist talking points
Meat eaters often consider themselves somehow kin to the Great Hunter, that by eating a bloody steak they are somehow closer to the earth
WTF are you talking about? I don't know anyone who eats meat who do so because they "feel closer to the earth." They eat it because they like the taste of it. You are assuming that because your food choices are because of ideology and an obvious holier-than-thou attitude, everyone else is the same. That is simply not true.
Meat eaters don't "often" consider themselves that. They never do. You are just making stuff up because you like to feel superior by lying about other people.
If you don't like your internet service provider's policies, you can simply switch to another one.
Not if they all find it to be in their best interest (maybe even working together to make sure everyone's in on it) to ram the internet up the backside.
Some people even have tinnitus and are not conscious of it, and that keeps them awake.
Really? That's news to me. I thought the problems with tinnitus was that people are all too aware of it, and are having problems sleeping because of the sound, for example because it causes severe anxiety which prevents sleep.
I keep seeing that repeated, but I'm not sure it's actually true. I mean, he might be center-right when compared to Cuba, but I'd say he's center-left with regards to Western Europe, for example.
Nope. he's definitely center-right by European standards.
You are ignoring the context. Your quote was about how the government would cause horrid things to happen if the people didn't have weapons to defend against them. The people of Scandinavia do not have weapons to defend against the government, but to do hunting, and the laws are extremely strict.
I never claimed that Scandinavia was a country. It's a collection of countries (Norway, Sweden, Denmark) with very strict gun laws, and very low violence and gun crime. The kind of guns you'll find in Scandinavia are intended for hunting, not for protecting yourself against burglars, rapists, or whatever. You are not allowed to carry a gun around just anywhere. If you do bring a gun in public, you can not carry it on your person, you need a valid reason for that (mainly transporting it to wherever you are going to go hunting).
They were out there calling Bush "Hitler" and all of that
"They", being some random guy with a sign. As opposed to opinion heads on prime-time Fox News calling Obama a Communist who wants to launch death squads.
Show me a time in history before Bush where there was a television series running during his presidency that was nothing but malicious attacks painted as "humor". ("That's My Bush", Comedy Central).
Oh no! They parodied him! The horror! That is certainly comparable to the constant "Obama is a Commie" and "Show Us Your Birth Certificate" crap from the right!
Show me a time in history where there has been such unrelenting hate for the occupant of the oval office, such that the campaign against him was typically nothing more than "Anyone But Bush", even during a campaign where Bush was constitutionally unable to run for office.
He fucked up the country. Are you really surprised that it pissed people off? It's not hatred, it's disgust with the way he fucked everyone over.
That might have been a good thing. Gas was far too cheap, and encouraged waste and gas-guzzling monsters which contributed to AGW. I don't know when Peak Oil will hit, but the more oil we use, the sooner it will hit us, and hard.
Not just a theory. A scientific theory is the highest level. So saying "just a theory" means that it isn't really that useful or substatiated, and that there's some higher level it has yet to achieve. There is none.
Well hell I believe in ghosts only because I experienced it first hand myself.
Really! And how do you know it was a ghost? You don't. You are just claiming that it is because that is what you automatically assume without any evidence whatsoever. Someone else might claim he saw Jesus when looking at what you think you saw. Or he might claim it was a hallucination. It could have been any number of things, or nothing. You have no basis for the claim that it was a ghost.
Evidence is just something that leads you to a conviction about something, whether or not you can share it with someone else doesn't make it not evidence.
What you describe here is a claim. Evidence is what's used to support this claim.
If I'm walking in the woods and see a new species of bird, that's evidence that that bird exists.
Nope. There is an infinite number of reasons why it isn't a new species. For example, it is well known, but you didn't know about it. Or it was a well known species, but you think you saw something else. And so on. Until you provide evidence for this observation, it is just a claim.
Life cannot come from lifelessness. That's a widely-accepted scientific axiom.
Thanks for proving the complete and utter lack of evidence. There is no such scientific axiom. In your ignorance, you are mistaking what the Law of Biogenesis actually states. The rest of your comment indicates that you are just trolling, though, so I won't waste any more time on this nonsense.
So: Company CEO sets strategy to break the law. Company breaks the law. Punishing the person who got the company to break the law is "leftist group thinking"?
You are just grasping for straws. If one was to follow your logic, then it would be fine to doubt Gravity, Electricity and Evolution, because nothing in science is ever 100% certain. The fact is that all the facts show AGW. That is what you need to realize.
They are not guessing. They are making observations that consistently show the observed global warming to be caused by human activity. Way to willfully reject the facts.

What policies, and how are they failing?
Nope. he's definitely center-right by European standards.

What do you mean by "mainstream America"?
Not just a theory. A scientific theory is the highest level. So saying "just a theory" means that it isn't really that useful or substatiated, and that there's some higher level it has yet to achieve. There is none.
If they do, they stop being theories. So you still fail.

Huh? How does that work, exactly?
The religious fundie will blow you up, whereas the fiery atheist will, at worst, mock your beliefs.
These problems are tiny and irrelevant compared to the problems with the iPhone 4.
So: Company CEO sets strategy to break the law. Company breaks the law. Punishing the person who got the company to break the law is "leftist group thinking"?
Yeah, Scandinavia is such a horrid place.
You are just grasping for straws. If one was to follow your logic, then it would be fine to doubt Gravity, Electricity and Evolution, because nothing in science is ever 100% certain. The fact is that all the facts show AGW. That is what you need to realize.
You are obviously clueless. Why are you making statements about "vast problems" when you obviously have no idea what you are talking about?
They are not guessing. They are making observations that consistently show the observed global warming to be caused by human activity. Way to willfully reject the facts.
