Throughout history there have been plagues that kill off up to 30% of the world's population. Fortunately, Yellow Fever, Ebola and Zika may not actually turn out to be amongst them (but the data is not in yet).
In the interests of science, I suggest you attempt to punch him in the face a large number of times, so you can accurately record the effects and statistically analyse them (just don't use Excell).
I am quietly confident that most of the trees in Europe were cut down before the cheeseburger was invented. Most of the trees elsewhere were cut down for firewood.
Statistics and computer models are not science? And what you say is? on what basis? What do you suppose science is? The collected thoughts of Wuzel Gummage?
They are testable, have been tested, and have past the tests within known limits (which are not exactly close tolerance, I agree), and the results are published, and are available for inspection, are inspected, etc. You clearly lack the skill to do this yourself. However, that does not mean that other people are not sufficiently skilled in the art.
Why is this hard for people to understand?
Because unlike you, loads of people have travelled around the world to a wide variety of places, and report back that the experiences of the people living there confirms the data reported by satellite measurements, etc, and those involved in activities like fishing and farming, which are seriously affected by the climate report that their own experience is one of change over several generations.
The models may not be correct to two decimal places - but the sign points in the right direction for sure.
While I accept that GW is being used as a tool for corrupt political funding, that is because the corrupt know which side of the bread has the butter on and if it was global cooling, they would be seeking taxes to fund heating projects instead.
Were you born yesterday, or do you just want us to think that?
The real problem here, is that the masses prefer to buy (put higher value on) the disposable junk to stuff with long term value. The system then translates this into economic benefits to the rich, but it would still make the rich richer if the poor went for the stuff with long term value - maybe not so rich, so fast, maybe different rich people, I doubt there is much valid data available, because the rich get rich by selling the poor what they will pay for. Same way the poor dispose of their income to make footballers rich - and blame others for it!
Holding up Homer SImpson as a hero, and attacking education like Boko Haram is extremely popular with [trump supporters], while they blame others for the obvious consequences of their own actions.
Condemning experts is a great way to defend your own stupidity, but it doesn't make it any less stupid.
please have text readable at approximately the same apparent size and links that have reasonable bounding boxes across all devices?
No, because the browser on your device does not adhere to any known standards (unless by accident), and the standards do not agree on how big "12 points" is on a mobile screen.

I have given DDG several tries - it is a total waste of space. But, so is Bing IME.
Not that I love Google - five years ago, it was great. now its beginning to fester.
Please, someone, can we have a search engine that looks for what I typed in the Search bar,
and nothing else. Always. And respects "-" when I want to exclude irrelevant crap.
I remember, long ago, a German Shareware product, which had a dialogue box like this

I always clicked the second button. I don't suppose it made a lot of difference to what happened, but it definitely demonstrated great UI design skills.
Is the lameness filter there to demonstrate lameness?
However, I think you are interpreting this in an over-intelligent manner. The average numbskull probably supposes that if the manufacturer went on making a "Smart-doodad 2" for 3 years instead of one, then the software would get more iterations, and hopefully, more debugging. You and I know that the scumbags would happily sell the same bug-infested bloatware for three years. Unfortunately, the reviewers go bleating on about how "the competitor's one is better cos its 0.5mm thinner, and the market will reject it", and the management fear this leading to a shareholder revolt.
In the real world, plastic backs are far superior - they let the signal in/out and spring back if bent, they don't feel too hot or too cold to touch, whatever the climate - but reviewers hate them. I wonder why Shakespeare never said "first thing, lets kill all the reviewers"?
A couple of years ago (about 7 really) I got stopped for a faulty headlight bulb, just down the road from my home. Three cops standing round booking me. The owner of the copy shop by the side of the road come shout shouting "My shop is being robbed!"
The cops continue booking me. The guys is screaming till he goes blue!

Quickbooks is the only accounting software that allows you to delete the audit trail. That is an essential feature no crook can be without!
