That's great news. I remember when the life span of CO2 being bandied about was 1000 years. Nice to see that we are finally getting answers to some of these really difficult questions. Now if we can just nail down the heat trapping effects of CO2, we'll know if there is anything to get excited about.
If you don't know history, then STFU. History proves that science is cabalistic and prone to bias. That's why science is hard and also why eminent scientists like Freeman Dyson are not part of your stupidly concocted 97%.
I'm sorry if some people only have one ISP to choose from, but it is a local governance issue. Your local government should be able to solve this, either by paying for their own wires or allowing competition. It is not the federal government that is granting monopolies on your internet access.
China poured more concrete in the last ten years then the USA poured in the entire 20th century. And China is not rebuilding the world after WWII or supplying the USSR with raw materials during WWII. China is polluting its own people, building man made islands on top of coral reefs and other massive environmentally questionable projects all for its own benefit. But we elected Trump and now we're the bad guys again.
The first country will build a robot to kill the humans in the opposing army. Eventually they will justify the killing of civilians using one of the typical excuses like destroying their will to continue the war or that the civilians are aiding the war effort.
Except for chemical weapons, every weapon ever invented has been used to kill civilians (and Saddam may have crossed the line on that one).
The main use of DNS is to resolve URLs to IP addresses, ex. www.google.com is at 54.32.87.65. Your DNS server either has the address cached or it asks another DNS server upstream if it has the address. This repeats until it gets to a top level server (.com,.org, being Top Level Domains). Anywhere along that route, a DNS server can be programmed to return whatever IP address it feels like. So if Russia wants to hijack DNS, all it has to do is put itself into that chain. And since the top level servers are well known and they own the wires used to send DNS messages, they can re-route all traffic to top level servers to their own servers. I would be surprised if they don't have this capability already.
Announcing that they are going to do this overtly is just plain stupid.
It would be like flying to Europe for a Big Mac and passing about 15,000 McDonalds on the way.
To travel long distances in space you have to really not need anything. If you did need something, you won't last long. So we are probably talking about a post-scarcity society. To them gold, diamonds, jewels will be trifles. To space faring civilizations, "Money is a sign of poverty".
The first settlements off planet will be in asteroids or habitats. Many will be employees of the Green Mars effort. By the time Mars can support 1000 people, there will be millions already living in space and many of them will be in orbit around Mars.
The resources needed to green Mars will be mined from asteroids and other sources. At some point humans will realize that we don't need no stinking gravity well, at least one as inhospitable as Mars and better planets will be sought. Except for a few sites, Mars will be left uninhabited.

"If there were no underlying warming trend then the ten year moving average would be equally likely to go up or down in successive years; in fact it's ten times more likely to go up than down."
Except we're not talking about a warming trend, we're talking about runaway man-made global warming. If it is man-made than it should, as the models predict, continue to go up. Man hasn't taken a hiatus, so unless the models are wrong, you got some explaining to do.
"If you choose two points you will always get a straight line. If the end point is 2016 and the start point is any prior year in the instrumental record, the slope will be upward."
A horizontal line means that there was no warming. Moving back to 1997 or even further doesn't produce a warming rate, or upward slope, that correlates with the CO2, man-made hypothesis.
Still waiting on that model that shows a peak and trough between 1998 and 2016 and the next one you seem to agree is going to happen.
And they will be right. Do you not understand the difference between warm and warming? If I have a fever, I am warm. When my temperature goes from 98 to 102, I am warming.
From 1997 to 1998 there is no warming. The 'warming' in 2016 is insignificant. It is as straight of a horizontal line between the two points as you can make on a graph. If the temperature doesn't reach 1998 or 2016 levels until the next El Nino, then there will still have been no warming.
So, show us a model with a straight line from 1998 to 2016 and, here's a thought, get rid of the ones that don't.
If only there was a thing that used CO2 from the atmosphere. What a wonderful thing that would be. A thing that would be so beautiful to see.
Imagine if that thing thrived under CO2, that would be crazy cool. As long as it didn't cost more to manufacture than economics dictate. If it could some how or way generate something useful, then we would probably have a way of maybe mitigating CO2. People would probably want at least one of those things.
Even if it didn't generate something useful, it would still be kinda cool. If it could maybe drop solidified CO2 onto the ground every year or so, we could collect those things and bury them or maybe pile it up. A huge pile of something. At least it wouldn't be in the atmosphere trapping upwelling IR.
If it could generate oxygen part of the time, but that's too silly to consider.
Seriously, she was Secretary of State. Any mention of a foreign government, country or place should have not been deleted. In fact, nothing should have ever been deleted. She could have put them in escrow and allowed an arbitrator, like a judge, decide what should or shouldn't be released.
She broke the damn law and got away with it. If that makes you happy then really there is nothing to discuss with you.
At the university level they don't, although in High Schools there are many statutory rapists. I predict that is the next front in the lefts war on values. Allowing 5 year olds to choose their gender and sexuality is the obvious first step. The not so slippery slope from there is that they be allowed to act on their sexuality, as they are already fighting to allow them to act on their gender re-assignment. To the left, they won't be rapists, they will be heroes allowing little johnny and jenny to fully explore and embrace their sexuality which the evil right would want to suppress.
When gay rights became a thing, many argued that it would end up in our public schools, only to be called trolls. My 6 year old is already being taught these things and we live in Texas. Her teacher lives across the street.
How many statutory rapists are currently on the Los Angeles School District pay roll protected by their union from even being fired? As California goes...
Just to be clear, I could not care less about either casting decisions in Hamilton or Ghostbusters. One is supposedly really good and the other is at best meh.
They will gleefully call out Matt Damon for staring in a movie about the Great Wall of China, declaring it is 'yellow face' even if he is not playing an Asian (I don't know, I'm guessing). But ignore an all-black Hamilton musical or an all-female Ghostbusters. They would never ever consider saying 'white face' or 'dick face', but those would be equivalent terms.
Straight white males are free game in today's society.
If they did release them it would be the best course of action for everyone, except Hillary. It would prove that her personal email server that she used as Secretary of State was compromised. It would maybe force people to ask more questions like 'Did former Secretaries of State use private email servers or did former Secretaries of State use private email?'. Those are two different things, in case you were wondering.
Trump did not invite the Russians and Chinese (as he later mentioned) to hack, he asked them to expose the hack. Something our FBI couldn't do, even after the fact. Grandpa Pinetta and the other pin heads in the DNC and at the DNC in Philly, can't figure out that talking about this is awesome. Maybe this will force Hilliary to have an unscripted press conference. She can talk about wiping her server with a rag. It was in the bathroom, so it probably needed it.
Like Cuba, Russia, China, Venezuela, etc, are run by leftist Marxists not conservatives. Liberals love Cuba and used to love Venezuela, not so much since it collapsed under its leftist ideals.
Islam is also an authoritarian form of government and that aint Western Conservatism. All the rest are petty tyrants. Conservatives are about rule of law and self determination. The only authoritarian governments that are rightist in any way are South American juntas, which have mostly disappeared and African warlords. Neither of which are Western style Conservatism.
But, but, but you stammer, we build roads and bridges and, and, and Scandinavia! There are probably more Scandinavians in America then in Scandinavia. You'd think so if you ever saw the US play Norway in soccer in the USA.
Just don't think they should be able to coop the term marriage. They can have all the same rights, just call it something besides gay marriage. Also think husband and wife should be used for a man and a woman exclusively. Be creative, come up with some terms that won't confuse everyone when you bring your wife Bob to the family reunion. Most people supported civil unions but that wasn't enough. Now people are being sued for not baking a cake.
I'm also against the current argument that transsexuals can choose the bathroom they feel most comfortable using. I do support allowing people to change their sex, but it needs to be a legal proceeding. Otherwise, they may as well say anyone can use any bathroom, shower facility, etc because anyone at any time can say they feel like a person of the opposite sex. I don't hate gays, just don't agree with their agenda.
Same with Muslims, don't hate them, but not going to turn a blind eye to their religious and political tenants (Islam is both a religion and system of governance). There are lots of Muslim countries and they all seem to have serious issues with their non-Muslim neighbors. And there are Muslim insurgents in secular nations that are trying to turn those into Muslim countries. It is they that have divided the world into the part of peace (Islamic) and war (non-Islamic). They fight amongst themselves because Shia and Shite don't recognize the other as being proper Islam (and thus the other is in the region of war). I also don't like their stance on women and the wearing of the hijab, that they don't allow people to leave Islam (which is un-American), that they do not assimilate, that there are millions who support the tactics of terror, that they blow up and destroy historical and cultural artifacts (especially if they are of another religion), that the rules for their behavior changes if they are in the region of war (allowed to drink, lie, steal, have gay sex, etc if it is in support of Jihad) and I could go on. But I don't hate them, just want them to modernize and reform, which is unlikely cause apostasy is a death sentence in Islam.
BTW, all of your long posts about history are really insensitive. This Muslim inspired massacre occurred this week, not centuries ago.

As in, 'The heat trapping effects of CO2 are logarithmic'...
But don't let that stop you from being hysterical.

Both politically driven. This is like watching the left turn on itself because 'Hollywood exploits women and children for sex'.
As in, what are the heat trapping effects of CO2 in the atmosphere.
Measured in real terms, USA does very well in both. Unless you measure optimism with a dipstick.
It would be like flying to Europe for a Big Mac and passing about 15,000 McDonalds on the way.
