But the climate change is inevtiable and has been occurring since the start of time. It is the nature of animals that they must adapt, ourselves no less.
This isn't a static sterile little spaceship we're riding on. It's been covered with ice before. It's been covered with jungle before. We need to not dig in our heels everytime the planet goes through natural changes.
It's worth pointing out that at one point CRU were getting over 50 FOI requests per week from climate skeptics. Maybe it's more now. That is a crazy additional workload for the CRU scientists who are paid to do actual research and not fill out FOI replies.
So the correct response to a FOI law that you find inconvenient is to ignore it?
That would mean something if you could prove that games are reviewed mainly on how much fun the average consumer would have with the game. Instead they are rated on things like graphics, story, marketing spend and the personal preferences of the narrow demographic who self select themselves as game reviewers.
The Wii also has the lowest attach rate, indicating users feel similarly.
They can pull the wool over non technical peoples eyes, but I have no doubt they purposely FUBAR'ed this, there was no reason not to go with an industry standard solution from the get go unless they were up to no good.
You ever worked with a government contractor, or even a huge corporation?
I'm sure the OTS solution was unacceptable because it wasn't using legacy 3.5" single sided floppies formatted for 937.73K each running on a CP/M terminal accessible by thirteen different departments in nine different ways each by thirty-five untrained secretaries with a five second response time that of course would never be used by any of them. And also the servers had to be the proper shade of green.
The government has zero incentive for either doing things right or cheap. Why would you pay for something cheap off the shelf when you could spend a couple hundred million for a few years and fail with no consequences?
Unregulated free markets. It's funny how the unregulated *free* market seems to regulate us so well.
She was charged with a felony. By the government. And arrested.
Unregulated markets are not good either. But this is not a case of that. This is a case of poor regulation.
Furthermore, a free market is a theoretical thought experiment implying equal ability and knowledge among participants and no force or fraud. It is a thought experiment alone and an unregulated market would immediately devolve away from it. They are, in fact, entirely mutually exclusive.
What the denalists can't show is that the aforementioned empirical asston of greenhouse gases we've spewed out is completely harmless, because it is impossible to prove a negative.
The raw-data (i.e. stolen emails) that you're basing this on are presumably available on some right-wing/skeptic web site. So why don't you cite some specific instances? Specific phrases and paragraphs from specific emails.
The irony of asking for raw data about lack of access to raw data greatly amuses me.
Personally, I don't really care that much since I have no children to pass the planet on to. So I'm all for saying fuck the planet and exploit the resources (including plants, wildlife, etc.) until there's nothing left of it. The human race isn't immune from natural selection and there's no reason to think that it won't select itself out of existence.
Regardless if global warming is a problem, we should ALL strive to lessen our effect on the environment. Restricting emissions that may not heat up the planet, BUT have noticeable problems on health of humans and wildlife. I feel like I have to remind people that even if global warming is false we should always do what we can to conserve our resources and lessen pollution.
Which is why the whole global warming issue irritates me. Polluted cities are disgusting. We don't need the "turn or burn" rhetoric to have good reasons for clean energy.

Today I would like to be educated as to the meaning of "peter puffing".
Pay to send AND receive the call.
I know! It's not like they're using two cell towers when two people with cell phones call each other!
Not everyone likes the same things.
Which is why they should stop making flip phones?

The web's pretty much all full of free porn.
I have a double digit IQ you insensitive clod!
Yeah, but it's base-16.

So if is there any reputable source that is publishing a story about this, could a link please be posted in the original submission.
If you'd bothered to read past the byline, you'd see he links to the Russian translation as well as the original published PDF (in Russian).
Unless the IEA produces data it claims is 100% raw uncut, this story is below the threshold of credibility.
He links to the original Russian story. He's just reporting what the Russian experts say.
And we're supposed to trust experts right? We're not supposed to question them because we're not qualified right?
And asking for data? Now you're demanding data?!! You gotta be kidding me!
...the ecosystem is absolutely crucial to the survival of every man, woman and child, even if they never leave the concrete of the city.
And this is why it's so crucial that we take the right steps in protecting it, rather than the politically expedient ones.
I apologize for the generalization. Its wrong on my part, as you justly point out.
That's okay. All you Europeans do it.

the Wii is awesome because the games are *fun*.
The Wii had the lowest rated games of all platforms in 2009.
Wii: 362 games... 1 considered great.
Xbox 360/PC: 7 considered great. PS3: 10 considered great.
I like consoles because I know that even in 5 years, if a game is released for my xbox 360 (or wii, or whatever), then it'll work on that console
Yeah, but with regards to the 360, whether the console itself will be working is a major consideration.
By ability I meant "ability to pursue goals", ie: opportunity. You are correct this was poor wording. I apologize for the confusion.

In short, learn more.
No. It's pretty fucking sad.
Lie.
Liars.

Why take your existence out on the dog? That's not very fair. Give him to a good home and get on with it.

You might be correct, except that the US is more responsible than China and the UK/Japan are hardly innocent either.
China is the world's largest CO2 producer. US isn't far behind.
