Actually, on the early flights, they were big bearly ex-Army Air Corp sergeants, which scared the shit out of the passengers, so they replaced them with pretty girls.

NOAA has the same credibility as the NSA, the IRS, the VA, and all the other government agencies -- NONE. They all lie, they all lie about everything, ESPECIALLY numbers and measurements.
All that they did here was run a statistical analysis on the same flawed, "adjusted" data that Mann used on his initial "hide the decline" fraud. Even if the math here is sound, it doesn't matter because it is all based on deeply flawed, horribly bad data.
So, in order to support free speech, we are now destroying the livelihoods of people who support legislation that was passed by a majority of the voters in the state.
This is a sad, sad day for the internet. When our kids ask us why the Internet isn't free, we can tell them it is because we were more worried about the feelings of 5% of the population than principles.
It's pretty obviously for training. Even if Iran wanted to do some sort of fake film, it would be easier to do it digitally (and that is how they have done it -- poorly -- before.) It's much more likely that this is a training target, and not for shooting at. The painted marks are the key. This is for training on and testing optical devices. They want to train their people -- probably their speedboat fleet -- on how to recognize and pick out the carrier in a fleet.
America, the UN, and the EU are not going to sanction Russia. They simply aren't. They are no more sanctionable than America is.
Not only can they easily get around pretty much any sanction, the act of sanctioning them is still an Act of War under international law, which would give Putin a casus belli to invade even more countries, which he is obviously itching for.
The troops are on the field. The question is simply how well dug-in does Russia get to be in Crimea before they launch their attack.
Not because we are bored. Because the war has already started on the Russian side, and all the Ukraine is doing now is losing. There is no way to avoid the war any longer. The invasion has happened. The only question is when Ukraine is going to fight -- when it can be confined to Crimea and the east, or when they are fighting an existential fight in the west?
I have my own theory. First we need to set the stage. One of two things is true, either human activity causes global warming or it does not. Either way we have two choices, either we choose to reduce carbon output or we choose not to. We are assuming that global warming would suck for us, if we assume otherwise then the point is moot. If global warming does not suck then we have nothing to argue about.
It's even more complicated than that. First, either human activity causes climate change or not. (I think virtually everyone agrees yes, as a concept.) Next, either human activity causes significant climate change or not. This one is much, much more debatable, even among climatologists. Next, either that significant change is something that the climate doesn't already compensate for as part of it's normal feedback loops or it isn't. Finally, either the change is something that is harmful for human life, or not.
If we hit "not" on any of those, then we are wasting our time with climate change carbon nonsense. That isn't to say that we shit on the ecology -- no one likes to live in filth. However, we do need to recognize that "green" is a luxury, and one that frankly most of the world can't afford. American and European poor are rich, compared to the poor in... well, any place that isn't America or Europe. The rest of the world's poor need electricity, healthy water, medicine, and transportation any way they can get it.
Frankly, at this point, to impose any sort of "carbon" standards on any part of the world is tantamount to genocide, because the economic costs associated with it contribute directly to the starvation and disease related deaths in Africa and Asia.
A better reason why there has been little "action" on climate change is that it is all based on bad science with no reliable predictions and constant falsification.
It is extortion, and here's where they are playing with fire -- they don't enjoy qualified immunity regarding the arrests like the police do, so as soon as someone beats one of these "citations", then the airport and the individual are liable for damages in a lawsuit by the falsely accused person.
The police are already complaining in America that they can't catch "drunk" drivers at.08. Why? Because at.08 your driving isn't impaired enough to show in your driving. "We need random stops/checkpoints/whatever because we can't catch the people between.08 and.1." Dropping it to.05 is a complete waste of time and just a sop to the cops who want to arrest people (or let them go) on a whim.

Really? Because when only one Republican voted for the healthcare disaster in the House, it was called a "bipartisan bill".

More importantly, it isn't an attempt to get MONEY out of politics, it is an attempt to get non-establishment MEDIA money out of politics.
All this does is turn politics back over to Time Warner, Fox, Disney, etc, who own the news stations and papers, and out of the hands of the People.
No thanks.
"We don't want your money in politics... but would you like to buy our news station?"

You know, Mozilla could easily make that happen.

No, because Ukraine didn't burn Crimea before the Russians moved in.

If it is alive, it likely won't BE there the next time we send a bot. The clock is ticking.

After all, this $15 million is important, but the $100 million that is laundered for Soros and Bennett by the Tides group every year is not important.

Europe has a lot of practices that aren't abided by a free people.

Yes. The study only counted cultures that were grown from swabs of the bag. They were viable, transferable bacteria.
It's been tested:

Half the bags tested positive for coliform -- you know, that bacteria that are transmitted through human shit.

Surprise! The bags are filthy.
