It's quite easy to propose a scenario in which humans make CO2 and CO2 absorbs IR does not result in humans cause temperature increase. If all the CO2 is produced by burning methane that's already in the atmosphere, then cooling may result because methane is a more powerful greenhouse gas than CO2.
It's not true (because we aren't making all CO2 from methane already in the atmosphere), but my point is that your logic is hopelessly flawed. Until we know all significant inputs, all significant mechanisms, and can properly model the process, we have no chance of valid predictions, nor can we expect to know that if we make a particular change it will cause a particular amount of difference.
Madison's argument generally was that the federal government would be run by the best of the best. Thus, populace -> electors -> president has two stages of refinement in order to get that goal. Too bad it hasn't always worked out that well, but the process we use does have some other built-in advantages.
The founders had unique experience and brought to the job of creating a new nation a depth of study and understanding that is unavailable today. Those smearing "dead guys" and advocating "reform" with their ignorance are like blind men playing with grenades in a crowded stadium.
The ignorant changes already made - direct election of Senators and an income tax - have caused immense damage, and yet here you are clamoring for more.
It's a matter of responsibility. I am responsible for acting in a manner that doesn't cause me to get heart disease or cancer. It's not the government's responsibility to do that. It is the government's responsibility to protect me from all enemies, foreign and domestic.
China has more than 3 times the population of the US. Having more than 1/3 of the US's per capita income is nothing to brag about.
Your Athens-Sparta analogy to China-US is backwards, and the Atlantic article is based on inessentials instead of fundamental characteristics. Sparta was a very rigid militaristic society with enforced poverty, in many ways similar to China (at least China in 1970). Athens was much freer, with some wealthy individuals, and to the degree to which comparisons may be made over the time gap, more like the US than China. Neither was large enough to be a dominant military power by itself, each had a large number of allied city-states.
Alas, Sparta won the Peloponnesian War, but the reasons are irrelevant to today. The causes of the Peloponnesian War look more like the causes of WWI, and need not be the causes of new global war today. There are too many confounding factors to make that sort of prediction.
The federal land grab in the West is a national shame. If Failin reverses it and the government makes money in the process, it will be a tremendous boon for the country. Your evaluation of Joe Arpaio is libelous. If Price shuts down Medicare/Medicaid/ACA, it will mean an effective 20% boost in the wealth/income/productivity of America.
Trump's re-engagement with Taiwan is the most brilliant move in global politics since Reagan collapsed the USSR. It's time to shut down the pus-filled facades of tyrannies.
Sorry, you've become dangerously confused and need a minder.

I know your words form a sentence, but beyond that they bear no relation to reality.
"People who care about the future" have level heads and experience in making thinks work, unlike Obama's firebrand theoreticians whose goal remains to tear things down. Trump, despite his many faults, has been choosing people who are honorable and accomplished, people who will remove barriers to production, people who will remove zealots from federal agencies.
Do you know that FUD stands for Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt? Do you understand that "global warming is most likely not a real threat" is the opposite of spreading fear?

And beyond. On the plus side, room temperature superconductivity will be so much easier.
That's the same MIT that has protected villains like Noam Chomsky and Jonathan Gruber. My alma mater, and I'm ashamed of it.

The only journalist I've ever known personally wore a shirt with a black panther "kill whitey" fist on it. Nope, no bias there.

Thanks for admitting that you're wrong.
Yes I do, but I'm not going to help those who oppose me by telling them what it is.
Madison's argument generally was that the federal government would be run by the best of the best. Thus, populace -> electors -> president has two stages of refinement in order to get that goal.

So you think it's OK that several Democrat politicians have proposed imprisoning people who oppose the global warming hypothesis.

It is a constitutional democratic republic with separation of powers, checks and balances, and a bill of rights. No part of that is inessential.
The federal court system itself is incompatible with anything that can be properly defined as a democracy.
Consider the alternative, a woman whose only way to stop lying was to stop speaking.
Certainly. Some time in the next trillion years the Earth's climate will be incapable of supporting human life.
It's a matter of responsibility. I am responsible for acting in a manner that doesn't cause me to get heart disease or cancer. It's not the government's responsibility to do that. It is the government's responsibility to protect me from all enemies, foreign and domestic.
and are mutually contradictory.
If true, that would be no different than Obama, who has been blaming Bush Jr. for seven years after Bush Jr. stopped doing anything.

Since when is government experience a good thing? It's like experience in a brothel.

I didn't think so. You didn't think either.
Pay attention. It's year-to-year comparison.
The temperature rises each day while the sun is shining, so by your logic global warming must be true.
