There were no scientifically valid theories predicting the end of the world.
Wow way to strawman and tautology.
There were no scientifically valid theories predicting the end of the world
Seeing as even the worst of global warming predictions don't predict the end of the world that seems a rather pointless statement.
There are however over a hundred models for global warming, and even more predictions of "Dire Consequences" based on those models.
Misinformed? Ignorant? Stupid? What do call people who continually use the word "theory" to describe idle speculation and other crap that has not been peer reviewed or otherwise substantiated?
Why not just come straight out and say chinese/hippy conspiracy? Why bother with the pretense?
I am sorry, he is citing predictions that didn't happen. What do you call a theory that makes wrong predictions ?
What do you call someone who pushes theories that don't make accurate predictions ?
And with regard to your own attitude what do you call someone who is no longer looking at what is actually happening, and just shouting down anyone that disagrees with them ?
You've got colleges and universities that can't handle debate, and appear to value the contributions of their sports teams far above any science produced.
Not that it's anything to brag about, but we are still doing quite well compared to Europe, and China so just where are the brains going to drain to ?
France and Germany are trying to larp Caravan of the Saints. India ? the worlds largest diploma mill ? Japan they are perfectly happy not having you.
Simply put the time served should be no less than the time they cost the rest of the world. Your virus costs 10 million man hours to clean up, have fun with a 10 million man hour sentence.
Cable one bad, big cable big meanies. I have Comcast as my ISP so I get hating your cable co, but there is just no information in this article. Cable One is raising it's rates too much ? How much is too much ? What are their current rates ? how do they compare to the rest of the country ? They charge too much for television ? How much ?
People have been talking about doing this since the 1800s, . Nice to see this finally getting it done.
P.S. California take a note, it's almost certainly cheaper than building desal plants but 5 will get you 10, you'll still have to fight your loony environmentalists.

3: a stage of society in Marxist theory transitional between capitalism and communism and distinguished by unequal distribution of goods and pay according to work done
The first sign that political correctness has gone too far is when you see adherents ignoring facts right in front of their nose.
You realize the term political correctness is from a 1957 speech by Mao
The phrase came into more widespread use in American leftist circles in the 1960s and 1970s – most likely as an ironic borrowing from Mao, who delivered a famous speech in 1957 that was translated into English with the title “On the Correct Handling of Contradictions Among the People”.
Aka how to handle reality contradicting communism. So that first sign was there from the first use. It has always been about getting people to deny the evidence before them.
No, it is not. The 1st amendment does not legally "protect" you for lying. When you are saying "I'm an engineer", but the law defines an engineer and you don't conform to it, and the law defines misrepresenting yourself as an engineer as a crime, then you are legally liable for your act.
Actually it does. If it didn't protect lies it wouldn't protect any speech. All it would take to silence anything is have a few amenable people decide unpopular speech were lies and boom there goes your right to speak.

We call you science deniers,
We ?? You ??
Glad to see you haven't gone all "Tribal" on this and are still thinking objectively.

I'd call them James Hansen http://www.salon.com/2001/10/2...
Here's another question for you what do you call someone who thinks peer review makes a paper correct ?
Answer: Ignorant.
Just how many doomsday scenarios / Malthusian Apocalypses failing before people stop accepting them ? *
*I have no doubt someone will always be screaming the end is nigh but you can hope for the bulk of humanity.
LOL how long has it been and how much has CO2 increased ?
If I am not mistaken, you just told me I won, but you aren't willing to alter your opinion under any circumstances.
Correction that was James Hannsen I always do that for some reason
Why not just come straight out and say chinese/hippy conspiracy? Why bother with the pretense?

At least not just yet.

I don't know, my taxes aren't going up this year, hows yours in California doing ?
I just heard Gov. Brown call the people actually working and paying them freeloaders.
Hmmmmm
Shows what you know, successfully retired and well past any statute of limitation.
Anyway tell me more. I love to hear management theories of how hiring landmines is good for business.
Don't hire women. Problems solved, and you cut 90% of your HR dept.
Oh please, coming from a guy who has made green his religion.
Tell me oh wise one, just how are you going to power a fleet of electric cars that charge at night off solar power ?
Oh stop with your facts and reasoning. These people have gotten so much harm done with shouting people down.

I'm still trying to figure out how this is an appropriate slashdot topic. This sounds more like a topic for People's World.
Slashdot has been working its way there for years.

That's not fascism. You don't seem to understand these words - no wonder you are so confused and angry...
Well you may not grok fascism but you have confused and angry down to a science.
You should take your own advice
1 : any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods
2: a system of society or group living in which there is no private propertyb : a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state

If cheap energy is here and coal is never coming back, why worry ?
If coal competes with "cheap energy" then it probably wasn't that cheap after all.
If someone who is pro "cheap energy" is blowing a gasket over coal being deregulated perhaps they have a hidden agenda they aren't sharing ?
There is still a first amendment issue.
No, it is not. The 1st amendment does not legally "protect" you for lying. When you are saying "I'm an engineer", but the law defines an engineer and you don't conform to it, and the law defines misrepresenting yourself as an engineer as a crime, then you are legally liable for your act.
