That's not moving goalposts. If you ask for the data, you expect you'll get the original recordings, not a bunch of values that have been adjusted arbitrarily at someone's whim without an explanation of those adjustments and a means of extracting the original values.
Really? Every time it rains in Washington, DC 4 Billion liters of inexpensive, clean water that doesn't require large amounts of energy to process falls.
ocean water evaporates, clouds form, rain falls down. As long as this cycle continues, fresh water will continue to renew. F'ing know nothing moron....
Can you cite an earthquake caused by fracking that actually caused any damage? Poor water quality existed long before fracking. There are plenty of inexpensive solutions to ensure water quality isn't an issue.
Really? So a scientist postulates a new theory, devises an experiment to test the theory, performs the experiment, and notes the results match the theory. He did this all on his own, without any help. His experiment is repeatable, and it's verifiable. But he hasn't shared the results with anyone yet, so there is no consensus. So what you're claiming is this scenario is impossible?
newsflash: fresh water is an infinitely renewable resource. The problem isn't a lack of fresh water, the problem is surplus population in regions prone to natural drought cycles. With proper water reserve infrastructure, development, and management, these regions could easily eliminate water shortages.
It's been happening for 60 years now, and there have been zero deaths, and zero environmental disasters. Safer than nuclear, safer than coal, safer than wind turbines. Just because you used an expletive for emphasis in your closing sentence, doesn't mean you're right.
I'd say you're an idiot. Crichton is right. One scientist with a repeatable, verifiable experiment can prove many many many scientists who happen to think they're right, wrong. Consensus shouldn't have any place in science.
Not an issue of whether it's a popular opinion or not, it's a useless opinion. You can't change the fact that the 2nd Iraq war was started, so stop bitching about it.
Never mind the fact that nobody would want to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on equipment from a foreign supplier that could be shut down remotely by that foreign power.
What satellite photos are you expecting to see? The US military satellites whose images are classified? Or were you expecting the cable networks to somehow turn their broadcast satellites into spy satellites? You're a total asshat.
The average global temperature is rising is settled? Uh, no, sorry, it's not settled at all. First of all, we have scarce data for the temperature of the oceans. What little data we have comes from the ARGO global array, and that only measures the top layer of the oceans. The UK Met Office EN3 subsurface ocean temperature data shows a decline in heat from 2003 to 2013. So that means the deep oceans would need to be warming in order to compensate for the surface cooling we've measured. However, we don't have any measurements of deep ocean temperatures, which leaves your claim of global temperature rising to be unfounded.
First off, the F-35 has forced China and Russia to commit a large amount of time and resources to try and counter it's superiority. From an economic standpoint, if you're forcing potential enemies to dedicate time and resources to try and counter your technology, it's a win. Secondly, just because Russia and China are able to develop technology to detect it doesn't mean it's useless. There are numerous other potential uses that don't involve Russian and Chinese radar.
so the population of Gaza has grown from under 600k people when Israel first took over in 1967 to over 1.8 million today. Not a very successful genocide....the Nazi's actually managed to reduce the total population of Jews during their time in power.
Hmm....highway melted due to forest fire correlates to weather temperatures?*
Current temperature in Sachs Harbour, NT is 2, compared to the normal range of 3 to 11 for this time of year. Source: https://weather.gc.ca/city/pag...
Yellowknife, on the other hand, is 21, at the upper end of the normal range of 13 to 21 for this time of year. Source: https://weather.gc.ca/city/pag...
Norman Wells, which lies about an equal distance between the two, is 17 where normal range is 11 to 23. Source: https://weather.gc.ca/city/pag...
Whati, which is relatively close to Yellowknife, is at 17 where the normal range is 12 to 22. Source: https://weather.gc.ca/city/pag...
So unless today is much cooler across NT than at the time of your posting, it seems the region is well within normal bounds overall (based on small sample size of 4), with only Yellowknife reporting a high in the upper bounds of normal. It also seems that the north end of the territory is actually pushing the boundaries of unusually cold, while the southern most region is in the upper half of normal.
*Drought is not necessarily a result of warmer atmosphere. It's even possible that the extremely long and cold winter is the cause of the drought. Delays in melting of snow in the higher altitude regions results in a decline and/or delay in spring flooding. Manitoba is currently experiencing a very late seasonal flood for this reason too.
How is it that we're into July and there is still ice on Lake Superior....the entire great lake system is colder than average...antarctic sea ice has just set a new record....and personal anecdotal evidence is a very cool start to Ontario summer. Personally, I find it hard to believe....
You know what the 5th is, right? From Wikipedia: The Fifth Amendment protects individuals from being forced to incriminate themselves. Incriminating oneself is defined as exposing oneself (or another person) to "an accusation or charge of crime,"
Your conclusion that " If pleading the Fifth were considered evidence of guilt, it'd be completely useless." is wrong. Clearly, by it's nature, the 5th is an indicator of a wrongdoing.
I apologize for my last reply. I agree with you that Bush put people he preferred into the DOJ with political opinions oriented to his. But that's exactly what happens with every administration, so I assumed you were putting up a "Ya, but Bush!" argument to downplay the seriousness of the IRS becoming politically oriented.
Wow, you clearly aren't following the facts in this story at all, or you're wearing your Democrat polarizing glasses. First, I don't watch fox news because I don't get fox news. I live in Canada, and don't subscribe to your fantasy world of Democrats good - Republicans bad. They're all politicians, therefore they're all liars motivated by self-interest. That being said, there's no doubt that the IRS has been steered to target potential Republican funding sources. Lerner pleaded the 5th for a reason. You don't need to do that if you didn't do anything wrong. But please, just for the record, explain why the IRS did nothing wrong, this is not a scandal, but Lerner needed to plead the 5th anyway.

switch providers. Problem solved.
The sad part of it is, they're likely getting funding for this silly experiment....

Please stop throwing about the claim of "genocide". You're insulting all those that actually suffered through a real episode of genocide.
