    Humans can see if there's a gap in the road. They can see if the road has moved. They can judge unusual conditions.

    It could also be a result of increased biomass eating up more CO2. Someone needs to compare biomass via satellite mapping with the usage levels of natural gas, wood, coal and oil.

    This is based on emissions data. Not atmospheric concentration.

    I heat my house with incandescent bulbs. Until LED's can do the same thing, I will never switch. What kind of an idiot would switch to a less efficient method of lighting AND heating their house?

    Huh? Where is "hate speech" defined in the Constitution? Hint.. It's not. This video does NOT depict speech that is illegal.

    Which is why nobody was arrested

    Only that people are free to SAY (or even publish) just about anything, including this drivel, as a matter of law.


    Yes, they are allowed to say whatever they want. And this univiersity has the right to tell them it's unacceptable and revoke their frat priveleges.

    As soon as the regulations are available, search them for terms like âoehate speechâ and "disparate impact." This will be a mass of restrictions, requirements, taxes, subsidies, and pay-offs to favored groups.

    Exactly, my Title II regulated Phone line is constantly being censored.

    I wonder how much funding George Soros and his cronies have into this now?

    We could look into that. But according to you (here) it would be a witch hunt. So I guess we can't look into conflicts of interest.

    OK, let me get this straight. The dumb, uneducated, poor, largely minority backwoods state of Mississippi has the highest vaccination rate in the country. Sounds good so far.

    Well, they are trying to loosen Measles vaccination requirements in the middle of the two biggest Measles outbreaks in the last 50 years. That doesn't scream intelligence to me....
