No duh.
The communication device in your pocket is a TWO-WAY radio.
If you want to be able to talk to the world, expect the world know where you are so the world can listen.
Of course the cell phone provider knows where you are; they have to literally beam a signal to you.
So, no duh they know where you are, they have to.
Science is not based on consensus.
You do not get to vote on the truth
Here are some "facts? based on consensus"
The sky is blue; no it is not.
The earth is round; no it is not.
It is hotter than it has ever been; no it is not.
It is colder than it has ever been; no it is not.
The temperature of the Pacific Ocean is hotter than it has ever been in the last 5000 years.
How do you take the temperature of 20million cubic miles of fluid?
The Earth is a dynamic system, heated by a thermonuclear fusion engine literally 1million times bigger than the planet.
A belch of volcano gas is has a greater affects than mankind in upseting the balance of airflow and heat absorbption.
We live in the 3mile skin of an 8000mile ball.
I remind you of the parable of the elephant and the 5 blind men:
One man in the Himalayas notices to ice sheet getting smaller and declares Global Warming.
One man in Antarctica notices the ice sheet getting thicker and declares Global Cooling.
One man on the north side of an island notices the beach disappearing and declares the oceans are rising.
One man on the south end of the island notices the beach is increasing and declares the oceans are receding.
One man notices that it is the hottest summer on "record" and declares Global Warming.
One man notices the same year that his summer is the coldest on record and declares Global Cooling.
All are true
For you to "believe" that you matter, you affect the planet, shows how self-important you are, how little you understand.
We literally are a speck on a rock next to an ocean. In comparable size, we are an anthill on the football(or soccer) field.
Even if we tried, we do not affect the outcome of the game.
Insurance companies are in the business to make money.
If an insurance company can convince people that the threat is greater, then they can raise rate above their expected coverage amount and therefore make even more money.
Disaster Insurance companies are not altruistic.
If I were an Insurance Company, I would wholeheartedly support the Global Warming crowd, for it creates fear of disaster, and fear is what drives you to buy insurance.
No duh.
My phone touch screen is difficult to use.
When Capacitive-Touch works it works well but there is always limitations.
Gloves, calluses, skinny vegetarians and calibration all give Capacitive-Touch big problems.
To be successful in the car, buttons must be the size of coffee cups.
And you gotta have positive feedback on select that works for everyone (blind, deaf and any other lack of human sense).
Yes, blind people do ride in cars and may be asked to press a button.

Methane leaks in the Atlantic ocean floor, I blame Al Gore. This is clearly due to Global Warming.

Not realizing the profit motive is ironic.
