I am not discarding evidence or disregarding science. I think people who write posts like yours just aren't willing to read / consider the opposing point of view. There is lots of credible science that disproves the man made global warming hypothesis. And I look at things like the email release from North Anglia and the continued editing of the historical data by NOAA as confirming data sources.
ROFL you say they aren't accurate, but they are more accurate than the land based data sets because the data hasn't be tweaked six ways from Sunday to make things appear warmer.
I am a strident skeptic, but am interested in your statement that warming will reduce Arctic Ice while increasing antarctic ice. Do you have a link that could explain that to me?
No, not really... The satellite record shows no warming for the last 17 years. So no there isn't current warming happening. The other data sources have all been proven to have been adjusted to the point of untrustworthy.
Yes the raw data is available, and the raw satellite data shows no warming for the last 17 years. GISS has been proven again and again to have been adjusted so that the past appears cooler and the present appears warmer. So when the OP says that raw data disproves this what he links to is not raw data, it is the data adjusted by GISS programs.
You do realize that in the book any kind of civil service qualified you for citizenship. They even went so fast as to try and discourage people from the military side ox service.
You are both wrong. Current government income is at or close to an all time high. We aren't broke, we just are spending too much. And look at the times when the high bracket tax rates were higher -- revenue was down. Raising taxes only increases revenue for a year or two at the end of which people have adjusted their actions to the new rates to avoid payments.
Modern unions have outlived their usefulness. I agree there was worker mistreatment at the hands of employers, and if that kind of mistreatment returns, then bring back the unions. Currently they are just leeches sucking the lifeblood out of the workers they are supposedly in place to protect.
you are foolish if you think just in terms of pump price. Look at the average wage for unskilled labor in North Dakota. This boombis not just affecting a few.
First Aid of all that is the job of the House of Representatives. According to the constitution authority to spend MUST originate in the house. If the shoe was on the other foot and a Republican Senate and President had passed a law that say authorized the FBI to actively prosecute abotion doctors wouldn't you want the democratically controlled house to shut down the government to prevent enactment of that law?
Second, the house is passing funding bills that say nothing about Obamacare. Bills to fund the parks department and the NIS. But the democrats refuse to even consider these, because they want the public to suffer through the shutdown. Because they feel the Republicans will suffer more backlash than they will.
Note from TFA that the disagreement that Senator Cruz had with the bill was that he and the House supported the version of the bill that said that the money from Helium sales should go to defecit reduction and the bill that passed that he voted against had the money going for national parks and "environmental issues."
That's a fallacy. It means that those people who aren't courteous enough (bad guys) to be polite for the right reasons will be polite because they have to be.
Since everything else seems to have gone in the shitter, I come back to you with a message that seemed to sell well in both campaigns: the environment.
I look forward to again gaining your broad support with a campaign of platitudes, anthemic one-word slogans, and statements that make me appear sympathetic to your issues, while actually resulting in policies that either ossify the current corporation-based lobbyist-driven structure, or expand the pervasive control of the Federal government ostensibly for good reasons but which will in fact be used to incrementally decrease your rights vis a vis that "Constitution" thingy, which I will continue to re-interpret as really not relevant to today's realities anyway.
The parent here isn't a troll either -- please people just because you don't agree with an opinion doesn't mean you should mod it as troll!
That said it is a leveling off of the warming accompanied with a steadily increasing CO2 that is causing the heartache. This doesn't "prove" that AGW is a farce as many are saying, but it does raise a lot of questions. None of this levelling was predicted by the current models, even the head of the IPCC agrees that the models need to be re-worked. So if heating is caused by the increase in CO2, where is the heat going? What other mitigating factors are there that aren't being factored into the models?
Actually it was done because they were about to lose the 60th vote in the Senate and so had to cram it through before they lost the ability to go against the will of the people and pass it.
It does go a little deeper than that. Not only do they need proof of insurance they need to know the relative value of the policy so they can tax you accordingly.

Lol what about the supporters of AGW -- everyone ignores that none -- that is correct 0% of their predictions have come true.

Funny. I feel that environmental issues is political speak for putting money into pork projects like Solyndra.

I agree!
Because it is the right thing to do?
This would be one of the few times that I agree with the 9th circuit, and I'm not that far left. Maybe SC will leave this one be.
problem is in the article they are talking about scaling beyond a few terawatts world wide.
umm except they are doing both. Look up Quantitative Easing 1, 2, and 3 several trillion dollars printed over the last 5 years.
Except that separate trust fund is empty ... has been for years because the congress stole the money and replaced it with IOU's.
The reason minimum-wage jobs are like that is more than likely because of raises to the minimum wage.
