Its not clear yet what exactly the effect of CO2 is. Compare the last 100 yrs of CO2 to the last 100 years of temperature. The curves are not the same shape.
So? There's random events which can cause blips - volcanic eruptions, terrorist attacks causing 'planes to be grounded, etc.
Do the overall trends match? Yes.
Does the theory of greenhouse gases predict this? Yes.
It's not a big, complex theory with many variables/unknowns: Atmospheric CO2 traps infra-red waves from the sun, infra red equals heat. More CO2=more heat.
The amount of CO2 is precisely measurable and quantifiable. Result: It's rising.
This fits the observations like "green belt moving north".
The only thing left is to figure out when the ice will melt.
I understand the sentiment but speeding is not an "often harmless" infraction. It endagers yourself and those around you. (Semantics about whether the speed limits are set at the right level or not are here as well, but still).
I'd say that driving at a different speed than those around you is what causes accidents, not speed in itself.
Left to their own devices, most drivers will drive at a speed which makes sense for the road conditions, etc.
It's the other few that cause the problems. The fines should be for "going 20% faster than everybody else"
there can be an exodus to Canada, while in Russia, Siberia and the Russian Arctic will start getting populated. In the meantime, North Africa, Middle East, India and South East Asia can all go underwater.
Huh? Depth of water isn't related to latitude. Water will rise in the North, too.
I'm one of those that owns a lot of property in the north. That means in 100 years my grandkids will be sitting on a epic goldmine of realestate that all the people fleeing the new desert in the south will want to live. $1,000,000 an acre Bidding starts on the next heat wave.
The economic downturn that happens before the mass migration will wipe out any profits through uncontrolled inflation. That $1,000,000 will be worth about $1000 in a couple of months.
Plus, don't be surprised if the government declares an emergency and takes your land by force. If the rioters don't shoot you first.
The original horse use to set the standard was a pit pony - very small so that they could go down coal mines (which was the environment where the people who invented steam engines lived/worked).
I don't understand the attraction of those old IBMish keyboards. You wore out your fingers with all the pressure they take to type on, and you feel self conscious typing on them because they're so noisy. What really is the attraction?
So this is all garbage science? Or is it science that reaches a conclusion you don't agree with?
a) Two studies in countries where AIDS is prevalent, personal hygiene non-existent and they rape babies to try and cure themselves of VD. b) The best the studies can show is a 0.005% reduction in AIDS transmission
I counter with: a) Have you looked at the chances of a botched circumcision leading to lifelong problems enjoying sex? It's about one in a hundred. b) The anti-masturbation treatment started by Dr Kellogg (aka "circumcision") was designed to reduce pleasure in sex/masturbation. Every wank, every boink enjoyed by a non-cut male is better than the circumcised equivalent. Think about that for a moment. c) Why aren't the entire first world's dicks dropping off if all you say is true?
Flipping through Spanish TV channels in the hope of seeing naked women is the most mind-numbing way I can imagine of finding 'porn'.
Who are you trying to fool? Just admit to yourself you really want is porn, then watch porn. It's not difficult. You might even find something to your own personal taste.
They may have a point. It's hard to turn on the TV in Spain after 11pm without seeing women in a state of undress or being "sexualized" in some way (even if it's only getting some bimbo to express her views on society so they can mock her).
I'm all for pornography/eroticism, but there's no need for that...

On average, volcanoes are insignificant compared to human CO2 emissions.

If you're driving so fast towards a traffic light that you can't stop in twenty yards without screeching the tires, you're doing it wrong, yes.
Unluckily for us, most of the world's ice isn't floating in the sea.
(Greenland, Antarctic...)

Is there any space left for more nails in this coffin? Pretty soon there'll be more nails than wood.
WTF.

This.
The ad blockers aren't blocking your site, they're blocking the external sites which serve up random eye-distractions and viruses.
Wouldn't it be best to leave the Apollo landing site - even the footprints - alone for posterity?
"Site"?
Did you know there's more than one?
Maybe they could leave Apollo 11 alone but Apollos 15-17? Can you even name the pilots...?
Well, they don't have to roll over and obliterate them, do they?
Would be nice to see some of those artifacts filmed in modern high-definition colour.
I wonder if it would shut up the moon hoax idiots.
Nah.
Watch the video, what do you think?

You probably think Apple makes nice computers.
You're buying a model M and you're worried about dimensions?
Maybe you're not in the target demographic. Just sayin'.
Would you post your real details if you were bragging on the 'net about something worth millions of dollars on eBay?

This is garbage science, just as credible as the studies 100 years ago, done by white "scientists", that proved whites were the superior race.
The Bible happened in the Middle East. Baby Jesus was a towel-headed darkie.
If you're getting paid per circumcision then borderline science (statistical noise) often looks favorable.

It's done so you'll stop there long enough see a beer advert when you're mindlessly flipping through the channels.
The problem appears later on, when women try to get themselves taken more seriously then the 'norm' created by the beer-swillers.
Ask a waitress about this problem. Any waitress will do.
I can tell you're not a smart, good looking woman who's looking for a job.
Yep, it says "in the media".
They may have a point. It's hard to turn on the TV in Spain after 11pm without seeing women in a state of undress or being "sexualized" in some way (even if it's only getting some bimbo to express her views on society so they can mock her).

which begs the question: "Has there been a shift towards militarized police?"
When they have their own tanks? I think the answer might be "yes".
