  6. Re:The story is far over-hyped on Arctic Ice Extent Understated Because of "Sensor Drift" · · Score: 1

    They did indeed predict less and less ice, but that isn't happening.

    Over the last ten years "climate scientists" have been turning out useless models and making predictions that have failed to materialize, they've changed their tune from "more precipitation" to "less precipitation" to "more in some places less in others" "bigger hurricanes" etc. etc. A climate scientist is just someone who wants funding to make models to make policies, no more and no less. They are a money sewer; junk science.

    of course there's a logical explanation. Linus took another much older OS called Minix written by a cranky old C.S. prof and changed the M to an L and an i to a u, and then distracted the professor with a meaningless and pointless argument about kernel architecture. Even after the Dr. found out about his former student's shameless plagiarism, he was just mostly relieved to find out that long haired dope smoking hippie Berkeley types would now target Linus' work with their "improvements" instead of "always trying to make my Minix into some kind of faggot BSD".

    Linux unsuccessfully tried to compete with Microsoft on the desktop, until the KDE 4.x window manager managed to trump Vista in complexity, distracting eye candy, user confusion, bugginess and bloat.

    wasn't talking about A satellite or even a few, but ALL. Being severly near-blinded in our global monitoring capability, the only possible valid assumption U.S. could make in that case is that nuclear strike by China was next.

    wrong, blowing ALL our satellites up could only be interpreted as precursor to chinese nuclear strike. Your imagined body count in that scenario is low, over a billion would die. your Flexible Response would apply to destruction of one or a few satellites, perhaps. sorry.
