It's more like - people with good or bad traits saw Hillary for what she really was and voted for the lesser of two evils.
The years-long interrogations and insinuations by Republicans -- resulting in no actionable charges of any wrongdoing -- that Hillary was corrupt and evil didn't help peoples' perceptions of her. And *regardless* of how one might think about that and her, objectively she was -- by far -- the more qualified candidate for the office of President. Trump has pulled a lot of shady stuff during his business career and I would wager that Trump has told more lies during his candidacy and time as President than Hillary has told throughout her entire life -- or they both may be a tie:-) Sure they both have a LOT of baggage, but Trump is a dumpster fire of a person with no moral compass, and I don't know if he's really the "lesser of two evils". But, more to your point, and from a purely practical standpoint, the Democrats would have fared much better pushing a candidate other than Hillary through to the end.

Imagine if the Sun's output is also not static or constant...
So your theory is that changes in the Sun's output are causing the recent rise in temperature?
1. What happened to the warming that should have occurred (and was predicted to occur) due to increases in greenhouse gases?
2. Where is the observational data to evidence your theory?
I think he did daily measurements at Noon and Midnight for quite some time... The Sun was "hot" at Noon and "cold" at Midnight - so not static.
In my country the temperature varies from -30 C in winter, and +30 C in summer.
If the themperatures chang in the future to -29 C in winter, and +31 C in summer. Why should this change the climate so much as it is claimed, when there is already a 60 C change year around?? I call BS on the climatechange.
This lake is almost always covered in ice year round and, from 2007 to 2012 had a mean summer temperatures of -4.9C. The increase in temperature is warming and melting the surrounding permafrost, which drains into the lake, raising both its level and temperature... This affects the algae and fish in the lake, which affects the people that fish the lake -- as well as everything downstream.
A decrease in seasonal ice cover resulted in warming of surface waters and, more importantly, allowed planktonic algae to fill a niche which was previously climatically inaccessible, re-organizing the ecology of the lake at the base of the foodweb.
Collectively, rising air temperatures, increasing glacial melt and runoff, decreasing summer lake ice cover, shifts in primary producer communities and declining fish condition demonstrate the coupling between watershed changes and in-lake conditions and processes.
This vast, deep lake, the High Arctic’s largest freshwater ecosystem, has experienced drastic changes in the last decade, despite its volume, thermal inertia and hypothesized resilience to climate change.
Such changes, and their consequences, are certain to increase further as warming of northern latitudes continues into the future, undoubtedly jeopardizing the security of traditional freshwater foods and other ecosystem services for northern Indigenous peoples throughout the Arctic.
CEOs are often surrounded by sycophants. Much like a king's court, they serve to filter the information that reaches the ruler. And often, particularly if they have their own agenda, they can steer decisions to suit themselves.

And by "data" they mean "information" and by "share" they mean "sell" -- if that wasn't actually clear. So, that settles that. Thanks Sheryl.
Hasn't it already been tested and settled (in the US) as a First Amendment right? People are free to photograph and shoot video of public spaces that have no expectation of privacy. Planet Earth: pretty public.
Sure, they have the right to take photos and videos, but not broadcast / transmit them (at the power required to do so from orbit, anyway) - that requires a license.
Update: Facebook has just announced that it will give all users an option to unsend messages.
An option to unsend all the data they've collected from us through third-parties, especially people w/o Facebook accounts (you know, the ones with "shadow profiles")...

If 95% of the people "have a problem", can you really be considered normal?
Way more people are dead than alive. Perhaps the former is the "normal" state. :-)

It's research for a new movie, "Broke Bike Mountain View".
I see lots of electric rental bikes in Europe. They all have a dock, so they can get charged up. Dockless bike = dead battery?
Dockless bikes get their batteries charged while the users pedal.
The "Uber for" moniker is used to describe gig economy stuff where you're workers are paid piecemeal instead of in wages & benefits.
So we can now refer to prostitution as "Uber for Dates".

Are you just figuring that out Steve or were you once okay with that arrangement and have since soured on it?

From: Lake Hazen
Although air temperatures in this area often rise above 10C in July and August, Lake Hazen remains ice covered in most years.
From the actual study in Nature The world’s largest High Arctic lake responds rapidly to climate warming. (linked in the TFA):
A decrease in seasonal ice cover resulted in warming of surface waters and, more importantly, allowed planktonic algae to fill a niche which was previously climatically inaccessible, re-organizing the ecology of the lake at the base of the foodweb.
Collectively, rising air temperatures, increasing glacial melt and runoff, decreasing summer lake ice cover, shifts in primary producer communities and declining fish condition demonstrate the coupling between watershed changes and in-lake conditions and processes.

I would hardly refer to some pundit on youtube who talks about "fake news" as a purveyor of "actual facts". "Alternative facts" (lies) perhaps.
Right. We refer to The President on Twitter for that ...
