Climate models predict that injecting more energy (temperature) into the system results in bigger and more frequent hurricanes that can cause more damage.
Where are the actual measurements that haven't been edited or interpreted that support this. I'm asking for the actual data, not conclusive studies of the data.
"warnings of hundreds of billions of dollars a year in global warming costs is pretty much on the money. Just look at last year with Hurricanes Harvey."
Hurricanes are not a function of global warming -- they've been occurring at least since 1970 during the liberals last climate crisis: the ice age. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.... What Donald Trump is saying is that he doesn't believe the premises that the report, calculations, and conclusions are based on. There is no credible evidence (scientific though is opinion not evidence) that a rise in the temperature correlates to a rise in the number of hurricanes without the caveat of made-up data, mis-measured data, corrected data, calibrated data, or paid political bias or any of the excuses the media makes for their poor technology.
Whomever wrote the post has some other agenda. The executive order doesn't state the Dept of Treasury can seize property without due process -- it states that the Dept of Treasury can block the transaction or transfer of property from anyone with in the United States who they believe is subverting economic or policital reconstruction in Iraq. "Seizure" and "Block the Transaction of" are two very different animals.

The title of the Slashdot post is "Puncturing the 'PCs Are Cheaper Than Macs' Myth." The by-line of the Computer World article eludes to the fact that "sometimes" Macs are less expensive that PC's. The analysis takes one specific Mac, uses it as a baseline, finds PC's that at least meet that baseline, and describe only the price difference when they are more expensive.
Basing a broad conclusion on statistics of a survey that doesn't represent the population is called a Hasty Generalization -- a logical fallacy. The original article and Slashdot story were was disingenuous apriori and I was a little bit of Satire to point that fact out.:)
I can find some foreign cars that are "sometimes" cheaper than a set of similarly-equiped roller-skates (four wheels, manual transmission, sun-roof, and 2x55 air conditioning) -- but then I'd just be stuck with a cheap foreign car instead of some k-kiddie-kool skates, which is what I really want.
I can run FireFox just as fast and secure on my $650 low-end laptop as I can on a $3,000 PowerBook. I have just as much storage on gmail with my low-end laptop as I do when I log in on my PowerBook. Believe it or not, Open Office actually runs more reliably on my cheap laptop than it does on my expensive PowerBook.
Why do I need to spend an extra $2,350 for a PowerBook again?
Children have parents for thoughts, protections, and random governance. Legislators like to target children because as a voting block, none of them (0%) of them vote along with 67% of their parents who can't be bothered with something so archaic as voting.
Some quick math reveals that only 33% of the country's population is interested enough in our policies to vote. Assuming there are two sides to every policy (for and against), legislators know they only have to appeal to 16% of the freaky people motivated enough to vote:)

Stop wasting our time with the FUD.
