Although 14 of the 15 warmest years on record have occurred in the last 100 years,
by what readings ???
and how is the data abstracted?
technical instruments are much more reliable now then they were 100 years ago, at best our theories on the temperature globally is only a few hundred years going back, and only the last 50 years or so are accurate enough for scientific discussions
anything further back is simply an educated guess.
you say 14 of the last 15 months are the hottest on record... but when the records are only reliable to 50 years without crazy models, its not saying much
But the modelers argue that this really wasn't a failure, because their predictions served as worst-case scenarios that mobilized international efforts.
so.... how about those climate models out there????
the funny thing is the people who complain about this (rightfully so) are the same ones that would call me a racist for saying learn english here in america
cant really find any reason to disagree with that assessment. yeah the system is hard on them (for this 3 race period)
Im just getting tired of PETA and its supporters(not that i have any idea if OP is involved, just sayin) thinking anything that involves an animal = abuse when the facts are the people making those claims, tend to have no clue whats actually in the animals best interest
horses are not intended to sit around all day, they actually enjoy doing work/getting a workout. just like your yellow lab would much rather be out playing catch with you than sitting in a crate all day
accidents happen. its never good when it does, but it hardly means that we should stop racing them
if you feel that way, go talk to people who own and work horses. you will quickly find out that generally they treat their animals better than most people treat their own kids these days. I know a number of farm owners and horse trainers/breeders and man those horses are PAMPERED

fair enough but it goes to my point. we really cannot be sure if this information is even true.
by that logic, so is everything else in the universe. therefore why do anything?
sun does actually have a lot to do with the wind. with the heating and cooling cycles and all
In my county in England there is not a single place you can stand and not see a wind turbine.
you say this as if its a good thing. When I am out enjoying nature, I cant stand to see power lines let alone noisy wind turbines.

we put all our faith in computer models these days that we sometimes forget that computers are not smart. they are only as smart as the data its fed.

they still do wind testing

i think its already called "american-english"
im not sure that a 30 second ad every few hours is worth 15 bucks a month. for me its not, for most people i know its not.
are we really that short on attention spans than we cant handle a 30 second ad...if it means saving $$180 a year?

legally? pandora, spotify and many many others. then there are torrents
apple is aware of this place called the internet right????
I mean when you have FREE services out there why would you spend 15 bucks a month?
Didnt they learn from Jay-Z???

no leisure suit larry??
you forget that clinton actually had (at least one) chance to take out bin laden, he admits this much himself.... but didnt

citations? because doping horses is and has been illegal for quite some time
Im sure it happens, but to claim it to be the norm is disingenuous
these people have millions invested in their horses. they get the best food, the best vet care and live a pampered life.
If you have as much money tied into them, what would you do? abuse your animal or pamper it??
