Kinda like the whole story that focuses on one area of a continent instead of the whole continent and uses that as proof the whole continent it that way even when it is measured that it is not. The area they always use is a unstable part of Antarctica. Using it as the model for the whole continent is like using a desert to judge the state of the continent. The whole article is a garbage piece and an example of how low the AGW people will go to keep the money rolling, bending the very science they claim as "FACT!" or "indisputable".
THEY HAVE THE WORST OVER ALL!!!! There are lots of cities in china where the smog is so thick it looks like fog, fog that really never goes away. When it does it's considered RARE. You can taste the air, with a sulfur like taste to it. You sometimes can't see across the street. They have to hold flights regularly at major airport in China because smog has decrease visibility too much. Beijing's air is measured 16 times MORE polluted then New York's. 16 of the 20 worst air polluted cities are in China. I don't have to draw conclusions when the facts say so. That's like saying it's my conclusion that water is wet, ice is cold, and fire is hot.
I think you are reading some reports from around the time the Olympics were in Beijing, the same reports that were proven to be bogus, and falsified to secure the Olympics for China.
No it doesn't. It's factually wrong. China is THE WORST AIR QUALITY of the major nations. Like I said, the sun looks like the moon through the smog and you can stare directly at ti for a bit without getting sun spots in your eyes. My lens is reality, whats yours?
Really, they could give two shits about it. Much like the games in Beijing, it just one big PR move after another. It's all to keep the companies that have set up shop there and have been called out for profiting off such a polluting country.
Maybe they see it as the scam it is?? For all the money spend what is the returns? I'm not talking about cleaning our waterways and areas, those always fell under pollution. Climate change is it's own monster that was cooked up by those looking to capitalize off it. Even Al Gore's mentor, the supposed god father of green house gases, reversed his stance on the subject in the later years of his life. How did Gore accept this? By calling him senile. Can't stop the gravy train.
With all the wrong models, manipulated temperatures, falsifying of facts, how can anyone take this seriously? Really, all the info is out there. The same people that claim it's "science" don't want a thing to do with the facts in the matter. If you are such a patron of science then why would you accept stats that are micro managed and manipulated to get an outcome worse then what the facts show? Look up how the "97%" figure is really reached. Look up how temperatures are manipulated. Really, it's become beyond the level of religious zealotry as people now a days can ever admit they are wrong. They try to link everything to climate change, even earth quakes as if we have a bunch of idiots that would even think the two could even be closely related. Reality, history and SCIENCE tell us that they are not even closely related other then an earthquake does have an effect on the environment of the areas they occur in.
While I agree with the nuclear plants being shit on by misinformation and political corruption, China is about the worst model when it comes to clean air. The sun looks like the moon in almost all cities in China because of smog.
Science is changing every environmental measurement scale to make things seem more extreme? Look that up. Tornadoes and hurricanes now have factored in the amount of damage they do. So a F3 tornado on the old scale becomes a F5 because it hits a more heavily populated area. Same with earthquake scales. Now winter storms are receiving names even though I remember storms just as bad in my youth, now they are "extreme!!!" Tropical storms are now "SUPERSTORMS!!!". The kicker is we are less then a year past the IPCC models to be proven wrong and they still are hammering home that their prediction are still correct even though there was scientific proof that no significant warming to place in the last 15+ years. You can't tout science till it doesn't agree with your stance because it makes you a hypocrite and makes the people that ignore it seem like they are out for money and nothing else. I was like the CC community touting Gore as the messiah till his hypocritical action were pointed out, then it was "well he isn't really a scientist, and he doesn't stand for all CC believers". I akin it to fans of certain baseballers not wanting to admit the players they are big fans of did steroids to reach the level they did.
Couldn't it also be the camera and senor light that usually accompany these? It my area they have put these everywhere and I would have to say they are a utter failure. For one they have increased traffic, making "catching the light" next to impossible on most roads. Second, they changed the cycle of the lights to where one direction has a green and the opposite will have a red with no indication to the motorist on the red light side, especially the ones pulling out of corner gas stations and stores, that on coming traffic has a green light. I see at least 3 near hits a week at one on my drive in to work each morning and considering how close it's to the intersection, I would say it would be considered a intersection incident. Third, timing these lights is next to impossible. One close to my house when they first put it in would stay red for the more busy street for over 3 minutes (Once timed it at 4 minutes and 10 seconds early in the morning). When it was messed up I would see 5 to 6 people a week get tired of waiting and blow the red. Heck I did it more then once. So coming to one of these light, you never know when it's going to change. When there was no sensor or cameras, then timing the lights that were on a set timer was a lot easier. Now? Next to impossible.
Maverick was around before the pinto and was actually quite a good running car and cheap to maintain. Once the car was made in BRAZIL, no models of it were sold in the US.
Yes, if they block all 20 of the approved contraceptives covered. The blocked 4........Woopde fucking do......Thank you for getting stirred up on media hype and misinformation.
Who exactly didn't know this? It was common knowledge that Mazda was 4 cylinder building engines for Ford everywhere in Michigan. Heck they had a plant in Michigan that was a Mazda plant that built only Ford engines for a while. The Numi plant in California was a Toyota/GM(Pontiac) plant till Pontiac ceased to be and that was no secret. I don't recall any of that being "hidden" or misrepresented in any way. It's been out there for a while. If you as a consumer didn't pick up on it or missed it, then that's your deal. You also have it pretty wrong in regards to who "built" the cars. Components of the cars were done by other manufacturers, but final assembly was done by the actual maker of the cars unless you are talking about europe. In the state, even in the Numi plant, Toyota workers built the Toyota and Pontiac workers built the Pontiac.
I think, considering they have been making cars for a LONG time, automakers have all the reason in the world to blow off google. It would be like patient telling a Doctor what technique he should use for an operation.
Never been observed? The story says it's been observed for years. Didn't you RTFA? Also, the average ocean temp is about 1 degrees higher then it was in 1880, so I am going to have to doubt that a penguins sense of temp is so sensitive that it can pick up as much as a 1/2 a degree of temp change.
If I had mod points I would give them to you. You have proven me wrong that every poster on this subject on slashdot is completely lemminged in to believing net neutrality is a good thing. It will cripple all our speeds and destroy competition in the ISP marketplace.
Why should Apple or any other US company be responsible to "pump money in the the (world) lower class"? Is Toyota or Sony pumping money in to the US lower class?
The measured rate of rise has been averaged out at 1.1 millimeters per year, so who in their right mind with the credentials to back it up would predict 20cm by 2100? Desperate people trying to keep the funding going and con people in to dumping billions on the study and "solution" to it. With all the money that has been spent on global warming/climate change with little to no results do they think the American public will keep pushing billions their way with no results? The whole thing reminds me of a gambler that has "a sure thing" bet on some team or something.
At peak times netflix accounts for 30% of all traffic on the internet. It isn't like there is a magical bandwidth fairy that can up the capacity of a ISP's network the second it gets taxed. I think the whole idea of net neutrality and a more free, open internet are total opposites. And since when did the internet become a fundamental right of all US citizens?
Shockingly, with all the NSA issues that have abounded over the last year, why would anyone think getting the government involved would led to more open and free anything?
The reporter has a massive slant and I suspect a political agenda when he slams the DCI group as "infamous". Clearly he is a democrat that wants to demonize all things corporate and all things Republican.
I am surprised more do not see the whole "net neutrality" thing for what it really is. Content providers don't want to pay for the bandwidth they use to make money on. It would also, much like current "regulated" utilities create a monopoly were price would be controlled and competition would be none. That's way all these companies don't want this because they do not want to be locked out of markets where regulation would decide who the "main" providers are.
What exactly do I do "Chris" when I have 5 or 6 people pulling 2 and 3GB cad files down from the cloud and it cripples every person on the network? Had a company we do work for tell us that all work would have to be done through a cloud feature in the software we use, with all it being saved back to their servers. When we starting asking questions on bandwidth and testing, it broke down quickly to it being a bad idea from a "cad administrator" in the company.

then why hasn't your original post been modded down for the bullshit in it?

The worst ideas start with "think of the children" because it invokes bad and hasty ideas with rational thinking taking a back seat

You had me till you pointed to carbon taxes as a proven technique. Carbon tax is a money scam and the is easily proven.

Apparently it's not the current environment they are worried about?

OK, and this is part of climate change how? They have done it for years, but now it's part of "climate change"?

If Glen Greenwald is involved in the story, then it's ALL for show.
