Figure out a way to trick them in to using copyrighted material and sit back while they are banished from the internet with DMCA take down notices! Blam, you're welcome.
No, I would say that the dumbing down of the entire world has taken place. I think it's done on purpose, as some believe a dumb society is easier to fool and rule. I also believe people accept things at face value and discount the facts surrounding things even when the facts points to the conclusion being incorrect. Our education systems don't tell students to question anything any more, which stifles progression and innovation. That with the addition of copyrights being applied in fanatical ways and we get what we have, a growing population that questions nothing and accepts being treated like criminals or second class citizens, all while chanting the mantra of their oppressors.
Oh hey, now the temp in the US IS representative of the entire world? Funny, the last two years when we had record cold the cult of climate change claimed that the US temps didn't represent the overall temperature of the world, local not global I think I recall the rally cry to be. But now since it's warm it's "FUD!!" time? You'll have to excuse me, I am an educated free thinking person with common sense that actually looks at facts and can spot hypocrisy. Probably why I am not much for religion.
Yep and the media is A SMALL PART of the overall population. So if the media is misinformed so much, then does that mean that the climate change isn't really happening or that they are wrong about it being so dire? Cause last time I check the media is "all in" on climate change. So which is it then? They went to the same schools, schools that push climate changes as "fact!" and ignore data like I posted. Can't be both ways, of course unless you're a hypocrite? Or is it that "you don't really seem to understand that."?
The story talked about the media getting it wrong, not every day people. How the hell is your comment "insightful" in any way when you used it as a sounding board to claim people are ignoring "actual data" on global warming? (course I thought it was climate change still when the "data" didn't reflect the name) What about the "facts" on the warmest year every claim? Satellite temps ignored (which I am pretty sure is data and science all in one) NASA saying it has a 38% chance of being right (that's not even 50/50, which is rather shitty odds on it's own) or that the.02 Celsius warmer had a tolerance of ±.1 degree. So are we to ignore math and how it work to and accept flawed data that is pretty clear to see in just the publishing of the facts surrounding it?
So I find it funny that you are calling people out for the same exact thing you seem to be doing. Hey, I bet you even use the term "deniers" too, which last time I checked is a religious term and has nothing to do with science. And I had mod points too, but thought they would be better served elsewhere then to mod down a hypocrites comments.
Wish I had points to mod this up. That's why they tried to jack the cost every year so far. This year is stable since it was floated out there of another raise in care cost and people went ape shit, understandably so.
Can the PC stupidity just go away? PC Principle is alive and well, and spreading stupidity and dividing lines across the country. Privilege check anyone?
This guy is the forth most cited law professor and he has a stupid fucking idea like this? The country is fucked if this is the level of stupidity considered the norm or "ok" now a days.
If you've been to L.A. then and to Beijing now, you can't see across the street most times after 9am and about only 2 stories up, sometimes less. Beijing would love to have it like L.A. was in the 70's
When it's all about money, facts take a back seat to maximizing how to obtain the most cash possible. That's why you have terms like "Negotiators" in that story and not scientists.
Where are all those that kept saying China is leading the way in cleaning up pollution? These are the same people that doubted when I said by 9am there you can barely see across the street. GET OUT OF YOU BASEMENTS PALE WHITE VIRGINS!
Hey, I'd check your point history but since you are a little bitch that post as an anonymous coward I can't.
Thanks again for proving your level of stupidity. It's real simple. When TIDES are HIGH, if MORE WATER is ADDED to the system, IT'S GOING TO FLOOD till the TIDE rescinds. When you have an island nation that all rose out of the ocean, things like that happen. I posted a link to a Nat Geo article say pretty much what I said. So you know more about it then the National Geographic reporter that studied it with scientists? I think I'll stick to those that are actually respected in the field and not a label-er who feels the need to resort to casting his homophobic fears on to others because his debate isn't really there.
Hey! Here is a link that says exactly what I said, go fucking figure? So where is all your links at? I guess they are "anonymous"!
You know what genius? When you have a high tide and you get a massive down pour, where do you think that rain is going to go? In to the ocean that is already at it's highest level? Hey, but resort back to your Pavlovian, knee jerk response and claim I'm a homophobic racist christian because debate of how tides work and Australia's measurements isn't debatable. Thanks for reinforcing the level of stupidity one can find on slashdot
Well considering the TFA says they are there to figure out how it should be used, I have a feeling you didn't even read the blurb above. But hey, write how you think it should be used and claim it's a fact.
Eugenics, because the perfect race is a noble cause.......Oh wait........Didn't someone else try this??? Oh that's right. Margaret Sanger! Maybe someone else too...
So are we supposed to ignore that the Marshall Islands get 160+ inches of rain a year with most falling from May to November??? Logic would tell you that it getting heavy rains and being near sea level would lend itself to flooding. Add to that tides are a result of the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun, which can only happen a maximum of twice a month, so the "more frequent" claim is utter rubbish. Is climate change changing gravity now too??? Australia has monitors all over down there and the data is available quite easily. Those show some pretty common numbers when charted with no great rise like has been claimed.
ITS MATH!!!! When a tolerance is bigger then the number claimed that means the number claimed has NO CHANCE of being even close to accurate. The tolerance given was enough that it could have also been the coldest year ever. NASA produced those numbers after the first announcement and barely any news source posted them, because frankly it would pour water on the flames of the claim. It's false advertising. Seriously, look up tolerances and how they work. Science is and always has been debatable otherwise we'd all think the world was still flat. Math has it's room for debates, but tolerances is not one of them.
So tell me this, the claim last year was that is was the warmest year ever by.02 degrees Celsius. Nasa said that number had a 38% chance of being right and a accuracy tolerance of ±.1 degree Celsius. That's pretty simple math there. No need for Newton's laws or Einstein's theories. When a tolerance is higher then the number claimed, do you know the chances of that number being right? If you think it could lots of engineers and mathematicians the world over would like to have a chat with you.
BTW, science doesn't use the word "denier", but religion does.;-)
Sooo the "97%" of the scientist number that falsely classified peer review studies to get that number, along with loaded questions, was them (or just John Cook) trying to "talk science" to get people to understand? Yes, I don't think you understand science. Maybe we should talk about the "2014 warmest year ever" claim to that NASA even said only had a 38% chance of being right and the.02 degrees Celsius higher yet the tolerance was ±.1 degree Celsius? Maybe we can all argue how math works to? But hey, I don't want to be mistaken for a drama queen because math is math and you can't argue it.
True science doesn't use the term "Deniers" to describe those that question methods used and not used to come to their conclusion. Religion uses terms like that.
Soooo no one has mentioned the repeal of the Smith Mundt Act in 2013 as a reason this story was floated out there then quickly gone away when the masses called FUD on it???? Hey, but I'm sure it's just "bad reporting" or "inept people in charge", which seems to happen A LOT. And no way could the whole "PS4" story be native advertising floated across thousands of media outlets. I mean, someone would really relish that kind of PR if a story could be tossed to the ethos and media outlets snag it like a piece of velcro that mentions their product over and over and over again, hitting website and all sorts of social media. I mean "who" would do that????
Wow, add up the funding that these groups get. $39 million here, $45 million there. Third on the list seems to be sue happy with $800,000 per year for their executive director which is now a former head of Dupont. One charges for membership, 74 million a year for another. Others are award societies that hand out awards, so I'm not sure how or why they'd have an official stance on climate change. One represents €25 billion in funding in Europe alone. But I'm sure none would lie or support things just to keep the funds rolling

Are apparently ignoring this. Must not pay as much to consider that 80% of the islands are growing.
