    There actually is a distinction between a mountain and a hill, the there is nothing in Florida that qualifies as a mountain. You're not from the US, are you? You're pretty ignorant of our geography...

    There was no drought in the Midwest, at least not since the 1930s. Please show otherwise. The data I linked is quite explicit, total precipitation in the Midwest has been increasing since the 1940s.

  4. And both statements could be true - you can contact me directly, or via a 3rd party. The presence of both options does not negate the veracity of both options.

  5. Most of these really aren't lies, like General Flynn whom the field agents even said "don't charge, this is a non-issue, he got a few dates wrong, doesn't matter". These are ticky-tack little process charges to have SOMETHING to show for the failed effort. Cuomo's just the first one on the left to actually come out and admit the witch hunt has nothing.

    Fact: we are at or above normal, in California, in snowpack and reservoir levels. I linked above the proof.
    Fact: precipitation in the Midwest (that is EAST of the Rockies) is increasing. I linked above the proof.
    Fact: the Sahara is turning more green, due to increased precipitation. I linked above the proof.

    Fact: you've made claims of all to the contrary, showed zero facts, and are now trying to backpedal. You're clearly ignorant of the FACTS about precipitation in the US and its trends. And it's clear you're ignorant of our geography when you do not realize the Midwest is EAST of the Rockies...

    Conclusion: you're stupid, and you continue to prove your own stupidity with your own unreferenced proclamations and nonsensical statements about the Midwest not being East of the Rockies and Florida having mountains.

    Modded down for telling the truth. Effective Federal income tax rates in the 1950s (with those high marginal rates) were lower than today, and the Federal Government under Eisenhower had about half the income it does today, per capita and adjusted for inflation. The problem isn't not enough taxation - the problem is way too much spending. Over $13,000 annually by the Federal Government alone for every man, woman, and child in These United States.

    Yes, yes, Woods Hole Institute is full of idiots, if only they were as educated as you! if only glacial rebound didn't exist, if only see-saw effects as continents rebound didn't happen why you'd be a smart man! Unfortunately, those effects do happen, and you're not.

    PS: talking about mountains in Florida shows your ignorance to start with; the State only reaches an altitude of 345 feet naturally; there are thousands of buildings in Florida higher than its highest, natural peak.

    California snowpack at 111% of normal, and the reservoirs are all around historical averages. No more drought in California (contrary to what you stated), the Midwest is still gaining in moisture (contrary to what you stated), and the Sahara is getting more moisture (contrary to what you stated). And yet somehow you're still correct? When the facts don't go your way - you really should change your position.

    Not by chemists or most scientists. It would be called neutralization - when you change an acid towards neutral, or a base towards neutral. It only becomes acidification or basification if you're moving from neutral towards acid or base.

  15. You don't understand basic electrical theory, do you? Take 1 Vrms and send it to a typical 10 kOhm input impedance signal-level preamp, How much current flow? V=IR, I = V/R, about 0.1 mA. Now take 1 Vrms and send it to a typical 32 Ohm headphone. I=V/R, about 31 mA. That's about 310 times higher current than the signal level case. That is a bit more than two orders of magnitude. Seriously, this is EE 101... CURRENT FLOW, NOT VOLTAGE IS WHAT MATTERS!

    The Sahara is greening. That's because it's getting wetter. Yes, the desert is getting wetter! California is back up over normal snowpack levels, and the Midwest has a general increasing trend of precipitation. Pretty much everything you said was just proven wrong...

    Check what happens with glacial rebound - the center of the continent rises a lot more, which forces the edges of the continent down. It's why there is glacial impact on sinking on the East coast. And when you push down on one side of the Continent (the upper side), the lower side lifts; remove the force, the upper side rises and the lower side sinks. Educate yourself - the trampoline analogy and see-saw effect they use should help you understand.

  19. Guess what - headphone cables ARE speaker wires. They are typically a few magnitudes higher in currents relative to signal cables. You're driving tens of mA into low impedance (below 50 Ohm) loads. What do you think a headphone cable is?

    Actually, we should get wetter as we get warmer, given the moisture content of warm air versus cold air.

    The pH of the ocean is around 8.2; it's slowly moving closer to 8.1. Neutral is 7.0. pH scale is logarithmic - I don't think we could emit enough CO2 if we burned all fossil fuel reserves today to move it to neutral, let alone to acidic.

    How about we focus on bigger, more easily solvable problems, like single-use plastic waste? There are much more important, easier problems to solve.

    Do the math - how much money, per capita, did the Federal Government get in personal income taxes in 1950, 1960, 1970, 1980, 1990 and now - adjusted for inflation? You'll find that it's highest right now. Back when we had those "huge" marginal tax rates, the numbers and amount of deductions was massive, such that the top 1% - who had the 90% rate on the supermajority of their income - ended up paying about 30% overall - about what they pay now.
