What is this untaxed corporate profit you speak of? I know individuals can sometimes have untaxed capital gains (for example, the first $250,000 in profit on sale of your primary residence), but corporations? All profits are taxed. They may not be taxed in a foreign jurisdiction (other than the taxes the local jurisdiction applies, which to the best of my knowledge is always greater than zero), but when repatriated those profits are taxed at the full rate.
And I choose to believe the NASA study because I beleive it is a relatively simple way of measuring actual thickness of ice, and would not be tricked by magma flows under the continent. So we have to studies differing by nearly 200 billion tons of ice a year, and varying in different directions. And based on that variation, we want to radically change the entire economy?
I would argue no. I don't know which candidate is banning gays and Muslims and Mexicans. There is talk of controlling immigration of non-citizens - but that's not banning those here (at least those here legally). Abortion, IMHO, should be banned as it is currently practiced because it actually is State-legalized murder.
The positions of Hillary and Bernie are actually quite authoritarian as well. They seek to remove rights (the 2A, the 5A, the 10A), forcibly redistribute wealth (not just income), and remove the 1A freedom of association right. Nationalization of industries and companies is exactly what they want (energy, healthcare, education) which is highly authortarian.
Scientists aren't afraid to share the data - ALL the data. And explain why they discounted it. Why is this data hidden? What was the criteria for dropping stations? Especially when an independent audit found that less than 8% of all stations had an accuracy of less than 1 deg C.
Given the way the nomination is being handled by party insiders and a tight clique to crown the pre-ordained Hillary in place of Sanders, it's hardly democratic.
No, it was an open-ended question: what do you think is the most important problem facing this country today? You didn't even read the page, did you? Respondents could answer with ANYTHING. The fact that climate change/global warming doesn't even show up - AT ALL - shows that it's really not a concern for the vast majority of people.
Not in this day and age! It's all about how you self-identify. After all, you can be lily white but still identify as black and be the president of the local NAACP chapter on the basis of a bad perm and self-identify conflicts!
African Americans were quite common on TV from the beginning, and by 1939 the Ethel Waters Show featured Ethel Waters, a black entertainer, headlining and starring in her own TV variety show. So 11 years from the first broadcast to the first regular show starring blacks. That's a bit shorter than 50 years...
Bad analogy. It's more like taking your kid with a sore throat to a GP or nurse practitioner or pharmacist instead of an otolaryngologist. Yes, the OLO is the specialist, but the GP, NP, or pharmacist will diagnose the same problem and recommend the same treatment as the OLO. You don't need the OLO to get a diagnosis, and you wouldn't really discount the diagnosis of the GP or NP, would you?
And when it comes to complex environments with lots of chaos and thermodynamics in action, a good physicist would probably give you better insights and answers than a climatologist.
Yeah, about that 97% consensus... It's a pretty cooked statistic, cooked nearly as much as Mann's single bristlecone tree which produced the infamous hockey-stick of warming. But it does make a great talking point, even if it's not true!
Modern Liberalism, at least as "claimed" in the US, is actually quite authoritarian. And given it's penchant for demand to control industries as a whole, bears a striking resemblance to fascism. Yes, classical liberalism is radically different, but maybe that's why those in the US who claim the Liberal mantle the loudest, claim it - to deflect from more fitting nomenclature.
Perfect! You proved his point. When you go to select the data you have 3 options:
1. GHCN v3 adjusted + SCAR data
2. After removing suspicious records
3. After GISS homogeneity adjustment
None of those are actual raw data; they're already adjusted, heavily edited to remove "outliers", or homogenized with other data. The link is not the raw, unadjusted data.
Meanwhile, the Antarctic ice cap is adding 82 billion tons of ice a year... Enough to offset the arctic ice loss, so the total ice mass stays the same...
For Al Gore, it's about $100 million he's made, mainly on making investments in green companies that received billions in Federal subsidies and grants. Hmm, ex VP and presidential candidate for the Democrat Party invests in green energy, and those companies happen to receive billions and billions of dollars from the Federal Government, enabling said ex-VP to inflate his net worth from under $2 million to over $100 million. No connection there at all, eh?
I want to just give you a personal anecdote about terrorism, because less than 20 years ago, I was the target of a terrorist group. It was the New World Liberation Front. They blew up power stations and put a bomb at my home when my husband was dying of cancer. And the bomb was set to detonate at two o'clock in the morning, but it was a construction explosive that doesn't detonate when it drops below freezing. It doesn't usually freeze in San Francisco, but on this night, it dropped below freezing, and the bomb didn't detonate. I was very lucky. But, I thought of what might have happened. Later the same group shot out all the windows of my home.
And, I know the sense of helplessness that people feel. I know the urge to arm yourself, because that's what I did. I was trained in firearms. I'd walk to the hospital when my husband was sick. I carried a concealed weapon. I made the determination that if somebody was going to try to take me out, I was going to take them with me.

Why deduct scores from yourself? Privately-owned companies do exist in China. Heck, I own one. It's true that most BIG heavy industries (banks, telecoms, steel, automotive) are State owned, but most of the smaller, high-techy type businesses are not owned by the Chinese Government. In fact, WOFEs are explicitly NOT-State owned nor require any Chinese citizen ownership. So yeah, you get a -1 for ignorance of the Chinese economy.
Altium. OrCAD. Cadence. All run on Windows. Solidworks. Creo. NX. All run on Windows. Walk through the Dell, HP, Compal, Quanta engineering departments. You see Windows machines wall-to-wall.
Windows is also the platform that's used to design those server mechanicals, lay out the PCBs, and simulate the schematics. Essentially, those servers, supercomputers, and render farm components are all designed on Windows machines.
But yeah, you go ahead and continue to rant about it being a toy...

No you don't. You get the stations that are deemed "OK". What stations are tossed out? What data was edited, removed?

Lots of claims about ice-free Arctic waters... Even though there's a net increase in total ice at the poles, mainly due to the Antarctic adding 82 billion tons of ice a year.
Gallup's regular poll of the Most Important Problem doesn't even have Climate Change on the list.

I guess you didn't realize that an H1-B can be coverted to a green card.

It's somewhere between 1 out of 1000 and 1 out of 100, depending upon how liberally you want to interpret the statistics. That's pretty rare, overall...

Uh, that's actually by design. It's supposed to shock you to simulate salt/sour sensations. Without shocking you, it doesn't work.
