An individual 12" diameter vertical log in a 100' wide river has no impact; a string of 100 of them, side by side, across the river. That will have a major impact.
False. The article title is "NASA Study: Mass Gains of Antarctic Ice Sheet Greater than Losses". It is the mass - not thickness - that is measured. The first paragraph is:
A new NASA study says that an increase in Antarctic snow accumulation that began 10,000 years ago is currently adding enough ice to the continent to outweigh the increased losses from its thinning glaciers.
It is ice and snow, combined, that are accumulating faster than ice is shedding. Total frozen stuff in Antarctica is accumulating. That is what NASA says.
I am disagreeing with your contention that you cannot cut CO2 whilst increasing manufacturing output. The US is doing just that - our manufacturing output is up, and our CO2 output is down. Why should we not expect the same of other nations?
Except that's not what NASA states. They state ice is accumulating, there is more mass of frozen stuff down there. Fusing snow to ice does not increase it's mass; it increases its density. There is more frozen mass in Antarctica; West Antarctica is losing some, but the much larger, Eastern Antarctica is adding like crazy.
Except that the US is slashing it's emissions. We're down 15% since 2007. Even as fossil fuel domestic production is up, and manufacturing output is up.
What impact is that? It's not from rising seas (the Eastern seaboard is sinking faster than the oceans are rising) and it's not from increased hurricanes (there is no climate-change-based signal in losses due to hurricanes). So what impact?
It's a cherry-picked survey where those who were stated as 'explicitly endorse human-caused climate warming' directly refute the classification. When your data - which is surveyed papers from authors - literally comes out and says you're wrong, well - you should question the accuracy of the survey in the first place.
Here's the data, and given it's down 15% over the last decade, and world emissions are up - we're probably the exception, making ANY reduction significant.
No, we have things of poor quality in California that are called roads. The things that suck are members of the corporate group in Sacramento Government who prefer to dump tax dollars into high speed trains between Bakersfield and Modesto.

Oh for fucks sake, the damage is done. How many jobs were lost already because of this bullshit tradewar.
Unemployment rate doesn't seem affected... so I'd say - none?
You are sorely underestimating the power of the iOS installed base. ~1 billion active users.
You're welcome.
Nice pivot! Talking about the user base, and now pivoting to profits. Sweet!

Berkshire owns lots of manufacturing; Buffet buys stable, cash-generating companies and that includes quite a few manufacturing companies.
So, it's 3rd place behind 2.7 billion Android and 1.4 billion Windows users. Seems there's no underestimating going on by the GP. 3rd place OS probably will have, long term, 3rd place capitalization.

US CO2 emissions dropping. Sucks to be wrong, eh AC?
Someone didn't read the article, with actual quotes from authors which Cook lied about. But you have a narrative and a belief to push, I get it...

Looking at the data, the US is way down the list. Russia is a top-3 across the board (with most of those exports going to Europe).
What impact is that? It's not from rising seas (the Eastern seaboard is sinking faster than the oceans are rising) and it's not from increased hurricanes (there is no climate-change-based signal in losses due to hurricanes). So what impact?
Actual deaths from nuclear are quite low. Solar is 44 times more deadly per PWh than nuclear. Your fears are, provably, unfounded.
False. Insults don't make it any different, either.
You're wrong. Solar is more dangerous than nuclear.
US manufacturing output is rising, and yet our CO2 output is falling. China's output of both is rising.
Nothing in that link was demonstrated as incorrect. In fact, the specific predictions (e.g. accelerated ice melting in Antarctica) have come true.
NASA says otherwise, and explicitly states that Antarctica as a whole is gaining ice.

Hah! I'll laugh at you, stuck in LA traffic, as I go by on my motorcycle...:)

Kudos to you, sir!
