So what's the justification for the original supposition of CO2 tripling in a year? If that is "possible", then it would also be possible for water vapor to triple (you can, in fact, have super-saturated air - spend a summer in SE Asia and you'll experience it daily).
Suppose methane, or water vapor in the air tripled next year. It's just as impossible - and it would be infinitely worse - than your assumption. CO2 increases are much, much slower, highly variable, and strongly influenced by natural processes as well.
OK, if we're going to talk about "continue functioning the way it has for thousands of years" then we should look at the record over thousands of years. And from that, there's really zero indication that things are different now than in the past 10, 20, or 500 thousand years.
It's happening automatically. The more man tries to "control" what he doesn't understand (let alone has the power and ability to significantly influence), the more we waste what resources we have.
It is not a recognized term by the ICS, who are the arbiters of what geologic epochs actually are.
If a term isn't a recognized epoch then it has no meaning? Google scholar returns about 59,200 papers.
No, it has meaning, as I stated in my first post several back - it's a politically charged, made-up term designed to show a particular political bent/belief right out of the gate.
Got anything better than a conspiracy blog showing otherwise?
You're hopeless. I wonder when the chant of Nazi starts...
I've yet to be shown any system that did the former that did not slide towards the latter, typically within a few generations. If you offer to rob Peter to pay Paul, Paul will usually agree...
Free as in no cost, or free as in you can see/go/access anything you like? I'm pretty sure it's the former, and the latter will never happen with the current regime.
Since June 2016, when the county started using ALPR data, investigators discovered fraud had occurred in about 13,000 of the 35,412 fraud referrals they investigated, or about 37 percent of the time, the DHA said.
I think BeauHD is putting on his liberal bias glasses when he edited up the summary. DHA says 13,000 confirmed cases of fraud in just 2 years. A far cry from 500...
Hahaha! The political right having ANY influence in California Government? Go ahead, pull the other one! This state has been run by the Democrats for well over 20 years - House AND Senate, and usually with supermajorities (or within 1 vote of such a thing). No, this has nothing to do with the "political right", unless you mean the folks living in Berkeley because they are on the "right" shore of the Bay when you're looking at a map...
Lots of courses at community colleges, some State colleges, and lots of online/distance courses, mainly with SNHU. It took 6 years because it was unstable, we were moving around and running a full-time business and a stable thing wasn't possible. It can be done, if there is a desire to do so. It's not easy, but again - priorities can make it happen. She waited until she was 41 to start college - but she did it.
Yes, there is luck involved. But there is also a good amount of skill and intelligence and fortitude to realize when luck has struck - and to take advantage of it.
None of those systems (including unconstrained capitalism) are particularly good.
I think Milton Friedman summarized it best: "A society that puts equality before freedom will get neither. A society that puts freedom before equality will get a high degree of both." Focus on freedom, and equality will be a necessary result. The more you restrict the ability of people to move up or to change their own circumstances, the more stratification you will have. It's not a surprise that a lot of the recent growth in income inequality came at a time that the regulatory environment of the US literally exploded by orders of magnitude.
The global body tasked with naming geological eras, the International Commission on Stratigraphy, has rejected the proposed Anthropocene epoch
And yet the term does have meaning in the scientific literature
Apparently, it does not. It is not a recognized term by the ICS, who are the arbiters of what geologic epochs actually are. If you decide to call a frog a drazzlif, it does not mean that drazzlif is a term with scientific meaning. Anthropocene doesn't exist.
And I am curious about why you continue to ignore the failures of the paper in terms of how they determine the temperature and their lack of control reefs. Does the science not interest you, just the labeling and fluff around it?
Nothing conspiratorial about that site. That's the issue - just because they report actual, published science that you don't agree with, you label it conspiratorial. For example, the ICS is the actual, worldwide body in charge of naming climactic epochs - and they said "no" to the anthropocene. How is that conspiratorial? Your intolerance is astounding...
Not just guaranteed by the Government, but protected by the Government from even bankruptcy. Meaning that student loans can never be forgiven, and are a guaranteed potential income stream forever, from which the debtor cannot escape. That guarantee is why student loans became such a lucrative market.
The difference is, in the feudal, USSR, or North Korean models - there is no way to climb the pyramid. In the US - and most of Western Europe (which is capitalist in its economic models), you can climb the pyramid from the bottom to the top. It's hard, it's difficult - but it can happen.
It's that whole "equality of opportunity" versus "equality of outcome" thing. The former necessarily denies the latter. And rightfully so.
My wife is finishing up her BA in business right now - and did it for about $24K, total, over 6 years (part-time, evening studies). No need for big money spend to get a degree.
What drives diversity - is it genetics or is it experience? In other words - is it the fact a person has one set of genitalia, or is it they way they were raised and treated that creates diversity?

Look at the 800 ky plot - we see big swings regularly. What is "normal"?

It is voluntary. Like paying of taxes.

What is the sentence after that which you bolded? Contingent upon what? How is that enforced?

So I am sure you are 100% on-board with requiring that all boards have at least 45% of all seats occupied by conservatives?
Here's a study showing positive returns for increased wheat yields with CO2 up to 2000 PPM, but a maximal increase around 890 PPM.

Over-regulation is, in fact, Fascism.
Educate yourself about the Nordic model. They are free-enterprise, capitalist economies with strong social safety nets. Not even close to socialist.
Yes, the messenger, not the message. How "tolerant" of you! Here you go for the information you refuse to learn:
The global body tasked with naming geological eras, the International Commission on Stratigraphy, has rejected the proposed Anthropocene epoch
In other words - the anthropocene does not exist. Using that term is simply done to be political and biased.
And what about the criticism of the paper itself, including shoddy definitions of temperature, and lack of control reefs?
What drives diversity - is it genetics or is it experience? In other words - is it the fact a person has one set of genitalia, or is it they way they were raised and treated that creates diversity?
