No, if they really believed that stuff, they would be burning people at the stake. But they aren't, because people only believe in belief, and hence allow heretics and apostates to go unmurdered, and even interact with them in a friendly manner.
To an extent, but it is better to use data from remote measuring stations, rather than ones that used to be outside of town, but are now in the middle of town due to urban sprawl.
Lumping everyone together, then painting everyone in your granfalloon with the beliefs of the 99th percentile is pretty fucking assholish there, asshole.
What if you just refuse to see the reasoning that lead them there?
Creationism would be a reasonable position if there were significant evidence of a creator (there isn't). AGW "denial" would be reasonable if there were an argument that the amount of CO2 we have put and are putting into the atmosphere won't cause a feedback loop.
And there is, if you would put pen to paper and make the calculations yourself, assuming you understand a little physical chemistry. CO2 has a very thin IR spectrum chart that integrates to a very low number, meaning it is shit at absorbing heat. Water vapor has a gigantic broad "peak" that swamps most other signals to the point that you can't even tell when other stuff is present with highly sophisticated equipment that only looks at the IR spectrum.
Of note, the other product of combustion is water vapor. Irrigation forces more water vapor into the air. Paving forces more water vapor into the air. Even the cooling towers of nuclear power plants force more water vapor into the air. These things happen on a continuous basis, so the world is on average more humid by perhaps 1% than it was 100 years ago. Which would be more than enough to account for ALL observed warming.
What are the implications for this? It means that most of the wild scenarios dreamed up by the AGW people that lead to mass death and starvation or extinction are unlikely. CO2 stays in the atmosphere for hundreds of years on average, where water vapor falls out in a few days. This tight equilibrium means that we can self correct easily, as economic deterioration due to climate change will decrease the amount of water vapor we push into the air by a mechanism of tearing up unused roads (seen in recently in Detroit), reducing combustion, less irrigation, etc.
But by all means, paint everyone who doesn't blindly agree with the god "Science" (rather than following the scientific method) with the same brush. It's not like your nonsensical belief will change physics in your "favor". One can only hope that those of you who continue to cling to AGW theory are rightfully marginalized, and removed from your priest-like positions in government, as those guys can and do do REAL damage based off of bad theory.
Beware that that is a biased source too, as most cities in the US have been growing until very recently, meaning more heat generated meaning larger heat domes.
There is belief in belief, that is, people feel that it is good to believe in God, and all the things associated with that. This is common to all humans, whether they are idiots or geniuses. Hence why a question of faith does not correlate to intellect.
Deep down, or maybe even just barely under the surface, 99.9% of people are likely atheists. They just go through the motions because that is how they grew up and they see the social benefit to the continued lie, like a child who learns that Santa isn't real, but pretends he believes in the hopes of getting more presents at Christmas (I did this as a child).
Yeah, but California has ALWAYS been drier than it was for the last century. 500 year droughts were not uncommon. Using a drought in the fucking Sahara as evidence for your theory shows that your methodology is very, very flawed, and should bring closer scrutiny. But it doesn't, because the field is 100% politicized and no-one is REALLY interested in science.
NAD+ actually REVERSES aging in mice, turning back the clock of "60 year old" mice to "20 year old" mice within a week.
NAD+ is available from Sigma Aldrich in kilogram quantities for $800/kilo, which would be enough for the entire elderly population of a middling sized city.
The future is bright. Don't miss it. Carpe diem, and buy that shit for yourself.
How do you think people get money from interest? It doesn't fall from the sky.
As more money is saved by long-lived individuals, the amount of money available for (capital) loans increases, driving down the interest rate (in a free society--one which doesn't have a central bank pretending it knows more about time preference of money than the market).
Lending money at interest is tied to capital creation. Capital creates wealth. It is natural that people should become wealthier as they grow older. Their wealth will drive down prices for EVERYONE (capital investment allows industrialists to drive down costs via economies of scale and R&D).
Funny how reactionaries always seem to think of life extension as living a long time as an old person rather than living a long time as a young person.
I get my internet wirelessly off of a nearby tower. My small city of 200K has numerous companies offering the service at various qualities and price points.
Hate to tell you, but it is the governments and central banks who sank our future. Though the corporations are largely inseparable from them--a kind of evil trinity.
Come to think of it, that is a pretty apt analogy. The Government is the father, the corporations the son (for obvious reasons), and the Fed is the unholy ghost, because hardly anyone knows what it is or what it does.
The invisible hand was cut off ages ago. You think the US has a free market? You're nuts, mate. The last vestiges of it disappeared decades ago. The US is full on fascist now, and is going into the same terminal decline that marks all fascist societies. Starving times are coming, just like they came to Spain.
Oh NO! We aren't to the extremes of technology imagined in science fiction after only 28 years!? Well, then fuck, I guess there is no such thing as technological progress. Imma go buy a donkey and start plowing with a stone furrow.

In the industry, we call them "strawmen".
Replace all references to the monolithic concept of "global warming" with "an angry god", and something interesting happens.
PHLOGISTON!
A large group of people believe different things, therefore they should ALL be ignored.
Stop defending your use of logical fallacies.
Hmmm, so if I say that the Earth is likely 4.54 BILLION years old, I'm a denier too?
You had better be GOD DAMN SURE you have your facts straight before you start labeling people like that.
Your last sentence is precisely correct. But will you ever apply such reasoning to your own self?
What if you just refuse to see the reasoning that lead them there?

"Unstable in others" means "a miracle happens."

I think, if this move is indicative of a new philosophy among the local politicians, that it might become a much nicer city in the near future.
Exactly. Hand them all the information of a silver platter and they do nothing.
Police are scum. From personal experience as a victim of more than one instance of theft.
That is probably due to Costco locking in their prices in advance. They will be higher next year.

What planet do you hail from where anyone trusts the goodness of ANY politician?
Oh, you actually fell for the "Obama the Savior" bullshit?
Did you know that the word gullible doesn't appear in the dictionary?
Awww, are you butthurt there, Luddite?
Before you go running off to cry about it to your control panel, why don't you just wipe your tears away and shut up?
Would you bet that it couldn't ever in the future, even with a billion years of technological progress?
