  1. "Climate change is real and human activities are responsible."
  2. Sovereign: supreme, absolute, unlimited, boundless, ultimate, total, unconditional, full. I stand by my characterization, no weaseling required.
  3. Michael Mann, the top climate scientists at a major university, an IPCC luminary and a co-author of the Democrats climate plank, openly claims that CO2 is the sovereign driver of climate change.
  4. Did you just "I know you are but what am I" me?
  5. It looks like we might have to add "delusional."
  6. The 5 stages of grief and loss are: 1. Denial and isolation; 2. Anger; 3. Bargaining; 4. Depression; 5. Acceptance. Clearly y'all are stuck on three.
  7. Tell yourself whatever you need to, so you may sleep at night
  8. Yep Trump lost, just ask President Clinton.
  9. Bill likes to pretend that high tech is compatible with low carbon, I merely pointed out that low/no tech has a much lower carbon footprint. BTW it was BillV who brought the Amish into the conversation.
  10. Ok Mr. math genius, who has a lower carbon footprint, you or a backward hayseed Amish man? Run the numbers and get back to me. If you need help with the math, let me know and I will help you out.
  11. The reason the popular vote argument doesn't work, is because that was not the rules of the game going in. It would be analogous to a team that won yards passing, yards rushing, time of possession, first downs, turnovers, and penalties, yet had less points on the board than the other team at the end of the game, yet still claiming victory. Trump could have spent time campaigning in CA, MA and NY and easily picked up an additional million or three votes.
  12. Just as low unemployment rates are more nuanced than "Obama good." As a side note, monthly income dropped. Now way to spin that into a positive.
  13. The Amish have a much lower carbon footprint than you do. In fact the ONLY way to stop the rise of CO2 is for all of us to live like the Amish. I will take you more seriously when you trade in your Tesla for a mule.
  14. Sorry I thought you were questioning my source.
  15. http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2016/04/25/millennials-overtake-baby-boomers/ I guess you don't trust the government.
  16. Welcome to something called "demographics". Labour participation is dropping because the baby boomers are retiring And are being replaced by an even more populous demographic, Millennials. Welcome to something called math.
  17. Well maybe it is time to see what this economy can do once the government takes its foot of of the necks of banks, businesses and fossil fuels.
  18. Driven by a record low labor participation rate, hardly anything to brag about. While I am not a big Trump fan his impending presidency is already having a positive impact on our economy and markets.
  19. Why should one voluntary group association be different from any other? I'd be surprised if anyone was raised from childhood as an AAPS follower. Ellison converted as an adult.
  20. Why should one voluntary group association be different from any other? Because one donates money to one group and... uh...oh...never mind.
  21. As SkyDekker pointed out, it raises some questions, but why don't we wait for answers. I like his small government approach to some things, but the scientifically unsupported positions espoused by this organization are a concern.
  22. My point is that one should not ascribe every position an organization has to an individual that may be associated with that organization. For example, I am on MoveOn.org's mailing list. While I might share common cause on some issues, I disagree with them on many more. Let's wait to hear from the good Dr.
  23. I run in a circle of one. I realize your presuppositions and prejudices make it easier for you to understand the world, but you could not be further from the mark.
  24. Nancy Pelosi, just got elected as minority leader, and she belongs to a religion that says women's reproductive health care is a mortal sin. Keith Ellison just got re-elected to his house seat and is under consideration for the head of the DNC and his faith demands that gays be stoned to death. So I think this guy will be confirmed.
  25. Tom Price just tapped for HHS. Talk about putting the fox in charge of the hen house. Chuck Schumer seen pooping his pants.
