There IS a problem with global warming... it stopped in 1998
airdvr replied to rushmc's topic in Speakers Corner
Daughter in Law lives in MountainView. It was 90 degrees there too this week. She told her mom it was climate change. -
Four graphics that help explain Britain's knife crime crisis https://www.cnn.com/2019/03/05/uk/uk-knife-crime-graphics-gbr-intl/index.html Take away the guns? Doesn't stop much.

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/climate-change-sends-great-lakes-water-levels-seesawing/?redirect=1 https://www.lre.usace.army.mil/Portals/69/docs/GreatLakesInfo/docs/WaterLevels/LTA-GLWL-Graph_2016.pdf This spring has been extremely wet around the Great Lakes. Scientific American wants to blame it on climate change.. The second link shows the history of water levels on the Great Lakes. Ebb and flow...it's what the lakes do. Seems every weather oddity is now climate change.

To be fair I would have needed a crystal ball. So, Trump is pretty much the same as Hillary, except Hillary managed to rig the DNC to force Bernie out. She's been a focal point of more scandals and has excused her husbands well known philandering with multiple women in order to stay close to power. I wonder how many women would have stuck by their husband's side after Jennifer Flowers, Paula Jones, and Monica, and then perjured himself in an attempt to save his ass. And those are just the ones we know about. There were others. You can come up with a list for Trump, but most of it was Trump the private citizen. I've noticed over the years the Dems have a proclivity for excusing their party member's illegal activities. Chappaquiddick anyone? I

That might be your point, but it's not mine. I also voted Trump because the thought of Hillary being President was something I couldn't tolerate.

Frankly it doesn't seem to be the criminal element that's involved in the mass shootings (except in Chiraq where ti seems to be the social norm). What do you do about the mentally unbalanced? I'm certain this guy wouldn't have shown up on anyone's radar.
-
Any reason given will be refuted by something Trump has said or done that is similar or worse. If only the DNC hadn't rigged the game.
-
So what's the answer? How do you restrict access to people with mental problems? This guy doesn't really fit any category of mental illness. Seems as though the media isn't concentrating on this one like they have in the past. Perhaps the gunman doesn't fit the typical white male conservative description?

Just goes to show how badly one can miss the point. None of us are immune.

China would be more than stupid to sell off the debt. It would make their currency much stronger and make exporting their goods much more expensive.

You mean kind of like here?
-
Not sure what point you're trying to make here.
-
Only my view that it is unconstitutional. I'm sure a judge will be looking at it if it passes. Just like forced birth laws.
-
If you don't like out laws change them...oops. Can't do it from Canada. No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

https://www.cnn.com/2019/05/04/politics/california-senate-bill-tax-returns/index.html Why do you waste time and taxpayer's money on something that is clearly unconstitutional?
-
Lotta "ifs" in there. Unless you can say definitely that the kids wasn't sick, really sick before he went to the hospital it's simply conjecture.

Anyone care to comment on Stossel's vid?
-
Thanks for that. I admit I hadn't read the article. I wonder how many go deeper than the headlines.
-
Look at it again. "triggers hysteria" refers to what? I can only assume the population of Ireland.
-
You incorrectly assume that I'm only talking about sensationalism that comes from the pro-AGW side. Sensationalism exists on both sides of the issue.
-
People have that option now. After 2 years of non-productivity at Akron U my son wasn't asked back for year three. Long story short he's in his 7th year in the Navy. He's learned a trade that will serve him well for the rest of his life. No one forced him to do this (although I did exert some pressure ). Free tuition is just an extension of the ease of access to student loans. I'm convinced there is a group of career students who put off venturing out into the real world by staying in school until their access to student loans is exhausted. Imagine if staying in school was free.
-
Not paranoia...in this instance its the oil and gas industry trying to make the AGW crowd look stupid. More media sensationalism.
-
The sensationalism part of the Ireland thing isn't the emergency...its the "hysteria". The headline would have you believe people are running around Ireland in a panic. Not so.
-
Look around you. Everywhere, everyday we're being solicited. There really is very little time in my daily life where I don't have someone trying to sell me something. And yet you don't entertain the possibility that you're being "sold" AGW? Alarmism[edit] Alarmism is described as the use of a linguistic repertoire which communicates climate change using inflated language, an urgent tone and imagery of doom. In a report produced for the Institute for Public Policy Research Gill Ereaut and Nat Segnit reported that alarmist language is frequently employed by newspapers, popular magazine and in campaign literature put out by government and environment groups.[29] When applied to climate change, alarmist language creates a greater sense of urgency.[30]

Let me make sure I've got this right...your position is that all of the weather related "disasters" on 2018 were fueled by climate change? And, you believe that the people of Ireland went ballistic when faced with a climate emergency? I might concede the third.
