You sparked my curiosity. I'm 75 YO, what do you think I've done in my life to create my moral fabric? I've met many Christians in my life but few who have missed the point of Luke 3:11 more than you. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

They'll likely just do the trunk for free and you're left with the stump and branches. Not much margin in a small lumber removal. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

I think we know Ron's moral fabric, let's not blame her for that too. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Thats kind of where the rubber meets the road with regards to all this. Who is going to pay when every Indian, Pakistani, Vietnamese,Indonesian and heaven forbid African, gets a car. Poor countries and industrial development can send pollution levels off the charts. In the end a long journey starts with one step. What should we do then? I read somewhere a while back that even if every fossil fueled vehicle in the US was taken off the roads it wouldn't have much of an effect. And to touch on Africa, we haven't yet seen full-blown industrialization in any part of the continent and when we do you can bet-yet-ass it won't be clean unless there are serious global controls. The UN is working on something right now but they don't really have teeth. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

It's OK, brenthutch also said the combination of the greening affect and increased albedo because of increased snowfall will mean something something china conspiracy. It's on the internet, just have to poke around a little. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

I was doing hop and pops in Central Virginia in the middle of February wearing a T-shirt. I love CO2 and so should all of you!! "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

I'm just saying nobody is gaining anything going after her directly. She's a trophy wife and while she has he own will we all know she operates at the whim of Donald. I fully understand her immigration status is probably not legitimate, but that's all Donald's doing. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Yup. We know she doesn't like to do these events and Trump puts her up there with something that Stephen Miller likely wrote. I doubt she has any serious political views, she would probably not vote for her husband if they were not married. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Or whether you begin each conversation with a recital of The Lord's Prayer. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Did you ever stop to find out how old Soros was during WW2? I think he was around 10 or 12. And you say "Or so the story goes." Can you provide a source for that story? "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Just generally how margins are determined based upon their usage. For example you'll see tree cutters using safety lines that'll handle an errant chainsaw swipe. They'll much stronger not because they hold more weight but because of how they can get damaged. The quoted fire equipment is obviously in danger of damage in a fire. Skydiving equipment, besides some dirt and sun doesn't see much atmospheric damage and is still safe for a long time. As I understand it climbing ropes have a recommended end of life, much like parachute suspension lines. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

OK. The information supporting global warming is available through this link. Just go poke around a little bit: The fucking internet, lol "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Great, now we just need data on your claim about the difference in albedo between sea ice and snow coverage. Also there's that detail of sea ice having snow on it and also that if there's less sea ice there's less of an area for snow to lay upon since it won't sit on top of open water, also regardless of snowfall depth is there now a greater area on which that snow falls? "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Assume you meant albedo, the measure of energy back into the solar system? Can you provide some sources or are you pulling a Trump-Staff and just saying things. You break open quite an extensive can of worms considering that sea ice is also covered in snow and that in warmer climate there is also less snow over the course of a year at those lower latitudes. That would lead me to think that while there could be more snow in a given period that the combination of less snow on the ground and less sea ice means less albedo. Again, your sources, without quoting "skepticalscience.com"? "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Neither article claims to hold the key piece of evidence and they say it very clearly. The first one describes that while the sea ice was at it's lowest, there was recently a record maximum and the highly variable swings require long term observation. What it does point to is an increase in that variability. One oft cited reason for this is that warming sea and air temps cause the jet stream to extend North and South bringing moist air with it. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/climate-consensus-97-per-cent/2014/jul/17/global-warming-causing-extreme-weather-jet-stream-waves It would be nice to find out that this is Earth's way of rebounding by bringing snow to the poles but we also know that moist air holds much more energy than the cold air these regions typically see. The result is described in the linked articles as the third warmest January within the records began in 1880. Snow does not equate to ice, snow and continued low temperatures does.

Nothing beats getting people in the same room. As far cost constraints? Things that matter cost money. A Virtual meeting could supplement face time but a real meeting, not one of those meetings that could've been an email, require people to look each other in the eyes. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Awesome. I'm sending that to a friend. What's your last name so I can give proper credit. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Zoinks!! "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Oh good God, yeah, I give up. This guy really does seem to be a great choice which is why I'm worried he won't want to take it. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

I don't think he meant that excerpt as a bad thing. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Ah yes, I'm sure that the US EPA is the sole author of climate science and their control over the world community of scientists will be revealed like a Scooby Doo villain. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

I'm surprised there isn't already a web generator so you can overlay the cockpit on whatever situation you like. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

He currently has a very successful career and I'm sure he's concerned about getting wrapped up in Trump's ethical compromises. Anyone taking this role will be in a position from day one of defending Trump from all sorts of allegations and knows Trump wants someone to be his mouthpiece not to actually pursue information. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Someone PLEASE overlay the Millenium Falcoln cockpit over that picture: https://milaviate.files.wordpress.com/2015/12/star-wars-episode-5_183.jpg?w=1200 "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

That's like if I called the cops because I saw my neighbor beating his wife and instead they investigated me for looking through their window. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
