  1. You've been spending a lot of time looking up the last time these events happened that are all now happening simultaneously. What do you think of that? I'm not sure what you're talking about with the Ice Age thing, btw, some 1970's conspiracy that's supposed to debunk our conclusions on global warming?
  2. Sources are describing it as a "modern record", which fulfills your parameters.
  3. Kallend's source was WCPO Cincinatti which I wouldn't exactly call MSM. Mine was USA Today via the Weather Channel which stated that there were also 6 in 1992 and 5 in 1971 and 1974. The single article Kallend referenced is posted in a few other minor news sources but otherwise is not a national headline, not getting any attention - no bleeting.
  4. And how's that metally ill teenager is doing today: Worldwide attendance. 400’000 across Australia. 100’000 in Berlin. 100’000 in London. 50’000 in Hamburg.
  5. Tied with 1992. Anyway, despite all of these simultaneous records happening this year, it's happened before within 500 million years so therefore it's not an issue. Yes, the logic being that you need to track through 500 million years in order to find examples of things that are all happening within a year.
  6. Probably more obvious examples of warming global temperatures and more people who understand we're not doing enough quickly enough. And considering trends....
  7. I can't find what he's talking about. He's making is sound like her mother is out there trying to warn the world that her daughter is a troubled psychopath.
  8. She has OCD, ADHD, and Asbergers. Years ago (age 10 or 11) this undiagnosed condition led to depression and eating issues. The effect now (age 16) appears to be that she doesn't know she's not supposed to speak publicly about what she understands and it's entertaining to see people so afraid of a 16-year-old who travels by sailboat.
  9. So you're not describing her as being mentally ill? Oh, I get it, you're technically right and there's no insult intended?
  10. Now lets see those libtards force the Hell's Angels to ride these!
  11. Another example of how our decision to stay out of the Paris accord lessens it's strength towards diplomacy internationally.
  12. What's up with people making fun of this girl?
  13. There are many many many many government programs dictating how a car should be laid out concerning safety and emission issues. If your angle is invention then your example is pretty bad because it was that government funding of Langley's aircraft that created what became the blueprint for aircraft engines: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manly–Balzer_engine The "entrepreneurs" were also after government money and they were one success out of way more failures. So, if we're talking about track records, the government funded one project and it revolutionized aircraft engines with one failed aircraft, the free market developed one aircraft without a good engine but behind that were countless failures. Who has the better track record? We have the best military in the world with the best hardware all from the government picking winners. To take this back to renewables, the failure rate of programs supported by the government in the form of tax breaks or loans is well below that of the free market.
  14. We'll know the apocalyse has arrived when the Mustang and Harley Davidsons have electric motors.
  15. Regardless of the picture you want to paint, your desire to not pay for mitigation against global warming isn't relevant. You may actually die before it's no longer cost effective to own and drive a car with an internal combustion engine but I wouldn't be surprised if they're off the market sooner than we think.
  16. Noticed that the closer the car in front of you is the harder you need to hit the brakes?
  17. He wouldn't be the first. I had a constant back and forth with a friend who was an umovable Bernie supporter, she wrote him in during the election. When she was going off on her FB page about Kavanaugh and how he may vote to restrict abortions I put that on there as a comment response. We haven't spoken since. Not sorry.
  18. We can add that to the list but we'll be dust and bones if we wait to fix the entire world of tax disparity.
  19. Gotta remember this was the guy who dressed up as the Easter Bunny at the White House in the Bush Jr. days.
  20. I voluntarily pay an additional $5 per billing cycle for my power company to develop renewables, I don't really care that it's likely a greenwash bit of bullshit. True, people don't want to pay more money, not really a mystery, it's always someone eles's problem: "Instead, clear majorities say they would prefer that climate initiatives be funded by increasing the taxes on wealthy households and on companies that burn fossil fuels." This is the typical uninformed BS you'll see, that wealthy people and corporations need to pay for it. The fact is that everyone was benefiting from low cost power, whether it be coal power plants or gasoline engines so we ALL need to pay for it.
  21. You're saying that the Handmaid's tale meme is a serious political statement?
  22. I guess for people who only read the first 5 words of any article (the headline) that makes sense.
  23. The graphic is a depiction of the number of months that mosquitos could transmit aedes aegypti. I agree that the header is misleading.
