"Are you that fucking stupid that you can't click on the link I gave you??"
I clicked on it. It doesn't answer my question. Let me ask again:
What did I predict on this post:
"No, stocks are higher based on the expectation that Trump will screw over Joe sixpack and let businesses run amok without regulations, oversight, and taxes."

Here's an article from NPR that details the reality of the little ice age and the preceding Middle Ages warming period. Apparently the warming period made Missouri great again for corn farming and Indian culture blossomed there for a couple hundred years. Then the little ice age happened, causing weather patterns to shift. This made Missouri and plains areas dry and unsuitable for corn growing, while making the western states flood with water. Perhaps the Anasazi civilization flourished at those times when the American west was fertile and had lots of rain. Perhaps Cahokian Indians went there.
Point is: climate change that affects arable land has and will continue to happen regardless of man. Right now, we may be entering a colder period. As we speak, the west is becoming rainier and the middle of the country is drying a bit. We will see if that's carried out once summer gets here. If so, it may be part of a general trend.

Irrelevant.
The relevant question - does man cause a systematic climate change?

I'm pretty convinced that global warming is real, but not convinced it's an epic disaster for the world.
In fact, simply looking at the truly vast amounts of land in Canada and Russia that are experiencing longer growing seasons, I think total global food production might go up with increased warming.
Not that that's much comfort to countries like Bangladesh.
Can't people move up the hill when their feet get wet?
And how much will that cost the US economy?

Maybe an "Illegal Immigrant Rapist Full Scholarship Fund" for NCU.
Makes about as much sense as any of the the other libby delusions.

I'm sure they're just "misunderstood" and are really nice guys. Please let your daughters date them.
What basis do you have for this strawman line? Who actually thinks this? Most pro immigration reform people have no problem charging and deporting known criminals, and NOBODY is in favor of child abuse.

Not that that's much comfort to countries like Bangladesh.
Also not much comfort to coastal cities like Miami and New York. Trillions of dollars of economic loss may not be an "epic disaster for the world", but it makes 9/11 look utterly insignificant, and how much did we sacrifice to fight terrorism? Far more people will die and far more economic loss will occur due to climate change than due to terrorism. Hell, the spread of malaria alone will kill more people than all of terrorism in all of history put together.
So we should treat a climate change attack -- and yes, let's start calling it an attack because essentially that is what it is, intentional or not -- we should treat a climate change attack with the same seriousness as a major terrorist attack. The stakes are higher in climate change even in the mildest scenario.

Please make the argument that a one degree F temperature rise is insignificant
Has it been that much over the last 20 years?
About twice that.
Our Planet’s Temperature Just Reached a Terrifying Milestone
Keep in mind that it took from the dawn of the industrial age until last October to reach the first 1.0 degree Celsius, and we’ve come as much as an extra 0.4 degrees further in just the last five months.
Okay maybe you can answer the questions?.
The trajectory of a dynamical system in its phase space is determined by a set of non-linear differential equations. If you take the simplest system, a point moving in 1-D (e.g a pendulum) with energy conservation (closed system) you have a 2-d phase space (coordinate and momentum) and a system of 2 non-linear differential equations (Hamilton's equations). This already results in a number of stationary points, their basins of stability and phase space trajectories.
When I teach theoretical mechanics, this is one of the hardest topics for the students. Yet it is only the simplest, idealized system.
Do you know what I am talking about? Because if you don't, if you have never studied non-linear differential equations, you wouldn't understand how stupid your questions are.
"The science is settled".
This is supposed to be politics??
Tell us, how much science do you know and how much research experience do you have, that allows you to question the conclusions of experts with decades of experience? What was the biggest research project you ever did? Any publications? Any articles that you've peer reviewed?
NAC question:
So bond yields have come down since the 80's. But when I look at a chart of NAC its been averaging 14-15. It was there in 2000. How come it doesn't have a continuous slow up curve as yields have a slow down curve?
conclusions of experts
for the right price, i can make any data look any way the buyer wants it to.
the U.S. Government spent more than $32.5 billion on climate studies between 1989 and 2009. This doesn't count about $79 billion more spent for related climate change technology research, foreign aid and tax breaks for "green energy."
also, that guy and his wife who made $1M in 2014 alone.
Ima anonymous troll called hater. What are your credentials?
I have a proven ability to recognize idiots, regardless of whether they are anonymous or not.
And you have proven that you do not want to debate the facts.
You are not in a position to debate climate change.
Now, if you wish to debate the reasons for the recent poor results of Liverpool FC, I am ready.

"And now this, straight from the Rubber Room of the White House......"
Trump's POTUS POINTS PLAN™ says after I've bought a case of toxic dyed Oval Office Pumps®, a King and Queen set of tariff-free Bangladeshi White House Sheets®, and a Camp David Welcome Mat® woven by blind child sex-slaves, I'll have reached the Trump Tower Gold Toilet awards level. I get to redeem my points and ass fuck Ivanka on Air Force One while watching Trump's personal porn collection of Ironman and TLLips cum swapping at a Klan gathering. That's when I'll start to get sick of all the winning.

The whole nation will be sick of winning with Trunt®, the new roll out of Trump-Cunt branding.

The 9th circus court of appeals is the most overturned court in captivity.
We can reduce reliance on airplanes with high speed railways.
Hydrogen can probably be used for jet fuel.
Also, a lot of the travel is business-related. It can be reduced due to video-conferencing.

Hey, by this time, OBAMA HAD A NOBEL PRIZE!
They said it wasn't for what he'd already done, but for what his Presidency would do for world and racial peace! Eight years and 4500 drone strikes later, racial tensions are at a fifty year high.
Those Norse really fucked that one up!
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals is now independently, on its own impetus, requesting an internal vote on a full panel en banc hearing to review its own decision.
En banc determinations happen in every court of appeals. Federal Rules of Appeals title VII rule 35. https://www.law.cornell.edu/rules/frap/rule_35
You are surprised by it only because you know zero about government, laws, and the judiciary system.

How much of this stupid gun pointing at police, resulting in your untimely death, is a reflexive reaction ingrained by the local environment?
If you live in a virtual war zone you learn to react quickly to people pointing weapons at you over and over.
Then one day it happens to be a cop, and you react before you consciously analyze your situation and the odds of you surviving this encounter by not reacting.

This was caused by trump putting the court on the hook for future terrorist attacks committed by immigrant/refugees.
No way they would have asked for this otherwise. The chronology of events confirms this.
IOW's, another win for Trump!
Rule 35. En Banc Determination
(a) When Hearing or Rehearing En Banc May Be Ordered. A majority of the circuit judges who are in regular active service and who are not disqualified may order that an appeal or other proceeding be heard or reheard by the court of appeals en banc. An en banc hearing or rehearing is not favored and ordinarily will not be ordered unless:
(1) en banc consideration is necessary to secure or maintain uniformity of the court's decisions; or
(2) the proceeding involves a question of exceptional importance.?

Sure, whatever you say dude. Overturning a presidential executive order certainly is a question of minor importance.
Why else would you fucking Libbies be in favor of sanctuary cities?
If the only crime is crossing border, that's one thing but if it is committing felonies such as those described in article, that's different.
Most of the people who want to prosecute small business owners probably do not actually know first thing about running a business.
most of time I'd take Mexican over lazy, entitled, usually low-class bricktuckian
Only about 80% of the time, but Dickhead Bobby is our resident "expert" on everything government.
Everyone on the planet is an expert on government compared to you. But it's ok, ignorance it bliss and you are maximum blissed out.
APOCALYPSEFUCK_is_ADORABLE says
Trump's POTUS POINTS PLANâ„¢
Is this like MAGA! Club premium points? Can I belong to both?
It's very similar in structure, and is cross marketed. MAGA is creatively linked to the prison system now owned and run by Jared Kushner. MAGA members should already enjoy being fucked in the ass and being incarcerated. Since you are probably currently on some work-release or parole arrangement and have a prior history of prison sex you would be an optimal candidate for membership in the plan.
