A federal contractor was arrested over the weekend and accused of leaking a top-secret intelligence report on Russian hacking efforts during the 2016 presidential election.
Reality Leigh Winner, 25, appeared in federal court in Augusta, Ga., to face one charge of removing classified material from a government facility and mailing it to a news outlet, the Justice Department said Monday.
Yep and Joy Behar is a comedian.
Obama is a devout MARXIST. He has no time for religion other than Man Made Climate Change which is just another form of Marxism.
Uhhh.... no. Obama is a Christian.
Well, no. There is a temperature response on the multi-decadal time scale to changes in GHG concentrations, it's called the Transient Climate Response or TCR. Of course we have only fairly crude estimates of the TCR, but we definitely can't say with any confidence that no one living today will see any noticeable change. In fact, it's very possible (not certain, but possible) that we already have.
Beyond that, do you really feel that we should not care about the world we leave for our descendants? I certainly don't want to leave this Earth a worse place to live than I came into it. If I knew for certain that GHG emissions were going to make the surface of this planet unlivable for humans 500 years from now but have no noticeable effect during my lifetime, I'd be ethically bankrupt if I argued for business as usual. As it is I think we know enough to be very concerned.
Maybe I misread your paragraph and you're not saying that at all. If so, apologies!
No matter who is doing the studying or what is being studied someone will be profiting and the studies will be influenced. There's just no way around it.
Azure nailed it in his first post. I'm already biased because I do believe we're having an unreversible, negative impact on the Earth. But the part I have to admit is that I have no idea how much of an impact or what the consequences will be. Which is why I say this is a situation that I'd rather be safe than sorry.
Even if we agreed to NOTHING, I think Trump should be part of a group to at least study and address the issue.
Oh, I agree. Ask the Solyndra folks how that worked out, and people like Al Gore who make money from speaking about it. I believe he also owned a firm that sold carbon credits. The other part is the intended, and continued growth of government. This was another way the liberal/progressive (Dems) could get away with more government, higher taxes, fees, etc, and of course more government employees to administer all of it.
I have no problem with further studies if they are truly independent, and objective. When you hear some scientists say that there can be NO MORE debate, or that the "science is settled", that is when I get very skeptical. Also, I get skeptical when the solution is more big government, and more taxes, fees, surcharges, etc. Energy is our life's blood. To artificially increase the cost will have huge, negative economic impacts, and that is exactly what the government solutions are intended to do.
My client has locations in the UK where half the energy costs are to address "man made climate change". It is crazy.
Welcome Azure! Glad you are here!
Kathy Griffin accused President Donald Trump and his family of launching a campaign to destroy her life in response to the image she posted earlier this week in which she appeared to be holding the commander-in-chief's severed head.
The comedian broke down in tears as she detailed the torrent of abuse she has been receiving online, and the constant death threats which she described as detailed and specific.
She stated however that she will not back down from this fight, saying: 'I am not afraid of Donald Trump. He is a bully.'
Later in the interview Griffin said that her career was likely over now as a result of this incident, and that President Trump had 'broke' her, moments after she declared: 'There's a bunch of old white guys trying to silence me!'
Griffin at another point in the press conference declared that this would not be happening to her if she was a 'white man.'
CEOs of some major companies are upset about the pullout, also believing that man-made climate change is real and that we need to be proactive in this area. CEOs of Dana, Dow Chemical, Pacific Gas and Electric, DuPont, Proctor and Gamble, General Electric, Cargill, Johnson&Johnson, CocaCola, Unilever and dozens of others. I'm sorry you guys think it's a scam. I'm just glad that there are some people with influence who don't feel that way.
