Anti-science: Physics professor who is 100% correct.

Florida erosion: Florida has been eroding since humans have been keeping records. Al Gore said it would be underwater.. then bought an ocean front mansion.

You have nothing to say b/c you have no facts, just talking points.

Not the first time:

Lot of bs videos, climate change:

But read the comments saying he has ties to Exxon or basic research and find out he's funded by a coal company, Peabody Energy - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peabody_Energy

Like a lawyer paid for by the Tobacco Industry, nah, smoking doesn't cause cancer.

Brainwashed right, while big companies capitalize on it.

Prager U using paid off people from the fossil fuel industry.

"(His affiliation with Peabody was disclosed on the hearing schedule.)"

The other video you posted, the one I quoted above, paid off by same company, Peabody.

It would be like us discussing whether smoking causes cancer and mr.x comes to the thread posting up testimony from the scientist hired by the tobacco industry.

You know JB believes in global warming because it's probably 107 in Orlando today?

But I just got an update that it's 2 degrees in Pyeongchang as the athletes prep for the Olympics.

It's a nice 82. Plus all the science, beach erosion etc.

You know only idiots believe that climate change means extreme heat. That would be weather, not climate.

Thanks for the science lesson, but it's no surprise, that the humor flew over your humorless head!

You discredit everything someone says, even when it's easily proved correct because a far-left blog claims to he is on the payroll of a company with an opposing view.

Bought and paid for, or hired to express a fact based argument.

You right, that's why it's been branded as global warming, then re-branded as climate change. But both are cyclical.

The U.S. is now the only country not part of Paris climate agreement after Syria signs on

If that isn't consensus.

Not a scientific one for sure. Real scientist don't insist on people who disagree with a THEORY be put in jail.

Exactly How Much U.S. Debt Does China Own? And Why?
https://www.thebalance.com/u-s-debt-to-china-how-much-does-it-own-3306355

The U.S. debt to China is $1.2 trillion as of November 2017. That's 19 percent of the $6.3 trillion in Treasury bills, notes, and bonds held by foreign countries. The rest of the $20 trillion national debt is owned by either the American people or by the U.S. government itself.

Maybe, US debt is a good investment for for China.

The US and other Western countries should charge China for its growing large-scale theft of ideas and patents, trademark and product piracy, that has cost the West much more than what the Chinese have loaned out...

With all this stealing of technology going on by China, let's do the math and see who owes who more...

Very interesting article below...
Product Piracy Goes High-Tech Nabbing Know-How in China
It used to be jeans and Adidas. Now, though, China is becoming adept at stealing much more technologically advanced products -- like passenger jets and magnetic railway systems. Is this the beginning of an economy based on thievery?

Democrats are watching every progressive policy they've advocated for in the last eight years be proven wrong and are at a loss.

TL;DR, Custom cake isn't a commodity and requires artistic talent. Buy a pre-made cake or go down the street.

Finally a unbiased judge with brains... Seems to me that many of these gay people where simply mean spirited people that destroyed the lives and businesses of several Christian Bakeries on purpose.

They never did that with Muslim bakeries, did they? Probably too sh*t scared of the repercussions...

BS-Promote likes to bring his humorless humor into this thread, every now and then....

Beach erosion. please it's different depending on all sorts of variables- watch this.

After all, who can't see the humor in people refusing to take responsibility for their own actions, you know, like REAL conservatives would.

He admitted it. He also admitted he's not a climatologist.

We really are in this territory:

It would be like us discussing whether smoking causes cancer and mr.x comes to the thread posting up testimony from the scientist hired by the tobacco industry.

Where overwhelmingly, scientists, doctors, people studying these issues agree, climate change is real, smoking does cause health issues/cancer and the reply is some paid for by big company person, says something different. We both know there is nothing I'm going to post that will change your mind or some climate denier mind. Some people just aren't into reality, science etc. I'm not sure where that started, I think big corps paying people off. So I'm going to believe in facts, science, you don't have to. There really isn't much to discuss on this.

And I love when Trump says "beautiful, clean, coal." Run yourself a bath, throw some coal in there and tell me how clean you feel. Coal isn't clean.

Beach erosion. please it's different depending on all sorts of variables- watch this.

I live in Florida, this is something that's been studied here.

Let's see if I got this global warming/climate change argument down. The earth by most "estimates" is 4.5 billion years old. Temperatures were first recorded around 1880. So let's decide that because the global average temperature has risen 2 degrees in the past 138 years, that must mean we must now throw a bunch of U.S. money at the problem, while many scientists agree that the small sample size of 138 years out of 4.5 billion may not be all that indicative of a permanent rise in global temperatures but they do agree:

"Gradual changes in Earth's climate of this kind have been frequent during the Earth's 4500 million year existence and most often are attributed to changes in the configuration of continents and ocean sea ways."

But since Syria is in, we should join them as soon as they're done spraying their citizens with Sarin gas!

Good grief, what a waste of time and money!

 

[JB Lions]

Side note, what do you think Trump's move will be? He has 4 days to decide to release the Democrat memo or not. Even Jr. called the Republican one revenge. It's already been taken apart, Nunes already admitted the "footnote".

So does he release it, knowing it will further make him, Nunes, etc. look like fools?

Or does he not release it, showing everybody they'll release the Republican one, not the Democrat one, which will be just too obvious.

Seems like he put himself in a no-win situation

 

[DNWon]

what do you think Trump's move will be?

It will and should get released!

Just saw this pop up. When Mr. I never settle, chose to settle his big fraud:
