Yeah, the whole "climate change" thing is some nutty marketing idea. The simple fact is that the astronomical temperature of Earth is a fairly constant 300K if I recall my sums correctly. As with all facts in the real world, it isn't really that simple. All astronomical bodies have a variety of diff...

The first indication I had that AGW was a scam was when the proponents didn't follow their own advice while asking everyone else to give them money. This is about Al Gore actually flying in jets to go to speaking engagements, isn't it? The confusion of thought necessary to ignore blatant facts just...

So if I accept the science that says that the world is warming and that human action is responsible for at least a portion of it, I also have to accept that government intervention is the right thing to do about it and that the necessary intervention will make everyone poorer? I reject your reality ...

The most that can be said about the new data analysis is it shows that US air temperatures aren't changing as fast as the Berkeley analysis says they are, and with a methodology that is still open to debate. It still shows a clear warming trend, and doesn't give any actual feedback on anthropic infl...

Does anyone else note the irony that this thread says "morality never changes" and cites an example where morality certainly has changed just in the last few decades? Has it really changed? In-group/out-group dynamics like this are persistent in all cultures and if suppressed in one area tend to ju...

A corporation is a collective of the share holders, and properly derives rights as such. Under my plan dividends paid to shareholders would be taxable income. To tax corporate income on top of that is double taxation, and a penalty for organized private cooperative economic activity. Not all corpor...

The US didn't have notable prohibitory drug laws until the 20th century, and the history of intrusive policing in the US has been entirely contained within that period. And now we are shifting into second gear bullsh*t. As has been explained to Simon and others, time and time and time again, they s...
