  1. Another problem with the data is that it judges hurricane intensity on the basis of the Saffir-Simpson scale. But, climatologists and meteorologists are becoming increasingly dissatisfied with the scale because it doesn't take into account the volume of precipitation. Has the atmosphere and the oceans warm, hurricanes are dumping increasing volumes of precipitation with calamitous consequences.
  2. Actually, the data is only for hurricanes that strike the USA. And the data say nothing at All about the frequency or intensity of typhoons in the Pacific.
  3. You read no such thing in the 2000's. Unless you were reading from papers published in the 70's. Back then, there were a few papers published by climatologists, which was a new science then, that postulated the earth might be cooling. But even back then. the majority of papers favored warming. THE MYTH OF THE 1970s GLOBAL COOLING SCIENTIFIC CONSENSUS An enduring popular myth suggests that in the 1970s the climate science community was predicting “global cooling” and an “imminent” ice age, an observation frequently used by those who would undermine what climate scientists say today about the prospect of global warming. A review of the literature suggests that, on the contrary, greenhouse warming even then dominated scientists' thinking as being one of the most important forces shaping Earth's climate on human time scales. More importantly than showing the falsehood of the myth, this review describes how scientists of the time built the foundation on which the cohesive enterprise of modern climate science now rests. https://journals.ametsoc.org/view/journals/bams/89/9/2008bams2370_1.xml If you're looking for a scam, try looking closer to home.
  4. And I hope you don't mind to me pointing out ignorramuses who don't understand that the issue isn't climate change per se but the rate of change and what's causing it.
  5. Members will be shocked to learn that this recent development never appeared on foxnews.com.
  6. Stop making things up. Isaac Newton never said any such thing.
  7. Republican election denier Tina Peters sentenced to 9 years in prison for voting data scheme Politics Oct 3, 2024 5:43 PM EDT A judge ripped into a Colorado county clerk for her crimes and lies before sentencing her Thursday to nine years behind bars for a data-breach scheme spawned from the rampant false claims about voting machine fraud in the 2020 presidential race. District Judge Matthew Barrett told former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters — after earlier sparring with her for continuing to press discredited claims about rigged voting machines — that she never took her job seriously... Jurors found Peters guilty in August for allowing a man to misuse a security card to access to the Mesa County election system and for being deceptive about that person’s identity. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/republican-election-denier-tina-peters-sentenced-to-9-years-in-prison-for-voting-data-scheme
  8. Sen. JD Vance, the Republican vice presidential nominee, confirmed to reporters Saturday that former President Donald Trump is "consistent" in his views on defunding Planned Parenthood. A journalist asked Vance, R-Ohio, whether a future Trump administration would defund Planned Parenthood, the reproductive health care group that has garnered opposition from many conservatives for its pro-abortion-rights positions. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/vance-says-future-trump-administration-defund-planned-parenthood-rcna174211 I believe him. I believe most women Wii, too.
  9. Republicans are pouring tens of millions of dollars into getting GOP voters to cast ballots before Election Day... In just the last few weeks, the former president has dismissed early voting as “stupid,” falsely claimed that 20 percent of mail ballots in Pennsylvania are “fraudulent,” suggested mail carriers could “lose hundreds of thousands of ballots, maybe purposefully,” and baselessly accused Democrats of exploiting a program that sends ballots to overseas and military voters to evade citizenship checks. Trump’s vilification of mail and early voting methods, a key component of his web of stolen-election conspiracy theories, stoked a deep partisan divide that Republicans have spent the better part of the last four years trying to undo. https://www.politico.com/news/2024/10/06/trumps-early-voting-00182611
  10. Republicans are pouring tens of millions of dollars into getting GOP voters to cast ballots before Election Day. They’re frustrated because Donald Trump keeps getting in the way. In just the last few weeks, the former president has dismissed early voting as “stupid,” falsely claimed that 20 percent of mail ballots in Pennsylvania are “fraudulent,” suggested mail carriers could “lose hundreds of thousands of ballots, maybe purposefully,” and baselessly accused Democrats of exploiting a program that sends ballots to overseas and military voters to evade citizenship checks. https://www.politico.com/news/2024/10/06/trumps-early-voting-00182611

The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) is a nonprofit, anti-immigration organization in the United States.[6][7] The group publishes position papers, organizes events, and runs campaigns in order to advocate for changes in U.S. immigration policy.

  15. Evangelicals take heed! Helene hit Trump strongholds in Georgia and North Carolina. It could swing the election. Hurricane Helene hit especially hard in heavily Republican areas of Georgia and North Carolina — a fact that could work to Donald Trump’s disadvantage in the two swing states. Research has shown that major disasters can influence both voter turnout and voter preference. And Helene has pushed this contest into novel territory: It’s the first catastrophic event in U.S. history to hit two critical swing states within six weeks of a presidential election, based on a POLITICO’s E&E News analysis of data compiled by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. https://www.politico.com/news/2024/10/04/helene-trump-georgia-north-carolina-elections-00182448

  17. The OP's link doesn't work. Here's one that links to the story. https://www.yahoo.com/news/florida-nearing-toss-status-top-174639754.html "Florida is nearing toss-up status as top Republican poll shows Trump’s lead nearly vanished Donald Trump’s lead in his home state of Florida has dwindled, putting it in play for Kamala Harris, a poll suggests. The former president leads the vice president by just two percentage points in the Sunshine State, where he has his Mar-a-Lago residence, according to a Thursday survey by Napolitan News Service conducted by RMG Research, which has historically favored Republicans."
  18. Actually what's on meersheimer wrote was called The Israel lobby and US Foreign Policy. Not insignificant that you turned "Israel" into "Jewish".
  19. Because he says vile nasty things. Not the kind of language designed to inspire love and affection, except maybe among sadists and bullies.
  20. And you clearly don't understand that there are civil laws that subject malicious liars to penalties. This didn't start with Alex Jones.
  21. Do you believe that the Sandy Hook incident was actually staged, that no children were killed, and that the people who claim they were parents were actors instead?
  22. Now we have two interesting issues. One is your refusal to answer the original question. And the second is that you think it might apply better to modern times. Maybe you should change your avatar name to DavidIrvingSlightlyLite.
  23. And now that you've seen these documents, do you think that Hitler was correct and claiming that Jews in Germany wielded too much influence?
  24. In either case it's going to be his opinion. Unless you believe in his absolute objectivity
  25. Of course it was Hitler's opinion. I'm not sure why you think that needs to be qualified with "subjective".I'm asking whether it's his opinion that Hitler made a good point in claiming that Jews had too much influence in Germany.
