Accelerating melt of ice sheets now 'unmistakable'
placeholder replied to onthedarkside's topic in World News
For those members going on and about about the prophesiers of "doom and gloom" here is a link to the IPCC page that addresses the issue of how to adapt to climate change, Climate Change 2022: Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg2/ And here is a link to what's called the Executive Summary: https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg2/chapter/summary-for-policymakers/ -

Share with me how the increased rate of melting of the ice sheets is about the behavior of those who prophesy doom and gloom. As for doom and gloom, get back to me when you acquaint yourself with the IPCC's report on remediation and adaptation. You've got nothing. -

How would their hypocrisy be relevant to the science. As for the rest of what you wrote, once again when someone has nothing germane to answer with, they try to make it personal. This topic about the scientific evidence that Greennalands and Antarctica's sheets are melting. Not about details of my home life. You've got nothing. -
Ex-CIA. Not the CIA. And the Biden campaign. Not the government. And far more threatening would be an actual government official using disinformation to support a political candidate. Good thing that never happens. Oh...wait a minute... Thirty-five days before the November 2020 election, Ratcliffe declassifed 2016 Russian disinformation that asserted Hillary Clinton had personally approved a scheme to associate Trump with Vladimir Putin and Russian hacking of the Democratic National Committee. Ratcliffe provided the disinformation to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham, who publicly released it. The allegation had been previously rejected as baseless by the Republican-controlled Senate Intelligence Committee. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Ratcliffe_(American_politician)

Got evidence that the FBI knew that? As for Acting DNI Ratcliffe, not exactly a trustworthy person. And you know why Ratcliffe was only acting DNI and not DNI? Trump ultimately withdrew his nomination for Ratcliffe to be DNI because he couldn't get enough backing from the Republican controlled Senate. "Ratcliffe has little experience in national security or national intelligence and is reported to have demonstrated little engagement on the matters as a congressman.[5][6][62] Trump's intent to nominate Ratcliffe became controversial when he was found to have misrepresented his role in prosecuting terrorism and immigration cases.[5][63][64]" And there's this: Thirty-five days before the November 2020 election, Ratcliffe declassifed 2016 Russian disinformation that asserted Hillary Clinton had personally approved a scheme to associate Trump with Vladimir Putin and Russian hacking of the Democratic National Committee. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Ratcliffe_(American_politician) This information has been characterized as baseless by a Republican Senate committee. Ratcliffe subsequently acknowledged that he couldn't vouch for its truthfulness. Now that is genuine abuse by Ratcliffe of Intelligence. He was an official of the US government when he released that information. And you persist in blaming what you call "the intelligence community". As already pointed out, the signatories were ex-employees of intelligence agencies.

Well, in the US, there's a thing called the First Amendment that protects speech, particularly in the case of public figures. But let's look at the alternative in the UK. Where the wealthy and the powerful routinely stifle investigations and criticism thanks to the UK's strict libel laws. The case of Robert Maxwell comes to mind. Investigative journalists were reluctant to publish informatoin that he was robbing pension funds to support his extravagant way of living. Thousands of workers owe their impoverishment to him. On balance, the US system can hold the wealthy and powerful to account in a way that the UK and other nations with similar laws can't.

Even if your comment about your friends is true, who cares? This is about the science. Not about the behavior of your alleged friends or the behavior of world leaders. Comments like yours have nothing to do with the overwhelming evidence of the increasing pace of the melting of the ice sheets on Greenland and the Antarctic. -
You have evidence that they knew that the laptop had genuine information on it? As has been repeatedly pointed out to you to no avail, the NY Post published this info without doing any investigative research on it at all. The reporter originally assigned to write it up refused because of the lack of investigation. Moreover, those who held the data, refused to share the metadata that would have helped determine its authenticity. I guess what I'm saying here is: You've got nothing.

How did you come up with the notion that mining waste is dirt?

Well, it's certainly not about irrelevance which is what characterizes your comment here. -

What defamation case, or far that matter any legal case in dispute, is there in which "if this or that" doesn't play a key role? -

Get back to me when economics is a science. And no they're not experts. There's no reason to expect that they even have any serious acquaintance with the scientific literature. What's more, the source you cited lied about their qualifications. It claimed they were climate scientists. And you trust such a source? -

What can I say to that but FALSE! First definition of false: not according with truth or fact; incorrect. https://www.google.com/search?q=definition+of+false&oq=definition+of+false&aqs=chrome..69i57.2502j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 Nothing to do with intent. And for public figures the standard is either malice or reckless disregard for the truth. -

Your reasoning looks weak to me. And if the DNA confirms a sexual encounter with Trump? Which he has vehemently and repeatedly denied. Of course, he still denies that anything happened between him and Stormy Daniels. -

Have the Democrats driven up the cost of fossil fuels? The Real Reason Big Oil Won’t Save the U.S. from High Gas Prices After years of losses prompted "capital discipline", oil companies are returning soaring profits to investors, not spending it on riskier new drilling projects. https://www.google.com/search?q=investors+demand+fossil+fuel+companies+cut+back+on+drilling&oq=investors+demand+fossil+fuel+companies+cut+back+on+drilling&aqs=chrome..69i57.12775j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 Big Oil Is Not Dancing To Government Tunes. Period. Doing a 180-degree turn and redirecting more money to oil and gas exploration would definitely make some investors unhappy. FT: Banks want oil companies to keep returning cash to shareholders instead of investing it in new production. A turnaround in energy company spending strategies cannot be expected in the short term. https://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/Big-Oil-Is-Not-Dancing-To-Government-Tunes-Period.html -

She saved a dress from the incident which supposedly has semen stains on it. Trump claims he never met her. -

Actually, the link was already posted by someone else and then I extracted a quote from it. Right here in this thread.
