DeSantis Pushes Back on Climate Change’s Role in Stronger Storms
placeholder replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Given that your objection is that same one has been repeated ad nauseam by anthropogenic climate change denialists, it's apparent that there is a serious blind spot denialists have in understanding very basic math. The issue isn't whether or not the climate is changing, but the rate of change. For example, if you were shopping to open a savings account and a bank were to offer you 2 savings accounts that were the same in every way except that one offered a 2% rate and the other a 10% rate, would it be a matter of indifference to you which one you would choose? -
And think of how many less convictions for violent crime there would be if legal immigration was also terminated. And all those illegal immigrants are guilty of the very dangerous crime of existing in the US. Such a dangerous crime that it's a misdemeanor. Like jaywalking. Actually, given the disparity between crime rates committed by illegal immigrants and native Americans, you might be better advised to characterize expulsion of illegal immigrants as a way of protecting them from the bad genes of comparatively violent Americans.

Harris mingled with Tehran regime operative who promotes terrorism

Here's more about Vidino: https://bridge.georgetown.edu/research/factsheet-lorenzo-vidino/ -
Maybe you should look closer to home for stupid submissions. The Cato Institute did a massive study of what percentage of illegal immigrants committed crimes in Texas vs legal immigrants and vs native born Americans. They chose Texas because, unlike most other states, it keeps records that record immigration status. Also, it's got a big population and, by virtue of its geography, lots of illegal immigrants. Here's what they found: Thus, there were 1,797 criminal convictions of natives for every 100,000 natives, 899 criminal convictions of illegal immigrants for every 100,000 illegal immigrants, and 611 criminal convictions of legal immigrants for every 100,000 legal immigrants (Figure 1). As a percentage of their respective populations, there were 50 percent fewer criminal convictions of illegal immigrants than of native-born Americans in Texas in 2015. The criminal conviction rate for legal immigrants was about 66 percent below the native-born rate. https://www.cato.org/publications/immigration-research-policy-brief/criminal-immigrants-texas-illegal-immigrant#convictions

Terrorgram (sometimes stylised in all caps)[2] refers to a decentralized network[1] of Telegram channels and accounts that subscribe to or promote militant accelerationism. Terrorgram channels are neo-fascist in ideology, and regularly share instructions and manuals on how to carry out acts of racially-motivated violence[clarification needed] and anti-government terrorism. Terrorgram is a key communications forum for individuals and networks attached to Atomwaffen Division, The Base, and other explicit militant accelerationist groups.[3] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrorgram

Democrat regime censorship found unconstitutional
placeholder replied to Yagoda's topic in Political Soapbox
Yes. But the difference is that when Russian agents stole Democratic documents Trump applauded them. He doesn't seem to be applauding the Iranians. -
You really can't spot the difference. Back then, his speech was smooth and coherent. He could offer relevant comments on questions that were raised. Whereas his performance in the debate with Harris was an exercise in hysteria. And there's also his inventive memory...

Trump Camp Worked With Musk’s X to Censor My Reporting The Trump campaign coordinated with Elon Musk’s X (née Twitter) to kill circulation of my publication of the J.D. Vance Dossier, The New York Times reported today. Simply put, X colluded with a political campaign to restrict the public’s access to information about a Vice Presidential candidate just weeks before the election.... The Trump campaign claims that my publication of the Vance dossier constitutes election interference. https://www.kenklippenstein.com/p/trump-camp-worked-with-musks-x-to -
DOJ sues Virginia for removing non citizens from the voter rolls

Possible non-citizens. Not proven non-citizens. And doing it so close to the election is in violation of the law. -

So much nonsense from you. Here for instance is a link to an article about houses being demolished or moved in Nantucket because of the encroaching ocean. https://archive.ph/1i1pO#selection-1165.0-1173.1 People with lots of money are still buying homes that are threatened because losing them is not a big deal. As for "I thing the oceans were going to rise during the next 10 years."...the ocean is rising. Please share with us what climatologist claimed that the ocean was rising so fast around that Obama's home was going to be swallowed up by the sea in 10 years. What garbage dump of a website did you get that info about Plymouth rock from? In fact, Plymouth rock is not located on its original site. "However, Plymouth Rock has been moved multiple times since 1620. According to Donna D. Curtin, Executive Director of the Pilgrim Hall Museum, the rock has "unquestionably" been relocated several times, including its complete excavation and relocation onto the shoreline in 1920. This fact complicates the perception that it remains in its original location, as it has been moved and altered multiple times over the centuries.[5][6]" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plymouth_Rock Other than these few quibbles, thanks for the great post. -
August 2024: Texas removed over 1 million ineligible voters
placeholder replied to riclag's topic in Political Soapbox
Wow! What's even more astonishing and exciting is that these figuures are nothing out of the ordinary. "Nearly 500,000 of the voters purged during the time period highlighted by Mr. Abbott were dead. About the same number were cleared after they were put on a list of people who did not vote in two successive general elections and are believed to have moved. Those numbers were roughly equivalent to the number of voters in those categories removed in previous years." https://archive.ph/dfBFD In short, AMAZING!!! -

Or you can emerge from that dark cloud of ignorance you dwell in and learn that none of the authorities in the position to do something about climate change are recommending drastic overnight solutions. If you bother to do a little bit of web surfing you could learn what means of remediation are being enacted or proposed. -

So, to your way of thinking, there's a massive conspiracy by climatologists to disseminate falsehoods about climate change. Conspiracy thinking is the last refuge of the cornered and clueless. -

There are also various chlorofluorocarbons, nitrous oxide, and ozone. I guess at at lease some H2O can be considered anthropogenic in that as temperatures rise the atmosphere can hold more of it. So the excess would be an instance of anthropogenic forcing. -

What shocks me is the inability of some people to understand that the level of H2O in the atmosphere is self-limiting. Get back to us when the atmosphere starts precipitating CO2 and methane. -

Sorry. I conflated your post with another member's. However, you still haven't cited any source for that ridiculous claim that somehow assigns the responsibility for the current rapid pace of climate change to Krakatoa. Making things up much? -
What's even worse, she mockingly imitates people with physical handicaps. And she insults women about their looks...oh wait...that's not her...

You sure about that? Does the Democratic post Dobbs special election overperforming apply to the presidential election? First, let's note the trend. Democratic Party candidates have outperformed polls in 58 special elections by an average of 3.8 percentage points ... But as Daily Kos Elections Contributing Editor Daniel Donner has researched extensively historically, there has been a strong correlation between special election results taken in aggregate and general elections for the US House in November of the even-numbered year. Now, maybe this year is going to be an outlier, or maybe that historical correlation will simply come to an end, but at this point, there are going to be almost no more special elections between now and November. https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2024/9/21/2271935/-Does-the-Democratic-post-Dobbs-special-election-overperforming-apply-to-the-presidential-election-Y

It's funny. Scientists have detected a weak positive correlation between a logwarming and solar activity. But the thing is, for the past several solar cycles, solar activity has actually been very subdued. Just during this last cycle has it picked up. And as I pointed out, the effect would still be weak. -
Thank you for sharing your feelings with me.
