Comment Schumer is an idiot. (Score 0) 713

Considering that the amount of fossil fuels (coal and natural gas) required to produce all that electricity to recharge the batteries of EV's and the fact that adding one electric vehicle at your home to the grid is about the same as adding 3 houses to the grid, this is just a monumentally stupid idea.

"In Antarctica, the mass loss in the west proceeds unabated, which is very bad news for sea level rise," Velicogna said. "But we also observe a mass gain in the Atlantic sector of east Antarctica caused by an increase in snowfall, which helps mitigate the enormous increase in mass loss that we've seen in the last two decades in other parts of the continent."

In layman's terms, this means that there is no sea-level rise as it is mitigated by gains in another sector of Antarctica.

Who wants to bet this "theoretical" 2.2MM rise will be cited by every Greta Thunberg wannabe on the internet without mentioning the mitigating increase?

From the article: "The Googler, sitting nearby in his car, played the Nest Cam tape for them—Yep, it’s her—and the police pulled a $107.66 Apple Magic Keyboard from Fairley’s purse and black tar heroin from her coin pocket."

Wow! That porch pirate must have been starving since all she had to eat in her purse was the Black Tar Heroin, right? (begin sarcasm) Poor drug addict oppressed by the rich guy's doorbell camera. (end sarcasm)

Comment Nothing is random... (Score -1) 480

After reading this silly article, I could help but think of the old adage that "There is no such thing as random".

I thought this because It seems obvious to me that this article is just a response to President Trump's position that MERIT should determine who is allowed to immigrate to our country. The President is correct. This article is ridiculous on it's face. I'll stick with Merit.

Correction at bottom of story:

"A previous version of this story incorrectly stated that investigators cracked Cotten's laptop and discovered money was missing. In fact, they have possession of his laptop and identified money was missing through public blockchain records."

Comment Pseudo Science at it's finest. (Score -1) 354

If Johan Rockstrom claims that CURRENT weather is affected by climate change then he is an absolute fraud. It doesn't matter whether you think climate change is natural or seriously affected by man. Climate change is a process that takes HUNDREDS of years to make even the SLIGHTEST temperature difference in the AVERAGE temperature. NASA’s Goddard institute says the Earth’s average global temperature has risen by 0.8 degrees Celsius or 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit since 1880. That certainly isn't creating any superstorms or heatwaves or any other such current inclement weather changes. Climate change , no matter the cause, takes a long time to make any changes at all.
