We've been warming for several thousand years. If we weren't, I'd be living under or on top of, a two mile thick sheet of ice.
The main debate is, is man causing the warming?

Comment Censorship is useless (Score 1) 403
It's better to just use short range jamming on those freq's than to censor an entire network. Besides, it's not like the Brit's have a 4th amendment. It's just as easy to monitor certain accounts in real time, or nearly so.
A better question to ask might be, why their current, much vaunted CCTV surveillance isn't doing a better job of nabbing those hooilgans earlier in the process?

Could CA Violent Game Law Lead To an Industry Exodus? 142
donniebaseball23 writes "Oral arguments for the California games law are set to begin on November 2. It's a hugely important court case for the industry, and if the Supreme Court sides with the legislators it could lead to an exodus of talent from the games business, says one attorney. 'Certainly less games would be produced and there would be a corresponding job loss,' said Patrick Sweeney, who leads the Video Game practice at Reed Smith LLP. 'But I expect the impact will likely be significantly deeper. I believe the independent development community would be severely impacted. Innovation, both from a creative and technological aspect, would also be stifled. The companies, brands and individuals that we should be embracing as the visionaries of this creative and collaborative industry will migrate their talents to a more expressive medium.' Meanwhile, Dr. Cheryl K. Olson, author of Grand Theft Childhood, notes that even if California gets its way, it could backfire."
