"So, basically a bunch of luddites on the payroll of major corporations are trying to ensure those corporations have access to whatever private data they need to discredit the science?"
That's right. So does the smartest man in the world. And the second smartest man in the world and so on.
If it's correct, it gains traction.
If it's wrong, we'll know.
This is how science works. It is the very definition of it.
Secret rules is how churches work not science.
Also, math is either right or wrong. Your amusing screed, which amounts to "guys smarter than me know you're wrong but I can't explain how" did not falsify anything I said. Yo literally do not understand what you're talking about.
It does not surprise me people you work with know more than you. The model is still wrong and that's still why it can't be used to craft public policy.
Care to put money on this?
I've read all that. It's what you haven't read is the problem.
When your opponent starts off with an adhiminem you know they have no data.

As for the great lakes, they froze early, thawed late and had 100 year record levels of ice; some froze completely which is nearly unprecedented and niagara falls froze twice in 2 years.
All signs of a warming world no doubt.
But please drag out the weasel words and explain this. Extra points or quoting "Skeptical science".

Look how much it's grown:

It did melt, because it was warmer. It grew back because it was colder, not still warming.

Who expects it to grow back all thick? Give it time, now that it's reflecting back sunlight it'll happen.
As this point "Skeptical science" has the credibility of "Natural News".
Not one prediction by the IPCC ever came true.

That's the problem with you alarmists, you're familiar with the headlines but have never seen the actual data. Stop reading opinions on blogs.
"What matters is volume, not surface area."
Newsflash: if it's white it reflect back sunlight regardless of the thickness.
It all grew back in a "warming world" with rising Co2 in five years and isn't a mile thick. No shit. It'll thicken, don't you worry about it.
Gore said it would be gone by now. The opposite happened.
Which part of "has genes it can switch on to handle this" did you not understand?
Coral doesn't "suffer" the very delicate animal either keeps growing or dies.
Bad analogy.
All XP gets regular updates. They have to or the net would break.
H1B fees and legal expenses are not cheap, nor is paying international relocation expenses for a candidate and his/her family, so we're certainly not saving money by hiring H1B's.
You just described the alternative of paying enough to make your total package competitive as being too expensive. It sounds like you're saving money by that any reasonable definition, even after the government and lawyers take their share. If it wasn't cheaper than raising your pay rates, you wouldn't be doing it.
That being said, I'm willing to grant that a company that hires PhD level people is much more likely to run into a real hard limit when it comes to finding subject matter experts, and they're the types of operations that the H1B system is supposed to work for on paper. If we did the sensible thing and auctioned off H1B slots and allowed them to be resold on an open market, those are probably the types of companies that would buy them.
Actually I was thinking nuclear power rather than magic.
I agree with the other commenter, there will be lots of people living in space if they can only get there. Mars is a good start.
What is Turkey actually saying? What are the pesky details?
Why don't you look at the video and tell me which parts are false.
I've seen it. I was sorta surprised. If it's accurate (and I haven't checked all of it) then it does indeed raise a few questions.
What if the video is accurate?
Have you seen it?
If not then yours is the fallacy of the argument from ignorance.
Go watch it then we can talk.
No question a lot of people died.
