Do you really think that would \have stopped Russia separatists?
It wouldn't have because they know the Ukraine wouldn't use them, or do you seriously believe the Ukraine would have used nukes on it's own soil?

If Russia threaten the Ukraine with nuclear force, then the US, and others, will step in.

Ukrainian nuclear disarmament is a red herring.

Here is the thing.
Every time series discussion starts to happen, certain politician derail, misdirect, or blatantly stop the discussion.
It doesn't fit their constituent theology and/or ideology.

Since disease means the world will become too polluted and warm for human civilization, most main stream 'cures' won't be worse.

What correct means in this case is 'control for known variables.'

As an example. Suppose you have a thermometer above a surface that will make the thermometer read 2 degrees warmer.
You control the variable(correct). and subtract 2 degree for the appropriate times.

That is just a simple example i an ideal world with no other factors. Don't take it to e anything more than that.

You are not a skeptic. Skeptics use critical thinking skills. You are a denier who thinks they are skeptical.

"The ground station temperature data has been quite thoroughly manipulated, always "adjusted" in the direction of confirming the theories of the researcher making the adjustment, Pardon my skepticism about that data."
False.

" But now there's this new satellite data that must be "processed" to be understood."
Like ALL satellite data.

You really don't know what you are talking about. Why don't you turn your so called skepticism on those very claims?
