July 1936 was the hottest month in the temperature record, then it wasn't, now it is again; so who is the denialist? RSS temperature data set shows no warming for 17 years and even hunts at a possible cooling, UAH temperature record shows no significant warming for 17 years and the USCRN even shows a 10 year pause in warming; so again who is the denialist?

On what planet do you live where it's considered critical thinking to increase taxes on an industry that has been so decimated by subsidized renewable power that they literaly have paid people to use the power so the grid isn't damgaed by the over-supply? Renewables aren't manageable so they're goin to need a lot more peaking capacity and that'll mean selling your souls to buy up more of Putin's fracked Natural gas. You watermelons will not be happy untill anything resembling human civilization has been reduced to ruin.

You would be better off with two more on each side of the car and losing the outside mirrors, those things are like speed-brakes on a fighter jet; after that you can shutter the radiator grill so your not pushing that turbulence when the radiator doesn't need air-flow and wheel well skirts and full-moon hub caps help tons.

Neutrinos do not produce Cerenkov radiation (light booms, caused by traveling faster than light) in a vacuum, but they do in a fluid such as they do at neutrino detectors such as this one.

Cerenkov radiation when a particle travels faster than light in a given medium, such as a neutron can travel faster through water than light can but still travels slower than the speed of light in a vacuum.

If that isn't confusing, consider the article says light that always has to travel at the speed of light, can't travel at the speed of light because light isn't always light!

When a news media outlet confuses an Email client program like Outlook with a Email/Calendering server program like Exchange Server, I become suspicious of either the reporter's veracity or his ability to know when he's getting a dog and pony show; yet your link reports

Emails considered an "official record" of the IRS couldn't be deleted and, in fact, needed to also have a hard copy filed. Those emails that constitute an official record are ones that are loosely defined under IRS policy as ones that were "[c]reated or received in the transaction of agency business," "appropriate for preservation as evidence of the government's function or activities," or "valuable because of the information they contain".

Which I read as any Email that is actually work related, rather than when your buddy two cubes over is going to lunch.

Expecpt the IRS uses Exchange Server so at best a copy of the emails were on Lerner's computer; what happened to the backups for the server if the Exchange Administrator didn't specifically delete them out of the archive folder?
