In addition to that, it is the oceans that are supposed to keep all the accumulated heat. But according to the best available measurements (the ARGO probes), it is just not showing up: http://judithcurry.com/2011/01/07/wheres-the-missing-heat/
I guess the old adage applies: If the facts do not conform to the theory, they must be disposed of.

Agreeing with everything except for the last sentence. Remember, diplomats are paid to lie, deceive, and cheat, all the while keeping the other side happily ignorant of the reality. The diplomatic leak makes for an entertaining read, but I understand why the gov't has their knickers in a knot over the significant portions of that stuff.

If the service providers see a possibility to sign up more people on their data plans by offering discounts on bandwidth to some particular resource, like FB, they are going to do just that. Of course, the discounted access will be appropriately traffic shaped to allow them to charge more people for using the network at the same time. As the OP put it, it is inevitable, and has been in the development for many years now, just lookup the 3GPP policy enforcement specifications.

Freedom works both ways. I give you the freedom of speech, but please allow me the freedom to not do business with you.

So, it is OK to refuse doing business with, say, people of color, because it is a matter of freedom? I wasn't aware it worked that way, but it got modded up on Slashdot, so it must be true.
