US territory is tainted in the eyes of the world now.
That's the main point. The article is about Canada trying to convince companies to move, but it's pretty unlikely that Canada is the only country doing that.

The summary (and the report it quotes) is inaccurate. Car owners *can* demand that the companies destroy the data.
The only problem is, the companies will just ignore the demand.
Fiberoptics for data transmission: "Laser beams will have to be led through plastic pipes, to avoid material and atmospheric interference."
What a fraud. Fiberoptics use glass, not plastic.
Sure, and they could charge tolls to fix the potholes in the streets, too.
The cars are labelled and in most cases the fire departments can quickly determine the range of product that might be inside and should be able to deal with it.
In the case of the Lac Megantic accident, the cars were labelled to be less volatile than they really were. If they had been correctly labelled, maybe someone would have objected to leaving the train unmanned at the top of a hill on the main line overnight.
Wacko environmentalists made it virtually impossible to trim trees and/or cut them down in their advanced age and/or deceased state
That's an interesting twist on it. I would have said it was budget cutters who decimated the urban forestry budget. The trees on private land were in much better shape than the ones on public land.
If you own the data, you should be able to do what you want with it, right?
Sure, you can sell copies to other people, too. You've already sold a copy to them.
which in turn will allow England to cool to a temperature more in keeping with it's latitude ( North Dakota type latitude).
North Dakota runs from about 46 to 49 degrees north. England is 99.9% north of 50 degrees. It would be more accurate to say it's "James Bay type latitude".
You should be more careful when you're criticizing people for their ignorance.
If you have an infinite budget, it makes sense to do that. The NSA comes pretty close.
That's because "data management practitioners" spend their time practicing data management. I bet if you asked the "data analysts" about it, they'd say most of the important work dealing with data is in the analysis, but they still need to waste 20% of their time on data preparation and integration.
I will swear in a court of law that I did read things that were not there, and were no where in his linked graph. I read the reports it came from. Guilty as charged, you have found me out.
And the error (or is it intellectual dishonesty? I can't tell) comes when you attribute those things you read to someone who didn't say them.
Anonymous cowards are nobodies. I'd expect you to be saying it!
I don't see how Arctic air temperature is at all relevant to a story about a ship stuck in Antarctic ice.
But you also seem to be reading things that just aren't there. The post *did not* say "Ha!". It was a statement of a fact. That's all.
The GP posted a statement of fact, relevant to the story. Doesn't sound like a denialist to me.
More likely the GP was replying to the post he replied to.
