'torrenting' is most definitely illegal - because you are 'uploading' instead of just downloading via a direct link.

Did you really just ask if he'd RTFB...in the land of never RTFA? :)

This is where your concept falters. These weren't laws for the public safety. They were abusing such laws to make money. So egregiously in fact that the police department in Waldo was literally disbanded by the state for their flagrant violations.

his point is towns like Hampton, FL or Waldo, FL.

Towns that literally re-drew their jurisdictions to cover a slice of a high volume highway and set about becoming the one of the worst speed traps in the US. Look at the maps. Hampton literally is a square with one long sliver out to the highway. Only one reason to have that.

Since most states now have 'move over' laws requiring you to give a lane of clearance to police and emergency personnel...this is provably making police SAFER. We're trying to get people to follow the law - both the speed law and the safety law.

That the this attack on waze came under the false pretense of 'officer safety is the height of hypocrisy

Well it does get people to slow down too. :) And also, warning people about speed traps is free speech according to the legal system linky

Kinda of like your strawman assertion that scientists are 'toeing the line' rather than simply in agreement?

Re: # 2 see above.

If you don't know that water vapor is the MAJOR GHG then you sir are wildly uninformed. If you do know this, and I believe you do, then it's more than relevant since you also know that it IS frequently cited as 'more important' than CO2 by deniers.

Which goes back to my original post. There are caveats on every single graph, but when they ALL start pointing in the same direction, it's time to stop screaming and listen.

or perhaps it doesn't pass scientific muster. Science can't be disproven, it's factual yet none of the detractors can prove anything other than what we're actually seeing, which is warming.

YOU said that 'greenies' always bring up heat as estimates, I brought up one of the right-wing deniers favorites doing the EXACT SAME THING.

Indeed. 'A' warm summer is weather. 'A' record breaking summer is weather. 'A' summer that is SO HOT you have to redo your temperature chart...is also weather, but, as noted above, when multiple separate points start aligning, it means something more.

We're done here, obviously.

well looky here linky The oceans have been absorbing heat so fast it 'broke' their chart. And guess what, that WILL radiate to the environment as well.

References please

What about municipalities rights? Isn't that 'closer to the people' which is double plus good right?

Seriously though, google is your friend. A 'greenhouse' gas is not a 'gas present in greenhouses'. It's a gas that has the same effect as a greenhouse; i.e. trapping heat that enters via solar energy.

It's a simple physical property of the gas which is why you probably see the "it's obvious" reference. It's also a great indicator of the 'controversy'. Many in the climate change skeptic/denier camp have argued against it doing this. Arguing against testable and physical properties that are well proven and understood and conflating the 'unknowns' of a very large and complex system like the earth to sow doubt in the basic physics and science.

The study used by the EPA to 'approve' fracking in shale was a single well that wasn't in shale rock.

Shale is similar to sand? This should be good. Do tell.

It is new territory. There has never been a spike in such a short time as there has in the last 200 years. That a system as vast as the earth doesn't immediately respond is to be expected. But it's still responding faster than any known period previously.

That makes sense and hasn't been as yet, dis-proven. If it's so bad, that should be easy right?

Sources please. And not from 'biased' right wing sites...since you're so concerned with this.

And one of the favorite go to 'more' reasons is water vapor. You've now come full circle in your reasoning.

Are you denying that climate 'skeptics' stated with "It isn't warming" and have now largely shifted to the position you're now holding that, "Ok, it's warming but we can't prove it's related to us". Talk about moving the goal posts.

And as for being unable to publish? Bull fucking shit. There's a great big internet for them to publish on. If their ideas have merit, they'll be picked up on. Unless they flatly ignore data to make a point...

Rush Limbaugh is the one who brought it up during the last east coast blizzard.

You know who is also pretty silent in the summer? The skeptics saying "huh, it's hotter this year, might be global warming". You do know that Australia just had a summer so hot, not just warmer than average, but so hot they had to redraw the temperature gauges? So hot they've never had temps even near that range. linky

My 'beliefs' are based on science. Yours seem to be in spite of them.

They used 'intellectual property' to hide the outright pollution. You don't see the amazing coincidence there with Cheney being the driving force to help a company (and industry) he owns millions of stock in?
