Apparently the IPCC's literature content differs from the summary for policymakers. Anything to sell the hype and keep the gravy train of sweet, sweet government money going. Let the personal insults from the easily-duped, emotionally-invested and paid shills begin!

I want to force government to force people to listen to my insane ranting about the fact that nobody listens to me.

There never was a debate and never will be, simply because the doomers would lose (and we can't have that, there's too much money involved). The shit's REALLY going to hit the fan when all that sweet government money runs out.

"But if the science and data is straight up not disclosed then I'm not approving legislation based on it because I can't get it verified."

This should be obvious to anyone paying attention but has turned into "Hey look at how stupid and evil those stupid and evil republicans are."

I think you'll find that most "eco-friendly" headlines can't withstand a couple of difficult questions from people other than enviro-journalists (who are invariably activists posing as reporters).

Thanks. I knew about keyword removal but not entire domains (makes sense though).

Is there a way to remove a domain from a search? I.e., I don't want the first 50 results from a search for Apple to be from apple.com.

It's called nominal pipe size and you can see wall thicknesses here: http://www.engineersedge.com/p...

The outside diameter remains the same to simplify joining.

Of course it could just have been thin wall tubing or conduit also, but it definitely wasn't "four inch thick" pipe...

Four inch DIAMETER pipe. With piping, the hole goes on the inside.
