I'd say you're an idiot. Crichton is right. One scientist with a repeatable, verifiable experiment can prove many many many scientists who happen to think they're right, wrong. Consensus shouldn't have any place in science.

He probably plagiarized it anyway

Not an issue of whether it's a popular opinion or not, it's a useless opinion. You can't change the fact that the 2nd Iraq war was started, so stop bitching about it.

Never mind the fact that nobody would want to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on equipment from a foreign supplier that could be shut down remotely by that foreign power.

What satellite photos are you expecting to see? The US military satellites whose images are classified? Or were you expecting the cable networks to somehow turn their broadcast satellites into spy satellites? You're a total asshat.

switch providers. Problem solved.

The sad part of it is, they're likely getting funding for this silly experiment....

The average global temperature is rising is settled? Uh, no, sorry, it's not settled at all. First of all, we have scarce data for the temperature of the oceans. What little data we have comes from the ARGO global array, and that only measures the top layer of the oceans. The UK Met Office EN3 subsurface ocean temperature data shows a decline in heat from 2003 to 2013. So that means the deep oceans would need to be warming in order to compensate for the surface cooling we've measured. However, we don't have any measurements of deep ocean temperatures, which leaves your claim of global temperature rising to be unfounded.

First off, the F-35 has forced China and Russia to commit a large amount of time and resources to try and counter it's superiority. From an economic standpoint, if you're forcing potential enemies to dedicate time and resources to try and counter your technology, it's a win. Secondly, just because Russia and China are able to develop technology to detect it doesn't mean it's useless. There are numerous other potential uses that don't involve Russian and Chinese radar.

Please stop throwing about the claim of "genocide". You're insulting all those that actually suffered through a real episode of genocide.

so the population of Gaza has grown from under 600k people when Israel first took over in 1967 to over 1.8 million today. Not a very successful genocide....the Nazi's actually managed to reduce the total population of Jews during their time in power.

Hmm....highway melted due to forest fire correlates to weather temperatures?* Current temperature in Sachs Harbour, NT is 2, compared to the normal range of 3 to 11 for this time of year. Source: https://weather.gc.ca/city/pag... Yellowknife, on the other hand, is 21, at the upper end of the normal range of 13 to 21 for this time of year. Source: https://weather.gc.ca/city/pag... Norman Wells, which lies about an equal distance between the two, is 17 where normal range is 11 to 23. Source: https://weather.gc.ca/city/pag... Whati, which is relatively close to Yellowknife, is at 17 where the normal range is 12 to 22. Source: https://weather.gc.ca/city/pag... So unless today is much cooler across NT than at the time of your posting, it seems the region is well within normal bounds overall (based on small sample size of 4), with only Yellowknife reporting a high in the upper bounds of normal. It also seems that the north end of the territory is actually pushing the boundaries of unusually cold, while the southern most region is in the upper half of normal. *Drought is not necessarily a result of warmer atmosphere. It's even possible that the extremely long and cold winter is the cause of the drought. Delays in melting of snow in the higher altitude regions results in a decline and/or delay in spring flooding. Manitoba is currently experiencing a very late seasonal flood for this reason too.

How is it that we're into July and there is still ice on Lake Superior....the entire great lake system is colder than average...antarctic sea ice has just set a new record....and personal anecdotal evidence is a very cool start to Ontario summer. Personally, I find it hard to believe....

You know what the 5th is, right? From Wikipedia: The Fifth Amendment protects individuals from being forced to incriminate themselves. Incriminating oneself is defined as exposing oneself (or another person) to "an accusation or charge of crime,"
Your conclusion that " If pleading the Fifth were considered evidence of guilt, it'd be completely useless." is wrong. Clearly, by it's nature, the 5th is an indicator of a wrongdoing.
