Actually, rich people very touchable if they aren't plugged in with the right people, other rich people will sideline them or worse

Russia can grow its own bread, and the regional "breadbasket" is the Ukraine. No problem there for Putin in the matters of bread.

You are being silly, just talking of preference of one of infinite number of methods of averaging. That's fine but don't claim that one particular one has to be intrinsic to "climatology" (perhaps one major university in the world has field of study recently created named that, normally degree that would be in a couple other realms for a serious scientist, instead "climatologist" mostly a tag for agenda driven pseudo scientists at the IPCC).

You sure are a source of amusement for those of us who have studied geophysics (not "climatology")

Sorry, you're using multi-year averaged graphs (and probably the IPCC which go higher than NASA's).

Yes, Arctic ice making year on year recovery for now, but sure that can change. I just like reality rather than hoopla.

Ice minimum not decreasing, is increasing, your last sentence contains fallacy.

Maybe they were going to do just that to him but what with his being dead and all it's kind of hard

hey I saw movies and news from that time period and I'm calling BS. There was nobody but white people in the USA at that time

"Legitimate?" Those "separatists" are in violation of the law of their land, they are armed terrorists. Do you think you would be legitimate if you illegally possessed heavy weapons and declared war on Washington DC, and were shooting down civilian aircraft, blowing up vehicles and killing people? Of course not.

Not by very much at all, what with 1998 being the warmest year and all. And note Arctic ice percentage climbing again in last two years. Hmm, the mainstream models are not panning out. You are the asshole, aping dumbed-down pop summaries without understanding.

bullshit, no reason to be a guinea pig for the Red Shat, trying bleeding edge crap that may or may not make it into RHEL.

disable that shit and be done with it

those other brands mentioned in this nonsensical article summary also run Linux just fine. Pro-tip: go into the BIOS and set the damn thing up for Linux ( ditto for BSD)

yeah what horrors, I've run debian-derived Linux desktop distros on boards from all those with no problem.

Na, old Russia had KGB thugs. New Russia is ruled by former KGB thugs and their buddies.

Why do you think there would be bread lines, totalitarianism on a strong economic base (in this case three criminal gang cartels which we could call the Three Branches of Russian Government) works very well for production and distribution

There are many theories and models of climate change, not one. Reputable mainstream scientists question parts of them and refine and change the models (e.g. warming in antarctic via volcanoes or AGW). You probably have a very superficial knowledge of science yourself, not even up to the level of entry level college courses.

not true, I have relatives that did the commune thing for years, and had a good time. then they got bored and tried other stuff.
