Maybe you could help us out by showing us where we can find predictions from past IPCC reports.

Exactly. Thank you for making the point.
A lot of firearm enthusiasts will insist that it would be impossible to keep a class of firearms out of criminals' hands when we have evidence that we have already successfully done so. We have legislated an entire class of firearms into irrelevance.
Is it hard to imagine we couldn't do the same to another class of weapons? I'm sure machine guns weren't nearly as prevalent as other classes of firearms but let's not pretend that the regulation of machine guns hasn't been effective at keeping them out of the hands of criminals.
Wow, you do know what you said was racist, right?
Not to mention the logical problems of saying something like "if we just remove all the southern states, the US is actually pretty liberal!" or "if you take out all the inner city schools, our scores are on par with the rest of the world!"
You missed the GGP which happened to be mine. If you were wanting to walk into an elementary school with the intent of shooting as many children as possible, a weapon like the Thompson submachine gun or an HK MP5 or an Uzi or any number of FULLY AUTOMATIC firearms would be an ideal weapon. The reason those mass shootings are done with AR15s and other semi-automatic firearms is because the FULLY AUTOMATIC ones are not available. They are difficult for people to get their hands on because we the people decided to heavily control their availability.
Fully automatic. Think Tommy gun.
The reason so few crimes are committed with them is because we have regulated them out of common use. It is very difficult to buy one.
How many crimes were perpetrated with fully automatic machine guns? How many school killings were committed with one? How many people in the USA died at the wrong end of a fully automatic assault rifle?
Clearly, having a full auto rifle would help the sick person achieve his goals more efficiently.
I'll tell you why there are so few deaths from fully automatic assault rifles: gun control works.
Christmas trees, candy canes, snowmen, Rudolf, elves, Grinch, 1-horse open sleighs, presents, stockings, Christmas lights displays, eggnog.... not really religious stuff there and none of it biblical.
Santa.... eh, might be based on something religious but certainly not a religious icon today.
No, most of Christmas has nothing to do with religion. It's a bunch of winter solstice celebrations crammed together into one big holiday.
I have no idea what half of you are talking about. This is a simple RMA thing.
You order 2x4GB of RAM and they send you 2x8GB of RAM, what do you do?
These guys didn't get a product out of the blue, their order was filled incorrectly.
If you're looking for lightweight on Windows, check out xmplay. It's sitting at 334.4k. Sounds good, supports a lot of formats, has plugins, skinnable, integrates into your context menu if you want...
Not affiliated with them but I've used their program happily for years now.
Newborns just got squeezed through a hole they shouldn't be able to fit through. They are a lot less fragile than I am.
Every new parent has paranoia about their child. Paranoia can be profitable.
I still trust them a hell of a lot more than I do the other big players in technology.
Eeeeew
In order to prevent people from feeling the economic pain of Obamacare it is necessary to inflict economic pain.
I loved his stuff as an ass-kicking young man but as I grew older I lost interest.
But his written work hasn't impacted me nearly as much as the hours spent playing Rogue Spear.
Yes, we read the Wall Street Journal and watch Fox News.
Any other questions?
