Perhaps the only denialist is yourself, who sees trends in red noise data and claims apocalypse is near.

To the morons who marked my response "Flamebait", take a look at yourselves.

Name any scientist who has been funded "up the Wazoo" by Exxon or any other fossil fuel company to disprove global warming/climate change.

With actual evidence of receipts and bursaries.

You can't?

I can name quite a few environmental groups and universities who have taken millions of dollars including Stanford University which got $500 million from Exxon Mobil.

That's the problem with fairy tales and urban myths - they're near impossible to disprove to the gullible and easily misled.

I live in the middle of the UK.

Just tried speedtest.net and I got:

ping 9ms
download 61.98Mbps
upload 3.04Mbps

This is Virgin Broadband using fiberoptic to the home.

Now I realise that some Americans think Europe is one huge socialist hell, but the monopolistic behavior of American ISPs to define the market by their own capability or inability is just jaw-droppingly bad.

And before anyone criticizes me, I like America a lot.

But without forks, we'd have a single unified Linux which everyone would use. Who would want that?

When people suffer from asthma, they are often prey to secondary bacterial infections which can turn nasty. Yes, they'll be prescribing prophylactic antibiotics in some cases.

Dear AC

And then there are gene-based therapies, x-rays, proton beams, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, radioisotope treatments, as well as vaccines, blood and bone marrow transpants. Nanotech is coming soon.

Yes, they're all crude and "not having an advanced understanding" (whatever the fuck that means) but they are EFFECTIVE.

As far as pandemics are concerned, where is it written that people in first world countries can't get difficult-to-treat illnesses transmitted while in close proximity to each other?

What do actually suggest that is not "crude" by your definition. Reiki? Homeopathy? Hoping it will all go away if we pray to this deity or that statue?

Because, you complete fucking genius, not everyone is 5' 2'' tall and of medium build. Why, if you are 6' tall, are you penalised with having to buy a more expensive ticket?

...a college-admission consultancy founded by Steven Ma, and largely catering to ambitious Asian immigrants like Ma, and their offspring

but its not racism. Racism is only practiced by white people.

...slap bang in the middle of the most expensive real estate in the US.

Brilliant!

I use Chrome and Firefox and autoplay is driving me nuts. Is there an auto-play killer out there?

The hype around Uber and the low prices is based on not paying for proper insurance, permits, qualifications or ensuring the maintenance of the cars. It's unfair competition by undermining businesses by purposely ignoring laws passed by the democratic will of the people.

It's called "anti-competitive dumping" and its purpose is to drive lawful services out of the market.

Are you a psychopath or did you just provide the world's greatest support group for psychopaths by chance?

Local sea level has risen 2mm around Antarctica in 10 years. Everyone run to higher ground!

...perhaps NASA can do some serious exploration.

Except we still have the flying boondoggle from the Reagan administration, the ISS, sucking money away from exploration and giving it to the Russian government to launch and retrieve people and stuff from LEO for profit.

The return on investment for the ISS has been pathetic.
