In most of Russia, being in a area surrounded by wolves and bears describes a trip to the grocery store...

Airbus' 59B euros is still behind Boeing's $86B. And Pfizer tops the pharma list - a US company. Business is dominated by the US - no flag waving needed, it's simply a fact. It's why most business/sales people learn English, it's the predominant language of business because you need it to do business in the largest market in the world - the US.

$32,500 per year puts you in the top 1% worldwide. Given that you need an income probably around $120,000 to afford this car, you're right - it's not a 1%er car, it's a 0.1%er car...

Airbus was 33 billion euros in 2011, about $40 billion.

Boeing was $86 billion in 2013. Unless Airbus more than doubled revenues in 2 years, I think Boeing has a comfortable lead on Airbus.

As far as medicine, name the top pharma or medical device companies - all US based.

Brainfuck would like to have a word with you. Well, a few symbols perhaps - 8 to be precise.

You know why they speak English in the tech/engineering sector? Because in aerospace, electronics, medicine - they're behind the US.

And in aviation (Boeing), aerospace worldwide (Boeing, Lockheed, SpaceX, etc), medicine, genetics, defense - the US is number one. So all those areas France lags the US...

Actually, it's quite relevant, for climate is simply the integral of weather of a pre-determined amount of time. NASA lays this out quite nicely. Note as a result of selecting a different time basis for the integration, one can have significant - or no - change in climate.

Climate IS, in fact, weather - just over a longer scale

Uhhh, that's a heck of a ramble there. Total lunacy. Everyone KNOWS it's the lizard people acting as guards...

Funny, we're discussing walrus behavior. I'd think the zoologist's opinion would count for something?

Vostok ice core data. Seems we're colder than the last interglacial, and the "sharp rise" is buried in the noise...

Really? Nothing to do with the fact we're coming out of an ice age, and that we're still lower than the interglacial temperatures prior to the last ice age? We're seeing these things because of fossil fuels, not for any other reason?

You don't understand. To many people, there is no calling higher, nor no scientist more knowledgeable about everything, than a climatologist.

Or he used Apple Maps to find the nearest Microsoft store?

Interesting, given that WFOEs (Wholly Foreign-Owned Entities) have existed in China since 2000. You can start an LLC (companies to be traded on domestic Chinese markets do not quality) with 100% foreign ownership.
