It's supported by a vast body of observations and consistent models grounded in well-established physics.
Too bad the climate scientists can't program. Their computer models are pure garbage.
Climate models are physics bases, and, to date, have been quite successful in predictions.

If you really want to safeguard your population against the supposed climate crisis, do something that is achievable and effective if achieved.
OK, good idea. What do you propose?
True, but couldn't we at least wait until we get the data for the full year before sending out a press release, instead of anticipating what the result is going to be?
What's the rush to get this non-news out in December?
There is no reason why social media couldn't be safe. USENET was never this bad.
Yes it was. That's why USENET invented moderation. The unmoderated forums were pretty horrific sometimes.
The one thing about USENET, though, is that the trolls and flamers and a$$holes were actual humans, not troll farms or click-farmers or AIs.
Easy to get around. GO GET A FUCKING WARRANT.
As others point out, cold cases are ones in which there is in no evidence pointing to a specific person, so, no, this is not possible.
The constitution is clear,
I would like to agree with that, but the constitution really is not clear. This is not a search of a specific person, about which the constitution is clear; it's a search of a database.
and if Ancestry wanted to just hand over the data, they would get sued out of business and probably have had to settle a few already, which is why they changed the TOS.
Wait, what? You think a serial rapist-murderer is going to sue Ancestry.com for being convicted of murder because the were identified because a cousin gave dna to Ancestry.com? That would be laughed out of court.
Crosswalks are dangerous.
A particular danger at crosswalks is cars making turns. It's often hard to see pedestrians when other cars are blocking the view. (And bicycles are always something to watch for.)
I mean who wouldn't want to use a famously volatile element in a closed system resembling a bomb that said element will be leaking from and be exposed to insane temperatures.
Because the JTEC is an evolved version of the older AMTEC, Alkali Metal Thermal-to-Electric Converter, in which the working fluid was liquid sodium. The version with hydrogen is much easier to work with. AMTEC looked great in small-scale lab experiments, and for a while in the 90s they were heavily pushed as the successor technology to thermoelectrics currently used in radioisotope power systems, but turned out they were too hard to work with. (I still kinda like the technology, though. It's thermodynamically elegant.)
There's also a JTEC variant that uses oxygen, I believe: https://www.researchwithrutger...
And blindness doesn't exist either. Nor being deaf. These people claiming such just need to try harder, right?
It's more as if there were a Diagnosis of Seeing Manual (DSM) that redefined the definitions to merge blindness with other vision problems into a single category, a spectrum "Visual-acuity spectrum disorder". So people who previously said "I'm blind and need accomodation" now get put in the same category with people who say "I have visual acuity spectrum disorder" because their vision is 20-40.
And I say that that applies to autism to. Social skills is something you need to practise as child, it is not congenital. Some have more talent for this, other less. The latter need to practise. Just like with everything from math to juggle balls.
Autism most certainly does exist. The difficulty here is that in the most recent DSM, autism was redefined as a spectrum, and the "mild" end of the spectrum manifests as socially awkward. But there's no clear dividing line anymore; neurotypical behavior can shade into socially awkward behavior by infinitesimal degrees. And, worse, in the popular conversation about autism, most people talk about the mild form, previously a separate diagnosis of "Asperger's", and the profound version gets ignored.

(apologies for the paywalled articles, but those are the ones that go into better depth).
Nobody was doing strained-layer epitaxy in the 1950s.
The heat and the light are not physically different things. If the light is absorbed, then the object that absorbed it was heated by that amount of energy.If the heat escaped, that would mean the light was reflected, and it wouldn't be black, it would be white. (Or a mirror, depending on how consistent the angle of reflection is)
Yes and no.
Visible light carries energy, and hence, yes, absorbing visible light will heat the fabric. However, at temperatures less than a thousand degrees or so, most of the heat energy is carried in infrared light. Since the fabric is specified as being black in visible light, it may or may not be absorbing in infrared.
The fact you consider this as "safe" is the problem with society.
Well, yes: we live in a society in which 50-kg small humans coexist in spaces with 1000- and 2000- kilogram metal vehicles travelling at a hundred km/hour, and only the social rules keep them safe.
You've excepted a horrible band-aid for a dangerous situation covering a small minority
The entirety of our civilization's "safety" relies on our society and its rules. It's not a "small minority"-- it's all of it. Every time I drive I put myself in a situation in which I'm less than one second away from flaming death if I should make the wrong move.
Ring wing operatives have long been trying to prove that government doesn't work.
Right-wing operatives have long been pushing that ALL government work should be done by hiring contractors from private industry. This was an example.
The contractor they had been hired by was a company called Opexus; they were hired as engineers working on projects for various agencies, including the Internal Revenue Service, Department of Energy, Defense Department and the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General.
Obviously Opexus didn't do a good job at background check.
