This is an article from 1983. I believe it explains the problem.

There are too many other things insurance pays for besides hitting another car. For example hail storm damage, tree falling on your car or an unavoidable cow jumping in front of you on a bind corner. Not to mention cruising at 50 miles an hour and hitting an ice patch or getting hit by that guy who still actually likes to "drive" his truck.

My kid is in the fourth grade, each day I send him off to school I feel like I'm pimping him out. They almost always have some fundraiser packet that I'm suppose to devote my personal time taking my kid out and try to sell nonsensical bullshit to strangers. Since that isn't happening, the shit gets thrown away. Use the the money that they have, on the things that matter most and they would find that they have plenty of money to spend.

You simply do not understand weather at all. Instead of simply posting your rudimentary assertions, you would be wise to peruse some basic weather sites that any 9 year old might find interesting to answer your less than humble position.

And you would be wrong. Because if warm temperatures were the reason for evaporation then cold temperatures would be the reason for precipitation. That's not the case.

So it's going back to where the Earth was originally. Great, so we humans are are actually restoring the Earth to how it was suppose to be. You see Earth had a methane atmosphere before these oxygen polluting plants and microbes started growing on Earth. I saw that on "The Universe". I'm so smart now.

You only have to look at anti-corporate communists, one world government bandwagon jumpers, U.N take our country over maggots, to know that you could lock such people in a warehouse full of evidence contradictory to their worldviews and they'd still champion it. I really don't see climate change knee jerker's being any different.

Krioukov not only proved his innocence, but he also posted a paper detailing his argument online on the arXiv server http://arxiv.org/pdf/1204.0162v1."
