There are plenty of old people who say climate change is overblown hype, but they're usually discounted and ignored, because they're "old, out of touch white people." I've heard those exact words from people attempting to convince me that millenials and the younger crowd should be listened to, and the viewpoints of older people are invalid, because they're behind the times.

Life isn't an isolated incident. Sometimes, things happen that you can connect to a previous experience in the past. Funny, that....

I'm sure a report on NASA's site would be considered authoritative and valid, since any time NASA points out rising temperatures, they're considered gospel.
There are plenty more, but I'm not going to do your homework for you, because I'm busy with more important things

True. But we don't know all about gravity. There's plenty of refinement to do. New discoveries are coming out all the time regarding how gravity works.
There's a distinct possibility that one of those discoveries will turn all our current theories on their head, because we've got something fundamentally wrong at the moment.

Science is never settled. Anybody who says it is has an agenda.

"Think like I do, or be labelled and ostracized."

That's an implied threat, that quite neatly falls into "you do this or else." Coercion doesn't have to involve putting a gun to someone's head. It can be much more subtle than that.

Oh, I'm sorry....I thought you were talking about the Climate Change Catastrophists, there.....

So let me get this straight:
- Old white conservatives are to be ignored and discounted because their ideas are old and racist.
- Old white progressives are to be listened to, and their words taken as gospel, because they have lots of life experience.

Ok...I get it.

Institutionalized slavery has been eliminated in the USA and Europe. That's because right wing conservative Christians helped escaped slaves and fought the slavery status quo, and were successful in changing the views of society. In both Britain/Europe, and the USA, the conservative right was instrumental in the elimination of slavery.

I'm guessing the Democrats still haven't forgiven the Republicans for taking their slaves away. :)

But, you're right. Human morals haven't changed, and won't. We're all flawed, and we're all tribal, "us-vs-them" types. Even the left wing diversity activists aren't accepting of anyone who doesn't think exactly like they do. A woman in Quebec, Canada was called a racist by PM Justin Trudeau for asking the simple question of "How are we going to pay for the costs associated with immigration?"
It's a perfectly acceptable, reasonable question, and in no way even indicates that the questioner was against the immigration in question.
The question immediately got Trudeau's hackles up, though, and he jumped straight to name calling: "Racist."

When you can't even have a legitimate conversation without abuse and name calling, we're not civilized.

Science, by definition, is never settled, psychopath.

Don't give us that crap. In the 60s and 70s, you were talking about global cooling, and the coming ice age. And it was alarmist screaming then, too, although not as shrill and insulting as it is today, I'll give you.

Hey, I listen to MP3s on my 1991 6 lb bag phone, you insensitive clod!

What he was saying breaks down like this:
You frequently hear leftists claiming that they'll move to Canada when something shifts to the right in the US; Trump getting elected was a big one.
All these leftists are obviously implying that Canada is a great place, that would never do something so "stupid" as elect someone like Trump.
This article shows, however, that Canada does some stupid things that make no sense, so it's not as great of a place as the leftists seem to think.

It's pretty obvious what he was meaning. But, as a Canadian, I'm sorry, eh?

Article talks about the RCMP, a police force in Canada.

kenh posts support of situation in article by quoting California law.

Whaaaaa?

I'm in Ontario, Canada, and earbuds are legal while driving here. I doubt this case was in Ontario, though, as the RCMP don't usually do traffic enforcement in Ontario, since we have our own provincial police force.
BC bans using earbuds in both ears, and they use the RCMP. But, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, the Territories, and the Atlantic provinces all use the RCMP, as well. Without more details, it's really hard to say, but the fact that the battery was dead pretty much guarantees he wasn't swiping to find his next song.

Given that some people don't drive 16 foot tall SUVs, yes. Given that some roads are curved, yes. Given that some roads have intersections with buildings at the corners, yes. Given that some roads are flat as a pancake, and straighter than the pole your mom dances on, yes. Given that some roads have hills and rises in them, and ambulances can be coming towards you from over the hill, yes.

There are plenty of situations where you can hear an emergency siren when it's physically impossible to see the vehicle, because it isn't line of sight. GP explicitly stated "in a normal care like mine." I drive "a normal car" too, and I agree with them, that it's sometimes impossible to see around the dolt ahead of you that needs to drive a jacked up Ford Excursion with 1 person in it. The problem is, "a normal car" isn't very normal anymore. The visibility out of my car is great, fuel economy is great, handling is great. But when I'm in traffic with the massive numbers of SUVs people seem to need to buy now, sometimes the only thing I can see is the rear slab of bodypanels of the SUV/minivan/truck ahead of me. Same to the sides, and same behind. I'd rather drive in a bunch of transport trucks sometimes, because I'm low enough that I can see clear under the trailers. My visibility is blocked less by an 18 wheeler than a common-as-dirt Dodge Caravan.

One thing we all need to remember, especially before posting a response to someone else's experiences, is that we're not all the same. We all have different situations, different experiences, live in different environments, and we all, in this case, drive different vehicles. Posting something telling someone they're wrong, when you obviously haven't had the experience they have, just makes you look like a douche.

The earbuds!!! They do NOTHING!!!

An "ear held device" is not a "hand held device." Judge is an idiot, who probably voted for Trudeau...
