Spot on! That's *exactly* the point. In case you never tought about it, the essence of racism is assuming that a very large group of people that happen to share some phenotypic attributes are all equally bad.

Not to mention evidence. It's more difficult to conduct a reign of terror if you actually have to start proving things.

Take the money.
Buy a second laptop.

One for you, one for them, and if it all turns out well in the end, you get both (though they'll be old and shitty by then probably).

No, you have the Law of Gravitation, which states that two masses attract each other. There is a tremendous amount of data proving it over a long period of time with no unexplainable exceptions.

Thus, it is a Law. There are precious few Laws in Science.
The fact we don't understand the exact mechanism, quantum, space warping, or "It just sucks" does not matter. The effect is what matters.

Less provable ideas become Theories. They have good evidence that is not fully proven under a wide range of circumstances. There are competing ideas and they have some experimental backing as well. Theory of Relativity has this status because we have observed light bending and time dilation in controlled experiments.

Global Warming falls under a hypothesis, it has some data, not enough to qualify as a Theory.

It also has some disturbing issues with data, and people like Green Peace overstating the issue to emotionalize it:

It also has a control, Mars, that shows polar melting and surface warming in the ABSENCE of human industrial activity.

So the change may very well be outside the biosphere, in a Sun cycle or other phenomenon we don't understand.

In other words, we might be able to prove global warning, but the exact mechanism is under depute.

So if we go mucking about by reducing human em missions we might have no effect.

Or we might get more desperate and try crude terraforming, (increase planetary albedo for example) only to discover the external effect swings BACK, plunging us into an ice age.

The whole Green movement is a strange form of Conservative thinking. You are trying to force stability onto a dynamic system... good luck with that.

uh and why do you say that? Where in the link you provide does it say that they aren't paid by oil companies (since we're being all scientific here)? Who are these MEMBERS? It could be two guys, it could be a hundred.

And you are claiming that the APS refutes anthropogenic climate change? Their statement, at the link you provided, actually reinforces their stand that CC IS caused by man made emissions. That these MEMBERS disagree with the APS's statement is of no consequence.

If I write a letter to the pope that says "We, the members of the Holy Roman Catholic Church, Hate God, so please change your policy toward God accordingly," that doesn't mean the Church or its members hates God.

But now everyone can wiretap Skype calls. Isn't it great?

...cleaning up the mess the previous two presidents left (yes, Clinton too). Either you're being disingenuous because it suits your partisan games, or you're just a fool.

Sorry for feeding the trolls.

I realized this a year into my first job when I realized my passion was for coding/FOSS and not supporting back end ERP applications.A lot of my friends did not/still do not realize this and instead run behind the latest cool tech on the market and opportunities for going on site.
