These turkeys have persistently missed predictions over the last 20 years.

No, not just the Cargo Cult speech, which actually fits many CAGW claimants to a T, but this speech: http://management.curiouscatblog.net/2012/05/17/richard-feynman-explains-the-pdsa-cycle/

Richard Feynman: “If it disagrees with experiment it is wrong, in that simple statement is the key to science, it doesn’t make any difference how beautiful your guess is, it doesn’t make a difference how smart you are (who made the guess), or what his name is, if it disagrees with experiment it is wrong.”

If something is testable and flunks, it is wrong. If something is not testable, it's pseudoscience. Take your pick, my view is that these CAGW turkeys take double helpings with both.

Dude what you don't get is that insurance companies like to overcharge on premiums and to not pay claims. Perhaps in an ideal world what you say is true, but this isn't your ideal world/model. More regulations create lots of opportunities. Climate change predicted fatter tail means excuses for higher premiums. Climate change = force majeure on old policies, like not pay as much, or cancellation?

Excessive hurricane insurance claims where I grew up had more to do with poor building codes, muckheads developing houses out to the tide lines, and inflation tripling the replacement costs.

Try October 1780 for a month to remember.

The CAGW graphs from models have repeatedly failed to predict current temperature trends, and others, like global methane in the atomosphere. Data has been repeatedly unused, misused and misreported in CAGW pal reviewed "literature". CAGW is a scam and pseudoscience. Go listen to Feynman about missed predictions. Get over it.

Now we'll know why the barbarian hordes really wanted a Roman holiday.

is that "rich" countries are pretending that they are rich. Most appear to be insolvent and much of their educated populations are headed for extinction for failure to reproduce.

Actually most people alive today would never have existed without the fossil fueled economies. Some might argue that this is bad for the species since so many are marginally independent at best, a la Heinlein. Consumers only...

...whose old man [father] was into dirty coal, too.

Motivated reasoning and gubermint sponsored "scientists" that insist flawed code = physical experiments and up = down. McIntyre has repeatedly shown how venal and biased this group is. Piltdown Man has 21st century decendents who are alive and aggressively fraudulent, looking to replicate Nazi equivalent ideologies. That CAGW financial and power scam, the Clinton-Gore $100 billion per year grab exceeds the peak Exxon-Shell oil profits at the mere cost of bending a group of opportunistic modelers and desperate academic failures. CAGW has become simply "seize the means" and oppress the population Statism for the 21st century.

Did anyone check that white powder in the ballast?

British Petroleum managment always gets off with no time served. Bodies and billions destroyed all over the US.

DVDs' primary advantages are from how obnoxious advertising becomes online for online movies and how content control interferes with maintaining and replaying copies around a house. DVD prices need to be lower to move faster in volume, closer to current rental prices where people buy armloads at a time. Home archives without DVD may become a problem because of "IP" controls.

Armed with a small LED or lasers to paint targets for small missiles, it could allow principals, police and govt agency personnel to eliminate offenders in whatever act.

...in god's eye. What happens when you don't expand your habitat range fast enough.

and hypocrisy (more equal???). Orwell's administrator characters would be proud.
