Don't these guys realize that the only thing worse that global warming is global cooling???

"White male capitalists and colonialists???" This is sarcastic joking. Right? RIGHT?.
OKAY. Speaking as someone (slightly more than) tangentially involved with the Hubble (and someone who considers himself an astronomer), yes, I am grateful for the support the JWST has gotten over the years/decades. And that's despite the delays and cost overruns. Even so, I can only hope (and cannot guarantee) that the science will be worth it. But thanks to the incredible views of the universe provided by the Hubble, I expect that it will.

Congrats. You embarrassed yourself. "SHOW US YOUR PAPERS!" was a nazi thing. Never emulate it.

You're quite right. The primary shift was probably due to collisions with large bodies while the earth and solar system were forming. Thanks for the clarification.

First of all, the moon is the primary cause of the earth's axis-shift - it's why it points 23.5 degrees from the ecliptic and goes around that point every 26,000 years. And 4 meters in over a century is also called measurement noise.

Second, the poster and other climate activists should stop spreading catastrophe porn.

Yes. I'm glad I'm not the only one to notice that the reports did not correspond well to reality.

The results of so-called climate science were bought. Very little true science (observe, hypothesise, predict, repeat) has been done about planetary climates.

... one of which could be an immediate, new ice-age.
And if you think global warming is bad, try freezing to death.

that almost all the commenters here see through this nonsense. Restores my faith.

Calling Buffalo "upstate" NY is a bad habit NYCers have. Of course, to them, anything outside Los Angeles is "upstate" NY.

Ummmm. No. No company EVER pays ANY taxes. Any tax levied on them is immediately (and rightfully) passed onto the consumer. That's the way it works and that's the way it's supposed to work.

And BTW, the highest paid employees, manages and owners of those companies also pay the highest taxes. The so-called 1% pay over 50% of the taxes collected in this country.

Long time NPR host Diane Rehm has suffered from the same condition. It kept her off the air for some months back in the '90s, but not permanently. The solution then, apparently, was an injection of something akin to botox.

Interesting fact: "Telephone sanitizer" is actually a euphemism for toilet cleaner. The term came about when indoor plumbing was popularized. Women who couldn't afford servants but still had money would hire out people to come in and clean their toilets. Nobody wanted a truck parked outside of their house that had "WC cleaner" written on it, so one enterprising businessman put "Telephone Sanitizing" on the side of his truck, which implied that these middle class housewives had adopted another new technology: the telephone. Thus, a euphemism was born.

You aren't looking forward to the next wave of "Everybody Sues Everybody" in the cellular world?
