Not true. I believe in the expansion of nuclear energy (I would be ok with huge increases in nuclear energy), understand the potential economic impact, etc. In reality, thanks in part to the global recession, the U.S. can meet their targets. We are down in CO2 emissions from 2007 or 2008...

I really hate this argument. While it is true that scientists do earn a salary based on research grants, do you really believe that their compensation is similar to CEOs of oil/gas industry? How many scientists do you see with a yacht or a private plane? (Maybe just Al Gore) NSF had a total...

The same can be said for republican voters. It seems they are just following what the oil and gas industry is telling them to believe. Many of those anti-climate change "articles" are funded directly by the oil and gas industry. Also you should look at campaign contributions to those that...

While true, the rise in "deniers" has been almost entirely along party lines. In other words, many republican voters have become "deniers," while the same can't be said for democratic voters.

I think you are missing the point. There is no global conspiracy. NOAA does revise data to account for error in measuring, not to make the data seem worse. Every time they do revise data is in the public forum, subject to peer review. If for some reason nearly every scientist in the world is...

Re: It's official - Russian enter Crimea Didn't the US invoke Article V after 9/11? I would think based on precedent the Baltic states would be itching to invoke it even with unrest from separatists. Maybe it wouldn't trigger a declaration on Russia, but i would think a war against...

Re: It's official - Russian enter Crimea Also keep in mind the other side of nuclear deterrence: If Russia starts launching nuclear weapons, how long do you think Moscow and St. Petersburg will last? So will Russia trade Riga, Tallinn and Vilnius for the destruction of Moscow/St. Petersburg...

Is JJ finally going to play RB again?

You have a great point. However, your word choice is particularly telling. A government entity paying a scientist to "study" climate change would allow for a positive or negative response. The oil and gas companies pay for a particular answer. In your words: to "disprove" it. Even if your...

And getting information from The Telegraph is better, how?

It just started snowing in TTown. It is barely sticking here.

I had problems in Qatar. I ended up following the 2012 SEC Championship game via ESPN gamecast. Some have said that if you set up a VPN (or something like it) in America, that you can access. However you have to do that BEFORE you go while on the IP address you want to access. I can't verify...

Re: New Discussion Thread on Possible Coaching Changes... I think that the AD at Alabama clears almost as much profit than the AD at Texas if you include the subsidy. Texas - ~25M Alabama - ~22M http://www.usatoday.com/sports/college/schools/finances/

Apparently he only has a 2.75 M buyout. http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/10109592/mack-brown-only-line-275-million-buyout-texas-longhorns-make-coaching-change

Yes he did....in March 2012

UCF holds the tiebraker over Louisville. Even if UCF loses, they will still go to a BCS bowl. Why does the AAC have an automatic BCS berth again?

I think he means the Alabama football team has done just fine since Obama was elected in 2008. 3 National Championships is pretty good...
