    great vague fixes as always

    Renewables are vague? Or is there just not a big enough incentive to use them.

    So if you read the article you'd realize this was an anomaly based on a changing wind pattern and a surprisingly cold summer.

    There have been spikes before like in 1992, 1996 and 2001.

    If it keeps recovering great, but that would go against a 30 year trend that has seen sea ice decrease by roughly 40%.

    Believe what you will, though.

    Statistical reasoning is lost on dtd/predoubt if it involves any nuance.
    Actually, since I have a double major in Finance and Math, and received 4.0 in statistics and math, I might be the only one in here that knows that drawing conclusions from 40 years of data regarding a planet that is millions of years old renders gigantic standard deviations, and is therefore asinine.

    If you try to cite data any longer than that, you're an idiot. The earth is 75% ocean, and the technology to measure temperature over the ocean, (or deserts, or polar regions, or uninhabited areas in the tropics), did not exist before 40 years ago. The earth is ALSO inhabited approximately only 2% by mankind. Taking data from that 2% from the 1800's, located within limited bands of latitude is likewise, asinine.

    So, if you think you are smarter than statistics and standard deviations much larger than your head, then please go fuck yourself.

    If they existed they would be used. Are you saying industry is not regulated enough? American industry isn't the problem. American jobs are though. What is your incentive?

    Industry is misregulated. As for China and jobs, their free ride (cheap manufacturing, no enviromental controls) isn't going to be there forever, which is why I'd argue that now is a good time to further American competitiveness in advance of a leveled playing field.

    Business will make decisions based off of the profit motive, and you can't blame them for that, it's just that overall quality of life will suffer on our current climate trajectory.

    So you don't have anything either. If I want meaningless sound bites Obama delivers them better. He's well spoken.

    Now is a good time for jobs. America is the cleanest industrial nation on earth. Our innovations lead the way. Our overall quality of life is suffering from a lack of economic recovery

    And I wasn't talking about Chineese jobs
  • doogsinparadisedoogsinparadise Member Posts: 9,320
    Stock market's fine, housing is up, it's lack of investment that's harming jobs. Hard to believe that regs are holding that cash back to this degree.

    It could be China's lower cost structure or something. Maybe.
  • doogsinparadisedoogsinparadise Member Posts: 9,320
    Not talking about that.

    Hard to be believe if you're stupid.

    I'll be sure to tell the next person handing me the keys to their former home that the stock market is up.

    Pretty sure Obama ran promising to help Wall Street.

    Now you're championing the downtrodden? Thread has come full circle.

    Beats championing Obama. I'm a real liberal. I actually give a shit about people
