You still can't just assume all additional 10k are Corona caused. Maybe it's higher or maybe it's lower but it's lazy and possibly dangerous to just assume numbers ands publicize them. If you say 10k and the real number is 9k does that mean Corona isn't a problem? I don't believe that's what people are thinking. But every day we're inundated with case numbers and death numbers, and these things actually affect public behavior. Get the numbers right.

Ahh, finally! Someone less qualified than Palin to be the loser's token VP candidate.

Govt agencies dumb enough to get duped by Putin is bad. The alternative is worse.

I wasn't really following the conversation, but from the picture I'm guessing you two are talking about Kamala?

It's nice when our "leaders" try to solve real world problems by acting like we should be able to declare a base in a second grade game of tag so we're not IT.

From CNN's ratings, it wasn't worth anyone else's either.

I have a feeling this an actual versus theoretical conversation.

Who here is still going into the office everyday? Not working remotely.

Paris agreement: the political aspect is a large power and money grab From what you're said so far, the most specific thing I can see is that man made Global warming is a problem. Few questions assuming we agree: 1) How much man made warming is a problem? 2) What specifically are the problems caused by man made warming? For example, Sea levels rise and cover coastline. How much do they rise and how much land is covered? What are the specifics? 3) If there was no man made warming what would temps do? 4) What's the cost (not specifically Money) of the solution vs the problem? 5) What other factors play into warming that aren't man made? 6) What specifically has to be done to 'fix' man made warming? 7) Would temps continue to rise with no man made warming? If so, how much, and would this be a problem? These are just a few questions based upon your assumptions that all of these models are correct and that the problem exists as you've identified it. This doesn't even get into the idea of whether this thing is being driven off of money and power of not. I'll leave that discussion to DR. I mean wouldn't it be something if this was driven off the idea of continually paying for something and ceding power to others for a problem that either wasn't there or couldn't be solved by man's efforts? You have praised the modeling and how accurate it is and how all the data is known. You're just plain wrong. If you've ever done any scientific, mathematic, economic, or any other type of system modeling you would always know there are unknown variables. What are the assumptions made by the scientists when they are performing these studies? Why did they make the modeling assumptions they did? What would different assumptions have meant? Why does there appear to be data that disagrees with these studies or points to other causes for temperature rise? Not all data is created equal. Decisions about how to use different pieces of data varies as well as how much weight to give some data. How much data being used has been directly gathered and what was the accuracy? How much data being used has been derived from other modeling efforts and what is the accuracy of that data? How much compounding inaccuracy in these models is there with all the different data sources? I don't have a big problem with environmentalism, efficiency, not being wasteful, or being good stewards of our resources. We probably don't disagree on as much as you think. But I do have a problem with your call to action on a problem based on your faux scientific understanding. Reading articles and listening to people talk is not a substitute for understanding. Maybe the pseudo scientist in you should have opinions but hold off on calls for enormous govt intervention because it's possible that you don't really understand the full issue and have just gravitated to the argument that sounds best to you and makes you feel like you're doing the right thing? Example about reading articles and drawing conclusions on things I don't understand: I read an article about this new virus we have. Turns out, the WHO (very smart people who seem to be experts) say it isn't transmitted human to human. Hooray!

Pardon me if your reasoning of I've read stuff isn't impressive. You don't understand what you've read to the level of asking pertinent questions about the subject. And from your desire for me to justify something I've never said leads me to believe your reading skills aren't that impressive either. Also, that's not a clearly defined problem, it's pontification.

I appreciate the polite discussion. But it's like listening to a conversation at a barber shop. Lot of words, lot of concern, some truth, and a lot of misunderstanding.Talk that neither clearly defines a problem or clearly defines a solution. Once DR gets his writer's inspiration for the day (alcohol), we'll be here: But I agree, it's nice to have civil discourse. The DR drinking part was a joke. But he is a writer...

You don't understand most of what you're talking about. You have faith in others' words, but lack the ability to critically analyze the problem, the analysis methodology, and the proposed solutions. But you're pretty good at reading, paraphrasing, and bloviating. By the way, this doesn't just apply to climate change.

I think if he brings Tom Arnold and Billy Baldwin with him anything can happen.

As the DNC showed us. The govt is great with apps. What could go wrong with voluntarily handing those idiots your current and historical whereabouts? Stop reacting out of panic.

What's the difference between BillZtime and BillStime? I already ignored the second guy today. Both idiots Both purple names Is this the same person? I mean at least gator got more creative when he changed names.

GM's at home in their underoos with cheato fingers complaining about the draft format and waiting for the next guy up to get off the can.

Is that a real phone number?

Is there enough room for her and Kat Timpf?

I had to click the link because when I read "shoots rams" I was really confused.

If this is what you have on hand, you are more than adequately armed

The first reported death in KY was the exact same. The person was already dying and also had Corona. Yet it was still our first Corona death.

Good Lord he needs a new bra.

Tibs posts prove that there is something outside our perception of reality.

If Peter Pan has taught us anything, it's that we don't have to click on every link posted.
