Neither of these two opinions stem from a consistent set of moral principles of freedom, which Im sure both would claim to defend. It is a logical inconsistency to be pro-freedom and yet to hold such arguments of draft as valid. The conclus

It is always nice to have measurements; the CO, CO2 volatiles are expected and predicted by models at these distances (for somewhat large enough bodies so that molecules do not simply fly away into space after sublimation). By the way, the

This was a good read, albeit pretty long. The major and final point, which certainly does not follow from the premises cited in this piece and which feels like a rush conclusion, is this: """ It’s time we began conceptualizin

However, why/how is the US and EU so good at disinformation? More specifically, domestic/internal perception management in scale and effectivity, but also foreign target disinformation by the US (and EU, although EU is just simply

It is lost on me how can anyone produce such a piece of self-serving, fundamental reality disconnect. This is such a profound incompetent piece on the subject that one is left wondering whether it is just due to terminal case of ignorance,

It seems you are with rationalizing politics to decide the science, especially if you disagree with it; at least based on your points. Regarding 3) I did not attempt to make any larger point on climate science as such (only on climategate i

The truth of the matter; there is no reasoning under which such a call can be considered as a "moral" or civilized. The motivation behind is not humanitarian, on the contrary it is pure terrorism in all-encomassig meaning of the w
