"The consensus is, however, that there are at least 25 million current displaced people from climate events." Human caused climate events? Source? Let's get out of the weeds back and back up to the original point. Well funded

I wouldn't call a major UN report un-reviewed or Der Spiegel a conspiracy site... http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/feared-migration-h... So in answer to your question.. no, I'm not speculating.

Agreed. 10 hours a week of meetings seems nuts. I've been trying to get my boss to reduce the 2-3 hours a week of meetings I have to attend.

"whether we're facing an apocalypse by 2040 or if things are merely going be catastrophic by 2100" Right... like the hundreds of thousands of refuges fleeing rising sea levels that was to happen by 2010. Pardon my scepticism.

I'm thinking that if you did know then you would be aware of how many (often quite prestigious and well funded) models have failed to predict global climate change outcomes, especially in timing... That's my point about models. Fo

"Meeting anyone has some value to it." Indeed. What is often forgotten, is that it also has an associated cost. Sometimes that cost can turn out to be a lot higher than we expect.

If I have to define failing we are just playing silly games. You have google. You can find no shortage of climate change models that failed to mirror reality. For instance, many models have over-forcast surface warming and it hasn't ha

Hmmm... maybe I came across as someone who doesn't believe in human induced climate change. That's not it at all. I'm pretty sure human induced climate change is happening. Not a denialist. Unlike those for instance who refus

This seems something like the (constantly failing) climate prediction models. There are the lot of interrelated factors, many of which are not well understood and any number of possible unforeseen events arising.

School is (in general) a series of humiliating, pointless, time wasting tasks overseen by people who are usually less smart and motivated than you, and on occasion, are borderline psychopathic. Then you enter the workforce.....

Interesting article. I would note a couple of points though... 1)Notice the drywall collapsing? That's what is going to happen to a person getting shot at close range with a 12 gauge.. even with birdshot. It would be something like get

I very strongly disagree. I believe a shotgun is very much the best home defense weapon. Most people are poor shots with a handgun, especially if woken up in the middle of the night. A shotgun is a point in the general direction and shoot k

Only _some_ aspects and activities of government are criminal. We still need someone to build roads and make sure the water stays clean. Arguably, we also need an education system, an oversight of healthcare, a social safety net system and

The best way to do that would be to stop engaging in these kind of practices. But they'll probably try what you said first.

200 dives a day, lets say they are super and work a 10 hour day (for easy math). That's 20 dives an hour or one every three minutes. Diving down 40 feet and bringing up a 3 gallon bucket of sand, once every three minutes for 10 hours s

In the article, the guy that dived for sand bringing it up in a bucket made $16 dollars a day. He had to dive about 40 feet down. Someone else hauled the sand up that he dove for. This person made less. So lets say between the two and maybe
