   Even the IPCC doesn't claim human-induced climate change until the 1950s. The amounts of CO2 added to the atmosphere didn't seriously ramp up until after 1950.

   Since you aren't making personal attacks, like others on this message board, I'll explain my personal point of view. I don't deny that humans can influence earth's climate. But the tone of climate change media is beyond

   First, Antarctica is not "melting," and second it seems to have been happening for a long time. Additionally, there has been no acceleration in sea level increases: http://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/sltrends/sl

   For some context (which media rarely provide), Antarctica has about 12.3 million cubic km of ice sheet. The latest measurements I've seen show that between 2011 and 2014, the Antarctic ice sheet lost 125 cubic km per year. http:&#x2

    Not to minimize drunk driving deaths, but it's hardly "rampant." About 10,000 people are killed each year in drunk driving accidents in the US. 30,000 a year die from falls. http://responsibility.org/drunk-dri

    I tried sending an email to that domain to see if it would bounce back, but it didn't. I was hoping to get the server's IP address. Looks like bouncebacks were working yesterday, but have been disabled: http://www.zeroh

    See my post below. The mx records point to mxlogic, which provides email filtering services, not hosting (as far as I can tell). It looks like she may have indeed run her own email server.

    It's fascinating to understand that originally there was no "official" US currency, only that the Spanish dollar was circulating as a sort of international currency. The US dollar was then defined a unit of weight of either g

    I think your second point is important. Many people simply don't trust those in authority because, so often, those in authority lie. This applies to both the public and private sector. We are constantly lied to by authority figures, so
