The problem with talking about the science of global warming is that there is no scientific proof for global warming. For general and special relativity you can explain time dilation, gravity waves, or gravitational lensing to a layman and

Imagine you are told there is a 99% chance you have a fatal disease that will kill you on your 50th birthday, and that the only cure has a 100% chance of leaving you completely paralyzed, but must be done before you turn 25. Would it be unr

Ethics issues are rampant at Chinese universities. Beyond that, even in the United States people like George W. Bush get "gentleman C's" instead of failing classes. If that happens in the USA, you better believe that privileg

Take heart. Nothing any president was going to do would have affected the climate. Renewable energy is great, but its not replacing fossil fuels this century, and no one is shutting down the world economy to stop global warming. Not Trump,

I trust a Chinese engineering degree held by a top communist party official even less than a law degree held by a career politician in America.

This article conflates global greenhouse gas concentrations with local air pollution. The idea that the communist party of China cares so much about the global environment to actually do something about climate change, but won't even c

Wrong. Trump did not even call all illegal immigrants rapists. He simply said that some of the illegal immigrants are rapists - one of the many groups of people coming over. We know this is true because they have been caught commiting rape

The fact that two reasonable people like you can argue about it proves his point that Facebook shouldn't censor people's posts because they don't fit the mainstream narrative.

they're private companies that can do what they want on their platforms, but if fb actively censored my posts i and many ppl i know would immediately stop using it

some cursory googling would yield 'reputable' mainstream media sources calling Donald Trump the next incarnation of Adolf Hitler. So I really don't want my fb posts being censored by fb because a wapo article disagrees with m

I love the "this isnt news" argument. "You shouldnt care about collusion revealed by Wikileaks/whoever because everyone kind of already knew about it." "This is how the 'real world' works" Anothe

So someone at a bank in russia stayed at a trump hotel once, and now he gets spam from a trump marketing server. Can someone explain how this is a sinister consiracy to stop Hillary's war with Russia in Syria and Ukraine?

In other words, when the powerful people get to tell all the plebs to sit down and shut up everything is much better. Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaanks WaPo. What would we do without you?

Wait wait wait... "for elections since 1952 only the New Hampshire Primary has been used to measure primary performance." How is that legit at all? I could probably pick another state and show no correlation, or even show that pri

Unlike the USA, China doesn't allow foreign companies to compete there. The only exception is Apple, and that's after they almost had a revolution from the unmet demand, and Apple is still given a hard time.

You understand that the people at WaPo who you got that argument from are just using it as an excuse to take back control of the industry with political maneuvering. The solution to not enough high paying jobs is to raise demand for workers

Yea, in Africa they have what is called a free market. Here we have local political corruption in the name of 'safety regulation'. I suppose it is cultural in the sense that we have come to expect terrible service and products.

The question is really: do you care that there is more wealth overall, or do you care that you personally are better off. Most sane people have no urgent desire to start cramming more people into their neighborhoods. What people want are hi

I agree, the numbers you picked seem extremely unrealistic. However, the scenario you envision is exactly what the Harvard economist who wrote the article has discovered in the USA by looking at employment statistics. There are plenty of wa

Benjamin Netanyahu is a jewish nationalist. George Soros is a jewish globalist. There are two survival strategies for groups of people. The first is to live in an ethno-state where only your own people are favored. Examples of this strategy
