what the fuck does that mean

2019-09-25 01:59:07 UTC  

that sounds like literally every rifle and shotgun

2019-09-25 01:59:08 UTC  

wtf

2019-09-25 02:00:49 UTC  

wait it means specified by the bill

2019-09-25 02:00:51 UTC  

nvm

2019-09-25 02:00:52 UTC  

I assume that last point means there will be a white list to let the crones keep selling.

2019-09-25 02:00:56 UTC  

but still:

what is the opinion here on the arms trade act being dropped?

2019-09-25 03:43:14 UTC  

Hey guys, help me out: Has there ever been a single long-term (5+ years) climate prediction that's come true?

2019-09-25 03:44:23 UTC  

If your definition is loose enough.

2019-09-25 03:44:39 UTC  

If there was, I'm sure we all would have heard about it by now

2019-09-25 03:44:46 UTC  

"Tides every 12 hours or so" has a pretty good track record for example.

2019-09-25 03:45:26 UTC  

That's the thing. People cite recent stories of droughts or fires, trying to retroactively prove long-term climate predictions with individual weather events.

2019-09-25 03:46:31 UTC  

It's easy to take post scriptive data and read it as prescriptive. Buts it's not a guarantee

2019-09-25 03:47:59 UTC  

I mentioned there hasn't been a single prediction come true in 50 years, and ten different people attacked me for it. No one believes me anyway, but I've REALLY looked. I can't find one.

2019-09-25 03:48:26 UTC  

"blah blah doesn't matter if the scientists are wrong we need to do something what are you saying that we should do nothing at all?"

2019-09-25 03:48:38 UTC  

People always day "absence of evidence is not evidence for absence " buuuutttt

2019-09-25 03:50:28 UTC  

It's insane. People wouldn't bet you their weekly paycheck on what the weather will be next week, but they want to bet trillions of dollars on the fact that they know what it'll be 50 years from now

2019-09-25 03:50:40 UTC  

Just do what you can in your power to reduce your personal carbon footprints

2019-09-25 03:51:30 UTC  

And then let them think what they want

2019-09-25 03:52:03 UTC  

@GoGoGadgetWang1 I mentioned that. Uncertainty in probabilities stack, and the best we can go on is historical precedent. But they claim I don't know the difference between weather and climate, which is precisely the fallacy they use to "prove" their side.

2019-09-25 03:52:42 UTC  

Well they say that when it doesn't fit their narrative. But at the same time, they'll turn around and use weather to prove climate when it suits them

2019-09-25 03:53:21 UTC  

So yeah, like you said. And I don't mean to come off as in I don't think humans have an effect on the climate. We do

2019-09-25 03:53:41 UTC  

But what's going on now has blown past being reasonable. It's a religion now, a cult.

2019-09-25 03:55:59 UTC  

Right. So far as I can tell, the pro and con sides have converged to agree with each other on most everything except the outcomes and if/what/how to do anything about it.

2019-09-25 03:56:55 UTC  

But if you find a prediction that's come true, even remotely, I want to know. I think I'm going to start using the "name one" argument as short hand for put up or shut up against these people.

my mom is reading off some horseshit from some globalist article whining about the danger of Trumpian nationalism

The thing the article fails to address, because it's at the core of the wider immigration debate, is that people wreck their home, and then move to a new place and enact the same dystopian shit in their new neighbors.
