You are about to burst a vein, joshie. Calm yourself down. Kim confessed that “bumrushed” was not the word used by the eyewitness that actually said that the Gentle Giant doubled back. That was a candid observation that was picked up on audio by chance, just after the shooting. It’s not likely contrived.

Look joshie, you obviously don’t know any more about it than kim does. Your kneejerk reaction is to swallow the story offered by the Gentle Giant’s accomplice. It’s not surprising whose side he is on. Other witnesses in the Gentle Giant’s hood have similar stories. Are they unbiased bystanders? We have not heard from the policeman. Why do you think the policeman shot the Gentle Giant, joshie? Good day for a murder?

Joseph, “I am not sure how that is relevant because we know pollution from coal fired power plants can cause health related problems and therefore they can estimate the effect of reducing this pollution will have on the health care related to these problems.”

Pollution definitely does cause asthma, but knowing US coal fired power plants are the main cause is a bit trickier. Just about every potential health savings statistical analysis has issues. It is one of those wicked problems. China though is providing a wonderful control group while they try to limit their population growth problems.

Jamacia, almost 1/5 of 2-17 year olds have some asthma symptoms.

I don’t have any problems with cleaner air regulations/guidelines, unless they are part of a witch hunt.

Yes the Katrina responce did cause a huge decrease in Bushs popularity and probably moe than any other event may have forever tainted his presidency. However the actual historical record paints a different picture.

On august 27th three full days before Katrina landed, Bush called Govenor Blanco and pleaded with her to ask for federal assistance. She refused. The next day Bush declared a state of emergency that allowed for Fema to start it’s staging operations. It wasn’t until after Katrina hit on August 29th and two more days passing that Blanco finally relented on september 1st and placed the order to ask for federal assistance. Without that order Bush was powerless to take action.

There is two facts about Ferguson one is a young man was shot dead by a police officer and the other is the police officer ended up in the hospital with a fractred orbital eye socket. I don’t pretend to know what happened but I do have a question that nobody seems to ask. It seems to me that in this situation and many others like it that there is a problem with how police react and what training they receive. All too often, it seems to me, the police rush in to exert authority and cause the problem to get worse. I realize they are there for the public safety but I think often times it requires a measured response. Is there times when the police should stand off and wait for back up or allow for the situation to diminish on its own. It looks like the policeman was trying to exert authority when he was unable to bring it to bear and he was over powered. Also the threat itself of two guys walking in the street may have not been that ominous of a threat. Perhaps there should be an overview in police training as to what constitutes a threat to public safety and how to provide a controlled and measured response.

I said “some” instead of “all” so I wouldn’t be nit-picked to death by a concern troller such as yourself. You tell me which ones I am missing, I can’t claim to have read “all” of Scafetta’s works.

Marler, You have trouble with sarcasm. I only said that you like to make assertions. Not very scientific, eh?

Jim D: http://unsdsn.org/what-we-do/deep-decarbonization-pathways/

Thanks for the link. I think that is a good paper to save in a safe place and reread in 20 years. They propose a 2/3 reduction in human CO2 emissions by 2050. I think their alarmism is unsupported by careful study of the science. I would be in favor of policies, adopted no earlier than 2025, whereby human CO2 emissions might begin to fall sometime between 2050 and 2060. They want action starting now!

Marler, retribution for the amount of times that I see the term Klimatariat invoked, referring to the lowest class in society. Do I see you lecturing your buddies over that? Not a phat chance.

Too bad that all you have is “lil kim” to do the nasty alliteration 24×7.

I am with ordvic, on this one. He should probably should not have annoyed them about walking in the middle of the street. This mess would have never happened. Hell, just stay out of neighborhoods where police are generally not liked or respected. Put that in the training manuals. The cops I know don’t want to go there anyway.

Matthew Marler, sure, special ops work OK if they need to do that for some reason.
By the way, I prefer Obama’s attitude where he wasn’t going to even give them the pleasure of interrupting his golf, and he stays cool in his speeches. It was an attitude of not giving them what they want. Contrast others who do interrupt vacations and give scared shi#less speeches, while raising national threat levels to maximum, just what the terrorists want. They win when you are openly scared like this. That’s why it is called terrorism.

”
Are you not interested in separating CO2 effects from the other effects of which it is a proxy?
“

Why don’t you effin lift a pen and try doing it yourself ? They all show the same rapid increase over the industrial age. Knock yourself out.

It’s tiresome slogging through your concern-trollish responses.

Why blame Gavin and Jim Hansen for not making this the “primary metric”? Why not look at yourself? Expecting others to take responsibilty for that which you will not. How conservative of you Roger A. Pielke Sr.

For the US they have three pathways, renewable-intense, CCS-intense and nuclear-intense. All possible, or some combination, that can achieve deep decarbonization by 2050.

Now that is funny.

The guitar player has it right regarding nuclear power, but the rest of the band and the adoring fans are yelling at him to turn down the volume.

Heh, one of the first things I learned from Pielke Pere many years ago was the usefulness of ocean heat content compared to surface temperatures. Eric, you’re a joke.

I am with jimmy dee on the ISIS thing. Obama should continue to call the little rascals JV and play a lot more golf. That will really piss-them-off and they will get tired of not scaring us and quit, because it won’t be any fun for them if we don’t act all scared. Do I have that about right, jimmy?

And jimmy, can you show us your calculations on the comparative GDP growth rates that you say only make a difference of two years? Don’t forget about compounding, jimmy.
