    It hits the mark in one sense but kind of misses the big picture. If you want to confound the political wing of the alarmists, tell them this: It'll make them apoplectic because they'd rather use the sexy stats of death and destruction than what the hypothesis is really about. The stats they broadcast are: Ernesto Stats: - CAT 2 - Max Wind: 100 mph - Destruction: $24.3 million - Deaths: 3 (they went swimming and got caught in rip tides) Helene Stats: - CAT 4

    Yeah, I can recall when "Unsurvivable Event" used to mean that "Certain Death" would befall those experiencing the event. It seems like "Climate Hysteria" is an unsurvivable event as far as the traditional definition of English words goes.

    What's Trump's plan for unused embryos? Discard them or keep them in cryogenic statis (limbo) forever? What happens in those states that treat embryos as people? The Alabama state Supreme Court ruled this year that embryos created via IVF were to be considered people, a move that led the largest fertility clinics in the state to pause their IVF care.

    From the article: So imagine the headline reading: The Planet's Temperature Reaches Nearly 63°F ........ Marketing Observation: Doesn't have near the impact, does it? ... and then telling your wife that you intend to keep your thermostat set lower than that sweltering temperature this winter (as your contribution to use less fossil fuel in your mission to end global warming). OK, it's an ill-conceived idea. You don't want those ice-cubed female feet bumping up against you while you sleep. Besides, who in their right mind could imagine any woman agreeing to their bedroom being kept at that temperature?

    Let me start by saying that I fall into the "Luke Warmist" category when it comes to the spectrum of beliefs regarding Anthropogenic Global Climate Change. The Luke Warmists understand that: - The Earth's atmosphere is warming - The Earth's atmosphere has been warming at an accelerated rate since about the mid-1800's - Most of the accelerated warming since the mid-1800's can be attributed to increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases (including CO and CO2), the majority of which originate from anthropogenic sources. ... However, unlike the alarmists, the Luke Warmists haven't been convinced that there is an existential crisis related to that warming ... and they also have a lot of questions regarding how to respond to whatever level of warming there is. Two of the most prominent Luke Warmists are Steven Koonin (author of "Unsettled") and Judith Curry (heralded quite frequently by Climate Deniers who don't seem to recognize that she doesn't espouse what the Deniers believe). The snapshot in the post I quoted was from Morrison's article in the Daily Skeptic ... an article which cherry picks some passages in the study and misrepresents the thrust of the study. The thrust of the study dealt with differences between the temperature response of the Arctic region (north pole, Greenland, etc) and the Antarctic region (south pole) to monotonic increases in greenhouse gases across the globe - the "common sense" perception being that both polar regions should respond identically to the uniform increases in greenhouse gases occurring in both regions. That's what the Deniers are espousing: that if the warming were due to greenhouse gases, then the warming in the Antarctic would match the warming in the Arctic. The study does state:

    I was thinking that it's just a matter of time before TSA will forbid pagers, phones and other personal electronic devices to be taken on commercial aircraft in either carry-on or checked baggage ... or maybe that they'll just set up "sniffers" to ferret out devices with explosive compounds. All they seem to currently have are explosive trace detectors which require special wipes to be used to gather trace samples from surfaces and hands, which are then inserted into the detection devices to be analyzed ... which kind of implies they're only used where suspicions have been piqued.

    The Democrats are always ranting about the rich having to pay their fair share. How about an act to ensure that representation is proportional to taxes paid, so that those who pay taxes get their fair share of representation.

    Well, the more likely percentages are in the same range but the less likely aren't (8% more likely for Harris, 20% less likely ... versus 6% more likely for Harris, 13% less likely). The ratios between the two numbers are off, but the general flow that more people became less inclined to favor Harris is there in both. There are an awful lot of male football fans that think of Taylor as Yoko Swiftie, so maybe that plays into it. And I certainly don't know what to think of the 405K visits to vote.gov in the 24 hours after Taylor provided the URL. Bill Maher had mentioned another poll (though I don't have any details) on his "Real Time With Bill Maher" show last Friday (13SEP): You can see, from that joke, the amount of condescension a lot of people have about the Swift/Kelce relationship (he's done his research about jokes that play well).

    I've been trying to find details on that particular poll; with no success. All the right-wing news outlets are heralding it. But I haven't found anything about methodology: sample size, how the sample was selected, characteristics of the sample (age, sex, registered vs unregistered voters) ... all that kind of stuff. On another note, though - One of the many reasons I have against democratic voting is how stupid the electorate is and how easily they are manipulated ... celebrity endorsements being just one example. Cue Larry David's "Even The Stupid Ones" crypto ad (at the applicable moment).
