Senate votes that climate change is real

[Ronin Truth]

Repeal Obamacare 50 more times.

[Brian4Liberty]

Damn climate change! There was a huge change since yesterday, and the "experts" got their prediction backwards too! A tax and a new commodities exchange will fix it.

Senate votes that water is wet 98-1

[GunnyFreedom]

Then the wind turbines wouldn't work anymore if they knew it was illegal for wind resistance to exist.

Of course they could repeal the law of gravity. I doubt nature would listen to them though.

Well then we're just koing to have to taze that witch and throw her in prison.

Me, too. Millions are high enough even with gravity in force--and weed has been illegal for eighty years...

Well, if the Senate says it, it must be true. After all, we have to trust the authorities, or else how do we know anything?

Sides, it's a mental illness to question authority.

[wizardwatson]

Wake me up when they vote on whether or not DiCaprio's character was awake or sleeping at the end of Inception.

I'm also curious whether time travel is possible.

They are also overdue on condemning those who wear white after labor day.

...

It's very sad that our entire legislative system seems to have been reduced to churning out the equivalent of press releases informing the public of the governments opinion about the truth of things and who it "condemns" or approves of.

Exactly what is the practical difference between Joe Sixpack "condemning" ISIS for instance on twitter and our elected officials condemning ISIS via symbolic legislation? The latter just costs the taxpayers money and reveals our leaders for the impotent fools they are.

[TheGrinch]

So did Congress ever vote on whether pooping is actually concentrated evil coming from my backside?

Because I'm really getting tired of holding it in.

[Slave Mentality]

I can't wait to see how the vote goes for the Space is a Vacuum and You Can't Breathe There Bill. So embarrassing.

[HOLLYWOOD]

If "taxes" are the solution, then the problem was never real in the first place.

Yeah, the Bipartisan Budget Act at the end of December 2013(Paul Ryan, Jacob Lew, Boehner, and Obama & company) increased taxes $650 BILLION of the next 10 years!

Paul Ryan even came out in public on his Ryan-Murray swindling bill stating, "That it will save $23 Billion." Can't put that torwards your crafted climate change crap?

Yep, there's the logic of these political jelly fish and charlatans.


PS: Today the Grand Canyon too, stated there's climate change... when it looked in the mirror.

PSS: I think there's a whole bunch of new EPA regs that went into effect on Jan 1 for emissions. I presume that's not enough either, in that, only taxing the people more will stop climate change!

[GunnyFreedom]

Yeah, I'm the Taxman.
If you drive a car, I'll tax the street,
If you try to sit, I'll tax your seat,
If you get too cold, I'll tax the heat,
If you take a walk, I'll tax your feet.
Taxman.

Science By Democracy Doesn't Work

The US Senate just voted on whether climate change is a hoax, knowing full well that debates or votes don't change what is or isn't scientifically true or valid. Nevertheless, debates have always been a thing in science, and they do have their place: in raising what points would be needed to validate, robustly confirm or refute competing explanations, theories or ideas. The greatest scientific debate in all of history — along with its conclusions — illustrates exactly this.

Did I not just discuss that the DSM (psychiatric manual) only list conditions that were voted on by a bunch of asshats that got paid by Big Pharma in this thread?

[Occam's Banana]

The science politics is settled!

[DamianTV]

The politics of science will always be infinitely more complex than the science itself. Alright, back to hiding in my hollowed out baking soda volcano lair...

[cajuncocoa]

Rand is a sly little devil! No matter how he votes on an issue, it's always the right way!

[tod evans]

Senate votes that climate change is real

Well thank goodness!

Without their astute guidance I could have never got through another day...




Tax dollars at work....

[otherone]

I can't wait to see how the vote goes for the Space is a Vacuum and You Can't Breathe There Bill. So embarrassing.

What say you?

[osan]

It looks to me like he just avoided landmines laid by idiots. So far as I can tell this bill really does nothing at all.it's just one of those that if you don't vote for it you'll get slammed by the media during your next campaign. All this bill was to begin with, is a trap.if I were there, I would certainly have done what I could to avoid the trap.

Two-edged sword, my pal. The other result of playing it safe is that he earns the mistrust of people who'd given him the benefit of doubt. He squanders the capital of the "Paul" brand.

His problem is the same as that with about 98% of the people in the game: at the end of the day they are cowards, playing it safe for fear of loss. Winning and losing are irrelevant to the warrior. It reeks of selling oneself as a street whore in the morning for the sake of the "greater good" in the afternoon.

I don't trust him past my own nose. But I see no viable alternative stepping up, so let him grab the seat if he is able and then we will see with truer eyes the fabric whence he is cut. I think it likely he will sell out just like the rest have... or get his brains spread on a sidewalk, somewhere. He doesn't strike me as the hero sort, to the latter option seems unlikely to me. But let time and opportunity speak to us.

My question would be this: if Rand Paul becomes the next president, and I doubt that he will, and he sells out, where will that leave all his idolators?

[osan]

Next week they're voting to make, Pi = 3.

What? I thought they were nullifying the law of gravity... what the hell?

[Valli6]

Yep, the climate does change..

Yes, and this is more commonly known as "weather".

[Dr.3D]

I've never seen a room full of scientists vote on a theory to determine if it's true.

I really doubt the senate voting on it makes it real.

[osan]

Of course the climate changes. The question is the driver of climate change, particularly whether the primary driver is solar activity or human activity. I am squarely in the 'solar' camp. As to the bill, this is just stupid. What's next, a Congressional bill that says water is wet? We need an Act of Congress for this stupidity?

This is precisely the point - one that apparently evades all these imbeciles who bloat on as if they had a clue. The total amount of insolation on any given day is enough to run all human affairs for a year with a $#@!-ton to spare.

That aside, NASA has measured the net planetary thermal load and it has not changed, which tells us either AGW is bull$#@!, or the laws of thermodynamics are wrong. One can but wonder which is the more likely case.
