No, we need to progress in research and development, and in the meantime overinvest in fossil fuels. Then at some point, the value of those investments will crash, a whole lot of people will go broke, and we'll shift more-or-less gradually to other sources, and people, companies, and countries...

Or solar. Or zero-point energy. Or chemical compounds we haven't figured out yet, or some we're working on, like nitrogen-stabilised metastable helium. Or fusion. Or some physical concept we haven't even thought of yet.

I think we'll probably be off oil well before then, and not because of the IPCC. We'll just improve better, cheaper energy sources.

The causes are suspected, not know. I think the evidence is pretty strong, but a long way from the confidence level of, say, gravity.

All I'm saying is that the evidence shows cyclic mass extermination events. We don't know the cause, except for the most recent one, and have no idea if it's the same cause every time, or what. If seemingly random events start showing a pattern, it's a pretty good indication that they aren't...

No, climate change killed off all the critters. The asteroid caused the climate change. For a scientist, you don't seem to have a real good grip on causality.

That's the current theory.

Yup. It's been 65 million years since the last mass extinction event. That's right smack dab in the middle of a 50-80 million year range.

It's led to doom and gloom every 50-80 million years for over half a billion years. Maybe it's time. We're right in the middle of that range.

Drill baby drill!

That's true of all diebacks.

It's such a shame this agent was hounded into taking his own life. We need more of him to secure the border. Manzanares, a stocky 32-year-old agent who kept his head shaved short, was already under suspicion for misconduct—colleagues suspected he had let two border violators go free—but there...

OK, the weird part is that the right is insisting that the government should restrict her personal freedom for the safety of others, and the left is screaming that she has the right to do whatever she wants so long as she breaks no laws. It's not just Halloween, it's Opposites Day!

"Dynamic entry” raids are still dangerous for cops, too By Radley Balko October 29 A sad story from California: A SWAT officer died early Wednesday, a day after being wounded by a shotgun blast while attempting to force open a door during a pre-dawn raid at a Southern California home...

By Rob Garver September 25, 2014 These are difficult days to be a Muslim in the United States. There was, for example, the drunk man who chased Linda Sarsour and her friend down a New York City street earlier this month calling the two women “f---ing Arabs” and threatening to “chop off your...

Congress in No Rush to Return for ISIS War Authorization By Matt Fuller Posted at 4:08 p.m. on Sept. 23 The United States has begun a bombing campaign in Syria, but don’t bet on Congress returning to Washington to vote on a new war authorization anytime soon. Shortly after airstrikes against...
