I appreciate that information. I wasn't aware of any of it. Thanks.

That's a distinct possibility. Until we catch some of these folks in the act, and find out who they really are, we won't know for sure.

Wrong in some respects but interesting. It was TARP that saved banks, but it was Mark to Market that caused the need for TARP. But Mark to Market was in no way the root of the crisis. The reason Mark to Market is used at all is that it is the most reliable, and easiest, way of assessing...

No more need for suntan lotion, just get out the barbecue sauce.

That's where we might disagree.

The split is multi faceted. See the Bulletin of the Meteorology Society for the 2014 survey of Meteorologists and Atmospheric physicists. I posted the results here on ET, but am not inclined to take the time to search for them. You will discover that there is nothing even approaching a broad...

I got distracted. The post is badly edited as I got timed out when I went back to it. An observation I would make is that the non-scientific public is completely unaware of the controversy that is continuing in the primary literature. I would say that the atmospheric physicists are are now...

Carbon dioxide is present in our atmosphere at trace levels. Although it is technically a greenhouse gas, it is a very weak absorber of IR, is removed rapidly from the atmosphere by plants and converted to carbohydrates. There is no observational evidence to support a claim that CO2 is...

It really does not matter. The Constitution prescribes no test of veracity that our presidents must pass, he meets all requirements. I'm still hoping he will continue the family tradition and read Reagan's inaugural speech as his own on Jan 20th.

is there any evidence to support his claim. All we know is he lost a billion dollars. Is being sued for fraud, and has failed to pay many contractors what he agreed to pay them, Than sounds to me like someone going broke.

There is no comment that could do your post justice, so I am forced by good manners to refrain.

I am going to make a wild guess here that if I claim to be able to grab women by the genitals and get away with it, and I also happen to be running for president, I will get more media coverage than you. The coverage will proably be a little on the negative side. (I know it is ridiculous for me...

Iv'e said this before, but I am happy to repeat it: We live in interesting times. For the sake of the children at least, let's hope as President he doesn't turn out to be quite the lunatic he was as a candidate. Normally Keynesian stimulus is applied on the demand side in a recession. During...

:D I'm going to make out like a bandit. Whoopee! (Assuming I don't get shot stepping out of my Porsche!) Oh, I guess that would be like a bandit.

Can you give an example. I would guess O'Romney care could be one of these issues except that opinion was nearly perfectly balanced. Democrats (the majority party) were initially almost 100% in favor, and Republicans 100% opposed, i.e., perfect balance. In the end enough compromises were...

This is a dangerous message. I live in this country called the U.S.A. and I want Trump to succeed in making this country a great place to live for all people including immigrants. I want my country to once again to be the land of opportunity, and I hope that is implicit in Trump's, and Ronald...

Thank you, and I am not telling you anything you don't already know. Logical argument is lost on these folks. I will add, rather uncharitably I'm afraid, that certainty of ones position is a depressingly common trait of the ignorant. And by that I don't mean 'unintelligent'; I mean 'ignorant'.

So now that you've looked up the proper definition, what does this have to do with me?

Oh, it is far worse than any of that.

Please tell me if you know of any such service. I shall sign up immediately. There is obviously something seriously wrong with me , as I am not interested in two hundred channels offering a machine that will cook a hamburger, sell me a lovely gemstone necklace or a chance to save my rotten...
