This LateNightEddy guy... I have really struggled through the stuff that he posts. Some observations made during said struggle:
* he contradicts himself with his own words and studies he posts * he does not read the studies posts (it looks like he did not even glance at some) * He clearly did not check the sources of some of the studies he posted * Tries to come off as somewhat intellectual without realizing he's making himself look not-intellectual.
One of the most important (if not THE most important) trait of the scientific process is to adjust opinions based on evidence based proof (overwhelming amount of evidence without being absolute is more than sufficient). Not just do you NOT do that, you seem to be digging in the exact opposite opinion. Anyone who is even a little bit science literate, can see through all of these things. There have been a number of people nice enough to try and explain to you, guide you, teach you, but you are simply unwilling to do so. You have established yourself as willfully ignorant. Eddy, don't be willfully ignorant, be better. Many pages ago I would probably have said, you can do it, but I think at this point we all know that you can't.
Proxy data is garbage. Climate reconstructions are even worse.
Not understanding this doesn't make you the scientific genius you think it does.
The climate changes naturally. The global temperature goes up and down naturally.
What percentage of the current warming is caused by man?
If you had any idea what you're talking about you could answer that question.
Yet no one alive can answer it. Morons declaring 100%! are not giving an answer with any basis in reality.
This post is a perfect demonstration of you not understanding how science works.
Proxy data is only garbage because it doesn't support your ideology. Is proxy data perfect? No. Does it tell us the temperature to the nearest hundredth of a degree on May 5th, 1278 when the Mound Builders were doing their thing in what would become Ohio? No. Does that mean it's garbage? Of course not (unless you don't like what it says).
Climate constructions are worse only because they also don't support your ideology.
The climate does change naturally and the global temperature goes up and down naturally. Congratulations on stating the obvious.
93.704%.
I did.
I just did. I didn't declare 100%. I guess my answer has a basis in reality.
Find peer-reviewed literature where people are claiming 100% of recent global warming / climate change is caused by humans. Or is this you just spouting nonsense talking points again?
Wait until he learns about XY complete gonadal dysgenesis: males that can get pregnant! I expect a lot of "you're an imbecile" and "you don't pay taxes" and other insults (but nothing that changes the fact that sex isn't binary).
Chromosomal errors are not new sexes...
If you make a cake use salt instead of sugar you don't end up with a new type of cake you just have a mistake.
Genetic mistakes happen all the time. Go look in a mirror.
People with XY complete gonadal dysgenesis have a normal 46,XY karyotype, but lack the SRY gene. By your definition they are male. They can also get pregnant.
Again, how do you decide if someone's sex is male or female? You said it is based on their chromosomes -- XX = female, XY = male. That categorization may work for many people, but clearly fails in some cases. By definition, your scheme is non-binary. Science has accepted this conclusion. Only old farts that failed high school biology 60 years ago still cling to that simplistic view.
gollDANG I hate when this place devolves into climate and gender. Shoko, he's manipulatng you to talk about winning issues for conservatives. Gender is a winning issue for trumpers and he is getting you to focus on it.
it's like now, when the ONLY THING people trust Republicans on is immigration...so you'd think the Dems would focus on the things people don't trust Rs on: Economy, peace, inflation, jobs, etc. But no. The Dems are focusing on immigration like idiots. The dems chose to focus all their power on the one thing that that helps Rs.

New day. New insult. Same lack of logic.
They lack the SRY gene why? BECAUSE SOMETHING WENT WRONG when the genes were copied.
Swyer Sydrome is a birth defect not a new sex...
1 in 100,000 people have it.
1 in 700 have Down Syndrome.
Exceedingly rare birth defects are not new sexes....
Trump will reportedly end the IRS Direct File program that allowed taxpayers to file taxes for free. This comes after Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, lobbied the government for years to block IRS free file. Intuit donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration. See how this works?

The program is less than a year old and it was a sh*t show.

Filing federal taxes is incredibly simple for a vast majority of AMERICANS. And it has gotten way more simple with very high standard deduction. This is nothing more than making sure these tax software companies continue to have guaranteed revenue from the lower and middle class.
Govt controlled guaranteed revenue streams seem an awful lot like communism.

They paid something and they get something in return. Quid pro quo. It’s just business
I thought Donald “Art of the Deal” Trump was going to have this wrapped up on day 1? Are you saying Trump lied? Or that he’s a failure?
We must have misinterpreted. He meant he would only try "for one day" and he would "only make one phone call". With that revision of his words, Trumpers can pretend he keeps his word or even tries. They can pretend he isn't a quitter when he can't just sign an (unlawful) executive order instead of negotiating and working with others.
Here are a few other Trump quits since taking office.
1. Peace in Gaza- he actually escalated this one by providing more munitions and no restrictions on bombing civilians.
2. Tariffs- on, off, on, off, exemptions, changing the plan and the goal almost daily.
3. Breaking US alliances, then calling on these cointries to help him with the fight he picked with China.
4. Quit Iran nuclear deal in first term, now deaperately tryin to fix his own stupid mistake and failing.
5. Replaced NAFTA with USMCA in first term, now says only an idiot would have made that deal. Now he has torched that one for no plan whatsoever.

So much winning.
Come on folks, don't be lazy (or cheap), read the book. It's right there:
Chapter 7: Making absolutely absurd claims about negotiating complex deals in just 24 hours
Chapter 11: The Art of Quitting
He considered "writing" a whole second book about the Art of Quitting, but decided that pretending to read the drafts that his writer gave to him for the first book was just too exhausting, and he didn't want to go through that again for a second book.
At which point he re-focused on wrecking another casino, or something like that.
That is, the current vice president went to Ohio state for undergrad…and then Yale law as a straight white male
Perfect example of Trumper/Elite School Duality, i.e., situationally awesome/horrible.
Although, the Vance situation does add a new, third layer to it. If we weren't currently talking about "one of ours" going to an elite school, we'd say the school sucks. But in Vance's case, the incredibly stupid words that come out of his mouth about the law suggest that Yale really does suck !!
Fortunately for Yale, we ALL know that the actual answer is that Vance simply has absolutely, positively no soul whatsoever. Whew, that was a close call, Yale !!
