American Politics

[QUOTE=ScatManDoo;2512025]Most things said by Trumpites leave this impression. Read Elvis' posts here attacking science.[/QUOTE]So Riddle me this. I'm a fan of Trump but living here in Japan, for the last 3 years. Winter time mask wear is a normal occurrence in Japan. So why are cases increasing in places like Tokyo, and other areas, and the US Military has put certain areas in Tokyo and around Japan "off limits" to us due to their increase in cases, yet by and large the percentage of folks who wear a mask in Japan is far greater than that in the USA.

Doing a bit of research usually trumps asking in a monger forum.

Also mask wearing can vary a lot in the US by region, meaning the more dumb rednecks, the fewer mask wearers.

Covid is currently spreading in most cities at this time. Tokyo is no different Skippy.

[QUOTE=EngineDriver;2507227]I do think that its rather cruel of members of this forum to beat up a harmless retired, overweight business professor like that. Shame on them. The poor old business professor only wants to marry his sweet 19 year old Illiterate Filipina fiance and live happily ever after in Pussy Heaven. What do you think an illiterate sex toy will be discussing with a Khao San Road instant PhD over a dinner of rice and err. Rice? Euclid's elements of geometry or King Agamemnon's quarrel in the Illiad?.[/QUOTE]Mad magazine's latest issue's pictures?

Yikes, what's happening to USA? Terrorists have already take over Portland and now shit like this.

Pardon me! What? Accepting a pardon is an admission of guilt according to a Supreme Court Rullng? I demand a recount!

[QUOTE=Paulie97;2511958]This is goes back to the Trump cultist idea that it's all a plot to turn the election. This while they fail to notice that masks and social distancing have been popular the world over, where no Democrats or Trumps exist. This gross oversight doesn't speak well for the average IQ of the Trumpite, to say the very least.[/QUOTE]Paulie, you arrogant blowhard, do you know the difference between a "scientist" without data and a lay person? Nothing! Fauci, you arrogant blowhard, said masks do not work and changed his mind. All this BS about social distancing, and you miss the point. 75% of cases of Covid are caught in the home. All this BS about essential businesses and social distancing then was for naught.

My favorite example of Democratic "science" though is global warming. Does the data support global warming? Hell no! CO2 levels went up from 1940 to 1980 while global temperatures went down. Newsweek magazine showed the earth covered in ice in 1975. We were all going to freeze to death unless man did something.

Fast forward 20 years and these same dumb shits who were wrong before saw temperatures going up, and they got together and said man was heating up the earth. If we didn't cut down on carbon emissions, we were all doomed due to global warming. For 20 years temperatures went up, and "scientists" proved global warming existed by taking a fucking poll.

Taking a poll is not science. It is Democratic "science". Temperatures did not rise high enough the next 10 years so did these "scientists" admit defeat? Fuck no! They changed global warming to climate change.

Shoot, every time there is a natural disaster. It is not nature but man made climate change.

The whole problem with global warming that these "scientists" leave out is the sun. The idea is that the amount of sunlight is constant when it is not and now these same scientists are hedging their bets. Start quote.

The sun may be dimming, temporarily. Don't panic; Earth is not going to freeze over. But will the resulting cooling put a dent in the global warming trend?

A periodic solar event called a "grand minimum" could overtake the sun perhaps as soon as 2020 and lasting through 2070, resulting in diminished magnetism, infrequent sunspot production and less ultraviolet (UV) radiation reaching Earth all bringing a cooler period to the planet that may span 50 years.

The last grand-minimum event a disruption of the sun's 11-year cycle of variable sunspot activity happened in the mid-17th century. Known as the Maunder Minimum, it occurred between 1645 and 1715, during a longer span of time when parts of the world became so cold that the period was called the Little Ice Age, which lasted from about 1300 to 1850.

End of quote.

So now all of sudden all those carbon emissions may save us from another ice age? LOL. You cannot make this shit up. But don't worry by 2070, global warming is coming. Of course, we will all be dead by then.

This is the epitome of Democratic "science", not data but poll driven consensus.

What kills me is that anyone who does not believe that man has a thermostat for the earth according to these lunatics is a "science" denying.

Hey, Paulie, you arrogant blowhard, it is raining where I am at, and I want to go fishing. Seeing as how you Democrats control the weather, how about dialing me up some sun?

No one in the 70's was talking ice age, greenhouse was already a term for global warming. Kyoto was in 91.

Republican idea of science is the book of Genesis!

The change in regard to wearing masks was that they will do little to protect against getting infected but they do significantly reduce the spread of infection by eliminating aerosols. That is science not faith!

Multiple independently produced instrumental datasets show that the climate system is warming, with the 2009-2018 decade being 0.93 +/- 0.07 centigrade (1.67 +/- 0.13 F) warmer than the pre-industrial baseline (1850-1900). Currently, surface temperatures are rising by about 0.2 centigrade (0.36 F) per decade. Since 1950, the number of cold days and nights has decreased, and the number of warm days and nights has increased. Historical patterns of warming and cooling, like the Medieval Climate Anomaly and the Little Ice Age, did not occur at the same time across regions, but may have reached temperatures as high as those of the late-20th century in a limited set of regions. There have been prehistorical episodes of global warming, such as the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum. However, the modern observed rise in temperature and CO2 concentrations has been so rapid that even abrupt geophysical events that took place in Earth's history do not approach current rates.
