As it stands, peatlands in the ROC and the neighboring Democratic Republic of Congo could, if maintained, represent a significant carbon offset for the entire African continent, whose human population and carbon footprint are projected to soar in the decades to come.

This person is referring to the actually settled science of anthropogenic climate change. Their comment is aimed to suggest that because we hadn’t specifically identified this vast carbon sink that has been developing for tens of thousands of years, we could also be mistaken about the way that greenhouse gases or…

Doesn’t beg the question

Ain’t this the truth. After the busted conversion last night I went ahead and called it. “Reid’s going to kick away, relying on one time-out and the two-minute stoppage, they’re going to give up a first down and never see the ball again.” They’d only ever stopped Pittsburgh in the red zone all night; they’d have been…

Yep. I’m a biased partisan and even I had to admit it on the very first viewing of the replay. That’s a hold alright.

..or maybe you’re an alien

This never ceases to amaze me. I saw something similar recently in an article I read about the septuagenarian cowboy who sucker punched a black kid at a trump rally. He’s like “it’s basically racism to call me a racist, they wouldn’t be mad at me if I was black or he was white.” Yeah, because if you were black you…

at what point does the general bashing stop and normal, appropriate support for one’s President come into play?

I always thought this was a really cool concept. He has these massive mental powers that he can never outwardly use because it’s taking nearly everything he’s got to keep his own shit together. Very 90's angst but also very compelling.

Obviously the main factor here is always one’s own age and interests, but the day Marvel decided to publish an official origin story for Wolverine was the day I knew I’d never go back to comics.

Actually I don’t believe that Liefeld had much to do with Cable (aside from his visual design, obviously). I think Simonson, Claremont and even Harras had more to do with sketching out his origin than Liefeld ever did, when he first popped up. And then Liefeld was the main writer/plotter on X-Force, but Nicieza took…

I bought the 2-pack for myself for Christmas a few weeks back when I saw this posted (better price than above by a couple bucks), hung them on 12/26 and they’ve worked great for me so far. I have them on the dim-til-activated setting and I find it perfect. Goes from “yep, there’s a light there” level to “wow, that’s…

“..he just kind of sneaks behind the last defender and he’s the only one there.”

Trump [voters], however, appear[ed] determined to immediately push out everyone who was [in any way experienced in governance], regardless of whether or not [there was] anyone [remotely competent] in line for the job. Or, as our source put it: “It’s a shocking disregard for process and continuity of government.”

They won’t just be “our” meltdowns, dumbass. Radiation knows no political labels, unfortunately, so the consequences of this particular avenue of idiocy won’t primarily be suffered by those of you who voted for it (like the collapse of social services that blue states will be able to mitigate at the state level will).…

Yes, that’s right, the way economies of scale work is that things get more difficult to do the more you do them.

I don’t care that they are 12, a 12 year old, unless mentally HANDICAPPED is fully capable of understanding the actions and consequences of this situation.

Kelly is nothing more than a victim of the 49ers’ organizational dysfunction.

I don’t know what this comment is supposed to prove other than that double bull-double bull-D16 is probably the best 132 out if you’re a world-class player, and even moreso if your opponent is on an out shot. T20-T20-D6 would be the obvious alternative, and probably what the out charts would recommend (it’s been a…

‘Finally’? ‘Soon’? Have you been watching since he ran Harbaugh out of town? What do you call Tomsula and Kelly?
