.... Gravity is still a theory for fucks sake. AGW is a refining theory that still best explains the current climate environment and has matched fairly well with predictions made. This is nothing to do with bias, and if you look up whatever global cooling event people like to say scientists were claiming in the 70s…

Man with no education on the subject repeats conspiracy theory put forth by billion dollar oil companies...

Which is why when you look up who is paying for the research of almost all the scientists claiming research against climate change, you tend to see a lot of oil and coal companies. I don’t know why you think the U.S would have any reason to hate oil in general if it wasn’t actually detrimental, seeing how much we are…

Yes, who cares about the billions of human beings that live and/or are fed by areas of the planet that are incredibly susceptible to the climate change that is happening... North Dakota got a little farmland back!

“I can only relate via my relationship with women.” Try harder.

It’s aluminium in most of the English speaking world...

He was just venting, man, cmon.

If so, it succeded in both accounts.

Yellowstone is huge. You can have all the safety regulations you want, but there can’t be a staff member everywhere at every time to enforce them. You can put up railings and fences, and people will climb over them. You can put up signs saying “people have been killed falling from this very spot, GTFO”, and people…

I grew up 10 minutes from Acadia and those are quite literally the worst pictures of Acadia I have ever seen. I assure you, its worth the visit.

Yeah, those of us in Puget Sound see this pretty much every day.

Lived in L.A. for a while; mom used to live in Arizona and is now in Colorado. Been to 43 of the 50 states, and I love the west. Jagged mountains are lovely; no one denies this! /Simmons

Zion isn’t much fun until you see the backcountry.

Interesting geography has a bit of a West Coast bias (which is really obvious when flying cross country), so that would make sense.

Book a flight to Utah and go nuts.

Canyonlands is absolutely fucking amazing if you get off the beaten path.

It’s the ‘New York’ pronunciation of it, and I also hate it. Virtually everyone I know in NYC says ‘Mare-io’.

I wonder if the judges would’ve been more forgiving if the celebration didn’t start by laughing in the guy’s face.

@toxic: Ah, the age-old fallacy that says you can't hold an opinion on something unless you can do better.
