That’s interesting, fire risk can’t be easy to assess. I was thinking the flood data would be more reliable.

Is there an easily understandable user friendly site to enter in a U.S. address for flooding and fire risk? People I know are currently looking to buy a house and Zillow took their flood risk assessment away.

Investing long term is always a smart move. No need to defend this Mike. I do think it’s really unfortunate how many Americans don’t have a life that allows for this kind of long term retirement strategy. The 401k or pension access enjoyed by us is yet another big driver of inequality.

It’s always a dilemma when you play a game where you follow the rules and the other person is a lunatic and doesn’t follow the rules. The fed at this point should error more on the side of what Trump doesn’t want.

I thought it was “Hiroshima bombs per second”. Is the difference due to H bombs today being far more devastating? Scary enough as it is I guess.

Is this 1850-1900 time period the baseline that most scientists use when they refer to 1.5 or 2 degrees warning thresholds in IPCC literature or elsewhere?

His early support of crypto was enough to convince me never to read another book of his even if he had some interesting ideas on some topics. It’s just too big of a stain on your character.

Yes, that’s why OHC is such a good metric to look at, especially for warming acceleration. It clearly shows acceleration over the long run. It may take another decade to discern if their is more acceleration occurring since 2023.

It’s not the polling results or success rate, it’s the lack of transparency with Rasmussen and their actions around Jan 6 2021 that cause distrust.
Elliott Morris is so much better than RCP.

RCP still uses Rasmussen for starters…..It’s funny to watch how fast Sean will post a good poll for Trump and how long he will drag his feet on a bad poll. Dude just doesn’t hide his bias well enough.

This could all just be a TACO move right? It seems likely we can’t just invade a country again with large numbers of troops.

Ok that sounds like the most plausible plan.

That just seems politically unfathomable, right? I can’t imagine how Americans would just go along with that.

We would have to send in 100,000’s of troops right? And do it possibly without congressional approval or debate. Has anyone said anything about logistics of this occupation?

Are we sending troops in to occupy Venezuela? I’m really confused right now. This is a country the size of Iraq in 2003. What would this look like?
