BS. Just like the impending ice age was fact when I was in middle school. *

not an observation. Global warming is not a theory. It is an observation made now over 100 years, all over the planet, from a vast array of different people, using different methodologies. The cause of this global temperature change is attempted to be explained in a theory . . . the most widely accepted one is anthropomorphic. There are many databases of actual temperature measurements available to you . . . all of them are observations . . . facts if you will . . . most of them say the same thing (though there is some divergence in ground verses sat, but not in the overall picture).

"The authority of government, even such as I am willing to submit to — for I will cheerfully obey those who know and can do better than I, and in many things even those who neither know nor can do so well — is still an impure one: to be strictly just, it must have the sanction and consent of the governed. It can have no pure right over my person and property but what I concede to it. The progress from an absolute to a limited monarchy, from a limited monarchy to a democracy, is a progress toward a true respect for the individual. Even the Chinese philosopher was wise enough to regard the individual as the basis of the empire. Is a democracy, such as we know it, the last improvement possible in government? Is it not possible to take a step further towards recognizing and organizing the rights of man? There will never be a really free and enlightened State until the State comes to recognize the individual as a higher and independent power, from which all its own power and authority are derived, and treats him accordingly. I please myself with imagining a State at least which can afford to be just to all men, and to treat the individual with respect as a neighbor; which even would not think it inconsistent with its own repose if a few were to live aloof from it, not meddling with it, nor embraced by it, who fulfilled all the duties of neighbors and fellow-men. A State which bore this kind of fruit, and suffered it to drop off as fast as it ripened, would prepare the way for a still more perfect and glorious State, which also I have imagined, but not yet anywhere seen."

Again, you have confused things . . . "impending ice age" was a theory . . . Wayne 11/8/2018 - 8:36 a.m.
