Ok...i should have said "all but guaranteed under all BUT the most wildly optimistic projections". Got me.

Since, time and time again, the UN "collaborative summary" has had to be revised upwards, and recent measurements show current melting rates it claimed won't be seen until 2075 in Greenland, yes, I have a low opinion of their political/scientific consensus...but the scenarios I mentioned are not the most extreme I can find, just the most likely if you look at data rather than projections based on the conglomeration of incomplete, cherry picked, and non peer reviewed science as well as full scientific studies.

The IPCC does not carry out original research, nor does it monitor climate or related phenomena itself. Rather, it assesses published literature including peer-reviewed and non-peer-reviewed sources. Thousands of scientists and other experts contribute on a voluntary basis to writing and reviewing reports, which are then reviewed by governments.
They are not the scientific community, they are an international political body chaired by an economist that makes suggestions hopefully based on real honest science, but not necessarily.


There is plenty of consensus that the IPCC estimates are low....NOAA gives up to a 2.5M rise estimate for RCP8.5...the no mitigation, business as usual model we are outpacing already. Based on their numerical system, we're looking at RCP 10+ because emissions are rising, not flatlined, certainly not lowering.

Hi mikeshl13,
Your wonderful real time interview is flatlining:
http://www.videosift.com/video/David-Simon-on-Real-Time-with-Bill-Maher

Yo aiiyo people wonderin' where the fuck I been
At the VIP section they ain't lettin' me in
They say; maybe if you had Dr. Dre or Timbaland
They say; a white boy need a black boy to win
Uhh Bubba Sparxx did it and so did Slim
Just Blaze is hot now why don't you get with him
I watch mad rappers bite my shit and blow up
And make millions of what I created, that's tough luck
I first started gettin' coverage around the same time
Steve Stout used to carry kid and placed luggage
I seen rappers turned from sex symbols in hard throbs
To bein forgotten now they out lookin' for jobs
I seen EPMD break up
I seen my little brother Max fall asleep and he ain't never wake up
So when I rhyme listen, seriously
When I spit I'm givin' you the truth clearly who I really be
It's an audio version of reality TV
I had deals from Russell Simmonds to Master P
Even five year old white girls be rappin' today
On the playground like 'go shorty it's ya birthday' (Go, go, go..)

Yo yo yo I seen good days sun rays church sundays
Made love made war been rich been poor
Lost friends lost hoods lost my dough
Seen beef between Bad Boy and Death Row
I seen deceased take the life for my sisters kid
Six months on the earth is what he had to live
I seen Biggie Big L Big Pun pass away
Buffy from the Fat Boys, Jam Master Jay
I mumple 'fore they blew up with Mystikal and Jay-Z
The Neptunes came to see me at D & D
I knew this chick named Norah a lounge singer
A year later she a six Grammy award winner
I seen flatliners I seen cannabisses
I seen Lil Zane see I seen mad misses
You ran through that ten percent disses
I seen A & R's get fired for takin' pisses
Stop whinin' the fuck nobody listens
Who else riskin' they career they stick to be indifferent
Switchin' the tradition stickin' to this shit they really livin'
I don't care what's hittin
Listen this is my fuckin' life that I'm spittin

I made peace with myself now how bout that
I hated life I wanted to die a few years back
I was mentally ill it's hard to come back from that
But I got through it now I got my sanity back
Y'all are like H-B-O fighters get the money and fame
Get beat up like Klitschko and Sugar Shane
Or get beat like Vernon Forrest or Prince Naseem
And you all turn pussy when you get that green
I got love for Havoc from Mobb Deep
When I was broke sleepin' in the street
He hooked me up with a free beat
Alchemist you still my little buddy
Althought you stole that Royce the 5"9 +The King+ beat from me
I ain't down to sign autographs and shake ya hands
I don't want trendy ass followers as fans
I don't wanna sell records, I don't wanna be big
I don't want MTV runnin' up in my crib
I don't wanna be light in the music biz
I don't want fans that don't know who G Rap is

Progressive tax is the only "fair" tax you can make. A flatlined tax would be deeply unfair.

There's two definitions of fairness: equitable fairness (give everyone an equal slice) and proportional fairness (give everyone a slice proportional to their contribution).
In game theory studies, females average more toward the former and males average more toward the latter.
The U.S. believes in the latter more than any other wealthy nation, though demographic shifts seem likely to push the U.S. to the left on our fairness definition.

I think there are good arguments on both sides of the issue for many reasons.


But aren't both points moot in a way? Regardless of whether you have a flat or progressive rate, given the current system and the ability to game it for deductions and exemptions through shrewd accounting, the rich--and in particular corporations--who can afford such accountants will still wind up paying less than their fair share (however you define "fair").

Removing the system of deductions, on the other hand, is problematic also, because gross income rarely tells the whole story. For instance, so what if you made $100,000 last year? If you're hospitalized for several months and have to pay $80,000 in hospital fees, then you're probably not livin' large or carrying around large amounts of disposable income. Deductions and adjusted gross income takes things like this into account.

I guess I don't see a need to majorly overhaul the current system. No, it's not perfect by any means. Like all complex systems (the legal system for instance) it should constantly be monitored and adjusted. But I don't think throwing it out entirely is the panacea that a lot of people seem to think it would be.

If by "fair" you mean "level the playing field" ideas of taxes. States with sales taxes work very well and are "flat". Flat taxes make since in all but only the most extreme cases of poverty, there are always rules of exception with anything and those can be worked out with certain special case stuff. But the bulk of America would benifit from a flat taxes.

I don't see how taking more money from someone because they have more is fair at all though. The only cases I see it being unfair is for those who truely poor beyond all ablilty to exist, but once again, that is a minority of the people in the US. It doesn't make since to make a tax code based on the rules of exception, be that rich or poor.

Anyway, did you think her hair was odd? If she is a blond, then I am a world renoun tax lawyer.

Progressive tax is the only "fair" tax you can make. A flatlined tax would be deeply unfair.

ah, anyone seen "Flatliners?"

Flatline, Samberg.
