Why Shell's Marketing is so Disgusting
*Heavy sigh*
No. They don't say that. The science has evolved in the last 5 years. (Edit: Might check how old and out of date that ipcc report is, btw. Please note you ignore all science done since the 2014 IPCC report you reference that used melting equations and extrapolated rather than measured data sets, data and models they admit are incomplete. They have not updated their sea level estimates since the fifth assessment, which itself raised them approximately 60% over the fourth, which raised them significantly from the third...... Other nonpolitical scientific groups have adjusted the findings to include up to 6.5' or higher rise by 2100 under worst case conditions, the path we're firmly on today.)
Even if you were correct, and I don't agree one bit you are, is just under a 3' rise not bad enough for you in the next 70 years? That's at least 140 million people and all coastal habitats displaced, with more to come. I and others expect worse, but surely that's disaster enough for you, isn't it? The world couldn't deal with one million Syrians, 140 million coastal refugees, and whatever number of non coastal climate refugees fleeing drought or flood sure seems an unavoidable planetary disaster. That doesn't consider the two billion people who rely on Himalayan glaciers for their water, glaciers in rapid retreat.
I guess you dismiss the science from NOAA based simply on it being presented in Forbes without reading it then....so I should just dismiss the IPCC, another non scientific economically focused group discussing science?
Here's some more science then. Edit: Seems most CURRENT projections using up to date data are more in line with my expectations than yours.

*my content?*
@newtboy said:
“i should have said "all but guaranteed under all BUT the most wildly optimistic projections". Got me”
Sigh, no. All but the most extreme end of the most pessimistic projections are for under 3ft by 2100. That is the science.
Each of your earlier claims can be demonstrated to be equally contrary to actual scientific expectation. Regrettably, your content to refute the IPCC with a link to a Forbes article...
Its a waste of my time to point out the science if you aren’t willing to. I’m out.

The Real National Emergency Is Climate Change: A Closer Look
http://archive.is/4CVqH
10 year plan. Twice as effective as the USSR's 5 year plans
...Fully rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure, restoring our natural ecosystems (needed), dramatically expanding renewable power generation (needed, but it also doesn't mean we should be throwing money away on stupid shit like solar roadways), overhauling our entire transportation system (regional flights, which sort of make up around 70% of total flights, would be targeted for elimination and massively expensive (slower) electrical trains would be put in their place), upgrading all our buildings (most businesses are already moving to green solutions) , jumpstarting US clean manufacturing (see highly expensive and non-competitive with cheaper overseas mfg), transforming US agriculture (forcing a move from cows/pigs/chickens to plant based proteins)...
While we are at it, might as well do the following:
A job with family-sustaining wages, family and medical leave, vacations, and retirement security (Nice, but you can't just make these jobs available. They are supply and demand.)
High-quality education, including higher education and trade schools (Needed)
High-quality health care (Needed)
Clean air and water (Needed)
Healthy food (Subjective, is meat considered healthy?)
Safe, affordable, adequate housing (because this works, ie Projects...)
An economic environment free of monopolies (Technically this exists already, except in countries outside of the USA and EU)
Economic security to all who are unable or unwilling to work (SWEET! SIGN ME UP FOR THAT CHECK!!!)
I get that his spiel is comedy based, but the GND is about half reality and half looney tunes.
Man Coughs Up A Lung Then Dies
According to the article that I read, he felt much better immediately after coughing up the clot, but the numerous complications of his heart failure (hence the anticoagulants) were too severe for doctors to be able to save him and he died a week later.
They also speculated that the cast was so good due to an infection causing a higher than usual concentration of fibrinogen in his blood making it unusually rubbery.

How Vintage Game Controllers Worked
I'm embarrassed to admit that I never knew how the NES/SNES controllers were wired until watching this video.
For others curious, here's a timing diagram:

Two Decades of Memes: All Your Base
"North Carolina State University students hack a local news weather ticker..."
Uh, no. I have an archive of this and what had happened was their news submission web page was not vetted at all. Anything you submitted was live on the next display cycle. Once that was discovered, of course the students spammed the hell out of it.
It is not hacking if the site has no security.
