A sea otter in a dress might be more efficient than the TSA:

Less than a month after a news outfit reported that dozens of airport employees around the country have potential ties to terrorists, officials from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) admit that only three airports in the United States require workers to undergo security checks. The astounding admission, delivered this week before Congress, comes on the heels of a number of cases involving gun and drug-smuggling schemes operated by airline employees at major airports, including those located in Atlanta, New York and San Francisco.

If they're smuggling drugs and money, it is only a matter of time until an explosive device is put on a plane in the US. Oh, trust me, it's drugs.

Too big to fail?

IRA,

Burn them to the ground.

In all, about 16,000 Mizzou hospital and campus employees — including professors — will be responsible for the upkeep of their offices beginning this summer.

Students will be immune to the extra work.

In the I'll believe it is a problem when they start acting like it is a problem category (emphasis mine):

As with all iterations of the New Religion, the struggle is a central part of the cult of climate change. The truest believers are all members of the ruling elite, yet they carry on like they are plucky underdogs fighting mysterious dark forces that secretly control society. The strange thing you see with guys like Gore is the sacralizing of suffering on behalf of the cause. The whole climate change racket is shot thought with whining about the need to give up the comforts of modernity.

Even weirder, they have no intention of actually suffering for their faith. Instead, they want to make you suffer. Al Gore can buy “green credits” like indulgences because he is worth close to a billion. That means he gets to live like a royal, enjoying your suffering as you try to work the new gas can. His mansion is lit up like Versailles, while you squint in the florescent haze of your eco-friendly CFL. It’s suffering by proxy, where they sacrifice their time to watch you suffer as a result of their policies.

From Sixclaw's Mizzou article:

Parking lots will only be cleaned on Mondays and there will be no weekend cleanup after home football games.

Oh, that's going to be fun. They have 7 home football games, and their stadium seats 71,000. Now, I wouldn't expect the games against directional Michigan, directional Delaware, and directional Tennessee to sell out, but the game with Georgia should be sold out, and the games against Kentucky, Vandy, and Arkie should be well attended.

And more than a few people will show up just to tail gate. Man, that's gonna be a lot of trash. No clean up? you think recruiting students is going to me more difficult because the lawn hasn't been mowed for three weeks? wait till the get a load of the three day old reek from the tail gate refuse.

Sowing, reaping, how does that work?

Darth, I don't know how it goes at Mizzou, but in Auburn and Tuscaloosa and Knoxville and Gainesville, every home game sells out no matter who the opponent is. They can play the local Pop Warner kids' team and it will still sell out.

Oy.

My thoughts: youtu.be/iSXx_A5bhXA "I don't normally swear this much".

Cousin Dave, that's not true in Tallahassee. For some of the Little Sisters of the Poor games we get offered last minute ticket deals.

Mizzou would have rather gone to the B1G conference, but decided that an SEC landing would have been better than being stuck in the BXII-IV+II. Maybe their ticket sales have gone up since 2012, but I still remember walking up and buying a home game ticket at the window on the day of a game.

Granted, that was 20 years ago, so...YMMV.

"the cult of climate change"

Good conservatives hate them some science.

Unlike NASA, for instance. Commie bastards!

But keep repeating the Big Lie. Deniers uber alles!

Why are deniers dishonest?

If it's a hoax...

I get that nobody wants the Feds to say when and where and what they can drive, what lightbulbs they can have, etc., but damn!

Rad, the globe has been warming for 11,000 years. For roughly all of that time the latest year has been 'the hottest year on record'.

For the climate changers to be correct they need to show not just that the globe is getting warmer but that mankind is causing the warming and that the warming is catastrophic.

And almost everything in your second link is dishonest. So if climate change proponents are correct why are they so dishonest? (...maybe because everyone lies in politics. people suck...)

NASA finally admits what we've known all along-- they're spraying us with lithium, along with a few other nasty surprises... all of it legal, mind you.

Ben - lotta people trying to claim that when you burn something, the fire isn't where the heat comes from.

Maybe somebody ought to think about that first.

Seriously Rad? You are going with a 'fire is hot' argument?

The sun dumps ~1000watts/m^2. Combustion waste heat is on the order of ~0.028watts/m^2. People have thought about this. Your numbers don't add up.

"Your numbers don't add up."

Ben, it would be useful if you stayed out of the grocery if you can't tell apples from oranges. You're gonna disappoint people at the dinner table. You just called the profession that monitors the Sun nuts for saying something is happening here independently of it.

Suppose I opened a plant upwind of you making sulfur dioxide and released a bunch of it. Are you going to be satisfied, sit down and be quiet, because you know that volcanoes emit sulfur dioxide? Much more than I dumped?

Want to vent the exhaust pipe of your car into the house? Of course not.

Two wrongs don't make a right. One does not excuse the other.

Ask this simple question to test your own honesty: are humans generating electrical power and burning fossil fuels for transportation?

Your answer was, "Yes". That's all there is to it.

It is hotter in the cities. That's not debatable at all. There are more cities than there used to be. Yet deniers can look at a picture of the night side of Earth, lit up like a Christmas tree by gigawatts of outdoor lighting, and then say, "Nope. Nothing happening here."

You know that there is visible evidence of humans changing the surface of the Earth, even if you can't tell me how much CO2 and H2O is produced from a gallon of gasoline.

That's an apple, and that's an orange.

Yes, humans are changing the earth. So what? Yes there energy is being released. I listed roughly how much. Once again, so what? That is insufficient for the climate change argument.

You must show not only that the globe is getting warmer (hint it is and has been for thousands of years), but also that mankind is causing the warming (a mixed bag here. some actions increase temps and some decrease.), and in addition to both of those that this warming is catastrophic. If there is no downside to the warming, so what? Who cares? So if we are going to take action global warming must be an issue. Considering the actions proposed to 'solve' global warming this must be a threat to our nation and possibly to our species. A failure to demonstrate that threat shows that the solutions are inappropriate.

The 97% of climate scientists agree global warming is real claim, I'm part of that group. As I said the globe has been warming for ~11,000 years. Do people change the environment, yes! You have to be a fool to claim otherwise. But 97% of climate scientists do not agree that global warming is catastrophic event. Look up the study and see the questions they asked. The implied claim is a lie.

So as you asked, why are they dishonest? But hey, you go back to regulating that sun. Don't let the big wolf eat it. That would suck.

"So what?" "But hey, you go back to regulating that sun. Don't let the big wolf eat it. That would suck."

Why would you add this? I didn't suggest it. Phil Plait didn't suggest it. None of those links suggested it, either.

You've put a big emotional... component... into your views.

I get why. Nobody - including me - wants to be told by government what to do, because we've all seen that government truly sucks. They get paid the same if they're idiots.

Do you recognize the lunacy of admitting that humans are changing the earth and then denying they affect it?

I suggest we should all understand how cars work, and then discerning the difference between politics and physics.

Physics will have the final say, even as I despair of those who have no idea of the properties of heat. It never seems to quiet them.

Here are a couple of things to suggest the extent of humanity's impact:

Land Mammals, by weight...

and

World Population.

Oddly, this last has been made possible because of vaccination limiting disease, and fossil fuels enabling food and water distribution. Stop those, and population drops.
