When the president does it, it's not cheating at golf.

While water is definitely a greenhouse gas, it is difficult to imagine how we could affect its ratio in the atmosphere (technically the stratosphere) by any means other than directly raising the temperature. IOW the atmosphere already holds all the water that it can hold at this temp.

This does not really address the original point, which asks "what difference does it make if we use inefficient generators to create the electricity in the first place?" Moving the smoke, so to speak. The answer is that generating electricity at scale is often vastly more efficient than your ICE.

You can order Smith Island cakes, if anyone is curious. And now you know they name for a cake with too many layers to count.

It's only uncinstitutional for the president to receive money from foreigners, it's not actually illegal.

Barry Goldwater invented it, but his bluntness cost him the North. Nixon perfected it by using dog whistles, while Strom Thurmon played the race card more bluntly on his behalf. Jimmy Carter forced them to expand to include greater themes of the role of women and religion. None of this is a secret.

Not really a scientist. He adopted the appearance of one, but would feed you to Stalin if you tried to actually practice the scientific method near him.

Is there one that employs autistic children? Maybe in Viet Nam? Also, how do they ship it? Do they pack it in extra popcorn or just put it straight in the box?

That would be great. I like to noodle around with odd arrangements of Bowie songs but my band is remarkably uninterested, if barely tolerant of my "experiments". "WhY aRe wE doINg tHis?" You know Elvis didn't have to put up with that.

It might be fun to actually create an Andrew Tate mode, as an exercise. I think it would be interesting and educational to try to get inside his head.

Chiggers reach down into the dermis, though by the time the itch starts the larvae are gone; they must suppress histamine somehow. If these fleas stick to eating the epidermis they might avoid activating the immune system, obviously an advantage to them.

The great trees did not cut themselves down. The Rapa Nui must have grasped what was happening, and yet did nothing to prevent it. "Loss of trees is natural. "They will grow back on their own. "Nothing we can do. "Too late; too expensive. "Let our children worry about it.

In America today, ten times as many lawyers are credentialed each year than machinists. I am especially concerned considering that many of these new lawyers will spend their careers inventing novel ways to circumvent laws. I shall stop there.

Now that you bring it up, what forms of music will not be central to your coverage of 20th century "Rock" music? I am not sure I know what rock is. "4/4 time signature with verse-chorus form" is so vague as to be meaningless. It describes most popular music except for the rock songs it excludes.

Look for the water sources that mosquitoes breed in. Forest Day Mosquitoes are very weak fliers and do not move far from where they hatched. Eliminate anything that can hold a bit of water, like bits of trash, buckets, almost any plastic or metal thing.

I was never a big fan of King Crimson, but hearing "Hall of the Crimson King" as the minister's palace theme in Children of Men was very moving. Still, I don't think many people recognized the song.
