    Unfortunately, the Yam’s supporters (in general) either are unaware of the points you make or simply don’t care. What seems to motivate them most is fear – more specifically, fear that “others” (liberals, immigrants, anyone without a white skin or an Anglo-Saxon surname) are “out to get” them. Thus, the only way to save the country their fevered minds believe exists is to vote for the human traffic cone in the passenger’s seat of a dump truck.

    I offer two alternative answers to your question: 1) from the imaginations of various individuals who’ve been dead for thousands of years; or, 2) found as the prize in a box of Kellogg’s Corn Flakes in the 1950’s.

    You make a good point that I hadn’t considered. My only experience with “thumbs down” is Charlie Pierce’s blog, and while the option is there for commenters, not that many comments attract a “thumbs down”. Maybe that’s because Charlie’s preaching to the choir, or maybe there are other factors in play – I don’t know. I’m inclined to think the majority of folks who pay to read his blog do so because he’s an excellent writer and covers a wide range of subjects, but have no way to document/support that belief other than my observation that the vast majority of comments on his blog expand on a particular point he’s made rather than take issue with what he’s written.

    “Now. I charge my clients $100/hr, with a minimum of a half-hour charge. With MN state sales tax of 8.125% (Oct-Dec 2024), that would be an added $4.06, making a total charge of $54.06. Pay up.”

    I suspect you shouldn’t carry that open receivable on your books as an asset.

    A veritable walking, talking encyclopedia . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . of the greatest volume of the purest BS the world has ever seen.

    Maybe some hydroxychloroquine? Or some Clorox? Or “one day it’s like a miracle – it will disappear”

    Thanks for the Scientific American reference. It truly hammers home the problem of having a majority of supposedly “wise souls” with lifetime appointments making legal decisions about scientific issues they clearly don’t understand. My only quibble is that you refer to it as an “article” – it’s an editorial opinion from the editors of the magazine rather than an “article”. Their “articles” are reports on scientific research into various fascinating issues.

    The decision you reference is “Ohio v EPA”, but that’s far from the only case the editors of SA point to as evidence of the supposed “wisdom” of those appointees. Also included are “Kennedy v. Bremerton School District”, “Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo”, “West Virginia v. EPA”, “Biden v. Missouri”, and, of course, “Dobbs v. Jackson”. The “Loper” decision is most commonly referred to as the “Chevron Deference” ruling.

    In reply to your comment above where you say “. . . better to say ‘I don’t know’ . . . " I offer a thought from Epicurus, a Greek philosopher who lived roughly 341 BC to 270 BC:

    “Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then He is not omnipotent. Is He able, but not willing? Then He is malevolent. Is He both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is He neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?”

    I wish Go Comics had a “thumbs-down” option to dislike comments. Charlie Pierce’s blog (for one) has that option.

    It would also be nice if any comments exceeding a predetermined number of of “thumbs-down” ratings triggered Go Comics to block the comment’s author for six or nine months. I know, I know. Such clowns and bots would simply pop up under a different name and continue with their asininity, but I can still hope. I try to flag what I feel are the more egregious examples, but have no idea if that’s just p***ing in the wind or not.

    And it would also be nice if I could win the lottery without buying a ticket — about as likely to happen as my wish above.

    Thank you for stating the issue so clearly. Not that it’s likely to convince any anthropogenic change deniers, but maybe, just maybe, one or two of them will begin to realize the critical distinctions between climate and weather.
