They plotted scenarios that included no mitigation to heavy mitigation, and I have seen people plot current temps against the wrong scenario. But, there's a lot of intellectual dishonesty happening in the denial arena, as evidenced by posts here.

It's not perfect, but anthropomorphic climate change is real.

But girls have rights to not have boys compete with them right? So it is a question of rights on some level. The court case isn't about that though, it's about assault. I'm perceiving fewer stories about this.... Maybe because, or hopefully because, sports organizations are listening to their communities on this topic.

The Soviets story of WW2 is under told, because the Western allies had Hollywood to tell their stories. From, Gemini "Allied logistics were undeniably superior—with soldiers receiving luxuries like ice cream, cigarettes, and fresh rations" [ Edited to remove false apocryphal stories of Soviet cannon fodder]

They won because they out produced everyone, and were able to set an incredible global neoliberal agenda that succeeded until other countries' economies started to catch up.

I guess it is true that a trans girl was wrestling but the point is that there was an assault alleged. If people are thinking that this will somehow force the school to change policy... maybe that's what they hoping for?

1. It's too broad. A generalization, trans rights were voted in by conservatives in Canada. 2. I'm using accommodation as a general term for acceptance in society. 3. So some would call you in the right for saying that. 4. Agree. 5. Thank you.

1. I thought you were pointing out the lack of media coverage as bringing the credibility into question. I don't think this is a major story, so credible local coverage indicates it's at least a real situation, of concern to the community on both sides of the issue. 2. You said the mother was cashing in or some words to that effect. I'm not saying you're wrong, just saying that a truly objective observer might give the benefit of the doubt. I just believe that if you want to throw water on the trans hysteria out there, it's better to point out that reasonable people are using our institutions to work through the details of accommodating trans rights in a polite society. The idea that taking these cases to inflammatory media outlets is necessary is based on distrust of said institutions IMO. Reasonable people should be able to acknowledge that the accommodation of trans people is something new, that needs discussion and processing in the public sphere. That's where I am on the issue, though many on here doubt that.

1. If you say so. You didn't give the benefit of the doubt when you suspected someone of being a warrior though, to be fair. 2. Fair points. 3.

It's entertainment. Monty Cantsin once said "Bread feeds the hungry, video feeds the full" People who have too much time and have an inordinate influence on politics. It's always been so.

I thought you said there are populists on both sides ? What's your take on what the Democrat populists look like ? History note: Democrats owned populism 1932-1968 with a few exceptions who failed to win elections/relection ... one because he was an egg-head and the other because he was deceased.

This is also an allegation - but there is less reason to believe this than the one named in the lawsuit because there's nothing supporting it. Sorry, but culture war has two sides to it and you may be on one.

What you are missing is that a "deal" is indeed a work of art, not a material object. The art of the deal is subject to opinions, and as such it will be easy, I think, for the stakeholders to form a positive opinion of it. Edit: Form in my use here, has two meanings: I can "form" an opinion in my adherents and individuals can also "form" their opinions based on their biases and available information from trusted sources.

It still can, and does though.

Nothing in your post negates my post. 🙂 There's lots: Mythology, poetry, good advice, societal rules... And that's just the old testament.
