6 facts climate change alarmists desperately avoid

6 facts climate change alarmists desperately avoid:
"Dispelling many of the so-called “facts” undergirding “climate change” scientists’ argument that man-made pollutants are causing “global warming,” one climate-change skeptic points to six major reasons why environmental extremists’ devout belief in melting glaciers, rising oceans and drowning polar bears is merely science fiction.

• First: Cooling down a heated debate

Haskins began his fact check by stressing the abysmal track record of climate alarmists, who are virtually never held accountable for their predictions that grossly miss the mark because Americans are preoccupied with other more important issues...

• Second: Where’s the extreme weather?

Many climate change skeptics are also asking when all of this extreme weather and cataclysmic natural phenomena resulting from global warming – that has been predicted time and time again – will actually happen...

Guardian: Why Not Have 100% 'Inheritance Tax'? | Daily Wire:

"It is unfair that some inherit more wealth than others given their familial circumstances, argues Wilkinson:

Morally speaking, people who stand to inherit large sums haven’t done anything to earn that money. An accident of birth placed them in a comparatively wealthy family and they’ve benefited from that their whole life. Some people who stand to inherit have struggled, true, but so have many people who won’t inherit anything at all.

Living people have greater needs than the dead, argues Wilkinson in her advocacy for a confiscatory “inheritance tax”:

But what if the desires of the dead directly damage the wellbeing of the living?"

Toyota's New Solid-State Battery Could Make Its Way To Cars By 2020 - Slashdot

Toyota's New Solid-State Battery Could Make Its Way To Cars By 2020 - Slashdot: 
"According to the Wall Street Journal, Toyota is in production engineering for a solid state battery, which uses a solid electrolyte instead of the conventional semi-liquid version used in today's lithium-ion batteries.

The company said it aims to put the new tech in production electric vehicles as early as 2020. TechCrunch reports:
The improved battery technology 

• would make it possible to create smaller, more lightweight lithium-ion batteries for use in EVs, that could also 
• potentially boost the total charge capacity and 
• result in longer-range vehicles. 
• Another improvement for this type of battery would be longer overall usable life, which would make it possible to both use the vehicles they're installed in for longer, and 
• add potential for product recycling and alternative post-vehicle life (some companies are already looking into putting EV batteries into use in home and commercial energy storage, for example)."

All Fossil-Fuel Vehicles Will Vanish In 8 Years, Says Stanford Study - Slashdot

All Fossil-Fuel Vehicles Will Vanish In 8 Years, Says Stanford Study - Slashdot
"Stanford University economist Tony Seba forecasts in his new report that petrol or diesel cars, buses, or trucks will no longer be sold anywhere in the world within the next eight years. 
As a result, the transportation market will transition and switch entirely to electrification, "leading to a collapse of oil prices and the demise of the petroleum industry as we have known it for a century," reports Financial Post. From the report:
Seba's premise is that people will stop driving altogether. They will switch en masse to self-drive electric vehicles (EVs) that are ten times cheaper to run than fossil-based cars, with a near-zero marginal cost of fuel and an expected lifespan of 1 million miles. Only nostalgics will cling to the old habit of car ownership..."Read on!

Pakistan Refuses To Crack Down On Terror, Mattis Responds Accordingly: Enough Is Enough | John Hawkins' Right Wing News

Pakistan Refuses To Crack Down On Terror, Mattis Responds Accordingly: Enough Is Enough | John Hawkins' Right Wing News:

"He’s withholding $440 million because they have not sufficiently stopped the Haqqani terror network there. Mattis is nothing if not a man of his word. The Trump administration is evidently putting pressure on Pakistan to clean up their act there and to stop letting militant groups run wild and with impunity in Afghanistan. These particular terrorists are the ones attacking American military in Afghanistan, so you can see why Mattis is pissed at them."

Carrier Night Landing Is The Most FRIGHTENING USN Operation Ever - World War Wings

Carrier Night Landing Is The Most FRIGHTENING USN Operation Ever - World War Wings
"Your Hands Will Get Sweaty Just Watching This.

This awesome video was made by a Youtuber who got inspired by a side-by-side surgical video. Seeing the difference and comparison of the two shots, he decided to make the same video for what he loves, namely, aviation.

Most of you know the differences between being a pilot who lands on airstrips and aviators who land on aircraft carriers. As some put it, “it’s like landing on a postage stamp in the middle of a pool.”

When landing at night, you trust your training, skill and instruments. That’s it!

Not only that, aircraft carriers move as you can imagine. You have the constant swaying and pitching of the vessel as you’re trying to battle ocean winds and catch an invisible cable with a hook in the back of your plane. Sounds treacherous we know, and it absolutely is.

Now coming back to the video this guy made, it features yet another (and most dangerous) aspect of being a Navy aviator. That is landing at night of course. All the afore mentioned hazards are there as well, but you can barely see anything. 

Yes, the deck is illuminated by little lights but when you watch this video, you’ll see what a crazy breed these guys really are. 

Major respect..."
