You mean the John Coleman mentioned here? Which points out the following;
The reason most people ignore the contradictory evidence is because it's usually unrelated crap pushed by people with literally no credentials or peer-reviewed work to back up their claims. It's as good as saying "Climate Change is a myth because I fucking said so."

Hah why even bother to make that video. Gametheory is presumptuous, masturbatory blathering. "Where do pokemon go inside a pokeball?!?" ugh stfu
He did. Back in 2013.
Look, if the Republicans start literally painting the Democratic party as worse than Hitler, that seriously undercuts our mocking hyperbole. We already lost "hurrr, well NObamacare is worse than SLAVERY!" to Dr. Carson, at this rate we'll be reduced to waving our hands around mutely when we want to parody a dittohead. :/

Two options:
1) He says he'll support Trump in the general, and people ask why he dared to criticize Trump in the first place. Also, he cries internally as his personal integrity is destroyed.
2) He says he won't support Trump. Trump grins smugly and metaphorically tears up that "fair play" agreement (actually, knowing him, he'll get on stage and tear up a real piece of paper), for whatever reason makes most sense to him, and even if he doesn't go independent, that option is now unlocked for him. More people flock to Trump. Kasich's political career is destroyed.
So, Kasich has to do a Schrodinger here. Will he? Won't he?

I think Kasich sees the party inevitably driving off the cliff, and he's currently positioning himself as one of its saviors when everyone comes to their senses.
I don't know if it will actually work out in his favor, but I think that's the game he's currently playing.
If Trump wins, I don't see Kasich endorsing him. I think he simply won't endorse anyone.

I think there will be a ton of Republican big-wigs who refuse to support Trump in the general and will be content in letting him lose in a landslide in hopes of hitting the reset button post 2016 if he ends up the nominee.
I do think the establishment would rather have Trump over Cruz as nominee. They hate both and know both would lose but it would be easier for them to paint Trump in a loss as not a "real Republican" and spin it as not really counting to more easily try to reset for 2018. Can't do that with Cruz.

He's the only same man in the asylum. It's that simple.
Hey, he's beating Jeb and even the surging Christie in NH.
A better question would be asking why he is running in the first place.
Gilmore is still in it? Seriously? I though he dropped weeks ago.

From yesterday, Jim Gilmore: Rand Paul “Really Not A Factor At This Point”. He's still spitting game.
Oh damn, he even released a new campaign ad a couple days ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBw145Be4zQ

That's some Trump level game. It's too bad he's not doing better, Gilmore vs Trump could have been epic. Especially if he can fire shots like that on-demand.
The New Yorker, wondering what we've been wondering for a while:
When Exactly Is Marco Rubio Supposed to Start Winning Primaries?
Might it be Nevada that mortally wounds his campaign, instead of Florida?
(Edit: I doubt it. The establishment is going to desperately cling to the first acceptable candidate to win a state.)

So Carter pretty much confirming boots on The ground. We won't lead and be visible but Obama wants to be able to do bin laden type raids it seems.
There's a lot of risk to that... But some upside. I think we can do damage without the propaganda victory of a western army for isis

After hearing about it the other day, I'm fully subscribed to the idea that the GOP has a Underpants Gnome type plan for Rubio.
I just can't see him winning any of the early states unless something drastic changes and I can't imagine the establishment is going to hang their hope on him through late February when he doesn't.

He is not necessary confirming " boots on the ground" . Firstly, Carter already said SOF will do raids and take a little more combative role a month ago and secondly; they already done that before and SOF already been in Syria/Iraq for many months before they were official announced I think. Carter is just making it more public I think.

A two term Hillary followed by a Democratic loss would probably make that year's loser a failure to secure a third term for his party like Stevenson in 1952 even though they will have controlled the WH for four terms.

Christie's resurgence was so yesterday. It's all about Rubio today: http://www.politico.com/story/2015/12/marco-rubio-pivots-new-hampshire-216295
As a side note, Rubio loves to use the phrase "turn the page."

Obligatory:
I appreciate that it might have been the wee hours of the morning, but you must have missed me saying "prevent further destruction of the World's precious and irreplaceable rain forests" and "air pollution (excluding CO2) is still a factor with coal - just look at the smog China is currently having to deal with".
The continuing destruction of the Earth's rainforests is a tragedy on many levels, even more so, when the cleared land is used by agro-business to grow cash crops (soy, palm oil trees etc) and to graise cattle. By all accounts, the indigeoous populations are dead against it, dead being the operative word, as many protesters, both local and foreign, have been murdered in the name of naked greed
.It is also very rich for the developed world, to try and impose restraints on developing countries, by insisting they use possibly expensive "clean" energy sources, which would inevitably restrict their growth. If we want to provide or share economically viable clean technologies, with the third World, or cold hard cash, that's great, but us tying their hands, in the name of a crisis that we supposedly caused, smacks of ultimate hypocrisy.
What's the difference between a U.S. political poll and a climate model? One typically relies on nineteenth century technology (landlines), and the other cuts out the middleman and uses supercomputers, baby.
Climate change wasn't a partisan issue in 1989:
Any stats on before that, like say before Reagan was sworn into office?
He needs to hire new writers, the line isn't that good. Pretty cliche really.

The whole idea of Rubio framing his campaign as fresh and new and "turning the page" when all of his political views are fucking regressive as fuck sure is rich.
Yeah, Marco, let's turn the page and usher in a new era where women who've been raped can't get abortions and the U.S. has no diplomatic relations with Cuba.

So is this new Daniel B troll gimmick him going insane and regarding all statistics as false now that it's obviously, based on statistics, that Bernie will not be the nominee.
I don't think anyone other than oil and coal companies or academics were that interested in climate change back in the 70s. I have to think the Republican party as a whole was fairly environmental though because Dick Nixon did start the EPA.
Weird how the Republican Party becoming the super religious party also involved them swearing off all environmental concerns...

Such a script kiddie. Wouldnt be surprised if he ran phishing scams in his spare time.
No, the difference is, actual human responses are required for a poll, even if the results are horribly skewed, because it relies on someone who still uses technology first introduced in 1876, where as, with a climate model, you merely have to plug in an incorrect assumption (rising CO2 levels cause global warming and not, according to ice core samples, CO2 levels rise in response to global temperature increases), to get the graph that fits your agenda.
Are you currently paying for a landline? No lying now, to save face; PoliGAF knows the truth
