‘I think it more likely that the NYT is backing off of the “denier” label because they’ve figured out there is more science on the side of the opposition than they were willing to believe when the term crawled out of the neo-Nazi ooze to similarly defame folks based on their understanding of the science that is involved”
I believe it was AP that said it was scaling back the term ‘denier’ not the NYT.LikeLike

This comment from the “jon” link is utter bullshit.
“For years, U.S. car buyers eschewed diesel due to the lack of infrastructure for the fuel, the competition with cheaper U.S. gasoline, and U.S. consumers reluctance to put up with some of the drawbacks of the diesel engine of yesteryear, such as engines that vibrated more and were noisier, Nerad said.”
The only true parts are, “more expensive, and noisier” Plenty of people buy diesels.
It’s just bad news for VW.
Then there are these Ca. specials, from tractors to big rigs. OH the nightmare with those.LikeLike

-
Frisch is wrong when he writes, “I think it is unlikely that very many journalists are going to replace the one word ‘denier’ with the phrase ‘those who reject mainstream climate science’.”
The decision is not up to the reporters (a journalist is a newsman looking for work); it will be made by the editors they work for. While the AP Style Book is the starting point for most newspapers, everybody makes exceptions to AP’s preferences to suit their own tastes.
Big city papers do it more than small ones like The Union, but from now on every AP story on the subject will use the phrase “those who reject mainstream climate science.” Most newspapers won’t bother to change it.LikeLike

Hey Walt. Think, think, think. Its a big win for the USA. China is already doing deals with Airbus and has an Airbus plant in China and if Boeing didn’t do the deal, their entire $950 BILLION dollar spending budget for jets over the next 2 decades would have gone mainly to Airbus. We are talking about a finishing facility in China for Boeing. Like it or not, its the way of world trade. Do you comprehend that nearly a TRILLION dollars is at stake over 20 years in Chinese business. You want them to buy French planes instead of American? Boeing just put itself in a great stable financial stream with a huge backorder business now. HUGE win for Boeing and America. Ben may disagree, but this is a huge positive for American business.

The other shoe drops. Russians and Iranians set up general staff level coordination cell in Bagdad Iraq it is reported today. While at the same time an air bridge of Russian air cargo ships flies out of iran. Today 24 combat aircraft used the air bridge as cover flying without transponders and with jammers on using the radar shadow of the cargo ships by flying in tight formation. If they are just helping assad in Syria why fighters? Why do they need to attempt to hide their new squadrons with extreme measures like this? It looks like 0 has put the Russians back in place in the middle east to stay. Well now we get the meaning of 0’s quip to Medvedev to tell Vlad he will be more flexible in his second term.

Well, as The Donald begins to slide in the polls, The Trump Effect remains. Looks like The White House internal polling is pointing to what pisses American voters off the most.

http://news.yahoo.com/video/search-undocumented-immigrants-la-county-021837265.html
Now, to be fair, The White House called this new trend disturbing. Gee, I wonder where all those unaccompanied minor illegal aliens got the idea to come here?? It’s not fair for the newbies. The other undocumented foreign nationals got free plane rides and bus tours just last year. And shelter and food and money and medical checkups. Totally unfair. August is always the slow time for illegal entry. Whatz up with that? Another mystery I tell ya. Let’s just call it “The Obama Effect”.

Yup,, even the New Zealand born kids go with.
“For years, the United Nations and environmentalists warned there would be tens of millions of people forced to leave their homes due to global warming. The United Nations predicted there would be 50 million climate refugees by 2010 — a number that failed to materialize.”
“Interestingly enough, Kiribati’s tidal gauge shows the sea level around the island nation has been falling in recent decades.”
