And making abortion illegal is bad for women.
Making Abortion-on-demand illegal creates more women, and who doesn't want more women in the world? What a conundrum.

Yeah, I kinda realized Vega isn't worth talking to when he couldn't answer a simple question of how much AGW was responsible for the current temperature rise.

Instead he kept regurgitating the 97% statistic that only includes scientists that simply claim "AGW exists" with no mention on how much it matters.

At least he didn't claim Nasa had any doom prophecies. Because NASA doesn't, even though it's "government science"

What is the deal with all these indictments?

@cristo71
I never knew he supported Trump until I looked over his wiki bio.

In July 2022, Zakaria wrote a Washington Post article titled "Forget pronouns. Democrats need to become the party of building things", in which he said "There is plenty of evidence that the Democratic Party has moved left, that it is out of sync with Americans on many of these cultural issues, and that it needs to correct course" and that "This is not a perception problem. It is a reality problem. Democrats need to once more become the party that gets stuff done, builds things and makes government work for people. That’s a lot more important to most Americans than using the right pronouns"

Definitely does not sound like your typical partisan hack.

 That would be extremely flawed reasoning.
And yet, that was the pitch for "the inflation reduction act"....that we could borrow our way out of the problem :)

What they ignore however is that the text was literally just one of Hunter's colleagues asking if he should include Joe in the business deal to which no one responded that he should.

Yet debt is increasing and interest rates are falling and inflation is falling 
It seemed like he was implying that raising the debt causes inflation to fall.

How about you, do you have any sources that ascribes how much AGW contributes to the current warming?

@Vegasgiants
that percentage refers to consensus. There's no claim of AGW percentage contribution to current global warming.

I too, can find thousands of articles that claim many scientists say AGW exists, whether it causes 1% of the warming or 100% of the current warming. I would like to know how much it contributes to the current warming. If you can't find any articles with any ranges or estimates, that's fine.

That report has no mention of any range or the number 100 or percent. I did a complete word search of the entire document.

Do you have another source maybe that does?

Source? Your previous source made no mention of any range.

Again, what does the word "around" mean. 99%? 99.999%? 90-100%?

1-100% maybe?

Works for me
I suppose any unsourced number could work I guess.

wow, I wasn't aware there was a SCOTUS ruling saying you can't exercise your 1st amendment right if a government authority figure classifies your speech as a lie.

In the United States, cigarette smoking is linked to about 80% to 90% of lung cancer deaths. Using other tobacco products such as cigars or pipes also increases the risk for lung cancer. There's multiple studies on this.

Where's your source for percentage of AGW contribution for warming? If you say we cannot know, then that's fine.

around 100% 
Define this exactly. Is that 90% 99%....

And what are the sources of warming from the remaining percent?

According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC)

I just did a word search for "around 100 percent" and found nothing in your source.

have a significant contribution 
Define this exactly. How about a ballpark estimate if not.

I prefer the term AGW when discussing the science
So maybe NASA articles about climate change wouldn't be your best source. Sources about AGW would support your claim better.

It's legal to advertise any corporate outlet, such as WAPO.

All you have said is "ACGCC is happening"
I dunno, He seems to support AGW, to some degree. 
Not sure about his ACGCC claims.

Whether AGW is responsible for 1% or 100% of the recorded warming, we don't know, because none of the NASA articles cited address that issue.

Mitch McConnell HUMILIATED By Chants Of RETIRE, Voters AGREE

Things are changing in a big way. Mitch McConnell, who's been in Congress for a long time, got embarrassed and booed by people at an event. They want him to retire because they're fed up with how things are going in our government. People are realizing that the government is kind of messed up. Back in 2016, many folks voted for Donald Trump because they thought he would fix things, but he didn't completely do that. He exposed some problems, but he didn't get rid of all the issues. People are starting to wake up and pay attention to what's happening in politics, especially with Trump and Biden. Some are even talking about trying to remove Biden from office. The important thing is that we can't just rely on one person to fix everything. We all need to get involved and vote for the changes we want to see, especially in our Congress. That's how we can really make a difference.
