a news article has the headline of " ‘case closed’: 99.9% of scientists agree climate emergency caused by humans"; see https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/oct/19/case-closed-999-of-scientists-agree-climate-emergency-caused-by-humans .
the article says in part the following.. 'the scientific consensus that humans are altering the climate has passed 99.9%, according to research that strengthens the case for global action at the cop26 summit in glasgow.. the degree of scientific certainty about the impact of greenhouse gases is now similar to the level of agreement on evolution and plate tectonics, the authors say, based on a survey of nearly 90,000 climate-related studies.
this means there is practically no doubt among experts that burning fossil fuels, such as oil, gas, coal, peat and trees, is heating the planet and causing more extreme weather.. a previous survey in 2013 showed 97% of studies published between 1991 and 2012 supported the idea that human activities are altering earth’s climate.. this has been updated and expanded by the study by cornell university that shows the tiny minority of sceptical voices has diminished to almost nothing as evidence mounts of the link between fossil-fuel burning and climate disruption.. the latest survey of peer-reviewed literature published from 2012 to november 2020 was conducted in two stages.
Wait, I'm confused. Was his first name Dean or was Dean his title and role at the college? Or both?
May 17th sounds like commencement time. Was he the commencement speaker?
BTW, Goucher has a great drama department and has for years put on plays free to surrounding schoolchildren. Everybody likes a free field trip.
what is the probability that a religious organisation is used for money laundering?
for example, large amounts of money are raised by the organization as a donation and then legally introduced into the financial system.
is there any chance that jw.org is used for this kind of purpose?
Wow! I'll have to up my game. I never thought about wearing gloves!
I'm gonna check my mattress for fingerprints right now!

What a relief! And here I've been looking over my shoulder every time I pulled a soggy bill out of the washer that had been left in a pocket!
Next you'll be telling me that I don't need to close the shades and turn off the lights when I cut tags off of mattresses!
since it is my turn (wife) to have the assembly streamed they start with the music.. i have never in 70 years heard it called a "pree-lood".
twice, morning and afternoon..
I grew up in a south central Pennsylvania circuit which included Lancaster County (big Amish country) and there were several Lancaster city congregations (north, south, east, west) that brothers from other areas would butcher the pronunciations when referring to.
They would say LAN-CAST-er, but it is actually pronounced LANKA-stir.
Yes, it was a big rural circuit, but come on people. I didn't live in Lancaster County, but I knew how to pronounce it correctly!

"Try Worcestershire sauce." - Punk
We've got a Worcester County in Maryland. Pronounced "WOOS ter" using the same vowel sound as the words look and book. *It does not rhyme with rooster!
I think the "R" gets dropped though in Worcestershire. So it would be pronounced "WOOSta sher."
(You could also think of the word "wuss" when used as a mild slur. Eg. - "He was such a wuss that he wouldn't even look my way." That's the same sound in my accent - "WUSS ter.")
How'd I do, Punky?

I'm always impressed when people manage to mispronounce "pronunciation" as "proNOUNCiation.'
this stupid little autistic twit is a no talent hack.
she can not dance, sing or even talk well.
the liberal idiots follow this little idiot like she is the oracle of delphi.
Not sure, Dio, but in the US kids leave high school with the accumulated grades from all the classes for their entire high school career. There's no big final exam like GCSEs at the end of high school. Each class you've taken for four years has a final exam and those go on your high school transcript. Depending on the school set up of daily number of classes, students can leave with 28 or so credits/grades for classes. Some high schools have 6 classes a day, some have 7, and some complete their classes in half a year with 4 classes in Fall and 4 classes in Spring for a total of 8 subjects per year. As long as you pass each of those classes, you get the high school diploma.
It's interesting, the different secondary education systems around the world.

And yet, Mick, she managed to get under your skin from halfway around the world.
Nice trick there.
i just heard this story from one of my relatives.
i'm leaving a lot of things out.. a jw couple had three kids and raised them in the religion.
the oldest one got disfellowshipped at 18 years of age because he committed fornication with a jw girl.
I'm not really sure that half truths are much better than lies.
Half truths have the disadvantage of making it look like you're hiding something.
no one can steal your thunder when you are the fucking storm!
It is better to say nothing and have people think you're stupid than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
