The dramatic threat is part of a measured response by major broadcasters to the disruption Aereo poses with its streaming model and potential partnership with Dish Network (DISH). Also exploring the nuclear option: Fox, Univision. http://seekingalpha.com/currents/post/934741?source=feed#comment-17448921 17448921 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 11:17:24 -0400 "It's fun to be able, for once, to place yourself on the cheerleaders' side of the U.S. markets," writes Richard Russell, advising his readers to buy the DJIA ETF (DIA). "It makes sense to be on the side of the (Fed)." Russell last week: I've never seen anything like this. http://seekingalpha.com/currents/post/882921?source=feed#comment-16181231 16181231 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 12:17:06 -0400 Refiners are hit in reaction to a WSJ story calling attention to the squeeze they face from the rising costs of complying with a federal mandate to use corn ethanol in fuel. An EPA proposal, which could be made final as soon as next month, could force refiners and fuel importers to use more than 14B gallons of ethanol, up from 13.3B in 2012.

The doom-mongering has been going on for decades, but as the Federal Highway Administration explains, bridges can be "structurally deficient" or "functionally obsolete" and still be perfectly safe. http://seekingalpha.com/currents/post/833361?source=feed#comment-15170251 15170251 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 15:30:24 -0500 How Congress Could Fix Its Budget Woes, Permanently http://seekingalpha.com/article/1178631/comments?source=feed#comment-14982321 14982321 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 10:05:28 -0500 President Obama will lay out yet another plan for trying to spark some life back into the economy when he gives his State of the Union address on Tuesday. The program includes investments in infrastructure, manufacturing, clean energy and education. But as with countless proposals in the past, any new spending plans are likely to hit strong opposition from Republicans, who would probably prefer to hear about cuts and deficit reduction. http://seekingalpha.com/currents/post/816861?source=feed#comment-14821431 14821431 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 18:09:19 -0500 Initial Jobless Claims: -5K to 330K vs. 360K consensus, 335K prior (revised).

Dr. Holdren and Dr. Ehrlich wrote in the 1971 essay, “Overpopulation and the Potential for Ecocide”:
“The effects of a new ice age on agriculture and the supportability of large human populations scarcely need elaboration here.”

The Cooling, Lowe Ponte, 1976, “The cooling has already killed thousands of people in poor nations. If it continues and no strong measures are taken to deal with it, the cooling will cause world famine, world chaos, and probably world war, and this could all come about by the year 2000.”

The Weather Conspiracy, Peter Kilroy, Alastair Clark and The Climate Impact Team, Heron Publishing/Ballantine Books (1977). ISBN 0-345-27209-9.

The Weather Machine & The Threat Of Ice, Nigel Calder, BBC Publications, 1974, “Going by past form, the warm periods between ice ages last about 10,000 years and ours has lasted 10,000 years. One might therefore argue that there is a virtual certainty of the next ice age starting some time in the next two thousand years. Then the odds are only about 20 to 1 against it beginning in the next 100 years.”

With that info, you could take a sample of 8 studies done from 1965-78, and correctly state 70% were in support of global cooling; unless you have the total number of studies done, proportions don't mean much, esp. on a sight dedicated to debunking AGW deniers.
Before you call me a right wing denier, answer this-do you think you could accurately find the number of studies today regarding something like fracking and its earthquake causation? What standards do you use? Studies done only by phd's? College students?
