[quote Eugene]There was just an article in NY Times claiming that only one of all Republican Senate candidates believes in man-made global warming (which is, as you, of course, know, the scientific consensus).[/quote]
No it is not the scientific consensus. though that is a discussion for a separate thread. The media and politicians like ‘consensus’.. it makes it easy to decide which way ‘the wind blows’. The scientific process is based upon anything but consensus. The process is not based upon the total number of scientists on any one side.. but based upon the ‘last fact standing’. Even Hansen (NOAA pro-AGW, and one of the most voiciferous) had to agree that not enough is know of the role water plays in the whole cycle and that their models do not properly account for it. The earth’s surface is 60% water!

[quote no_such_reality]For example, why are super efficient small diesels the norm in Europe? The answer is simple, the fuel expense due to taxes is much higher than here and hence the added cost of the diesel technology ‘pencils’. [/quote]
Actually, not so simple as this. Two primary causes:
1) Power – remember those old Volkswagen Diesel Rabbits? I drove one once. A good way to become a flyspeck on the front of a semi when trying to merge into traffic. Newer turbo-diesels are better.
2) California actually bans them for emissions reasons. The only two diesel cars that have managed to pass CA’s diesel emission regs for cars (which are tougher than truck regs). These are the Volkswagen TDI and a Mercedes. You can get some of the other diesel passenger vehicles in other states (and then import them to CA after 1 year – skirting the ban on sales of the new vehicles in CA.).
3) Cost. Vehicles with diesel engines are priced higher than gasoline. Significantly higher.

I surprised a co-worker when I mentioned that Jeep makes a diesel Wrangler..

Sorry, my mistake.. California State Bar.

Suggesting that a client take illegal action can cause an attorney to lose their license in a state.

It is the new entitlement mentality.

You don’t own the home until you finish paying for it. Until then, all you have is roughly a lease-option-to-buy from the bank with a few more legal protections.

Don’t pay a lease and you are out. Don’t pay a mortgage and you are out.

The Earls have been ordered to move out a week from today, but their attorney, Michael Pines, says they may move back in, saying they can legally do that since the judge didn’t issue a permanent injunction.

Unless you consider being put in prison for contempt of court(they were ordered out), B&E, trespass, vandalism, felony theft(amounts greater than 10k).

He’s reportedly helped other Southern California families break back into their old homes, and Pines claims that mortgage securitization calls into question every commercial and residential loan going back decades.

I wonder how much longer this guy will have his ABA license?
