And what about those Pentagon scoundrels who keep identifying climate change as a major threat to world peace in the future.

Man, it’s just funny to watch the skeptics/deniers grasp at the same 2-3 straws over and over again, even after they’re proven wrong.

What would these people do without talking points and fancy language?

Sad but true.

My wife & I were thoroughly impressed with the Old Lahaina last fall – great show, excellent staff, fantastic location, and the food was solid given the number of people.

The appearance of the faux 1% lifestyle. The same applies to only flying first class on only staying suites at hotels. Thought I don’t think this elitism is limited to the bloggers it extends well into the Flyertalk world as well.

What you’re saying has no basis in the facts about climate science in the 1970s and 1980s.

The journal editor was not fired, the data was not destroyed. I’ll leave finding links about those events to the reader. I’m done. I can’t spend time arguing with people who get basic facts wrong.

+1. I agree, do not use affiliate links. That is what is contributing to this whole mess. You can find non affiliate link versions of almost every sign up. For me the exception to the rule is if the best offer is only via an affiliate link. It happens very occasionally. When it does and it is a card you want (think critically about that because the bloggers will make it sound like best thing ever) then get it through the blog you have benefited a lot from and has good blogging practices. FM is the gold standard in my opinion.

And the Earth is how old?

I sometimes wonder if the FT links are affiliate links for someone. Some of the good deals aren’t avail on the card website – like the 100k executive AA card.

NEVER use ANY affiliate links from anyone, for any reason. Using affiliate links only encourages the pimps (and the wannabe pimps). Go directly to the issuer’s website or look on FT.
