The Heartland Institute and it's stable of climate deniers got to try out their schtick in a recent case on behalf of Peabody Coal. They were roundly thumped. https://www.theguardian.com/environment ... e-and-lost If you look at the Hearland "Paper" and the arguments made by Peabody Coal, you'll see that they come straight out of the same playbook. They use fake experts, outdated or refuted papers, misrepresented papers, and non-peer reviewed papers and blog posts. Actual climate experts who know what they are talking about blow them out of the water. Read the links in the article to see how bad the arguments are. Heartland is made up of the 3% fringe scientists who deny that humans are responsible for the current warming. They try to create the illusion that they are more than that.

I really wouldn't mess with any of the Jerseyites on this site, ldsfaqs.

Further, you are mistaken to think that there is not mutual consent even in child molestation or pedophilia, especially concerning those in the teen years. Most teens are already sexually active by the time they are 13-14, thus choices are already being made, an adult getting in the mix wouldn't technically make a difference if there is the same free, no-forced choices occurring. Of course, SOCIETY places a standard of wrong in that, but that's not the same as what people actually do and think. To give an example, when I was in the Marine Corps, during my apostasy period, I had sex with what I presumed to be a 15 year old prostitute. Of course, she claimed to be 18, but I could tell otherwise. Was that wrong, certainly, and certainly by my own standards today, but it was certainly consensual and non-power based or forced. Of course, her pimp was clearly exerting power, cause we took longer then we apparently were supposed to, thus he wanted to make sure he was getting money, but anyway, all a sad thing.
