But Massie, who was doing the questioning has both a BS and MS from (get this!) MIT. The funny thing is it appears that his education was lost on him. (Actually I think he was trying to score cheap political points and got caught at least by the Twitterverse...)
You shouldn't generalize from the individual to the group, but lets just say I am not even a little surprised. I have a number of really funny true stories about some MIT undergrads from my grad school days. Dumbest smart guy themed.

No group generalization intended. This particular individual owns all of his statements - he apparently did not learn enough from the very fine institution he attended.

I did the generalizing, not you. Its wrong, but sometimes in life your (my) experience is such you just can't avoid it.

Speaking of DOLTS that environmental mental midget extremist strikes again...https://www.foxnews.com/politics/bill-d ... kyscrapers I bet this idea will go over like a fart in church with the ironworkers and glazers unions. Maybe 72 can go to their next big union meeting and sooth all their ruffled feathers and explain to them all how they are destroying the planet. :D

So long as you have the strawberries to explain your logic to the ironworkers. I bet you wind up with a red hot rivet stuck up your ass. :lol: NYC may not need more skyscrapers but our country likewise does not need any more dumbass PhDs. Maybe there is a tradeoff to be made somewhere... ;) Do you really think this brain damaged idea of Mayor numbnuts will make it past all of the union folks that run NYC... not a chance in hell. These Union folks run NYC... this brain fart of Mayor numbnuts will never happen. he could wind up closer to Jimmy Hoffa in the afterlife than he might ever know.

The irony will come when thousands of loyal democrat ironworkers, glazers, electricians, carpenters, masons can't find work anymore. Can anybody out there tell me how you can build skyscrapers without steel and glass? This only proves that mayor numbnuts is even dumber than he has led us all to believe. I was hoping that maybe just one of the FLP wankers out here would make that observation. Guess I was wrong. How do you build a skyscraper without windows? I suppose you can use paper mache to form the I beams but sooner or later your probably going to need windows. :D

India is poor (er) ? What the heck are we doing selling them killing machines then? With credit , no less.

But, of course, this gem from the article:

The report doesn't describe exactly how rising temperatures have depressed economic growth


No. Of course it doesn't. INcome inequality blamed on climate, or warming. :lol: BTW, what climate are we changing too? SHould I move the plants outside, into the raised beds. Today? What do you pretends think? How about in Frederick County, MD? Should the feminized seedlings be planted outside. Today? The Amish planting corn today? How about the fields outside of Portsmouth, NH?

Help the farmers out. ......when should they plant? Since there is a change in the climate. :roll:

Warmer? That's rich. Not a 70 degree, or higher, day predicted in my...or in your....neck of the woods for the next two weeks. Sunday nite....in the 30's.

Does the USDA employ "scientists", or are the LACK of change in grow zones mostly ignored by the believers?

White Widow seeds, at $20 bucks a whack......you can't just throw them outside now. Can you?

This might help
