Never dare to judge Naughty or Nice until you've heard it all...and you'd best believe I've heard it all.

@Doug_Bostrom
It's clear that the authors are discussing net --numerical--effects --limited to-- temperature measurements then making the mistake that they indicate cause and effect when they do not.

It's not the first time a scientist makes that kind of mistake and I'll wager it won't be the last.

At least we can all agree that evap cooling actually works. If it didn't there'd be no such thing as manufactured evap coolers ("swamp coolers"). It would take a meteorologist to know what heating and cooling does to the air mass, and whether or not that air mass is already moving.

Scientists with specialties can be too specialized to see outside their areas of expertise...aka "to a hammer, every problem is a nail".

Details of who held the camera taking which shots can be found here, and the lander was using cameras as well:

@alexbunardzic
First define "shoot".
If you mean who shot the rocket, it was NASA in the USA. If you mean shoot with the camera, it was the moon crewmen.

every so often, i listen to stories from people who've escaped high control groups (like cults): youtube.com/watch?v=b7HdUFFPQM

if you want to understand how so many of these groups work, you have to understand patriarchy.

and if you want to understand patriarchy, you should know what happens in extremely patriarchical systems (such as high control groups). not just ~sort-of know~, but know who says what to whom? who does the beatings? who wants to commit suicide? who runs away and who stays? who benefits and who pays? how are actual people affected within these groups? how does one group accumulate benefit and power, while others "fall lower and lower on the totem pole." because it takes actual people to enact violence and to continue codes of secrecy and obedience. those things don't just happen.

and patriarchical ideas ("father knows best," "always obey father," etc.) are crucial underpinnings in soooo much violence.

Can't wait for the hand-wringing "principled conservative" takes from dicks like Ross Douthat about all the folksy decent Ohio diner Americans who will now feel "alienated by their greatest voice is being silenced," like making fascists mad is a bad thing.

I'm no great orator-statesman guy or political theoretician but if your country's got a bunch of marginally rebranded neo-Nazis in it, shit that makes them mad is actually a really REALLY good thing. It's an actual hard metric of running a country somewhat competently.
