no he doesn't.

the entire extent of his bill, which failed miserably, was to give judges the option of lowering them.

since we all know that the criminal justice system is biased against blacks and lenient towards whites, this would have only increased the disparity in sentencing.
Giving a judge the option of lowering a sentence is the very definition mandatory minimum reduction.

Because that longer sentence is by default not mandatory.

Don't tell me you're that stupid.

Peer reviewed study cited: Ngheim 2007
A new NASA-led study found a 23-percent loss in the extent of the Arctic's thick, year-round sea ice cover during the past two winters. This drastic reduction of perennial winter sea ice is the primary cause of this summer's fastest-ever sea ice retreat on record and subsequent smallest-ever extent of total Arctic coverage.

Stroeve 2008
Abstract
Arctic sea ice declined rapidly to unprecedented low extents in the summer of 2007, raising concern that the Arctic may be on the verge of a fundamental transition toward a seasonal ice cover. Arctic sea ice extent typically attains a seasonal maximum in March and minimum in September. Over the course of the modern satellite record (1979 to present), sea ice extent has declined significantly in all months, with the decline being most pronounced in September. By mid-July 2007, it was clear that a new record low would be set during the summer of 2007.

A graph from 1979 to 2012... 33 WHOLE YEARS!!!! WOW!!! THE WHOLE FUCKING GEOLOGIC RECORD OF THE WORLD!!!
Ooooh... A 7 year map of ice mass..... IN COLOR OOOOOHHHHHHHHH.... This one has pluses and minuses with no correlation or reference to what -1000 is in respect to the whole ice cap. Very scary and convincing. It must be science!!
the point is that you are lying through your teeth.

whether that is due to you being dumber than all shit and not knowing better or just purposely deceiving is the only thing left to discern.

Lying about what?? The timelines are clearly printed on the bottom of the graph. They were in color and they are both misrepresentations of the real situation.

Global Warming nutcases have to have every graph shown in 1/10ths of a degree. If they showed it in degrees the graph would be flat and nobody would pay any attention to them. So, cut the graph short on both ends and break it up into fractions of a degree and the graph looks really scary!!!

Why would anyone concede that when post #144, on this page of this thread contains two peer reviewed studies pointing to alarming and unprecedented melting?
Because we are not taking your sources for gospel simply because they are SCIENCE. You seem to think scientists have absolutely no agenda nor bias.

you seem to think NASA is trying to pull off a conspiracy by measuring arctic ice.

why do you lie so often about it?
