get a load of this fuckwit who complains that a study comparing modeled to observed temperatures was published after the interval it models.
if you're comparing anything to observations, you have to wait to get those observations, you brainlet.

>I don't like this model so I'm gonna JAQ off about whether it takes into account water vapor
water vapor in the atmosphere exists in near-equilibrium with the oceans, dickhead. it's strictly controlled by temperature.

>Trump LITERALLY brought thousands of jobs back before he was even president. He also got the stock market almost up to 20,000. How can you honestly say that he can't bring jobs back?
He's gone around taking credit for deals that were already in the works, with nothing to do with him, since well before the election. Wait and see what he actually accomplishes once he's no longer coasting off the work of the Obama administration

>1) Give financial incentives to bring jobs back (i.e. tax deductions and the sort)
this is a solid plan. unfortunately, this was tried in 2012 and Republicans in the Senate blocked it (as discussed >>8620128)
Trump and his party establishment have long histories of fighting against these sorts of reforms. to think that they're suddenly turn around and back them...is wishful thinking at best.
>2)Pass tariffs making it harder to take these benefits and run or take jobs from America and sell the product here
The trouble with tariffs is that if we raise taxes on goods other countries sell us, they're likely to raise their own taxes on goods we sell them. We've been working for decades to reduce tariffs worldwide, which has led to lower costs overall without particularly hurting the American worker. (This is pretty well established, which is why almost everyone with any kind of political experience is in favor of lower tariffs.) Now what we SHOULD raise taxes on is when a company offshores its headquarters but continues to do most of its business here in the U S of A. But that's a complicated story for another board
