From the fact that people are very different it follows that, if we treat them equally, the result must be inequality in their actual position, and that the only way to place them in an equal position would be to treat them differently. Equality before the law and material equality are therefore not only different but are in conflict with each other; and we can achieve either one or the other, but not both at the same time

Hide The Decline -- The Rest of the Story

The previous post from the Minnesotans for Global Warming was a lot of fun. Here now is the truth behind the video. This is the graph that was presented to the scientific community in which the declines in temperature were hidden.


The relevant portion of the graph is from about the years 1850 to 2000. Here we have the famous hockey stick showing a sharp spike in global warming. When all the data is included, however, we get a much different picture.

Note when all the data is included, what we have is a decline in global temperatures (the red lines). I'll let you make up your minds as to whether we ought to reorder the economies of the world based the first or the second charts.
