General Discussion
@Steve , I don't disagree with much of what you've written, people are poorer because of austerity, there's no 'may be' about it. I don't think you do understand natural phenomena antmore than you understand climate science or scientic enquiry in general. It is a discussion and debate page, but seeing as you don't answer or side-step many of my questions it';s just going around in circles. I ...
I have a sense of humour, I just don't see why it has to be a hoax. Understanding of natural phenomena changes all the time. People may be poorer because of austerity, but it doesn't mean they can't get even poorer. Government schemes tend to have that side-effect. It does say discuss and debate on the home page. Happy to end the chat here too. Hopefully I've provided a less gloomy ...
@Steve , you either lack a sense of humour, cannot follow a thread or are just prone to misunderstanding. Or you just twist it to your supposed benefit to save face or avoid actual discussion. I'm not saying the moon landings were staged. I'm referring to it to highlight your lack of trust in anything climate change related that attributes it to human activity. I asked if you thought indigenous ...
Moon landings? You seem to be grasping at straws. I've only stated obvious facts. Nothing I’ve said is a belief. Anyone genuinely concerned about the climate would be relieved that the climate catastrophes predicted every decade since the 70s were all wrong. It's only bad news for those hoping to use the climate hysteria to further their ideological causes. People are going to be even poorer ...
Huge demand for cash last week when everything crashed. Alot of cash machines around the country are still being emptied as soon as they are filled. On Sunday I found a machine that was just dispensing only £5 notes , with a long Q. The whole episode was a major warning to those that think a cashless society is the way forwards. If the bank cards go down and apps go down you are up a creek ...
It's your belief, it's factual to say that the climate has changed throughout history, but that's not what we're discussing. Anthropogenic climate change, means human caused; why is that so abstract for some people or are they just in denial? Humans have had other effects that have impacted the planet from plastics in every square km of the oceans to mass deforestation and pollution, all of which ...
Well it's not a belief, it's a scientific fact that the climate was changing long before humans ever existed on the planet. What is a belief is that humans are now responsible for weather events and the government is able to fix this if we all pay more taxes. I never said all academics were on the left. I mentioned celebrities since they often tend to display that same arrogance as leftist ...
Yesterday i spent the day at the Royal Mint well worth a visit i may add, one of the interesting things was that prior to Covid the Mint was working 24/7 producing coins ,today they work 4.5 days per week 12 hours per day the reason there is no demand for cash.
@Steve Well that's your belief, and that's all it is a belief. Considering the majority or governments, businesses and the public around the globe accept the science on anthropogenic climate change, I'd suggest you arre in the minority. Either way if you feel so strongly, why don't you do something about it? Most economists don't understand that environmental sustainability is not possible ...
I don't believe I'm in the minority. I don’t know anything about the global scientific community on anthropogenic climate change except that scientific communities are made up of fallible people with political biases. Most people in academia are on the left of politics because, like celebrities, they don't understand economics. Some scientists even lie believe it or not. ...
