According to a FB group that the algorithm decided I need to know about, this technology has been around for years. Apparently, we need to restore the cladding and golden caps on the pyramids, allow...

I'd like to see a dugong but I'm not sure I fancy having one live in the bath.

Again, a typical alt-right attitude - accuse anyone who cannot be bothered to engage with your frivolous nonsense, of "cancelling" you instead of engaging in "conversation". The problem is that it...

Now you really are dabbling in my world but from a stand-point of ignorance, conjecture and alt-right bullshit by the sound of it. I would say I'd love to hear more about this "strong argument...

I'm afraid you'll have to provide more solid evidence than a skating festival website. Perhaps you can show me the study(s) indicating that the trend isn't actually happening?

When you say debunked, are you meaning the recent update that showed yes, the original graph wasn't accurate but the more robust analysis of the data shows that the trend is still there regardless,...

I was wondering how well sealed the roof of a soft-top is... can't imagine they're designed to shrug off waves!

Missed the point a little maybe?!



My emphasis. No one's saying this hasn't happened before, only that it will become increasingly common as the effects of climate change take hold. If it...

My folks still have a coal fire and back boiler for their hot water (storage heaters in 3 other rooms and that's the lot). It's great when you have the time and can dedicate some effort to lay the...

And whilst I'm passing the page, this one seems appropriate too.

I'm sure this is a bit tongue-in-cheek but that's a bit harsh!!! Besides, they're only coups when someone we like is over-thrown. If someone we don't like is over-thrown, then "the people have risen...

I think Mark's point is that because it's not going well, we should give up and do nothing. It is not possible to change the status quo in any way, shape or form apparently, which of course gives...

Exxon ran a commercial in the US about the benefits of clear cutting to the environment. Apparently, it increases growth by opening up the forest floor to sunlight. Had to get the "growth is (always)...

For the oil industry to have "succumbed to a dangerous new climate denialism" implies that at some point, they actually did agree with climate change's existence in the first place. Maybe I'm cynical...

It's been a weekend of aching middle fingers generally. Empty-suit Sunak started it with his "anti-cars" cobblers. The flaccid sack of gas failed to even elevate his populist rhetoric to Johnson's...

You took the words out of my mouth, but I have work to do and can't be bothered to waste my time trying to discuss anything rationally with a crank, so it will be just a very few points.


...

"cancel"... a classic giveaway! How to tell everyone you're a pillock using one word without actually saying it.

Regarding the rest, yes, it is hypocritical. We're all hypocrites to some degree or...

Sorry to be "that person" but the so-called gas "laws" don't break down at higher pressure - there is a point to this though so don't despair at the pedant yet!!! The ideal gas laws that we use to...

And red cabbage is nicer than green when pickled. But I'm not sure what the relevance of either of these statements is to this discussion.

There's just too much in here for me to spend my time refuting so let's pick a few choice points shall we?



You do realise that that is how models work, right? You don't really believe that...

With all this talk of the raging temperatures, I had a look at Furnace Creek in Death Valley, and despite it being in a desert, getting very little rain and famously high temperatures (and there...

And that right there is the problem.

Firstly, belief has nothing to do with it. This is science, not religion. Secondly, you might use your "pragmatic and practical engineers brain to look at...

It is also an amazing resources for "proof" of flat earth theories and NASA-faked moon landing details. I refer you to what NDY said:





How about genuine peer-reviewed scientific papers and...

The problem is it won't trundle along. It'll pretty much stop. The simplest decisions take years... but the world has moved on and things change so fast nowadays that by the time the CS have reacted,...

From what I can see (as a new Civil Servant just in from the real world), this would probably be a mistake unless you want any kind of change to be slowed to a crawl. It's slow, dysfunctional and...
