  1. Here's a Jewish swimwear style, not a lot of difference from the burkini
  2. The rule is that they can wear one if they want to, read the OP
  3. If you read my post you will see that I disagree with the persecution of muslim women by their own religion. This however is a simple distinction of allowing women to where a burkini in a swimming pool, the same rights she has to wear her normal clothing while out in public. I cannot see any justification for that discrimination
  4. Did she wear a burkini in France as well?
  5. What is? Allowing them to wear clothing while walking in the streets along with the burkinis while swimming? Sounds more like you'd prefer them not to be around at all, thats a different debate
  6. Its fairly logical to me, they are allowed to wear their clothing outside in public, why discriminate against them by trying to enforce rules when they go swimming? If you're of that mindset then complain about them walking around normally like this and call to ban them. I certainly understand those calling for a ban on full face coverings but this is nowhere near that level. Where I live in Phuket its common to see muslims wear burkinis at the beach or at one of the waterparks/pools. Its also just as common to see Thai's with full sleeve t shirts and long shorts or leggings. Long sleeve rash vests are also becoming very popular with all nationalities including my daughter who wears one to avoid getting sunburnt. Live at let live, if you've a problem with the male muslims and their doctrine against women's rights then I agree but lets not discriminate against them swimming and enjoying themselves
  7. Is it not just an extension of a normal swimming costume with added sleeves and leg covering made out of typical spandex or similar costume material? Killing the chlorine is a nonsense justification for banning them.
  8. Can't wait to see what rants Russian state TV comes out with after seeing this from the UK ???? British troops must 'prepare to fight in Europe again', army chief warns The head of the British army has told his troops they must "prepare to fight in Europe once again" in an effort to defeat Vladimir Putin's forces. General Sir Patrick Sanders, who took over from General Sir Mark Carleton Smith on Monday, warned soldiers about the challenges they faced amid the ongoing war in Ukraine. "There is now a burning imperative to forge an army capable of fighting alongside our allies and defeating Russia in battle," Sir Patrick said.
  9. Spain also feeling the effects. AP News Firefighters in Spain battle blazes amid unusual heat wave Firefighters in Spain on Sunday struggled to contain wildfires in several parts of the country, which is suffering a heat wave unusual for this time of the year. The worst damage has been in the northwest province of Zamora where over 25,000 hectares (61,000 acres) have been consumed, regional authorities said. A lack of rainfall this year combined with gusting winds have produced the conditions for the fires.
  10. 50% of climate change is caused by gases and pollutants other than CO2
  11. Feel free to argue with these https://theconversation.com/40-years-ago-scientists-predicted-climate-change-and-hey-they-were-right-120502 https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/climate-predictions-have-mostly-come-true-jz7x8g2pc https://iowaenvironmentalfocus.org/2021/05/17/climate-change-predictions-from-the-past-are-coming-true/
  12. You don't know, correct, that's why I listen tend to rely and get my information from people who study this and have some knowledge that exceeds those posting on a forum
  13. If you're so interested why not have a stab yourself...........???? As for me, I have no idea, I'm not an expert and go by the charts provided, it is a longterm trend not zooming in on a marco view Source
  14. Won't go there, that will lead us just slightly off topic as I can supply plenty of links that refute that opinion
  15. Extreme Apples & Oranges comparison? I was not making any comparisons to any other post or statistics, it was a stand alone post with the article. I'm not related to it in any way....lol
  16. Please feel free to lead the way, I have a hybrid car, if I could get a full electric powered and the facilities were here I would.
  17. True, and China still has a lot to do with its man made pollution that is affecting the world climate but as demonstrated it can do it if the will is there. It takes a concerted effort from all countries that produce pollution
  18. Great, seems to be differing articles: China’s clean air campaign is bringing down global pollution The country has slashed air pollution in recent years. By Bloomberg News 14 Jun 2022
  19. ?? Are you being serious, you responded to one of my posts on the work China has done, talk about going round in circles, there are 2 links there for you to read, now please show me the "lots of experts that refute it" as you claim China's Clean Air Campaign Is Bringing Down Global Pollution China Reduced Air Pollution in 7 Years as Much as US Did in Three Decades Non paywall source for above link air pollution not only contributes to climate change but is also exacerbated by it
  20. Link? which experts have refuted the claims made in the links I provided? The study on China was carried out by the University of Chicago’s Energy Policy. Institute
  21. Read my links and you'll discover its not my opinion its the opinion of experts unlike me or you
  22. Well without that "PR" world average pollution levels would have increased since 2013 instead of drop
  23. Ditto my previous posts and what China has achieved in the right direction and as with all countries needs to do more.
