Social scientist, not a climate scientist. He was unemployed when he started the misinformation website. He was caught out misrepresenting reports and nobody respects him. Basically a fraudster.
Once again you have provided no evidence. Just empty claims.

Really?
John Cook is a Senior Research Fellow at the Melbourne Centre for Behaviour Change at the University of Melbourne. He is also affiliated with the Center for Climate Change Communication as adjunct faculty. In 2007, he founded Skeptical Science, a website which won the 2011 Australian Museum Eureka Prize for the Advancement of Climate Change Knowledge and 2016 Friend of the Planet Award from the National Center for Science Education. John co-authored the college textbooks Climate Change: Examining the Facts with Weber State University professor Daniel Bedford. He was also a coauthor of the textbook Climate Change Science: A Modern Synthesis and the book Climate Change Denial: Heads in the Sand. In 2013, he published a paper analysing the scientific consensus on climate change that has been highlighted by President Obama and UK Prime Minister David Cameron. In 2015, he developed a Massive Open Online Course at the University of Queensland on climate science denial, that has received over 25,000 enrollments.

Got some evidence that he's a known alarmist. Got any evidence to show that he was exposed as a fraud?

The graph is based on satellite data and it is not my graph posting. Secondly there are no 100% correct scientists. You aren't even a scientist and you have made incorrect statements today alone. Don't throw stones when you barely know the science.
The beach was great today. Beautiful weather.
Again with the personal comments. Whether or not I am a scientist is utterly irrelevant to the issues at hand. What matters is the sources I cite. Yours are mainly denialists or organizations who get their funding from oil interests.. As for "there are no 100% correct scientists".. maybe so, but some are a lot more wrong than others. I provided links to show just how wrong Spencer is. You have provided nothing to challenge this. Spencer is someone who claims there is a conspiracy to keep him from publishing in journals.

Only history
ancient history
Battery costs have dropped by more than 90 per cent in the last 15 years, a new report from the International Energy Agency (IEA) reveals.
It’s one of the fastest declines ever seen among clean energy technologies, and provides hope that batteries can carry the world to its renewable energy goals.
It’s cheaper to build new solar than it is to operate coal plants
New analysis released by Lazard compares the levelized cost of energy for various generation technologies on a $/MWh basis and shows that renewables, specifically utility-scale solar and wind, are the economic frontrunner
And that analysis is 3 years old. Prices of photovoltaics has since plummeted. You're living in the past.

No. Talking winning the next election without having released a manifesto.
To think PMQs is "unmissable" is sad.
Wow. And so a new religion is born. What is being worshipped is the Magic Manifesto without which an election is unwinnable even against a political party that is now thoroughly and widely detested.

It looks like a drunk guy picked the low and high with scribbles. The correct ways to do this is low to low or high to high or midpoint to midpoint. You didn't do any of those things because you have an agenda to push. You are a time waster. Learn how science works or don't bother.
Actually, this graph was created by Dr. Roy Spencer, the denialist scientist you quoted above. He and his collaborator, John Christie have a history of being wrong in their hypotheses, measurements and predictions. Spencer actually claims that there is a conspiracy to suppress his work

Pre sex ed would be the ‘50s….
What percentage of children grew up in two parent homes in 1960 vs today?
Even before Dobbs, states run by right wingers had managed to make it harder to get abortions. Despite which, teenage birth rates declined.

Who will end up not being able to afford air conditioning or be able to drive?
I can buy a new EV when it’s mandated, the working poor? Not so much.
I see you have no answer for the deleterious effect that pollution has on the poor. Ya think being ill is good for their incomes?
And on what actual facts do you lay your claim that renewables will make A/C unaffordable?
Finally, right now there are EVs in China selling for about $5000. The West is terrified that cheap EVs will put paid to their automobile industry.

It has been 2 1/2 years since this bill was signed into law. Any idea how much has been spent since then? And why isn’t Biden pushing this as one of his achievements on his campaign trail?
Probably saving his powder for the election. People don't pay much attention to the issues until after the conventions.

Wrong.
Teen births in US fall to record low, as overall total drops by 2%: CDC
The number of births have been declining since the mid-2010s, the report found.
The overall number of births in the United States dropped in 2023 as teenage births reached a record low, according to new provisional federal data published early Thursday.

Maybe that's why he did it, to get himself in the news, and ya all fell for it.
Because nothing makes a politician look so good as being ignorant of the contents of a bill he pushed for. A masterstroke by Johnson!

So, 4 years into his presidency, he finally managed to get a bill for a measly $8 billion passed. And there were still 30 senators who opposed it. It still has to be approved by Congress?
This is one of the downsides of a democratic political system. It’s not about what’s good for the country and its citizens but what’s good for the politicians.
The 8 billion targeted for water infrastructure, was only a small portion of the bill.
President Biden signed a $1 trillion infrastructure bill into law Monday, enacting a key piece of his domestic spending agenda that will funnel billions to states and local governments to upgrade outdated roads, bridges, transit systems and more.
The event — which the White House said was in front of some 800 guests, including members of Congress, governors and state and local officials from both sides of the aisle, as well as labor and business leaders — saw the president deliver on two key campaign promises: his vow to broker legislation that could get support from both Republicans and Democrats; and his pledge to get major legislation to provide badly needed money for public works projects that his predecessors from both parties tried repeatedly to move, but failed to deliver.

It's looking very likely Labour will win the election but, by will they have a majority?
The local council losses by the Conservative party were shared across a few parties.
If labour win and manage to achieve everything they say they can, we'll all be thousands of pounds better off. Universities will be free, nurses will be earning 40k a year, minimum wage will be £15 an hour, NHS waiting times will be minutes and there will be no asylum seekers left as all applications will have been processed, to name a few scenarios. It's all a bit unlikely.
If Labour win and fail to achieve all they say, when they announce they'll have to raise taxes or cut public spending, when they realise they need to make a few more Uturns, voters will realise it was more the situations getting worse by outside pressures rather than government making them worse.
Then, hopefully, someone will have the balls to admit taxes collected are not enough, across the board, and will raise them. Also reform the benefits system. Simple economics. There is more going out than coming in.
The burning question is how long, after Labour win, will it be until the current bunch of naysayers stop saying "It's not Labour's fault they can't do this, or can't do that"?
I think just restoring the NHS will be quite enough to earn voters' gratitude after the Tories turned it into a shambles. And given that the British public is no longer buying the Conservative line about the benefits of Brexit, we might expect to see an improvement in relations with the EU.

I was making the point that he did turn up with some I.D , but the I.D that he had wasn't accepted , so he needed different I.D which was accepted .
Sure. That's what made the story newsworthy. That eventually he turned up with an acceptable I.D.

What with their anti semitic views and friendship with Hamas.
Right. Labour's support for Israel, which cost them support among British Muslims, means that they are friends with Hamas.

Solo mothers – those who are raising at least one child with no spouse or partner in the home – no longer dominate the ranks of unmarried parents as they once did. In 1968, 88% of unmarried parents fell into this category. By 1997 that share had dropped to 68%, and in 2017 the share of unmarried parents who were solo mothers declined to 53%. These declines in solo mothers have been entirely offset by increases in cohabitating parents: Now 35% of all unmarried parents are living with a partner.2 Meanwhile, the share of unmarried parents who are solo fathers has held steady at 12%.
