As I noted previously, two can play the cherry picking game. Kimberley floods: 'the worst flooding Western Australia has ever seen' – video Communities in the Kimberley in Western Australia are reeling from the largest flooding event in the state's history, which has wreaked havoc in the region. The Fitzroy River peaked at 15.81 metres, about 1.8 metres above the previous record. Emergency evacuations continued on Thursday as the Fitzroy's flood peak bore down on tiny Noonkanbah. https://tvpworld.com/65537026/western-australia-struggles-amid-worst-flooding-in-its-history Got it?

Once again, I'm going to show that you got it wrong and let's see if, once again, you're going to ignore my correction. Here is the definition of a hundred year flood: "A 100-year flood is a flood event that has a 1 in 100 chance (1% probability) of being equaled or exceeded in any given year." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/100-year_flood The US Geological Survey also offers an explanation: "Instead of the term "100-year flood" a hydrologist would rather describe this extreme hydrologic event as a flood having a 100-year recurrence interval. What this means is described in detail below, but a short explanation is that, according to historical data about rainfall and stream stage, the probability of Soandso River reaching a stage of 20 feet is once in 100 years. In other words, a flood of that magnitude has a 1 percent chance of happening in any year." https://www.usgs.gov/special-topics/water-science-school/science/100-year-flood Got it?

Well, Jesus did have this to say about holding gold and similar commodities: “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal. https://www.bible.com/bible/314/MAT.6.19-21.TLV I'm taking that as a "NO".

And when Jesus comes, I'll be glad that I have already acknowledged him as my personal savior. Those predictions of collapse of the financial system have been around since the United States effectively abandoned the gold standard in the 30's and utterly abandoned it in the 70's. What kind of shelf life should such predictions enjoy before they are judged to be bogus? Ever?

And this has what to do with the fact that the early the scientific formulations that predicted global warning in the mid 70's continue to be born out? And why should any serious person cite what the media claim about record floods as some sort of disproof of the science? And what is rationally indisputable is that Australia's mean temperature has risen by 1.4 degrees Celsius over the past 110 years. And your link looks like just another attempt at cherry-picking. Or is all of Australia contained in the Brisbane-Ipswich areas What about, say, Western Australia?

Silicon Valley Bank paid bonuses to employees hours before shutdown, government seizure Employees of Silicon Valley Bank got their annual bonuses just hours before the California bank’s shutdown was announced Friday. The shutdown came on the second Friday of March, historically when the company issued yearly bonuses. Sources said the bonuses were for work done in 2022 and had already been in process before the collapse, NBC News reported. https://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/ny-silicon-valley-bank-gives-bonuses-before-shutdown-20230312-mtaxes5chjgyvcagxefra3n6au-story.html

"The majority of the Capitol’s 658 single-pane windows were quietly upgraded during a 2017-19 renovation of the historic building. The original wooden frames and glass were covered with a second metal frame containing bomb-resistant glass. But planners skipped about a dozen ground-floor windows, including some located in doors, because they were deemed to be low risk in the event of implosion, largely due to their discreet or shielded location, or because the building couldn’t structurally handle the load of the heavier frames." https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2021-10-04/jan-6-rioters-exploited-little-known-capitol-weak-spots-a-handful-of-unreinforced-windows

Well, one good thing that will come out of this is that it will undermine support for any loosening of regulations to accommodate crypto.

So far, they show no sign of contrition or a rethink. Palawan fishers report continuing Chinese harassment https://globalnation.inquirer.net/209877/palawan-fishers-report-continuing-chinese-harassment The Philippines accuses a Chinese ship of aiming a laser at a Filipino boat crew https://www.npr.org/2023/02/13/1156475789/the-philippines-accuses-a-chinese-ship-of-aiming-a-laser-at-a-filipino-boat-crew

"Illegitmate" can have many meanings. Clinton did not claim that there was massive voter fraud and had the votes been honestly counted she would have won. Remember that Trump claimed that not only did he win the electoral college, but that he also won the popular vote in that election. So he was crying fraud even in an election he won.

Actually, quite false. Chinese aggressive stance in the South China sea has alienated its neighbors and made them much more receptive to US overtures. And India is alarmed by China's aggression on the Sino Indian border. Your comments are way out of date..

And this has what relevance to climate change theory? The predictions of global warming have stood the test of time. It's the naysayers who have repeatedly been proven wrong.

The latest poll I found on where Republicans stand on the 2020 election was done about 10 months ago: Most Republicans still falsely believe Trump’s stolen election claims. Here are some reasons why. In poll after poll, about 70% of Republicans say they don’t think Joe Biden is the legitimate winner of the 2020 election. https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2022/70-percent-republicans-falsely-believe-stolen-election-trump/

So much for the science of geology. Oh and astrophysics too. And evolutionary theory. And if it were simply a matter of the temperature increasing., ou might have half a point. But in fact the rising temperature has accelerated in conjunction with the accelerated increase in the percentage of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. As predicted.

At this point we have over 40 years of proof subsequent to the Nobel prize winning Japanese scientist who first quantified the rate of increase of global average temperatures. The quickening of global warming correlates with the increased percentage of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Please share with us any evidence of a comparable rate of global warming that occurred over the past hundred thousand years.

Is fear of the revival of dangerous viruses unfounded? From the article you linked to: "The researchers suggest their findings hint at a much bigger problem—as the planet warms and the permafrost melts, there is a chance of viruses emerging that are capable of infecting humans. Such a threat is not science fiction, they note—prior researchers found influenza viruses in a lung sample of a woman who had died in Alaska during the flu pandemic of 1918. And another team found a virus related to smallpox in a mummified woman found in Siberia—she had been there for 300 years." https://phys.org/news/2023-03-ancient-dormant-viruses-permafrost-revived.html

What exactly in Carlson's version contradicts what the investigation committee reported?

A better question is Why would anyone bother making your kind of post?.

Simplest explanations are the best. The more economically developed a nation is, the slower its growth rate tends to be. Playing catch-up means a developing country is going to have an edge when it comes to growth rates.

Maybe all polling should be done via the comments section of The Telegraph?

I agree. Tell that to the Russia which has repeatedly been found guilty of doping on a massive scale.

Putin's own words belie your claim. He spoke of restoring the Russian Empire as it was under Peter the Great.

And again, you choose to believe that greening is occurring based on scientific data but you deny the validity of the scientific data that supports the fact of sustained global warming and the harms it causes.

Someone else who doesn't understand the difference between climate and weather.

I'm sure you will have no trouble providing evidence to explain why, since the mid 70's the basic models have been so accurate in predicting global warming. I await your information with interest.
