You might want to look closer to home when questions about perspicacity arise. In fact, governments have been directly responsible for huge reductions in pollution thanks to laws and regulations. The rise of solar and wind power has also been greatly aided by said governments. If you like, you can ask me to provide evidence. There's plenty of it. But I don't think you really want to know.

That shill for the Republican party, otherwise known as Samuel Alito, cited dubious precedents to show that abortion was regarded as a crime at the time of the creation of the constitution. But it turns out that Thomas Jefferson and Patrick Henry thought differently. https://www.washingtonpost.com/made-by-history/2022/07/19/1792-case-reveals-that-key-founders-saw-abortion-private-matter/

More bad news for musk. He wanted the trial date to be moved to next year. Twitter asked for a trial in September. The judge set the trial for October. Not only that, but contrary to what a lot of Musk's fanboys believed about a prolonged procedure, the trial will only take 5 days.

The thing is, ice ages are known for having sharp rises and falls in temperatures. So comparing climatological phenomena that takes place during ice ages at their most intense to the current situation doesn't shed much light. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/06/170619125822.htm#:~:text=age temperature jumps-,New study reveals carbon dioxide 'tipping point' that triggered,abrupt warming during glacial periods&text=Summary%3A,during the ice age periods.

What do you know about my personal life and what I do? What don't you understand about the fact that we are all anonymous here and our claims can't be objectively verified? Please spare us any more of your virtue-signaling.

As for abrupt climate change...it may well be that there are hidden such instances. But what are the odds that a rise in temperature predicted by climatologists actually came to pass and conformed to such predictions? The predictions of the Japanese scientist who recently received the Nobel for his work have turned out to be astonishingly accurate. As have most of the predictions of the early models created by climatologists.

Well, please share with us some examples of the fear mongering and panic coming from the IPCC's latest reports. As for personal claims about from an anonymous poster about what they are doing to lower their carbon footprint, or requests from anonymours others to prove the same, it is to laugh.

What ought to be embarrassing is comments like yours that clearly reflect an utter ignorance of the science of climatology.

Well, what you've got is a problem with physics dating back almost 200 year when the great Irish physicist John Tindall proved ethe warming capacity of CO2. John Tyndall FRS (/ˈtɪndəl/; 2 August 1820 – 4 December 1893) was a prominent 19th-century Irish physicist. His initial scientific fame arose in the 1850s from his study of diamagnetism. Later he made discoveries in the realms of infrared radiation and the physical properties of air, proving the connection between atmospheric CO2 and what is now known as the greenhouse effect in 1859. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Tyndall As for sea level rise: "Since the early 1990s, satellites carrying radar altimeters have been tracking the changing height of the ocean surface, and show that global mean sea level has risen, on average, by just over 3 mm every year and, worryingly, that this rate of rise has increased in recent years." https://www.esa.int/Applications/Observing_the_Earth/New_satellite_data_techniques_reveal_coastal_sea-level_rise#:~:text=Since the early 1990s%2C satellites,has increased in recent years. Satellites show warming is accelerating sea level rise "Melting ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica are speeding up the already fast pace of sea level rise, new satellite research shows. At the current rate, the world’s oceans on average will be at least 2 feet (61 centimeters) higher by the end of the century compared to today, according to researchers who published in Monday’s Proceedings of the National Academies of Sciences." https://apnews.com/article/north-america-science-us-news-ap-top-news-climate-cf2f9386c024449aae126351d6c67cde

Citing a cartoon as some kind of evidence or argument is just a way of advertising one's ignorance. You've got nothing.

And what relevance do you believe that the level of CO2 in the atmosphere, or methane, for that matter, has to the issue of global warming?

You take no account of humidity. You should look up "wet bulb temperature".

I blame the media and their fake news for weakening the will not just of humans but of British infrastructure as well. Who is so foolish as to believe that rails would be buckling and tarmac be melting if not for the media purveying the lies of environmental alarmists and their alarming alarmism?

Just maybe because he thought what he was doing was worth risking his life for?

Actually, Putin gave the West its lesson on Feb 24. Now it is acting accordingly.

Sure. A mercenary with type 1 diabetes? Really? And to judge from his photo, grossly obese as well. Give it a rest. Your allegation is clearly ridiculous.

And you don't seem to understand the significance of history. Yours is the same kind of thinking that said because Boris Johnson prevailed in the no confidence vote, that his future was looking bright. Even though, whenever in the past this had happened, it ultimately turned out badly for the PM.

As I pointed out, and as you ignored, there is a strong correlation between the 2. And if the issue was solely about local matters, why the huge shift? Did bin collection suddenly become a liability for Torries. Clearly, you've got nothing.

Ya know, the opposition that took a couple of seats from the Conservatives in the latest by-election. And the opposition that proved disastrous for Tories in local elections. Boris Johnson should be very worried about what 2022 local council results mean for the next general election What history shows Historically, there has been a very strong relationship between the number of Conservative councillors elected and the number of Conservative MPs elected to the House of Commons two years later. For the 12 general elections since February 1974, the correlation between the two is very strong (0.84). https://theconversation.com/boris-johnson-should-be-very-worried-about-what-2022-local-council-results-mean-for-the-next-general-election-182788

Why are you being so coy about which segment of society will cease to exist?

14000 miles away? you sure about that?

*Deleted post edited out* James Carafano is an right wing alarmist and conspiracy theorist who works for the Heritage Foundation, an organization that started out on the right and then went to the extreme right. Drillers are sitting on a huge mound of drilling right thanks to the fire sale of such right during the Trump administration. There is, in fact, a huge backlog. And your comments about refineries is bizarre. Are you claiming Biden is responsible for the lack of frefining capability in the US? He's been in office less 18 months. How many refineries got built during the entire Trump administration? As for the shutting down of nuclear plants in Germany, that was the overwhelmingly popular position of the German electorate. Maybe it was a bad idea, but not the product of some cabal. Maybe when renewables such as wind and solar started their prices were high. But now they produce electricity far more cheaply than coal even when coal was cheap. And now their power is far cheaper than that produced by gas. Yes, Germany was very foolish in relying on Russian Gas. As Joe Biden pointed out in 2016: Biden warns Europe against dependency on Russia for heating oil and natural gas US Vice President Joe Biden warned European countries against becoming too dependent on Russian oil and gas, saying it would be "bad" for Europe. Biden was specifically referring to the Nord Stream 2 pipeline which is supposed to deliver natural gas from Russia to Germany via the Baltic Sea. He called it "a fundamentally bad deal for Europe," adding that "Europe needs diverse sources of natural gas, not, in our view, a Nord Stream 2 pipeline." https://www.dw.com/en/biden-warns-europe-against-dependency-on-russia-for-heating-oil-and-natural-gas/a-19503334 And as Obama warned in 2013 Obama tells EU to do more to cut reliance on Russian gas U.S. President Barack Obama told the European Union on Wednesday it cannot rely on the United States alone to reduce its dependency on Russian energy, as relations with Moscow chill over its seizure of Crimea from Ukraine. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-eu-summit-idUSBREA2P0W220140326

But you predicted it wasn't going to happen. You called that a fact. What does the word "fact' mean to you?

The report you cited was not created by the OSCE Ukraine Monitoring Mission. Rather the OSCE published the report of The Foundation for the Study of Democracy headed by a certain Maksim Grigoriev. This is the same Grigoriev who published an expose claiming that it was the White Helmets in Syria responsible for poison gas attacks. Not Russia nor the Syrian govt. It is to laugh. He's a Russian apparatchik. And even if this report were true, it does nothing to refute the fact that Russia interfered with the work of the OCSE by, among other things, restricting its monitoring to 2 border crossings even though the border between Russian and Eastern Ukraine extends for hundreds of miles. Nor would that report contradict the reports of the OSCE re separatist transgressions. And as the article I linked to pointed out, the OCSE left at the end of February 2022 because Russia refused to extend its mandate. Why is that so difficult for you to understand?

Wait till what happens? That the UK will never rejoin the EU? How exactly does a non event happen? How does a country prepare for that? Is there some irreversible switch the UK can throw that will rule out such an eventuality?
