I never said scientists predicted cooling. There was talk of it that I remember. In the 60s a teacher told us that all the oil would run out in 20 years. People get stuff wrong all the time, and having a degree in science doesn't make them infallible. I've known stupid people that call themselves scientists.

Would you cover for your grandson?
thaibeachlovers replied to georgegeorgia's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I am happy to not have had any kids because they cost a lot of money and I don't need the government telling me how to bring them up. I've never accepted the usual dictat that kids are special. I was never treated as special when I was one, and would not treat any that I was in charge of as special. -

My father was a terrible parent, and I probably was saved by being sent away to boarding school for most of my school years. We do as was done to us. I would have been a terrible parent in my 20s to 50s. Having learned a lot of life lessons by then, I would have been a really good parent in my 60s had I had one or two, but by then I had zero interest in being a parent. -
I laughed like a drain when I saw that. Yet another talk talk fest in an exotic location to which hundreds of officials will FLY, when they could do it by VDO conferencing- hypocrites all. Then to hold it in Dubai which exists as it is today because of oil is taking the mickey. Anyone reckon the UAE will be announcing that they will be stopping pumping oil this year?

IMO that is 100% BS. I haven't seen much activity by governments at all. I don't count the IMO fraudulant carbon credit get rich scheme as "activity". They could have used the covid lockdowns to build railways to replace domestic flights and did nothing. In fact they have welcomed the return of flights. They could be building nuclear power plants and have not done so. More like getting rid of the few that exist ( I'm not including France in that as they have a large nuclear power infrastructure, but have had it for many years ). All smoke and mirrors, IMO.

Back in the 80s, as I remember it, they were saying the planet was going to get colder, not hotter. As for MMCC, a very interesting movie came out some years ago ( The great global warming swindle ) and I prefer to believe it's viewpoint over the MMCC theory. How do you see the word "fraud" and come up with "conspiracy"? IMO it's not a conspiracy, but rather rich people using a naturally occurring climate change to get even richer. It's almost always about money when things are going wrong, as IMO they relish disasters, which make them more wealthy. BTW, oil companies do whatever makes a profit, which does not necessarily involve conspiracies.

You obviously haven't actually read any of my posts as I never said that global temperatures are not increasing- you are making that up, again. MMCC is IMO a fraud believed by millions. Humans are susceptible to frauds as proven by their lemming like behaviour. The global financial crisis was a fraud by the financial community, IMO, and affected many millions of us, but would not have happened if people had had any sense. If something is too good to be true it likely isn't. Does Bernie Madoff ring any bells. Countless such frauds throughout history.

What has a comic to do with what I said? Doesn't matter whether climate change is natural or not. It is happening and we had better prepare for it or join the dinosaurs in history. Personally, I think Gaia is using it to destroy humanity for abusing the planet, but I'll hopefully be long gone before the real destruction begins. Whatever the truth, does humanity deserve to survive given how bad a species we are?

Let's be in no doubt that had Trump done that, the outrage from those covering for Biden now would be excoriating him. -
Court decriminalises abortion across Mexico
thaibeachlovers replied to Social Media's topic in World News
US women already had the option of traveling to a state that does allow abortions. Anyway, good on Mexico. IMO abortion should be available on a walk in, no questions asked basis for any female of any age. Lets reduce the world's population by any means possible. Way too many of us polluting the planet already. -
I saw that on Al Jazeera. He wasn't convicted because he refused to testify, but because he ignored the summons to go before the committee. He could have refused to answer their questions, and not be convicted, but he should have turned up. Apparently he made a mistake and will pay for that. When Trump wins he'll surely be pardoned. Anyway, he's probably going to appeal it up to the supreme court, so may not spend any time in jail.

LOL. Anyone standing on a hill and looking at the ocean horizon can see it's curved. No need for science to tell us that. Pity they didn't work out that the earth revolves around the sun though, and not visa versa. I guess their science just wasn't that good then. https://byjus.com/question-answer/which-scientist-proved-earth-rotating-around-sun/ There was a well-known debate in the history of Astronomy which was going on for a long time in the 15th, 16th and 17th century. Three centuries is what it took to be resolved, so you can imagine just how profound it was.

So what? The point of the MMCC scenario is apparently to monetise climate, so while temperatures are rising, it's not sufficient to just accept that and do something to prepare for change- no, it's time to invent a whole new passle of ways to get rich off of it. Conferences in exotic locations at taxpayer expense and carbon credits .

Actually, having thought about it, I liked the skytrain as had decent totty to look at. Bkk girls are definitely prettier than most elsewhere other than Chiang Mai malls. Not to say that they are hanging out waiting for some passing farang to shag. Look but don't touch as one famous character opined.

Anyone doesn't know the difference when sitting right next to them must be too drunk. IMO anyone having a feel of a ladyboy before paying a bar fine would have a knee to their goolies, and fully deserved. Bar staff are not a petting zoo. The attitude of some posters towards other human beings on here is abysmal.
