Deflection part 2....

That tells me you prefer to deflect and talk about another case.

And I don't think he means Wimbledon, folks! ????

Yes. It certainly appears that this case has failed. Shock horror! Who knew? Don't forget to watch Desperate Overreach (Series 45) again next week.

I don't think it was much of a priority to them. The British weren't expecting to convert the religious followings of entire populations.

Hunter and The Bidens! Good name for a band.

Agree. That would average about 250,000 dollars per victim. Not credible. But I'm sure the G-men enjoyed getting the attention from the press. Not.

Looking at that excellent map in the sub link the strictest places are mostly grouped adjacent and mostly in the same two main regions of the world: https://ilga.org/ilga-world-releases-state-sponsored-homophobia-December-2020-update By that map, I would not factor in British (or any other) colonial influence too much but rather examine the most popular religions in those regions. I suppose just stating the bleedin' obvious is far too politically incorrect and taboo so just blame the British then. Good old Auntie Beeb.

Don't panic, Captain Mainwaring!

The "opinions" of this clod seem to be all rather single-minded. Look at the menu.

You don't seem to be able to differentiate between a question and an objection. There is no need for these Biblical evolutionary references as far as I am concerned. The earth is about 4.6 billion years old, so the geological consensus goes. What has happened since then has been well researched, with the data and earth history theory accepted by most geologists. Anyway, your link: https://news.cornell.edu/stories/2021/10/more-999-studies-agree-humans-caused-climate-change Contains this link: https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/ac2966 - which contains the term "modern climate change", which is much more sensible to use, in this context. Recent temperature increases correlate well with the higher post industrial revolution anthropogenic activity, especially industrial emissions, deforestation and population growth. However, saying that earth systems and their natural processes do not affect climate is just wrong - these processes don't just stop - they just occur at a far slower rate but continue to affect the climate and have produced large-scale extremes of climate, sea-levels and ice cover etc. in the past.

Anyone who credits Credo's first post here is denying major events of earth (climate) history - some of them not so long ago - particularly these lines " Climate Change is not caused by natural events. It's not associated with any natural event, like the sun cycle or volcanic eruptions." But the climate has been changed by natural events before and far more significantly than it is changing now. I think Credo actually means Milankovitch cycles, which refer to the tilt of the earth (nothing to do with the sun) and which have a direct correlation with the arrival of past (and future) ice ages. There is plenty of evidence to show cooling events after large volcanic eruptions, even quite recently (e.g. Pinatubo). I am not a climate change denier, actually the opposite. I acknowledge the phenomenon of global temperature rise since 1850 industrial revolution and I support reduction of emissions in general. I also support reforestation even more. But I don't agree that all this science is settled, far from it.

You do? So you are a climate scientist?

I'll keep you at inane status, thanks.

Required to doubly rebut your inane analogy. Now you can go look up your next word of the day. Make it a good one!

I thought you knew all about that already!

Yes, in some way. But were did you get this 99.9% from? Sounds like a disinfectant ad. Link please?

You obviously are too politically absorbed to have any idea what you are talking about.

No, it's not.

That wasn't on my reading list. No.

I think I'll just stand by what I said. I do not need a lecture, I already attended many on the subject. If you want to talk about warming fine, but that is one only part of climate change.

The earth's climate has been changing continuously throughout its history. Scientific fact.

Only RN? Tsk tsk. Can you get this blood transfusion in Thailand?

So buy it! Until 2022 there was a continuation of the easy money policies in the USA until the Fed finally realized that inflation was not 'transitory'. That's all changed now - interest rates have been jacked up and we now see some banks starting to wobble. Although higher rates normally knock the gold price down, this is not happening due to the onset of investor fear and some flight into gold, which is still the only real insurance money and inflation hedge. China, Russia and several other countries have been accumulating thousands of tons over recent years and this metal is not reentering the market. Demand is already higher than the total supply (from both mining and recycled recovery). Physical gold has been selling at a premium for months as vaults are being depleted. https://www.gold.org/

Sounded like Joe.
