Current Affairs Climate Change Demonstrations.....

[Amw79]

I would point out that you are only having this conversation because I started it, as no one else was even bothered......

You started the thread as you wanted to make a snide comment about them wanting the day off school/work, not through some altruistic, philanthropic principle.

Does anyone know what they want, apart from the day off school or work of course......

I asked a perfectly reasonable question......

Disingenuous in the extreme.

A bit frosty in this thread this morning









So that disproves global warming

Disingenuous in the extreme.

This is why you fail to understand things that are posted. You have a presumption of certain posters without once looking objectively or from another viewpoint.....

yep we are entering a bit of an ice age.......

 

[zzr45]

Correct. This claim about the 1970’s ice age predictions has been challenged and shown to be incorrect by Peterson in 2008, who found that while there were some claims about a possible ice age, more peer reviewed papers in the 1970s predicted warming.

That's not exactly how it works though. There's been one paper published linking MMR jabs to autism which spawned the whole anti-vax movement. All it takes is one paper to get into the public's consciousness to alter the way of thinking. There can be 100,000 articles saying the opposite, but if they don't get the same leverage they may as well have not been written.

Your OP was a disingenuous question, followed up by a snide comment about them wanting a day off.

You’re more interested in winning an internet argument than anything else.

good luck to ya.

 

[orchard]

Pete’s right though - it was espoused at the time there’d be another ice age. It’s the same argument my mam uses during any discussion about climate change.

Pete's yer mar! That clears a few things up...

You therefore have a fundamental lack of knowledge of what you are talking about.

Firstly, Tommy's isn't a trauma hospital so won't be accepting any super urgent cases.

Secondly, it's based south of the river, so will have a tiny amount of 'business' coming from an area where very few people live.

Thirdly, protests, demonstrations, London Marathons and other such disruptions are commonplace on Parliament Square so the dispatchers (who are based further south on Waterloo Road incidentally) are familiar with navigating such circumstances.

Fourthly, ambulances and other emergency services are getting through. They never cross the bridge quickly, which if you knew the area you'd understand why.

Now you could have thought, "I don't live there, have no personal knowledge to counter what the ambulance service themselves say, I'll keep schtum to avoid looking silly..." but apparently you quite fancied it today.

Did you type that all by yourself?
