we`re are talking about the observable universe though.

being smart doesn`t suit you -

i suggest you pop over to the "when we die" thread to discuss other "realities"

Snap-on spanners? thumbs up from me ?

cue my signature sign off quip-

for someone with the username @Lob-on Johnson - your posts sure are flaccid - ho ho ho

What year did you stop getting invited to Christmas Dinner with the family?

tough one that but we got legal advice which is always a good thing nowadays because you don`t want to end up in the slammer for drinking 2 cans of fizzy pops in one day.

anyway.....

the maximum of 5 people for Christmas what Boris Johnson said was obviously a problem - we got round that by getting a 75m dining table so everyone could stay 2m apart.

i wouldn`t wear 6 face-masks, i thought 2 were quite sufficient so you can imagine the scenario - anyway, my Auntie rang the police to ask them what we should do about it and the Cop said "you are policed and governed by consent" whatever that means!

...anyway to cut a long story short i had a loverly Turkey Crimbo dinner with all the trimmings. true story.

Another true story is you being known as Uncle Knobhead.
 
I think when people are as far down the rabbit hole as oddball you need to leave them to find their bottom, much like an addict until they hit that bottom they can't be turned around.

In the meantime simply don't give him any energy, don't respond, don't engage. You can't debate climate science with someone too stupid to understand the carbon cycle or the implications of the keeling curve, and you can't educate someone so deluded he thinks he knows more than Carl sagan did, simply leave him be to find his own path.

You also can't educate through shame, you'll just get push back and they become more entrenched. You have to be patient and hope they can see that right wingers with no editorial process making millions from them has its own explanation.
 
trees lock up carbon as far as i know and much more could/should be planted.

i don`t see much push-back/media frenzy against the murder of activists in the rainforests trying to stop logging which seems strange compared to the hype Greta Thunberg received. why would this be so? your thoughts?

the ice-caps are fine, always have been.

the 13,26,52 thousand year cycles come and go. we`re the nearest to the Sun we will ever be on these trajectories and are heading away into a proper ice-age in approx 13 thousand yrs.

there were reports recently of heaviest snow or ice build-up in Antarctica - i wouldn`t expect the media to report on this though.

"Global warming" is actually global cooling.

btw. i like the "Wombles" analogy - thanks. they cared about their environment, cleared rubbish etc. good choice of a Freudian slip ?
I agree. I embrace global warming and am looking at living on top of a hill and getting a row boat rather than a car.

The money I will long term save on clothing material given I'll spend all my time in shorts and a vest due to the warmth will far outstrip the lowland devastation and loss of biodiversity the planet will suffer.

I see myself as Tom Hanks in that movie with a basketball friend. How we'll hoot with laughter at Greta and her green lunatic friends.

UTFGW!

Annoyingly, we all know this yet continue to feed his habit.

I am stepping away, it is too easy any how.
