Is that why you’re struggling to follow it?

Maybe you could understand it in a few years then.

You'll make it out of pampers one day...

Congratulations you have now graduated from the Brian Conley school of comedy.

 

[Oddball]

sorry are you asking what is reality now?

I thought that would be obvious - go out of your basement and open a window

I asked- what have you observed?

Do you ever tire of getting shown up?

It must be quite draining.

I asked- what have you observed?

that the fossil fuel industry is massively wealthy, causes huge social and economic problems across the world and demonstrably causes pollution that causes negative health effects? that the wealth corrupts politics, media and everyday life?

that when we had a lockdown in London for several months that the pollution outside my house dropped significantly?

that the average yearly temperature in the UK is going up?

that it snows less now than it did in my youth?

that we as a people are infested with idiots such as yourself who bravely repeat the mantras of those responsible for this?

Doubt it. He just takes a hit of pcp with his child and he's good to go

I`m refuting the whole cult of alarmism surrounding the topic of "climate warming", that includes the phony "science" too.
It`s all there if you`re willing to look for it but if you`ve already bought into the hard-sell that`s being thrown at us daily then good look, you`re going to need it.

So you are refuting that fossil fuels are derived from carbon?

What do you think they are made from?

Remember lads, those scientists may have their phds and years of research, but they've never smashed angel dust with their kids, gone on a 24 hour bender and got arrested. #UniversityOfLife

It's quite the skill, ordinarily someone would have to try a lot to cough up such nonsense, but not odders, hell no, double triple quadruple down on the stupidity and just keep going. Covid is cured by bleach to the veins, mexico is gonna pay, the election was robbed, wheres Pelosi etc... It's the entitlement, you will all dance to my beat or I'll lose my temper. Where did so many adult toddlers come from, how did this happen? odders is a symptom, were there always such types and it's only now with the internet and social media that they can reach new audiences? or is the isolation and ever increasing world-bad-news the fulcrum which pushes so many over the edge, where believing something - anything - is better than thinking for yourself...

Shambles!

Someone seems to think research grants are paid directly to the researchers.

Nuh uh.

Yeah. So not how it works.

Dr. Christy is listed as a "Roundtable Speaker" for the George C. Marshall Institute, a right-wing conservative think tank on scientific issues and public policy.

The George C. Marshall Institute (GMI) was a nonprofit conservative think tank in the United States. It was established in 1984 with a focus on science and public policy issues and had an initial focus in defense policy. Starting in the late 1980s, the institute advocated for views in line with environmental skepticism, most notably climate change denial. The think tank received extensive financial support from the fossil fuel industry.


I wonder why he would be so keen to debunk climate change, lets rewind that again.

The think tank received extensive financial support from the fossil fuel industry.

And once again for these who missed it.

The think tank received extensive financial support from the fossil fuel industry.

They were also funded by the Tobacco industry to try and argue about the damages of smoking and second hand smoking.

Scientists "towing the line" on climate change are doing so because they need to retain their research funding through traditional academia.

Scientists "speaking the truth" about climate change are doing so and presumably getting no funding from traditional academia.

I wonder what is more profitable: scientific research using an allocated budget which is peer reviewed by the scientific community or producing YouTube videos/podcasts aimed at 'debunking' the science that the majority of the scientific community generate?

ReLolling at this lad getting out of his nut on PCP with his child. Suddenly, the way he posts makes sense

Woops, Hertfordshire shown us taste of the future with Police crime bill.

And excellent even "Gammon Captain" Nick Ferrari on LBC is waking up to the idea of his free speech and freedoms are now being curtailed.

His show this morning now one of his collogues is at the wrong end of the narrative reminded of this poem.

"First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me".

Martin Niemoller.

It's not police and right wing governments stopping free speech though, it's students who don't want to watch a 60 year old stand up, Elon musk said so

Really do have an image of a wizened catweaselesque figure stood atop a hill, blasted on PCP, shouting "YOU BETTER NOT BE FREAKING EMPTY" at planes taking off and landing from John Lennon Airport.
