Ever notice how any time new restrictions are announced, we are always told one member of cabinet has tested positive? It’s been a pattern throughout. Eamon pulled the short straw for Christmas.

No, most people don’t notice – or think its mere coincidence. Pattern recognition appears to be extremely rare.

Apparently Joe Manchin has just completely fecked up any chance of the US passing siginificant climate action legislation.
…oh no…if the Yanks can’t save the planet then there’s no hope it can be left to Putin or Xi…

When your only prospect for any large-scale action on an impending global catastrophe is just one power, the EU, such as it is, then oh no indeed.

…great bunch of lads that G7…I’m sure they’ll get round to climate change when they’ve sorted out Ukraine…have they considered regime change in Greenland?

Well, there was this pretty good bill that might have done a lot of good in the US, and created momentum for more, but Joe Manchin blocked it, like I said.
Yea – that’s right. I believe he will make a deal eventually though. Pork barrel stuff

Seen it before. Bad science reporting is not the same thing as science, and stuff that turns out to be wrong is, by its nature, wrong. The ozone hole and acid rain are literally warnings that were acted on, and that’s why they warnings didn’t come true, which is actually the same outcome that woould be preferable with climate change. In case you haven’t noticed, the worse predictions of climate change are coming true, not because the scientists want to win a bet or an online argument, but because they’re being ignored.
Mise
What are these worst predictions that are now coming true
Nigel
Wildfires, floods, heatwaves, droughts, famines, biodiversity loss, sea-level rise, all increasing in occurence and intensity, same with hurricanes and tornadoes, increasing desertification, ocean acidification, all bulding and building and building. Why is it that people who deny climate change also seem to think proclaiming ignorance about it makes them credible?
But they tell is they can tax and fine us out of climate change , I’ll say it again steaming pile of các buì
Nigel
Oh dear. These are VERY familiar.
The loss of Antarctic ice is not uniform, but it is losing ice, massively, overall.
There’s a limit to the amount of increased growth from increased carbon in the atmosphere, and it actualy has a bad effect on himan intelligence. Also, that isn’t even an argument that climate change isn’t occurring, and doesn’t account for the effect of shifting climate on plant-life like, y’know, crops.
‘Less fires today than centuries ago’ you are aware that ‘centuries ago’ there used to be massive forests AND massive praires covering most of the planet, that what is there today is miniscule by comparison, and when they burned, they burned uninterrupted, right? So the sheer volume and scale of fires over the period of their existence was quite substantial.
John Hindraker – there’s a name I haven’t heard since he was boosting the second Iraq War. What an environmental disaster that was. I’d cast your net wider when it comes to assessing the advantages and disadvantages of solar power, which is, of course, only one form of renewable, if you really want an honest discourse.

‘Antarctica shed an average of 149 billion metric tons of ice per year, adding to global sea level rise….
Areas in East Antarctica experienced modest amounts of mass gain due to increased snow accumulation. However, this gain is more than offset by significant ice mass loss on the West Antarctic Ice Sheet’
I’m finding it more and more difficult to take your claim that you had swallowed the whole we are killing the planet thing for many years but then you scratched the surface seriously, and to be honest I never took it all that seriously in the first place.
