Scientist interested in science. Used to enjoy building really great models, admiring them for a while and then blowing them up. Still do actually.

'Mr Trump is a Bad Man. So its perfectly OK to lie about his speeches'
'But how do you know he's a bad man?'
'Just listen to his speeches!'
A self-serving, circular, worthless argument.

If the icecaps are melting then why is earth continuing to spin faster?
Why the same time is its magnetic field weakening?
Why do oceans often get warmer at depth?
How can energy leading to prolonged seismic/volcanic activity in W/NW Pacific NOT warm the oceans?

The #TippingPoint #climate science needs to focus on is that connected with a planet which continues to spin faster whilst its magnetic field continues to weaken at the same time as icecaps melt.
If the models can't explain these paradoxes they should be scrapped (as all models regularly should).

Cats in the US provide a small net benefit to bird populations as they also control numbers of common predators like mice, rats and squirrels.
Rat poison is also a big killer of raptors - use cats instead.

Lab-grown meat is the future for pet food – and that’s a huge opportunity for Britain | Lucy McCormick
While the EU and US hesitate, the UK can become world leader in this burgeoning – and cruelty-free – innovation
If the pet food industry were a country, it would rank as the world’s 60th biggest emitter of carbon dioxide. In countries such as the US,…

Making the British decision to abolish slavery even more remarkable - a case of the oppressors giving way to their own moral sense.
Nobody in the world, nobody in history, has ever gotten their freedom by appealing to the moral sense of the people who were oppressing them. -

Bo thinks he knows everything about this yet cites one of the most spurious justifications for the MMT ever contrived. Basing the UK's entire and absurdly rigid insistence on combined MMR shots on this 1 event is clinical nonsense.

There's no medical benefit in taking the MMR (Mumps, Measles, Rubella) shot compared with taking the same shots separately BUT there are (I thought obvious) reasons for not taking simultaneous vaccine injections.
Why question DJ Trump on this when you should be asking why the UK insists on MMR?

#Paris and much of #France had an exceptionally #cold September.
The media is oddly subdued. Had these been +ve anomalies (and those below aren't the coldest we've seen this month) I think we'd all have heard a lot more about it.

Paris: record cold at the end of September - why?
The month of September closed with temperatures that were low enough to break records for the period. We explain.

Prof Pagel cannot accept that her grossly misleading claim that PHE was abolished needs correction.
She didn't even qualify her claim with any mention of UKHSA, the new body which replaced it. She wouldn't have mentioned it at all if I hadn't raised the issue.
I think she has an agenda here.

it was abolished. UKHSA was a new body that took over some of its functions, and added some new ones. UKHSA itself could be abolished just as easily by the way.

Rohde here thinks it acceptable to post incredibly unpixelated maps of climate data when the underlying data relies on a few hundred floats covering all of the planet's vast oceans - and not even with focus on their surface.

Argo has risen!
Climate "wisdom" tells us oceans get cooler with depth yet here is Argo data showing multiple floats finding temperature starts to rise again at around the same depth 4-5km.

I'd urge a load more caution in asserting views involving ocean understanding.

SST generally measures ocean surface temperature to a depth of just 10 - 20 µm. The area of the Pacific in question is only ca 5% of the entire ocean. Robert's reply below is out by several orders of magnitude.

It's odd as the vast majority of idiots on this crappy little platform regard themselves more intelligent than those whose politics they disagree with yet spend all of their time circle jerking with the same old stale, discredited and bogus tropes & ideas.

Those who dismiss ideas of silver iodide from the reportedly excessive cloud seeding in Morocco being carried to Spain and playing a role in the floods of Oct/Nov 2024 might care to explain how sand from the Sahara routinely gets carried to the UK & sometimes further north than Scandinavia.

European media has tried to attribute the London march as driven by a poor economy and this, commentators claim, is down to Brexit.
Both claims are patently false and contrived.

His point was valid.
Should we ban something which has great utlility?
Ban cars as they sometimes are involved in deaths? Or knives? Or household bleach?
The right to bear arms is one which the rest of the thinking world envies. Without it leaders become dictators - just look at Europe.

Charlie Kirk literally said that more deaths from shootings is the price he's comfortable paying and it seems like a lot of people think he didn't say or believe that

Too much emotion and not enough intellect to discuss with this one I'm afraid. He seems to agree with me as he's stopped me from replying.
Considering he claimed to be a man of faith and he called it god's perfect law, I don't give a shit what point he was claiming to make. And as one of the queers whose death he called for, shit yourself forever
