Reply to: Since Brexit and then Trump.....

[vetran]

No, I think that's more due to the general tw@ttery.

at last a sensible reply!

ASS & Co seem to think its the green issue without any evidence.

[pjclarke]

yes but do you believe most people hate Trump mainly because he doesn't care about fluffy bunnies???

No, I think that's more due to the general tw@ttery.

....no one talks about the imminent demise of mankind caused by Global Warming.

Well the topic is still being discussed, if not in quite those terms. But Trump knows he does not need facts or truth, he can persuade enough voters with lies and half-truths. And he lives in his own bubble. It's clear he got his picture of the situation in Sweden from a distorted report on Fox News, he knows Trump Tower was bugged because they said so on Breitbart and his claim of millions of illegal voters came from a random tweet. Inconvenient Truths will just be ignored. The link above is to an open letter signed by 800 scientists, submitted about a month after the election, the signatories eminent in climate science or a related discipline with hundreds of publications between them, urging the president to follow a science-based clean energy policy. After 3 months Richard Lindzen, one of a handful of credible contrarian scientist produced another letter advocating pulling out of the international treaty on climate change action. It was signed by 300, only a handful of whom have any related expertise, many retired, and to get the numbers up he had to include Christopher Monckton, (an English aristocrat with no scientific credentials), a GP, a forestry manager and other nutters from the distant fringes. Guess which letter Trump will point to?

We can hope he will be persuaded by his economic advisors, for example his promise to reboot the coal industry would be disastrous if followed through; coal has become uneconomic compared to the alternatives, a fact apparently grasped by the Chinese who are investing £292 bn in renewables by 2010, creating 11 million jobs.

This too shall pass. As Paul Krugman observed "politics determine who has the power, not who has the truth."

Would you be able to get one of your more coherent fellow travellers to translate for us? Maybe Equalizer of jamessbrown?

Vetran's (sic) stream of consciousness is quite Joycean*


*When he was 5.

[vetran]

When one stops to consider that sas cannot count his gooleys and get the same number twice, it sheds a bright light on just how he forms most of his random conclusions.

The man has raisins for a brain.

But although for you exponentials may be the last word in baffling and recondite cutting edge maths, they're really quite routine these days for most of us, sas.

Which maths work are you whittering on about? Could it be that divisibility puzzle about the large integers with swapped digits?

Racking my brains to recall any other "maths work" I've mentioned here recently, I can only assume you're referring to my (possible) mention of exponential growth in a discussion about the percentage of immigrants in the UK. But although for you exponentials may be the last word in baffling and recondite cutting edge maths, they're really quite routine these days for most of us, sas.

I think he is confused about you counting to 3.

I'm just agreeing with the Morons ASS & Doogie about their unfounded suggestions its easier than listening to them whine. If you want NAT can draw you a picture.

[OwlHoot]

And this kind of failure of simple logic is why I know that the maths you've been passing off as your own work is actually your mate's work
Fooking fraud.

Its all right as usual they have no ability arguing, they just insult.

Not a single fact but they have lots of opinions that is obviously what they believe being educated is about.

Yes doogie & ass the reason people hate Trump is because he doesn't believe in global warming, climate change give me a grant cheque science. The BBC is completely unbiased of course.

Yes, but you're not one of them. The picture your words painted was something like:

see it looks like you NAT.

[NotAllThere]

Don't be so literal, sometimes words can paint a picture without actually following reality there are actually some writers that were quite good at it...
