I think some people are a bit slow on the uptake.... Not all woman in the developing world have full control over the amount of children they have... Fewer kids = fewer people to drain resources, to feed, to have a carbon footprint, to eat meat etc etc

I do wonder if sorting our defence out will result in the rest of the team performing better. Cant help wondering that our ****e back 4/5 spreads uncertainty and crapness throughout the whole team.

Game being shown all around the world, on the following channels. Should be able to find a stream somewhere https://www.mancity.com/news/first-team/first-team-news/2019/october/man-city-southampton-carabao-cup-what-channel-tv-info

To re-enforce that view, in the face of such opposition.

Surely, if the will of the people was still to leave the EU...why aren't there massive protests to support that view? As opposed to completely the opposite. You would have thought that pro brexit supporters would have rallied to counteract the People Vote march, but that hasnt happened.

With up to a million people marching for a peoples vote in London today, I was just wondering were the pro Brexit march is?

I'm sorry, but I cant take one that still believes in god seriously.

The point I was trying to make was that having a lot of heroin in your body dies indeed act as a potent pain killer...but the negative effects far outway the positive...rather like high levels of CO2 in the atmosphere. Read the articles.

Yeah, and heroin is a good pain killer..... https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/ask-the-experts-does-rising-co2-benefit-plants1/ https://phys.org/news/2018-04-carbon-dioxide-boost-plantgrowth.html https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2016/nasa-study-rising-carbon-dioxide-levels-will-help-and-hurt-crops

This. Global decisions are going to be harder to make when certain countries are doing all they can to separate themselves from wider organisations.

Scientific methodology includes the following: 1- Objective observation: Measurement and data (possibly although not necessarily using mathematics as a tool) 2 - Evidence 3 - Experiment and/or observation as benchmarks for testing hypotheses 4 - Induction: reasoning to establish general rules or conclusions drawn from facts or examples 5 - Repetition 6 - Critical analysis 7 - Verification and testing: critical exposure to scrutiny, peer review and assessment I reckon most of those predictions are at stage 6 or 7 above.....more and more data will provide more accurate claims. Which is what seems to be happening at the moment.

There will be a tipping point in the not too distant future, where the evidence will be even more convincing than it is now....and any attempts to belittle the appearance of protestors, the way they perform on TV, their political viewpoints, how they dress etc will look even more embarrassing than it does now. To be fair, trying to converses with a load of numbskulls on a football forum, is probably not the best place to debate these issues.

This seems abundantly clear...you agree with the reports; but, for some reason, you have an issue with the people that have reacted the most to the reports. How slow do you want the changes in order to keep you happy?....considering that there have been lobbying groups around for the best part of 30 years, you could argue XR are a bit slow in their reaction..... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Climate_Coalition https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/oct/09/revealed-20-firms-third-carbon-emissions

My last post for 24 hours.... I think the message XR are trying to get out to the masses, is that unless radical and drastic decision are done now, the lives we live and the lifestyles weve all got used to will be ripped off us whether we like it or not. Here is a scenario that I can 100% see happening....large areas of the planet will become increasingly uninhabitable, which in term will force mass migrations out of that area (probably starting in Africa and the Middle East) into areas of the planet that can sustain life (probably Europe and counties on that latitude) - these areas that can sustain life are already stretched to breaking point as bio diversity has plummeted and frequent floods etc ruin crops of food. The fall out will be famine, war and disease as more and more people compete for the earths dwindling resources. The human population will plummet and a lifestyle will be forced upon us that is totally alien to what we have now. The fossil fuel jobs will have to be lost Hardship will have to be endured Our lives will have to be changed beyond anything we know now Instead of people working in fossil fuel industries, they work for wind / solar / hydro farms and the subsequent supply chains Its not a lifestyle CHOICE....XR are saying that the Scientists are warning THIS WILL HAPPEN, and they are trying to do something about it. What do you suggest the protestors do, as the message is clearly not getting through.

Yes - I buy and use all those things you mention...I also work for a cruise company that has had recent protests on its doorstep. I feel morally compromised working for them.....but I have to pay the bills like everyone else. I am in the process of looking for alternative employment however. I'm 43....me and the generations that came after me.....didn't arrive in this world and demand fossil fuel powered vehicles, plastic, foreign holidays, clothes, furniture, white goods etc.....they were already there. The XR lot are the 1st generation to have all the facts to hand, and what they are saying is that there needs to be radical changes (seems they are more capable of coping with this new way of life than you appear to be) as if changes arent made, we are all f4cked. I'll ask again, do you not believe the scientific reports.

I think this is an example of people "not getting it" - this way of life you enjoy, will be ripped away from your future generations whether they like it or not....guess XR are trying to be proactive instead of reactive. Do you not believe the scientists reports? https://news.un.org/en/story/2019/09/1046972 https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/jul/10/earths-sixth-mass-extinction-event-already-underway-scientists-warn https://climate.nasa.gov/evidence/ https://www.ipcc.ch/2019/09/25/srocc-press-release/ https://public.wmo.int/en/media/press-release/global-climate-2015-2019-climate-change-accelerates if the scientists are to be believed, future generations will look back at your comments and sigh that when there was still time to do something about it, there were still people around that had views like yours. Nothing will happen though, as too many powerful people / companies still rely on the fossil fuel trade.

Have you ever paid for internet on a cruise ship...? Satellite communications cost loads and loads.

Yeah, sat comms costs ££££££'s

I'm ITK on this one. It's the new team bus, the one with a silver badge was 6 years old. This new one cost £1.6m... Sky TV on board costs 60k per month.

You also seem to have forgotten that it was Bercow's bending of the rules that allowed Eurosceptic MP's to force a Commons vote that led to the 2016 Referendum
