Rotherham 5-2 Cardiff!

Blackburn wining at Leicester.

A rare sighting of the Loch Ness Drogba!
-
How on Earth was that a foul by Stephens?
-
A change of Ryans at HT then. KWP to LB and THB to RB?
-
Farke obviously pissed that Manning didn't get a second yellow. Ignoring the fact that his first one was fucking ridiculous and never, ever a booking.
-
The ball had already been played forward though. It didn't stop anything and was only going to have one result - a pointless yellow card.
-
WTF was Bednarek thinking there?
-
Wednesday 2-0 up now. They're on a Rohl!
-
LOL at Firpo complaining to the Lino that the ball had gone out.
-
So it is to do with tactics then. Because the passing around at the back that leads to us constantly giving it away is at the tactical direction of the manager.
-
2 howlers in a minute from THB. This is a very open game. More goals in this yet I reckon.
-
Oof. That back-pass from THB!
-
Lovely stuff.
-
In all fairness, that one was much more obvious.

Some of the mental gymnastics that his supporters have to perform to try and claim he didn't actually say what millions of people heard him say is hilarious, and also terrifying that these people are actually allowed to vote. This is the sign that was up in the briefing room when he made that 'speech': He obviously just read it before he went on camera and then engaged in some mental and verbal diarrhoea about it.

Potentially, yes. There's no way of predicting super-volcanic eruptions with any degree of accuracy. And yes, if such an event were to occur, anthropogenic emissions would pale in comparison to the level of CO2 it would release. But we could be talking thousands or even millions of years in the future, so it doesn't negate the point of controlling our emissions in the here and now.
-
Yes, but we don't have records for that, only inferences from proxy data. And as badgerx16 points out, those higher temperatures have also coincided with much higher CO2 concentrations and sea levels. An example of this is the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), which was caused by a massive release of carbon into the atmosphere, likely from volcanic activity.

See my subsequent post...

Good luck getting through. He obviously doesn't even understand the difference between climate and weather.
-
When temperature records are continually broken and the frequency/intensity of heatwaves increases as part of a clear trend over time, then yes you can blame it on global warming. Just because it's raining and a bit nesh in Somerset in early May doesn't prove anything (what exactly is the point you're trying to make anyway?)
-
Indeed. There's nothing irrational about my dislike for Donny. I despise the man because of the overwhelming evidence from his very public life so far that points to him being a delusional, entitled, narcissistic sociopath with no actual talent for anything other than self-promotion.

Global warming doesn't 'kick in' each year to bring you beach weather because it's a continuous, ongoing process based on a multi-decadal upward trend in average global temperatures. Just because it's a bit chilly where you are compared to what you think it should be for the time of year, doesn't negate that. It will get warmer in your locality when we have a period of high pressure that will prevent Arctic air pushing in from the north (as is happening currently), not when global warming 'kicks in'.
