The fundamental question I have is whether any increase in atmospheric CO2 is caused by warming, which releases dissolved CO2 from the ocean or the increase in atmospheric CO2 is causing the warming. I'd be very interested in a rational explanation for this, because the zero carbon objective of this government is going to be mind bogglingly expensive and push many people into poverty.

I believe in climate change, totally. I just have a problem understanding how an increase in atmospheric CO2 from 300-400 ppm is causing warming.

So, the dust is settling on arguably the greatest challenge to mankind since the Second World War. As then, we have been saved by ordinary people on the frontline. It was the scientists, working night and day, to develop the vaccines in record time. Some of them worked for companies motivated by profit, others underpaid and in academia, were motivated by the intellectual challenge and the global societal benefit. Sitting on the side lines were the navel gazers, the politicians and the forecasters, not a lab coat in sight, but clothed in an attitude of "we know best" and a position of power over our freedoms. So, a quick look at their recent forecasts provides the many reasons they should be ignored. It make you wonder about the climate change alarmists, with 1,000x the forecasters and all the "soft science" data analysts that covid 19 spawned. Still, I for one will be applauding the scientists, every Thursday evening at 6 o'clock, for giving us our freedom back. It'll be great to have only the flu and my loft insulation to worry about.

The guy drove through a McDonalds flashing the girls working there and the Met were able to identify him, but did fuck all. We all know what he did three days later. All the Met then did was violently break up demonstrations against male violence against women.

So, for all the fucking idiots on this thread that think the Met and Cressida Dick are doing a good job, wait for the emerging news over the next few days, the first in tomorrow's Telegraph:

So that they can assess the hazard posed by any new technology and ban it. Happily, we are now free to use risk and benefit assessment to regulate.

This whole episode shows how easy it is for the MSM to manipulate the public. Climate change emergency, Trump bad, Brexit bad, Running out of fuel? The British public is too stupid, gullible or more likely, too lazy to study the evidence and rather, rely on a few left wing, liberal journos to provide a headline grabbing summary, before they turn to the entertainment and sports pages.

The Met...employer of the fucking month. How is this woman still in charge of this failing and dangerous force.

Show a bit of gratitude to Trump, his government and cast that goldfish brain of yours and your fellow socialist ingrates, back a year ago, if you can: Six months after the former GlaxoSmithKline executive, Moncef Slaoui, left the private sector to become President Donald Trump’s coronavirus vaccine tsar, Mr Slaoui feels his decision has been vindicated, and critics of the ability of Operation Warp Speed to develop a vaccine in record time having been proved wrong. “The easy answer for experts was to say it was impossible and find reasons why the operation would never work,” he told the Financial Times. But the vaccine push is now hailed as the bright spot in the Trump administration’s Covid-19 response, as products from Pfizer and BioNTech, Moderna, and AstraZeneca and Oxford university move closer to approval. Operation Warp Speed is a more than $10bn investment programme with a remit to fund vaccines, therapeutics — such as two recently approved antibody treatments — and diagnostics. The entire planet is going to benefit from it. We’re going to . . . hopefully have a vaccine available in France and Spain and Italy, all paid for by the US government Stéphane Bancel, Moderna chief executive So far it has spent the vast majority of its money on Covid-19 vaccines.

Remember Trump’s 'Covid cocktail'? It could be a vital weapon in this winter’s pandemic fight The former President's use of experimental therapy Ronapreve was met with alarm but, a year on, it has arrived in the UK with NHS approval.

Mate, you have shit for brains, like Biden.

So you're suggesting that Biden is a better President than Trump was in his first year? #deluded

Donald Trump has overtaken President Biden in favourability ratings among American voters only eight months after the transfer of power — a remarkable turnaround that is attributed to crises at home and abroad. He has a positive rating of 48 per cent compared with Biden’s 46 per cent in a new Harvard-Harris poll, a result that reflects dismay among US voters over the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan, surging numbers of coronavirus cases, migrants flocking to the Mexican border and deadlock in Congress, where the Democratic president’s ambitious plans are stuck in the mud.

The City of London has maintained its crown as Europe's dominant financial hub as firms in the Square Mile adapt to Brexit. London came second only to New York in the latest global financial centres index, which is published by Z/Yen Group, a financial think tank. The City comfortably beat rival European centres, including Paris, Frankfurt and Amsterdam, which came 10th, 14th and 17th, respectively. The report said London's strong performance "reflects confidence in the longer-term prospects for the centre". It comes despite repeated warnings from chief executives and politicians that Brexit would damage the Square Mile's reputation.

Aukus vindicates the UK’s exit from the EU. Brexit set the UK free to re-evaluate its own interests and serve them better. The deal proves decisively that the Remainer claim that Britain can have no influence outside of a European bloc, to which it must necessarily surrender its sovereignty or become irrelevant, was a lie. The UK is an attractive geopolitical partner, with significant military and diplomatic advantages, that now has the capacity to act more flexibly in global affairs.

The Aukus defence pact between the UK, US and Australia is game-changing. A courageous decision to share nuclear technology with a friendly power, it re-tilts UK foreign policy towards the Pacific, where the threat of China must be managed, and proves that Global Britain is a concrete idea. Brexit, finally, is making a real, historic difference.

You're totally out of touch with the latest solution dreamed up by the anti-scientific woke left. Forget nuclear power, it's loft insulation...

...pounds are the same, but stones are something you throw at Justin Trudeau...

....same goes for a US vs UK gallon...

You will be disappointed when you buy a US pint of beer, versus one in the UK. I doubt you can buy any drink in litres in the US, though.

To remind those misguided Leavers what this thread is about, please read the above opening post. The lovely Liz Truss has, to date, rolled over the following trade agreements: Additionally, new trade agreements have been concluded with Australia, Japan, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Turkey, with many more expected. Furthermore, City firms are bullish about London’s future as a global finance hub amid growing hopes there will be a post-Brexit bonfire of red tape, according to a new report. More than two-thirds of financial institutions believe London will not be toppled as a result of leaving the European Union, according to an annual survey of bosses by Lloyds. Meanwhile, almost half of respondents think that UK financial services’ competitiveness will improve as Britain ditches Brussels regulations in favour of its own model. The results suggest growing optimism over the country’s post-Brexit freedom, despite warnings before the referendum campaign that a Leave victory would prove disastrous for the Square Mile and destroy 232,000 jobs. Brexiteers have done the entire country a great service and Boris continues to play a blinder..

Freedom never comes without a price. It was true in 1945 and true today, just that the price, if any, is much, much lower.

Let's face it, there will never be a referendum on re-joining the EU, before the inevitable collapse of the single market and even if there was, the result would be "no way Jose", particularly from the many thousands of voters, whose lives saved due to the UK not being part of the EU joint vaccine procurement scheme, unlike every member state of the EU. So, like the diminishing number of socialists licking their wounds since the last GE, it's time for Leavers to suck it up and make the best of it for the common good, or like horse-faced Hilary Mantel, fuck off to Ireland and enjoy paying €70 to see your GP.

Read all about it here, leavers, I mean losers...

Now blood on his hands as this thread is realised in devastating detail. The slow death of American democracy.
