    The predictions which the scientific world ( 98% of it) made 30 years ago are coming true. Slower than they predicted because the oceans are absorbing more heat than was originally thought, but you can read about the effect that's having on marine life if you're interested. I've given up arguing about it, been 100% convinced for 30 years. I would just point out that we rely 100% on the results of scientific research, only in this case people refuse to believe it because they don't want to.

    On the surface it appears the dislike of the left get's in the way of facts. Strange.

    On the surface it looks like the Left's self interests can distort any 'facts' to suit their arguments.

    There are two conflicting cases about global warming - Polar opposites in fact <laugh>

    This is the age of the anti-expert, FHB.

    Just look at what the "experts" predicted after a Brexit vote.

    Deniers have money tied up in fossil fuels, chemicals and tobacco. Admitting climate change is a thing goes against their interest.
    It's ALWAYS about the £££$$$.

    So if your boiler breaks down do you get an expert to mend it, or some bloke in the pub who will make a wild guess?

    Apparently the new euphemism for lies is "alternative facts", replacing "fake news". The C4 news called them "terminological inexactitudes", but this is too much of a mouthful for most of us.

    Following their buy-out of Charlton Athletic, a Red Bull spokesman announced that there will only be minor adjustments to the way the club is run. Thomas Driesen is to have a more hands-on role as chief scout, and will be recruiting from the local Primary School for his assistants. Katrien Meire will remain in her post, and Karel Fraeye will be the new Director of Football.
    "We aim to continue Roly's successful business plan, indeed to take it a stage further", said the spokesman, who wishes to remain anonymous."The Charlton fans' protests have made you famous, and you ain't seen nuthin yet"

    Well that will have taught them!

    Chicago needs a lot of work - but I feel this has as much to do with it being Obama's 'home' as making America great again.

    The most powerful man in the world genuinely said 'I will send in the feds' that was the most astonishing part. The country will go to ****.

    Drumpf's hero is not, as first thought, Vladmir Putin, but Kim Jong Un.
