Re: Global warming or Human selfishness
Taddy, you know that I like to educate myself….and part of that is because we have teens in our family who are in sixth form and are doing stuff that boggles the brain.
But here you are just for you.
Our education does not stop when we leave school Taddy.

Re: Global warming or Human selfishness
I know, Dave., It’s really hard to keep up. But maybe some cranks will get it right in 7.5 billion years from now – and they will be able to say with their last breath ‘told you so’.

Certainly not down to our greed, "UK" have been one of the most generous nations when it comes to handing out monies to other countries (mainly 3rd world), not just the govt, but private initiatives while neglecting our own in many cases.
As to moving elsewhere, not got an issue with it just so long as those doing the moving are prepared to go through a laid down legal process, are compatible, have skills we require, are not a drain on our society, prepared to assimilate & accept our ways.
As to dying, quite a lot of this is brought about by themselves & their goverments & leaders. Yes nature has a part in it too, but if those in power in these places actually used the support & funds they've been given for the purposes it was given, the majority of these places wouldn't be the basket cases they are & the populace, while not exactly being rich would at least have a reasonable chance at a half way decent life.

Quite so mate, but by denying them the oxygen of attention they so desire, they'll eventually start choking & hopefully eventually shut up & crawl off to take up another "Cause celebre!"
There was a little light of hope for us "Normals" the other day with this ruling:-
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/u...-b1979455.html
And published by the "Indie" no less, there were even articles on Al-Ja Beebra & in the "Grauniad", they must've been frothing having to report a victory for sensible thinking & normalcy.

Re: Global warming or Human selfishness
the thing is that Hate was always too strong a word. do not know what others feel but i doubt i have ever hated anybody. there are individuals and sections of the community that i may dislike but its a long way from actually hating them.
