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

First speaker since WW2 to be elected 3 times...

Fixed it for you Tory scum better make the most of their dwindling time in the lime light.....UK politics are changing, and history wont judge this lot too favourably.

Depends when you think the 4th and 5th referendums will take place......already, there are a load of people who were too young to vote last time; if you add their votes in to imminent referendum then Remain would win....the 4th & 5th ref will include even more people that wouldnt have been able to vote 1st time round....and "Leave" is very much an older persons thing. You better hope the 4th and 5th happen soon....

Democracy is the biggest lie of our generation mate....its like the word "free"

My last post.... As a result of (mainly the US) Western foreign policy - wars broke out in Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria...which has displaced hundreds of thousands of civilians. Look what incorporating 1.5 million refugees has done to Europe... At some point in the future, large parts of the planet will be uninhabitable and drinking water will be scarce....causing mass migrations into the parts of the globe that are still habitable.....if helping 1.5M refugees has turned Europe right wing, imagine what will happen when 10x that will need help?! Here's a conspiracy theory for you....Blacks and Asians are being dehumanised in the press (and by Trump and Bojo etc) - so that when resources are short, and wars, famine, disease break out....it will be easier for us to cut off those members of society that we have dehumanised in the previous decades.. This world is a mess

Hold the front page....headline shocker: "Any team that goes about things the right way, can win the league"

There are loads of well run clubs, with better squads than ours as well.

20+ other team will also be thinking the same....what makes you think we would be best of the rest?

Every time Dave Merrington says "What Saints don't want to do here is conceded a goal" or "What Saints want to do here is score a goal"

Considering those two beers are often the only two available...its not much of a endorsement!
