    When you say evidence what you actually mean is "opinion, misinformation and outright lies that goes against all evidence".

    The problem with this site is that you all refuse to read, or take notice, of any information or opinion that runs contrary to your beliefs, and then try to get that person's views suppressed by denigrating or abusing them.

    Rather than engaging in debate or delving deeper in order to try to uncover the truth via source documents, or media from all sides of the political spectrum  (in order to try to obtain a more balanced view) you instead get your misguided and misinformed perspective reinforced by your fellow posters, all of whom appear to be on the same side of the political fence.

    "Trump was a terrible president, he colluded with Russia, he started an insurrection, he told people to inject bleach, there's no way in hell he'd ever get re elected".

    WRONG 🤣 (Because the American people realised that they had been repeatedly lied to, and terribly misled)

    Or. "Social media and the MSM isn't deliberately suppressing Conservative voices and views".

    Twitter, Facebook & the FBI weren't deliberately preventing people from knowing about that Laptop from hell (Russian Disinformation, yeh right! )

    (Oh yes they were, it now turns out)

    And you were all very WRONG yet again 🤣 

    Maybe time to start wising up?

    No need to close the thread Stig because I'm bailing anyway. Thanks for the debate fellas, carry on all agreeing with each other.


    Pot. Meet kettle.

    We do engage with debate but when one side is backed by science and evidence and the other only lies and conspiracy with no credible sources it ends pretty quick. People have been particularly patient with you on this thread explaining and evidencing thing over and over. There is actually plenty of balance and debate on this thread. But when certain overarching principles that are objective facts are questioned it rather breaks down.

    When did critical evaluation of the source of the information stop becoming a skill?. Information not backed by science and evidence should rightly be written off. 

    B.t.w. social media and the MSM weren't "deliberately suppressing conservative view" they were preventing the spread of misinformation (also known as lies). The fact that ot disproportionately affected conservative views isn't about censorship it was maybe a prompt that conservative views should look into themselves and reflect on the truth of them. The fact that it has stopped doing so isn't a good thing.

    But no of course the billionaires that own the media and social media are are all personally promoting hard right and far right views is definitely proof they were anti conservative. The cognitive dissonance required here is hilarious.

    I love this our side is full of facts from scientists and evidence but your side is fed from disinformation (reminds me of a certain shock jock and his gullible listeners) even though Nobel prizewinning scientists dont agree with them.

     Reminds me of a certain thread called brexit. Those experts (and fortunately some of the posters) soon disappeared once it was done.

    Arrogance is astonishing.
    I took a while, and they had to be dragged kicking and screaming, but it does seem that our friends are finally admitting that having too many humans inhabiting too small an area (UK being a great example) emitting ever increasing amounts of pollutants into the atmosphere, is not only terrible for wildlife, its also no good for the planet generally.

    But that still won't stop them mocking people like you and I for wanting to stop the boats, secure borders, and have strict migration controls.

    We still won't get them to admit that the overriding problem IS the population boom. 

    Unfortunately the first step in solving any problem, is to actually identify it.
    One side of politics has great problems doing that unfortunately.
    To them the overriding issue is rich people (Probably white rich people 😜) flying around in private jets.

    Hopefully, from tomorrow, things start to change and common sense once again prevails.

    When an old Trump hating leftie like Bill Mayhar starts talking common sense, then you know that the worm has started to turn.

    As only the richest 10% are reportedly responsible for almost half (49%) of total lifestyle consumption emissions, and the poorest 50% only 7%, population numbers are clearly not the only factor.

    Therefore, getting the rich to take more responsibility for reducing their carbon footprints and change their ways wouldn't necessitate a reduction in numbers, but would make a bigger difference in reducing emissions than having fewer numbers of the poorest.

    It’s not the overriding problem, but that doesn’t suit your narrative 
  • edited 11:55AM
    Notice how the only solutions supplied involve securing UK borders. Man-made accelerated climate change is denied on one side of the mouth, but its effect of causing mass migration from uninhabitable regions is accounted for on the other. The wealthy right don't want to give anything up, so there's a sleight of tongue employed. Our consumption won't cause any disasters. Oh but we need big fucking guns to blast any approaching boats to bits. Can't think why there might be more of them soon. Just a hunch

    Population is just one of the causes.

    Why do you think there is so much migration?

    One of the big drivers of migration is due to parts of the planet being unable to support humans due to rapidly changing climate, the others being war and persecution.

    It's been identified. It's humans burning fossil fuels, which has been most pronounced post industrialisation, of which the population boom is a key driver, but how the population choose to live their lifestyles in creating more consumer demand is another.

    Chippy, your 'side' isn't full of facts, the view of the vast majority of scientists is that the current rate of climate change is man made. It shouldn't be about 'sides' this isn't a football game, we all need to work together.

    Threads about Brexit were closed down, that's why they disappeared. 
    I don't have a side. There are many people saying one thing as there are saying the other. What you choose to believe is down to you. 

    What I find amusing is the notion that, and it is the same people on every thread, that they have some superior knowledge than everyone else, and their sources of information is right and far superior than anyone else.

    Unlike most people on here, I actually work with scientists, some advise Euroatom and sit on the same committee. They can tell the viscosity of the jam but don't know how to open the jar., and they try and tell me how to run our plant. Which I am in charge off and get paid to do.

    Rather than engaging in debate or delving deeper in order to try to uncover the truth via source documents, or media from all sides of the political spectrum  (in order to try to obtain a more balanced view) you instead get your misguided and misinformed perspective reinforced by your fellow posters, all of whom appear to be on the same side of the political fence.

    "Trump was a terrible president, he colluded with Russia, he started an insurrection, he told people to inject bleach, there's no way in hell he'd ever get re elected".

    WRONG 🤣 (Because the American people realised that they had been repeatedly lied to, and terribly misled)

    Or. "Social media and the MSM isn't deliberately suppressing Conservative voices and views".

    Twitter, Facebook & the FBI weren't deliberately preventing people from knowing about that Laptop from hell (Russian Disinformation, yeh right! )

    (Oh yes they were, it now turns out)

    And you were all very WRONG yet again 🤣 

    Maybe time to start wising up?

    No need to close the thread Stig because I'm bailing anyway. Thanks for the debate fellas, carry on all agreeing with each other.


    Pot. Meet kettle.

    We do engage with debate but when one side is backed by science and evidence and the other only lies and conspiracy with no credible sources it ends pretty quick. People have been particularly patient with you on this thread explaining and evidencing thing over and over. There is actually plenty of balance and debate on this thread. But when certain overarching principles that are objective facts are questioned it rather breaks down.

    When did critical evaluation of the source of the information stop becoming a skill?. Information not backed by science and evidence should rightly be written off. 

    B.t.w. social media and the MSM weren't "deliberately suppressing conservative view" they were preventing the spread of misinformation (also known as lies). The fact that ot disproportionately affected conservative views isn't about censorship it was maybe a prompt that conservative views should look into themselves and reflect on the truth of them. The fact that it has stopped doing so isn't a good thing.

    But no of course the billionaires that own the media and social media are are all personally promoting hard right and far right views is definitely proof they were anti conservative. The cognitive dissonance required here is hilarious.

    I love this our side is full of facts from scientists and evidence but your side is fed from disinformation (reminds me of a certain shock jock and his gullible listeners) even though Nobel prizewinning scientists dont agree with them.

     Reminds me of a certain thread called brexit. Those experts (and fortunately some of the posters) soon disappeared once it was done.

    Arrogance is astonishing.
    Chippy, your 'side' isn't full of facts, the view of the vast majority of scientists is that the current rate of climate change is man made. It shouldn't be about 'sides' this isn't a football game, we all need to work together.

    Threads about Brexit were closed down, that's why they disappeared. 
    I don't have a side. There are many people saying one thing as there are saying the other. What you choose to believe is down to you. 

    What I find amusing is the notion that, and it is the same people on every thread, that they have some superior knowledge than everyone else, and their sources of information is right and far superior than anyone else.

    Unlike most people on here, I actually work with scientists, some advise Euroatom and sit on the same committee. They can tell the viscosity of the jam but don't know how to open the jar., and they try and tell me how to run our plant. Which I am in charge off and get paid to do. 

    Get my drift. 
    I'll remind you of what you said in your post at 10.02 this morning:

    Arrogance is astonishing.
    I took a while, and they had to be dragged kicking and screaming, but it does seem that our friends are finally admitting that having too many humans inhabiting too small an area (UK being a great example) emitting ever increasing amounts of pollutants into the atmosphere, is not only terrible for wildlife, its also no good for the planet generally.

    But that still won't stop them mocking people like you and I for wanting to stop the boats, secure borders, and have strict migration controls.

    We still won't get them to admit that the overriding problem IS the population boom. 

    Unfortunately the first step in solving any problem, is to actually identify it.
    One side of politics has great problems doing that unfortunately.
    To them the overriding issue is rich people (Probably white rich people 😜) flying around in private jets.

    Hopefully, from tomorrow, things start to change and common sense once again prevails.

    When an old Trump hating leftie like Bill Mayhar starts talking common sense, then you know that the worm has started to turn.
    It's been identified. It's humans burning fossil fuels, which has been most pronounced post industrialisation, of which the population boom is a key driver, but how the population choose to live their lifestyles in creating more consumer demand is another.
    Exactly, thank you!
