    hat we get on this board instead is these kind of half statements where people will drop some kind of vaguely related point into the conversation, but will always fall short of actually explaining what they think that means, or elaborating on what their actual position is - presumably because if they never present a fully formed argument they can't be proven wrong.
    It's all just innuendo eg "follow the money - some rich people have bought some houses in Hawaii" -but you never get any explanation of who and what they think that means.
    Or there will be a post about some cold weather in China - presumably to try to make the point that Climate change isn't happening or important or something like that, but the exact point is never made, so it kind of just hangs there.
    Try turning off your television for a week and let us know if there is any improvement.

        Last month was the world's warmest February in modern times, the EU's climate service says, extending the run of monthly records to nine in a row.

        Each month since June 2023 has seen new temperature highs for the time of year.

        The world's sea surface is at its hottest on record, while Antarctic sea-ice has again reached extreme lows.

        Temperatures are still being boosted by the Pacific's El Niño weather event, but human-caused climate change is by far the main driver of the warmth.

        "Heat-trapping greenhouse gases are unequivocally the main culprit," stresses Prof Celeste Saulo, Secretary General of the World Meteorological Organization.

        Carbon dioxide concentrations are at their highest level for at least two million years, according to the UN's climate body, and increased by near-record levels again over the past year.

        Those warming gases helped make February 2024 about 1.77C warmer than "pre-industrial" times - before humans started burning large amounts of fossil fuels - according to the EU's Copernicus Climate Change Service.

          That's all well and good but it's not as convincing as an internet meme.

                      Those pesky climate fanatics at it again.

                      Every single day of the past 12 months has seen a new global sea temperature high for the time of year.

                          Im quite critical of the way a lot of environmental policy is implemented and I think many Green parties have gone a bit mad which isn't helpful, but it's hard to argue with these figures isn't it?

                            If I'm reading it right, every single day for the past year has been a record temperature for that day.

                              That’s how I read it.

                                Greta Thunberg has captured the attention of the world with her climate change rhetoric, but is she practicing what she’s preaching?




                                Greta Thunberg’s ‘zero-carbon’ yacht trip won’t save ANY emissions as a crew have to fly to New York to sail it back
                                Ah come on now. You’re not allowed to hold people accountable for their actions. As long as they say “the right thing” that’s enough for the baboons in society. But just look at the patterns of play from those who squawk the loudest….

                                - Al Gore: Makes a film and gets a load of actors to make a noise for him, then makes billions off carbon trading exchange investment. Ker-Ching!!!

                                - Bill Clinton: Was almost broke at end of his presidency. Bangs on about global poverty with his wife, creates a load of charities to promote helping poverty then they pocket a fortune in annual salaries from their “charities”, ans divert US taxpayers money to Africa. Meanwhile people in Alabama cannot get clean water. Never mind, Ker-Ching!!!!

                                - Nancy Pelosi brings a load of anti trust lawsuits, pretending to fight against corruption. Meanwhile she makes a fortune as a huge options trader off corruption lawsuits and insider information. Ker-Ching!!!!

                                - Bono of U2 singing about poverty and pestering low and middle income to part with their money “until it hurts” to help famine in Africa, only to be squirrelling away his millions in Switzerland and minimizing his taxes. Ker-Ching!!

                                Greta “The Fretter” Thunberg. Too “young, dumb and full of cum” (as Eminem sang) to figure out how to make money from her antics just yet but give her time. She is building her public profile nicely. Someone will show her how to grift some money out of it soon. But for the moment it is “protest about the environment” whilst joyfully playing her part in soaking the clouds in jet fuel.

                                All of the above behaviour is like a male campaigning on behalf of the Me Too movement, only to find out that behind closed doors they are behaving like Josef Fritzl. I have maximum cynicism for people who try to play Mother Theresa. Often, my antenna starts twitching and soon enough you find double standards.

                                Practice what you preach, c*nts, then we’ll have an adult conversation. Until then, get your own sh1t together instead of preaching to us all like a dirty priest.
