I don't know any scientists who predicted the majority of the UK would be underwater by 2010? People should believe them because science remains the most accurate way human beings have developed to understand the way the world works and make predictions about the future. The fact that science has been, and will continue to be wrong is its strength. When a theory is put forward that better suits the data and can be proven experimentally - then the old one is thrown out and the new one becomes what we should run with, until we can do better yet again. I was having these same arguments with folk on here 10 years ago so it's sad that we're still having them now. Bang on the money there. Debating how "green" the Don is, is something of a distraction; there are others all over who need to come to the party too, for the good of everyone.

Even if you are daft enough to deny man-made climate change- you can't deny the climate science behind wildlife loss and ecosystem change. And if we end up loosing pollinators we really are up shit creek. No stable economy on a dead planet. Trumps policies lack any form of long-term economic stability. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/22/climate/trump-environment-water.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Spider Posted January 28, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted January 28, 2020 Kudos to his Tango-ness for the Middle East Peace Deal. its weighted fairly heavily in the Israeli favour, but any POTUS would do the same. The Palestinian mob won’t go for it, but at least he’s had a try. A thumbs up from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth a try of course, never going to be accepted though. Not sure a solution will ever be reached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
