Perhaps ironically, most of the world's soy crop goes to feed animals for meat (and dairy).Quote:

If 99.9% of the science lobby believe it to be true doesn't make it right. It's a good game for the politicians (short term) to appear to have a semblance of control; which suits them for their short term jollie ...
True, but it does make the level of counter-evidence required to say it is wrong really quite high.Quote:

It'd be nice if that were what happened.Quote:

The worst fears about coral have not come to pass, but coverage continues to decline. It's been cut in half in the pasts 70 years.
It is what happened, but you would always know better.
These so called experts, always give a worse case scenario, but it is always taken as what will actually happen. The pandemic being a prime example. All designed to scare the Florist out of us.
6,918,076 deaths to date would make me consider the Covid-19 pandemic (I presume you meant that one) fairly serious.Quote:

Think he might well be pandering (if it is pandering and not electioneering? Or are they the same??) to the current will of the people. Manifesto promises are written in sand (by all sides) and unhappy (poor) voters trump them.
So glad you're around to say these things, Swale. I know you write it as a poster and not a moderator but you do a bloody good job at checking the misinformation on here :)Quote:
