Match ratings v MK Dons [09.09.23]

[tommopie8]

Yes I would take that any day over looming thought control. I have always been a bit selfish lol, but can't see me getting my own way on this one.
I love the way some/most humans think they can control the climate of the planet. What temperature have we decided we want for English summers, when getting to 'Net Zero', and how many days of snow would be nice in winter.

Simple question - How do you know it's not you that is wrong?

That question applies to everyone. If you only get your information from sources you agree with you are living in an echo chamber of views. You need to challenge your own viewpoints first before you can challenge the viewpoints of those that disagree with you. That means reading up on the opposing viewpoint and checking their claims but you also have to do with your own views.

Do you want to be the one wearing the lemon juice?

But even if you can't be sure of a definitive answer, you have to remember that the future of the planet is at stake. Do you:

a. Ignore it, in case it might not happen.
b. Play safe, because if it does happen future generations will be f@cked.

I'd love to hear what your definition of "play safe" is. Would you care to share it?

Happy to oblige.

Playing safe is believing the scientists who say climate change is real, and taking whatever actions we can to minimise it.

Climate change is real. What is causing it is another matter. I can say I am not decided on that. It is entirely possible that playing safe as you put it could cause far more harm than good. You don't need to be a Scientist to understand it's warmer. The rate of warming is much faster I concur. The last few times the world has warmed up a bit, we did nowt and it cooled down again. Naturally. Impossible decisions loom. But nothing much will be done as too much is at stake for too many people and agreeing is impossible. If I were you enjoy the large onions and your family mate. Cheers QP.

Hi Swale
Is it possible to split a thread?
Is it possible to close a thread?
If so, would you be able to close this thread at the point of the start of the debate on climate change and start a new one at that point?
Sounds like it might be quite difficult but I don't think anybody has anything significant still to say about the MK Dons match.
Thank you if you can!

It isn't possible to do that I'm afraid. I was kind of hoping that the constant adding to the title might make people think...

'Oh my goodness, how silly I am! Perhaps I should have gone to a more appropriate thread or started a new one for this'.

Alas, it appears that we basically just have this one thread for all topics now I'm afraid. A strange development after all these years of using threads for topics. Of course, there have always been certain posters who randomly post in the wrong thread on a completely different topic but this new evolution of NCM is fascinating.

The climate change movement is the naïve young scantily clad hippy girl in one of those late 1960s Hammer Horror films, cornered by a vampire (the new world order)....... "Ah my child, so you want peace? Hahahahahahahahah" and he proceeds to give them their peace, for all eternity.

It's the 'whatever actions' part that worries me. What if governments announce sweeping changes to our way of life? What if we're no longer allowed to use personal cars, or if certain products are rationed or banned (like meat, for example). What if you have to ask for permission to fly somewhere? What if non-compliance means you don't get access to basic public services? Where's the line?
