Blame the mad Russian for that.

That's not logical. (Not having a pop TLC - just trying to understand the machinations in play here.)

In 2021 Russia supplied the UK with approx 4.4% of our total gas requirements.

Today Russia supplies the UK with 0% of our gas.

So I fail to see how it could be Putin's fault that we'll be paying less for gas and more for electricity. Unless I've missed summat?

If you watched anything other than Reform News you might have learned that the increase in electricity is due to investment in green

energy infrastructure

I get that, but I'm not sure where Big Bad Vlad (that one's just for raging ) comes into it, that's all - other than being the official 'Bad Guy' we apparently need...

It may be a surprise but I regularly tune in to BBC/Sky/ITV News to keep abreast of their version of events too. No such thing as too much information.

Not to be too dismissive but that degree of temperature change happens every day where I live. It starts off cool in the morning then warms up until it gets to night time again and then cools down. 😂

You won?t convince me Raging just like I won?t convince you. We will both continue to live to our life?s expectancy and then die. The next generation will do the same and the next after than and so on.
Have a great weekend.

Fair enough. Only speaking for myself but it really isn't about to change anyone's opinion, it's about trying to extract verifiable, demonstrable facts to back up their opinions.

But back to the footy, which units us. Apart of course from when it doesn't.

You are neither my parent, teacher, child or wife and it is to those people that deserve me to verify things because it directly affects them.

That is apart from Football opinions in which case they know nowt but I do have many agreements with you 😂 or disagreements 🤭

Well, you say that but look at the temperature change in Sudan for example which has risen, progressively, year on year, by a total of 3 degrees since 1961.

I hear all the sceptics on here, EO convinced that every science writer, literally every one of the millions of them worldwide, are corrupt, but how can you argue with temperature measurements? It's that basic. You can't interpret temperature measurements, and they're out there for everyone to see. Sudan's temperature is rising quickly, as are other similar countries and surely it's not hard to see where that's heading in the next century and beyond. It really is very, very basic. No theory needed, just look at the temperature in each country year on year for the last 50 to 100 years. Then think of how that equates to the harshest hot places on earth at the moment (death valley etc) and look at how long it will take currently populated countries to reach that heat of current rising levels are maintained. It's that simple.

Do the young men of Sudan have asylum applications accepted on the basis that Sudan is hotter than it was in 1961 raging ?

I'm not aware of any asylum applications based on heat animal. At least not successful ones. But if that rise continues, it will likely start to happen from their and similar places in the next 100 years.

I went to an education convention today and there was a wonderful writer from Iceland whose grans and grandads used to work in glacier science out there and noted that in their lifetime leading to their recent death they chronicled and photographed local glaciers.

Their most local glacier (named 'Ok' finally disappeared in 2019, like completely and a local person created a memorial plate which read:


A Letter to the Future

OK is the first Icelandic glacier to lose its status as a glacier
In the next 200 years all our glaciers are expected to follow the same path
This monument is to acknowledge that we know
what is happening and what needs to be done.
Only you know if we did it

So you would agree with me then that climate change as of today is driving irregular immigration from country's such as Sudan is a bogus claim made by the progressive liberal class ?

It would have to be a bogus claim giving that asylum can't be offered on the basis of predicting the weather in Sudan a hundred years from now .
