@donegal1973 @museumofjerseys @MarkAViduka Japan I heard was due to their selection process for the world cup. Used to just be picking the best club team to represent them, and their first world cup they were represented by a team wearing blue.

Just wondering why some international football teams play in different colours to their national flag. Italy, Netherlands, England (blue shorts), Japan, New Zealand, Australia come to mind. Anyone know?? #worldcup @museumofjerseys

@no1baggiesfan @MatthewWielicki Milankovitch cycles are natural. The rate that we are warming in this cycle cannot be solely explained by the cycle we are in and is therefore unnatural. The graph shows previous cycles across millions of years as well as the absurd rate at which we have warmed the planet.

@Merrily_Meme @MatthewWielicki It shows nothing of the sort AND you said QUOTE: "The current cycle of warming we are seeing is not natural and poses a real threat." "NOT natural" Milankovitch cycles are completely NATURAL. I give up, brainwashed people like you are beyond help.

The UK just “smashed” its May temperature record… but here’s the part the Met Office conveniently leaves out: The PREVIOUS record was set in 1922. That’s 104 years ago. Long before SUVs, private jets, or modern CO₂ emissions. Heathrow Airport didn’t even exist yet. The area was literally farmland and small villages. So if a 1922 heatwave could produce nearly identical temperatures in a world with ~130 ppm less CO₂, maybe, just maybe, natural variability plays a much bigger role than the panic merchants admit.

@busierbath @matthewdmarsden It's not about human preference. Our ecology cannot adapt quick enough to these rising temperatures. That means our plants, pollinators, our crops, our livestock. Our food supply is deeply complex and at significant risk from this warming. Cooling has never been a problem.

@Merrily_Meme @matthewdmarsden I don't see a problem for those of us who can't afford to move to Florida or the Caribbean the larger problem is, and always has been, cooling humans prefer warmer climes and 'the elite' are buying coastal homes and the insurance companies still have no worries in that regard

So if it was this hot 82 years ago, and this is the first time it has been matched, global warming isn’t a thing.

@no1baggiesfan @MatthewWielicki Dude...the image I posted shows milankovitch cycles at play.

@Merrily_Meme @MatthewWielicki Milankovitch cycles LOOK IT UP LEARN And WAKE UP

@no1baggiesfan @MatthewWielicki Then turn off the caps lock and tell me what is incorrect about what I've shown you.

@Merrily_Meme @MatthewWielicki AGAIN, you are talking BULLSHIT DO SOME PROPER RESEARCH. Quit parroting the propaganda, its getting boring.

@no1baggiesfan @MatthewWielicki I don't even know where to begin with all of the objectively false things you've posted. We are in a historically cool period of the earth, but we are warming far too quickly, and quicker than previous mass extinction events.

@Merrily_Meme @MatthewWielicki BULLSHIT It is totally NATURAL The earth WAS a frozen ball, it is STILL thawing out. The galaxy orbits, like our earth orbits, every few hundred thousand years, we get the SAME change. STFU with your brainwashing

@philosophicweb @EnergyMix_UK @MatthewWielicki Holy shit you are thick.

From what I am reading, there is a distinct limit to the absorption of radiation by CO2. And there is evidence of decreased cloud cover between 1980s and today. So, regardless of how much extra CO2 has gone into the atmosphere through human activities, the reality may be that it's the SUN which is causing the temps changes. And I don't like you dismissing the powerful point that the last time a certain temp was recorded was 104 years ago, long before Heathrow existed. Your dismissal smacks of desperation.

@no1baggiesfan @MatthewWielicki ...we can deduce the weather in previous millions of years. The current cycle of warming we are seeing is not natural and poses a real threat.

@MatthewWielicki Considering this planet has been around millions of years and us humans have only been recording temperature for just over a hundred, then its all irrelevant. Records are meant to be broken ??? LOL

@MatthewWielicki You're as thick as mince. Stop focusing on single day records. They make headlines, but the real danger to the environment is the continuous hot weather days.

@Dozy_Doats Deleting all ur posts and then making up quotes. What a chud lol

Unrelated but a lot of Americans are calling the World Cup “FIFA”, not the first time I’ve seen this and I wonder why

@llcoolwbb You call olympic basketball "fiba"? Idrk, just cause it's the biggest thing doesn't mean it makes sense. It's like calling f1 "FIA"

@Merrily_Meme it’s the biggest thing they host. don’t know any of the other events. plus i very much do refer to all the various FIBA events as just FIBA

does FIFA not host it?

@Jaime_Sua_ @flameosumeet @sambrazy @JoshClarkeDC @dpedu No they wouldn't, because FIFA hosts multiple tournaments. It is obtuse to call them the "FIFA qualifiers"

@flameosumeet @sambrazy @JoshClarkeDC @dpedu I think people would still omit the World Cup part when talking about it (and it still works), even in Spanish FIFA qualifiers, FIFA quarter/semifinals, etc especially since it’s every four years if u say FIFA when talking about the games people will get it

@mvthsprz @flameosumeet Right but FIFA organise a whole bunch of competitions. You don't call March madness or the CFP "NCAA"

@flameosumeet It’s because the oficial name of the competition it’s FIFA World Cup 😂😂😂

@Freeman_fcc ...as are a whole bunch of other tournaments for both club and national teams. Doesn't make sense to call it Fifa when there's only one world cup.

Nothing wrong with calling it FIFA after all it's organized by FIFA .
