@thedaywar90 Yes, Trump insults virtually every other foreign leader except his beloved Netanyahu and Putin.

Do you support Newsom continuing to insult Trump even though he is insulting the President of the United States? Yes-Or-No

@covid_quest @Electroversenet Yeah so not ice out to 2000km. Land ice (i.e. not SEA ice) will wax and wane as glaciers advance and retract over many years.

@andytheviking @Electroversenet Electroverse exaggerates when it says the area is now “locked in” by ice, but the historical overview based on the Wood et al study is accurate. After the late Holocene elephant seal optimum 1,000 yrs ago, the species was pushed out and replaced by penguins due to increasing ice.

Antarctica had far less sea ice just 1,000 years ago. Sedimentary DNA from Cape Hallett shows southern elephant seals breeding there between 2,500 and 1,000 years ago, which is only possible when the coast is ice-free. Today that site is locked in sea ice year-round, extending 2,000 km farther north than the seals' historic range. Penguin DNA tells the same story. As ice expanded, seals vanished and penguins moved in. This isn't ancient history, it's the Roman and medieval periods - well within human timescales. So when activists claim today's sea ice retreat is unprecedented, they're dead wrong. There was far less Antarctic sea ice just 1,000 years ago, naturally, centuries before modern CO2 emissions.

@zerohedge No one is stumped and that me not what the report said.

@Diver_Flemming Was that directed at a certain post ? Not linked.

Yes - obviously someone like you, making a living lying to people about scientific matters would welcome cancelling all education above fourth grade en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Mi…

@judith5432100 @EricLDaugh Oh really, tell me what you pay to NATO now that you will save. Oh you know all those forward operating bases you have in other countries that have allowed you to bomb smaller countries in Middle East and Africa, yeah you’ll need to pay for those now.

@EricLDaugh Stop paying NATO. Get us out of that alliance. They have shown their true hands.

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump just ended the Cabinet meeting with a VERY bad warning for useless American "allies" "I've done a great favor for the world. The world has not been, it has not been reciprocal because when I told NATO where we give billions and billions of dollars, trillions over the years, I said, do you mind coming up and giving us a little hand with the Straits, send up some, they didn't want to get involved!" "And I believe that's going to cost them dearly. Thank you very much everybody." Trump never forgets.

@Ivankatrumpne @uknowhoyour Spot on Mark.

Actor Mark Ruffalo recently called Donald Trump “the worst human being in the world”. What would you like to say to Mark?

@ManOfKent15 Not sure what happened about the Vimes boot index invented by Jack Munroe vimesbootsindex.co.uk I thought that was a great idea but not heard much about it since.

I'd like to know how inflation is calculated. My weekly grocery shop has nearly doubled in cost in about two years. Everything I buy has gone up by more than 10% in the same period. Yet inflation is 3.6%. Another Labour lie?

@CentristDad5 @ManOfKent15 Accumulated rise over 5 years is 38.6 %

@CentristDad5 @ManOfKent15 It’s been way more than that ! ons.gov.uk/economy/inflat…

@kpicord @rahmstorf And both humans and plants and indeed every land based living thing has always done that what changed in the last 150yrs and particularly the last 40 yrs or so?

@andytheviking @rahmstorf I used my brain. Both humans and plants release water vapor independent of temperature…that makes those sources a forcing agent, not a following agent.

Re climate change, many here repeat all the old climate myths… Warming caused by urban heat island effect. Global confused with Greenland temperatures. Or tell me (paleoclimate expert) that climate always changed. Hey, we know it all, you find all here: skepticalscience.com

@kpicord @rahmstorf Ah and you’ve worked that out how exactly ?

@RpsAgainstTrump But Europeans didn’t start either. Also shall we look at that as % of GDP

Rubio: “There was a couple of leaders in Europe who said that this was not Europe's war. Well, Ukraine is not America's war and yet we've contributed more to that fight than any other country in the world."

@RpsAgainstTrump How to win friends and influence people, the Trump edition.

Trump: We had the UK say that ‘we’ll send our aircraft carriers’, which aren’t the best aircraft carriers by the way. They're toys compared to what we have…I said ‘Oh that’s wonderful, thank you very much. Don’t bother. We don’t need it.’

@Acyn @mel606060 Bit late for that

Trump: I don’t want a stupid person being president.

@sushi_ginger1 @Bounce_BackLoan You’re not wrong there.

@andytheviking @Bounce_BackLoan Fair points but whataboutery should not be an excuse not to fix a broken system.

Right at the end of PMQs as everyone was darting out of the door, the Rt Hon Sir Edward Leigh MP (Gainsborough, Conservative) raised a Point of Order, on the subject of numbnuts Keir Starmer never answering a fucking question. The Speaker admits there is nowt he can do.

@Electroversenet 🤣🤣🤣 peer reviewed by who, this is just made up nonsense. Every study has shown that rural stations have been warming at exactly the same rate.

A peer-reviewed study finds that most of the temperature rise observed over the past century in the US isn't from greenhouse gases, but instead from roads, buildings and parking lots. By comparing raw US temperature data from stations in areas with different population densities, the study found that 65% of the warming since 1895 is explained by the urban heat island effect, and another 8% by urban growth into once-rural areas. That's nearly three quarters of the warming. No CO2 involved. Crucially, NOAA's adjusted data hides this effect. 'Homogenization' smooths it out, a process the study's author, Dr Roy Spencer, calls "urban blending". It's not global warming. It's urbanization.

Called into B&Q earlier today to buy some flags To my astonishment, they told me they didn't sell them REFUSE to sell them, more like Smelling a rat, I asked to buy an Easter egg NO EGGS Exasperated, I said "Fine, just sell me a poppy" No poppies Why do B&Q hate Britain?
