Recently posted in another place: "The UN needs to be declared a terrorist organisation, and countries should then treat it accordingly!" Needs wider discussion/distribution? WDYT?

I think Mo’boy should look at the correlation between UHI and liberalism. Surely, UHI is melting brains.

Liberals are known to self-locate in specific parts of urban areas. Spontaneous combustion associated with the Liberalizing process itself may be melting brains ... and contributing to UHI ... which may have a positive feedback effect. No doubt CO2 is involved somewhere.

All kids go through the "know it all" phase. . . .what needs to be investigated is why so many stopped coming out the other end.

The expected departure of future climates from those experienced in human history challenges efforts to adapt. Possible analogs to climates from deep in Earth’s geological past have been suggested but not formally assessed. We compare climates of the coming decades with climates drawn from six geological and historical periods spanning the past 50 My. Our study suggests that climates like those of the Pliocene will prevail as soon as 2030 CE and persist under climate stabilization scenarios. Unmitigated scenarios of greenhouse gas emissions produce climates like those of the Eocene, which suggests that we are effectively rewinding the climate clock by approximately 50 My, reversing a multimillion year cooling trend in less than two centuries. www.pnas.org/content/early/2018/12/05/1809600115

www.sciencedirect.com/topics/earth-and-planetary-sciences/eemianThe Eemian Interglacial The marine Eemian in south Denmark is composed of shell-bearing mud and sand deposited in a shallow, boreo-lusitanian sea (Fig. 4). At Stensigmose and Ristinge Klint (Madsen et al., 1908; Jessen & Milthers, 1928; Jessen, 1945; Sjørring, 1983; Konradi; 1976; Knudsen 1994; Kristensen et al. 1999) lacustrine deposits of the Early Eemian are overlain by marine sand and mud (Fig. 4). The Cyprina Clay (Madsen et al, 1908) was deposited in shallow and relatively narrow fjords, comparable in nature to the present Danish waters.

Ratty, can this study be true? science.sciencemag.org/content/340/6128/69Coral reefs suffer mass mortality because of coral bleaching, disease, and tropical storms, but we know much more about when, where, and how rapidly these ecosystems have collapsed than we do about their recovery. Gilmour et al. (p. 69; see the Perspective by Polidoro and Carpenter) studied a highly isolated coral reef before and after a climate-induced mass mortality event that killed 70 to 90% of the reef corals. The initial recovery of coral cover involved growth and survival of remnant colonies, which was followed by increases in larval recruitment. Thus, in the absence of chronic disturbance, even isolated reefs can recover from catastrophic disturbance.

Of course, it's right, Sig ..... but I'm wondering how they got away with painting an almost positive picture of reef recovery. Anyhow, the 'ills' of the Great Barrier Reef (not the one in that 2013 study) will all be fixed soon: Great Barrier Reef $444m budget funding awarded to small foundation without tender processIn a competition of political intrigue, I think our mob would beat your lot hands down ..... excluding Meuller.
