I guess that this thread can include the European Union as well. The Language of the Eurocrat ... they don't even try to hide the underlying philosophy. EU Economics Commissioner Pierre Moscovici speaking on Italy's plan to raise its budget deficit. Mr Moscovici said servicing such a large debt meant that every euro spent on it was "one euro less on roads, one euro less on education and one euro less on social justice".

www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-45680430So paying off one euro equals losing 3 euros? Is this a fractional banking approach?

I pay off 1 Euro in debt ... and the EU gives me 1 euro for roads, 1 euro for education and 1 euro for (cough) social justice. What's nor to like?

Particularly loved this quote ... But the IPCC report warns that even under a 2°C scenario – and current climate pledges have the world heading to average global warming in excess of 3°C – all coral reefs would cease to exist. At 1.5°C, there is a fair chance of saving 10-30 per cent of existing ecosystems, the report says.
So I guess the world has never been 2+ C warmer than today.

You may freeze your butt off in a snow drift while you're "smuging". They are pushing it hard. Last charge for desperate souls in a lost cause.

Referring GBR above,what I have never understood is why:
In the Persian Gulf and PNG, the sea is significantly warmer than the area included with the GBR, BUT THE CORALS ARE FINE
If the sea warms, the warm-enough-for - tropical coral zone will simply extend further South. AND THE CORALS WILL CONTINUE
Anyhow, people seem to forget the GBR is only about 10,000 years old. It formed when the sea rose at the end of the last Ice Age. flooding part of the Queensland coastal plain.

You are using natural logic. This is something that is disallowed in all schools and universities. The poor little snowflakes are convinced that everything is going to die if the mean of the highest and lowest temperatures is higher by 1.5 degrees C even if the reason the mean has gone up is the low temperatures have not been as low. They haven't even got the mental mechanism to see the lack of logic in that argument. But they have been given instead a huge amount of unstable emotional response by extremely clever neurolinguistics that for example make them think of polar bears as cuddly and that the oceans are turning acid and will dissolve the pretty corals and shell fish. You see how easy it is for these inane games like eating tidepods to spread, there are several where teenagers commit murder or suicide for the game. It may be just a feature in the 90th percentile of the group but it is still concerning to see how easily led the snowflakes have become and how easy it is to turn them mentally or physically into an unreasoning mob persuaded by emotion not logic.
