The thing that's so blinking frustrating with your point MM is that you talk about 'belief' vs. 'rational discussion',as if you're the rational one and everyone else is dogmatic.


Quite the opposite is true. The vast majority of the scientific industry has demonstrated time and again the links between human activity and the climate.


Driven by your own 'small government' ideology, you cherry pick isolated lunatics to prove that not everyone agreed with the experts, which means that you're only being 'reasonable', but as a consequence you claim we should do nothing.


There lies the rub - your motive is in the 'do nothing': you want to 'do nothing' because anything else would require organisation, government and a social commitment which you reject on dogmatic grounds. As a free marketeer, your position on climate change science works backwards from that.


It's the scientific equivalent of hailing David Icke as your messiah.

Ah, you old fraud! Trigonometry can only refer to triangles!


I guess you could have spherical geometry, but I don't think we could make much use of it unless we first assumed Earth to be a perfect sphere rather than just spheroid.


I suppose that the study of the Earth's measurements would be geomatics. However, I don't know that we would measure volume with that.


Ah No! Got it!


The study of the Earth's existence on four dimensions is called Geodetics.


That makes the mathematical interpretation of a perfect Earth a 'Geoid' with an 'ideal' surface calculated at 'mean sea level'.

    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
