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'.

      The current wave of xenophobia is due to powerful/influential people stirring up hatred.  It;'s what happened in the past, think 1930s Germany.  It seems to be even easier now as so many get their information from social media, whether it is right or wrong.  The media seeking so called balance will bring some nutter on, they don't then bring a nutter on to counteract that. They now seem to turn to Reform at the first opportunity. So your life is 'shite', let;s blame someone else.  Whilst sounding a bit like a Tory, taking some ownership/personal responsibility would be a start.  There are some situations where that may be more challenging, in deindustrialised 'left behind' wasteland we can't all get on our bikes and find work.  But I loathe how it is now popular to blame those of us from relatively modest backgrounds, like me, who did see education and knowledge as a way to self improve. Now we are seen by some as smug liberals......

      Kwik Fit buggered up an A/C leak diagnosis for me (saying there wasn't one, when there was) and sold a regas. The vehicle had to be taken to an A/C specialist for condensor replacement and a further regas. Not impressed.

      Yes, these are all good points. I agree with you, that division has led us down dangerous paths in the past. And I deplore any kind of racism (as I think you probably know).  But I feel that a lot of the current wave of xenophobia we're witnessing is actually more about a general malaise and discontent. I know non-white people around here who are surprisingly vocal about immigrants - legal or otherwise. I think this feeling transcends skin colour for a lot of people and isn't as simple as, say, the Jew hatred of the 1930s or the Irish and Black racism that we saw laterally. I think people feel ignored and looked down upon.  What you don't realise, Sephiroth, is that I actually agree with a lot of what you're saying. I just think that looking down on people because of their voting history and opinions is self-defeating. And that's where Labour's getting it wrong and Reform is reaping the rewards.
