last time I checked this topic wasn't about the American constitution

Quote from brandons48 :

I got my friend a nice silver necklace, and I wrote a song for her.

As for what i'm getting, she's promised me pink socks

....and maybe a little bit more!

we apparently just had a lots and lots of rain, but I didn't hear it because I've been listening to music and stuff...so if it freezes tonight it'll be treacherous tomorrow

I want a Sony Alpha 230 dSLR but doubt I'll get it

Quote from v1rg0 :

The president is the pop star miming lyrics he didn't write to a beat he didn't produce, he's the front man. Hopefully it won't be much longer before most people realise that.

yeah true, but if a deal is struck he can kiss byebye to being re-elected

The whole Copenhagen farce highlights just how hypocritical the governments and representatives of countries etc are...with a supposed frontrunner on environmentalism Prince Charles using a private jet there and back for a 3 hour visit, and Gordon Brown chartering a whole Airbus for him and 18 of his entourage. The whole thing stinks of hypocrisy and pandering to the less well-off countries all clambering over themselves trying to claim they will all be burnt/drowned/blown away by sea level rises that won't affect them at all

nowt but a pathetic dusting in Oxford overnight

Quote from 5haz :

Same all year, because snow is pretty rare, at least on this scale.

Still a blizzard here, the last two winters I've seen the most snow I can ever remember in my life, global warming ftw.

the last two Februarys have been awesome for snow, the most I can remember since the late 90s...this Feb was just amazing

just a bump to bring this up to date with a couple more links

1. http://icecap.us/images/uploads/BOMBSHELL.pdf - This is a report from the Russian Institute of Economic Analysis

"The IEA believes that Russian meteorological-station data did not substantiate the anthropogenic global-warming theory. Analysts say Russian meteorological stations cover most of the country’s territory, and that the Hadley Center had used data submitted by only 25% of such stations in its reports. Over 40% of Russian territory was not included in global-temperature calculations for some other reasons, rather than the lack of meteorological stations and observations.
The data of stations located in areas not listed in the Hadley Climate Research Unit Temperature UK (HadCRUT) survey often does not show any substantial warming in the late 20th century and the early 21st century. "

and to add more fuel to the fire....

2. http://www.dailyexpress.co.uk/posts/view/146517

"THE Meteorological Office was last night facing accusations it cherry-picked climate change figures in a bid to increase evidence of global warming[...]experts at the Moscow-based Institute of Economic Analysis say the British dossier used statistics from weather stations that fit its theory of global warming, while ignoring those that do not. They accuse the Met Office’s Hadley Centre of relying on just 25 per cent of Russia’s weather stations and over-estimating warming in the country by more than half a degree Celsius."

Quote from Electric Eye :

I think it's ace how it's a national disaster here in britain whenever the temperature is below zero and there's over 1cm of snow.

Ahhh panic!!!! lol

the entire transport infrastructure seems to collapse whenever there is more than a light dusting, pathetic really!

It's a long way off snowing in Oxford, it's wet and murky and miserable

Quote from Intrepid :

I just had the mis-fortune to tune into BBC1 while the BBC's flagship 'The One Show' broadcast possibly the most bias bit of reporting I have seen in my entire life on climate change

Iplayer link? I want to watch it and laugh

Quote from DevilDare :

Ofcourse, like every school, there are some "bullies". However, none bother me. Couple years back one of them kept pissing me off day in day out, and just really got on my nerves. Told my mum in the morning that she might get a call from school today - she did. Beat the living crap out of the guy. Was sent out of lessons for a whole week and had to sit nex to the office instead....

They never even bother to look at me now.

They dont get in my way - I make sure I dont in theirs.

Quote from 5haz :

When you get to college/6th form all the cnuts get weeded out, everyone I know at my 6th form college is alright.

Yeah true, I'm in 6th form now and all the real neds have left. I've had to stay on another year however because of my monumental ****-up in AS, but with my 'real' year group especially in 6th form there was a big divide that was evident to pretty much everybody - there was one really big group of the preppy, good looking and stupidly popular people who always did everything around school so some were real arse-licking do-gooders, and don't get me wrong I didn't have a major problem with them and got on with them fine, it's just a shame because half of them used to be my friends in middle school...then there was the group I hung around with, the outcasts from the big group if you will, which was a big group in itself and they were all great people. Then of course you had the stragglers hanging on to both groups and the loners sat in the corners doing sod all.

Quote from DeadWolfBones :

If the donor countries are the ones who exploited the third-world countries and helped transform them into the warlord-dominated hellholes they are today, they have some sort of debt to repay. That much is obvious.

But we living now in this modern age shouldn't feel the need to apologise or pay reparations for something which was deemed perfectly socially and morally acceptable back then, which brought benefits (however questionable they may seem now) not just for us evil westerners but also benefitted those living in a 'third world' country

Quote from Shotglass :

regardless of climate and environment i think its a good idea to pay money to countries we ****ed over and still do **** over

They happen to be less fortunate than us but instead of jabbering on about how we screwed them over in the dim and distant past we now have to look to the mostly tyrannical, at the very least selfish leaders of countries in question (African countries for example). Any money we give them will have to be carefully monitored to ensure it doesn't end up procuring a large amount of arms or just shoring up a tinpot dictatorship for a few more years, with the added bonuses of a brand new fleet of shiny Mercedes for the dictator and his associates to ride around in.

Lots of smaller countries are jumping on the bandwagon trying to show how they will either all drown or starve or freeze or be left out or forgotten if the climate changes drastically, but it has been proven that, for instance, the Maldives are not ever going to be totally underwater, at least not in the conceivable future by using any predictions which are watertight (excuse the pun).

Quote from SamH :

Scientists do generally pride themselves on the distinction between science and religion - Galilean principles, in other words - and anything that blurs that distinction (faith without proof of AGW) will be regarded as a top priority to address.

it's a shame that certain media outlets and organisations have chosen to ignore that

oh bloody hell

Quote from garph :

I'm glad you're not a judge.

I don't like the look of him, his eyes are too close together............kill him!

tongue-in-cheek post

no really, I'm glad she was found guilty the evidence was against her, right decision made

She looked like a cold-hearted remorseless killer

I'll come along now if my connection isn't too laggy
