QUOTE (Turin Machine @ Feb 9 2017, 02:12 AM) "A former business minister diagnosed with cancer has left hospital to vote for the government's Brexit bill.Conservative Nick Boles, who is undergoing chemotherapy for a tumour in his head, said he felt "pretty grim" but he wanted to "represent my constituents" in Grantham and Stamford. His constituents are represented bby a brainless idiot - if this were going to be a close vote there might have been some excuse for this idiotic behaviour, but not in this case. Still if it kills him it would at least give them a chance of electing someone with a bit more common sense.

QUOTE (Turin Machine @ Feb 9 2017, 02:12 AM) Meanwhile in other news, a spokesman for the shadow home secretary has said "Ms Abbott has been recommended to the hospital at the end of the yellow brick rd where the chief surgeon known as the 'wizard' is quoted as saying "if I can give the tin man a heart and the scarecrow a brain, I'm sure I can give Ms Abbot a spine. This reporter for one certainly hopes so! Goodnight. Way to represent your constituents. Go you!

QUOTE (Andy Capp @ Feb 22 2017, 06:29 AM) Decided yes. Scientificly proven it's man made; no. See for example here. Scientifically proven that AGW is real, yes. Of course that doesn't mean that AGW is real because other data may yet emerge that contradict it and other theories may yet emerge to better explain all of what's observed - Newton was actually wrong about gravity though his theory was still good enough to land men on the moon - but there is a clear consensus amongst scientists that AGW is real.

QUOTE (Turin Machine @ Feb 22 2017, 10:30 PM) Ah, scientific proof. Like Cold Dark Matter, we can't see it, we can't detect it but its there, because it fits a theory" Bit like the theory that Bumblebees can't fly. pseudoscience. I don't think its rocket science to realise that human beings are f**king the planet up. Global warming is real. Science proves it. Though they dont help themselves sometimes by doctering data.

Like Cold Dark Matter, we can't see it, we can't detect it but its there, because it fits a theory" Bit like the theory that Bumblebees can't fly. pseudoscience. You can't see air, or magnetism, or radio waves, or neutrinos, or time, but you'd agree they all exist? It's the same with dark matter. General Relativity was spectacularly successful at explaining why the orbit of Mercury didn't agree with Newton, it predicted gravitational lensing which astronomers then went away and found, and it explained the creep of atomic clocks in orbiting satellites, so it's reasonable to suppose that for example if the expansion of the observable universe disagrees with GR then the theory isn't wrong it's just predicting something that's not particularly easy to understand and that we hadn't expected to find, so you're wrong about dark matter being undetectable because the accelerating expansion of the universe is giving it away - if GR is right, which it might not be - that's how science works. And of course no scientist would ever suggest that a bumblebee can't fly when you've only got to look and see they can.
