Re: Climate change causing major nutrient loss in vegetables

By the way, if you think a couple of degrees warmer is a catastrophe, wait till you experience a glaciation.... :D https://i.ibb.co/YTtbM86/interglacials.jpg No human will experience a glaciation. Humans have decisively interrupted that process. The current time is not an inter-glacial. The Pleisto...

Re: What do you think would happen if something similar to covid turns up in the near future?

The peak weeks of the year for influenza and other viral diseases in the UK are typically from week 43 to week 13.

I think that may include March.

Oh yes, we should trust NATO, that organ of peace that is only ever dragged into conflicts by (insert latest bogyman here).

Re: Climate change causing major nutrient loss in vegetables

Next up will be "climate change causes cancer/Covid19/insert bogyman of choice here". There are far more prosaic hypotheses for explaining why nutrient levels in vegetables have dropped significantly over the course of the twentieth and twenty first century. 1) Industrial farming methods l...

Re: Ukraine Watch...

The BBC is showing video of the men in court. They all appear badly beaten. The BBC is reporting about the leaked videos of their interrogations which show them being tortured. Is the BBC just some guy on the internet? Of course we only have Russia's word that these are the right men. The BBC is th...

Re: What do you think would happen if something similar to covid turns up in the near future?

These are very specific, biologically material statements/assertions Got any material evidence for them you'd like to share? I got covid badly, then again a year later somewhat similarly. Since the first bout I was never really free of it. It hits the immune system in a way that one finds it hard t...

Re: Ukraine Watch...

I have not seen an uptick in reports of Russians torturing Ukrainians. We are all just some guy on the internet. The closest I have ever got to Ukraine was the Polish border about 20 years ago. We all have to chose which sources to believe about events outside our direct experience. I have travelle...

Re: Ukraine Watch...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moEVXr_X-mI This guy is fairly even handed and has been reporting on the war from the start. Obviously he pro Ukrainian but is not above calling out Ukraine when then overstep the rules of war. (Remembering the rules were only written after WW2). So, someone on the i...

Re: Ukraine Watch...

Russia seems determined to blame Ukraine regardless of the evidence. IS has posted a video supposedly showing the attackers talking about their plans, but with faces obscured. Russia claims to have captured all 4 attackers. There are reports of online of videos showing the suspects being tortured. ...

Re: Ukraine Watch...

Islamic State have claimed responsibility. This is certainly their style, but they often claim other people's attacks if they are brutal and vicious enough. The Russian PM has laid the suggestion that it might have been Ukraine, right on cue. He has signalled retribution against the purpetretors AN...

Re: What do you think would happen if something similar to covid turns up in the near future?

Just 2 quick points of information: 'Herd immunity' is not a thing in the case of a disease like Covid19, where re-infections can occur after just a few months. Worse still, the re-infections don't appear to be any milder than 1st-infections - in fact if anything the effect seems to be cumulative. ...

Re: Ukraine Watch...

IS are a US construct. Quite possibly directly. Almost certainly indirectly.
