Idiotic Environmental Predictions

[Boat + 1,315]

I bought an old car for $1000 20 years ago. In the bright sun you could see the effects etched in the glass from acid rain. But hey it’s only glass, who cares.

And the EU imposed unreasonable demands, which has made it difficult, if not impossible, for the UK government to follow through on the voters decision.

One man’s dross is another man’s truth!

Last week Juncker pointed out how the "blame game" is being played and you too have fallen for it, forgetting that deals done to date have actually been rejected by UK's Parliament while, on the other hand, the EU has allowed further extensions to Article 50 negotiations.

Because they were awful deals. This isn't rocket science.

And we seem to now have a thread about environmental predictions that's about Brexit, from Mr. 'Stay On Topic'.

You can't write this stuff.

Still no mentions from anyone about the environmental experts' previous predictions I see ...

No wonder it's diverted to Brexit ...

Blaming the victim for an "awful deal" is a cute tactic, but the reality is that Brexit has been a monumental failure of the prevailing British government which failed to understand the consequences of the referendum and has scrambled to gain concessions after the event.

Please re-read your thread to see who introduced "Brexit" and the numerous off-topic comments after that you chose to ignore.

Well there's only one guy still harping on about it.

OilPrice is famous for staying on topic.

Get with the program. 

Less diversions please.

You can look at the history of any topic and find a bunch of mistakes / false predictions.

Look at the history of medicine, much of it was total quackery; but is that going to keep you from going to the doctor when you get sick? Of course not because modern experts learn from the mistakes of the past.

Engineers said flying cars, peak oil, fusion 20 years away, etc.

Then of course all the religious predictions. Abandon all faith!

You are just picking on the environmentalists because it fits this biased forum.

Arguable, health care spending is nuts - almost certainly more than what the right wing is willing to spend on environmental protection - who cares if the world is on fire, we have Viagra!

Been plenty of holy wars. Fights over resources.

Hahaha I'm replying to someone.

Be rude not to.

Chill. 

Also, in the OilPrice rules it states that the starter of the thread can say what they like, but others must stay on topic. 

Enthalpic, no more medicine please.

It was an example of the false idea that previous mistakes mean that the current predictions are wrong.

Brilliant, now we're on Viagra 😂

Gotcha; like the British government's promises on delivering Brexit.

People who make predictions, particularly people who really make an attempt to use the available science, are sometimes wrong altogether, or only in the time frame that they suggest.  They are, however, not actually lying, as seems to be suggested above.

On the other hand, are climate change deniers always accurate?  Do they ever have a motive to lie?  I live in Wyoming and follow energy news and politics and employment issues pretty closely; I'd say that at least here there are  some climate-change, truth-challenged individuals.  I'm sure it's only here, though..... yah right.

Since UK is Brexiting from the EU, the EU Carbon Tax laws do not apply to London, and therefore, London will freeze their butts off in Siberian weather due to Climate Armageddon.

Any thought of giving ISIS Nobel Peace prize........ as a gesture of saying thank you in advance??

There is some absolute dross posted here, so let's just look at your first point, where the UK actually voted to leave the EU, rather than the other way around.

So... you are saying......." EU voted UK to leave EU and then give them hell??"

If that's what you believe was written then your posts make sense, but as it actually said the opposite, your posts make perfect sense.

Science and Climate Politics are really not that difficult.  I'd be happy to go on CNN or Sky News to explain if this is still confusing to anyone.

Just re-read this haha. Too good.
