That’s Upminster. I go down there every morning on my way to Thorndon country park where I walk my dog.

The question should be
what is wrong with you BAS
as for your other remarks I would take issue with the phrase dribbling
Transam does not dribble

Silly sausage Vimto Is a climate change denier as the planet's climate has always fluctuated in the past.
A sudden 2 deg Fahrenheit rise (accelerating) since the late 19th centuary is nothing. His house will never burn down whilst he's alive so fark em.

The climate fluctuates every day.
Have you ever noticed that july tends to be warmer than January.
Whats going on there.
you're thinking of weather.
Did you notice a solar eclipse last night? A bit after 9pm? Lasted until around 5 this morning?

Life is too short for that sort of thing.
Aren't climate and weather related.
Who is going to pay for this.

Not Clint Eastwood, that's for sure.
It's a stupid idea.
A country cannot be held accountable for slave trade as it was to do with individual enterprise and was not a government owned or backed scheme. Not being illegal does not make it government backed.
They will need to go to the family of those which run such companies and seek compo from them, if they can trace them back.

You act as if you are one of the worlds foremost experts in climatology, atmospheric science etc, so why dont you explain how they are related?

Then we have the Germans and the Japanese + The Italians for WW2. Then the Italians are going to get it again for the Roman invasion of Europe. The Scandinavians have put their hand in their pockets.... and let's not forget the North Africans for the part they played in the played trade. And the Muslim world in all this..
Hardly anybody really understands global temperature and climate change, and that includes the climatologists. Most good ones will tell you that. Part of the problem is dramatic statements made in the past have not come to fruition, and that fuels the non-believers into thinking it doesn't exist at all. Thirty years ago it was predicted that global average temperature would increase by 2 degrees within 20 years. In fact it increased by 0.2 degrees. A big error. Much of the problem is how and what is measured. People get confused between air temperature, surface temperature, sea temperature, sea temperature at depth, very deep sea temperature, and so on.
Weather people always dismiss cold spells which, to non-believers, is having your cake and eating it. You can't say 'global warming' when it's uncharacteristically hot and then say, ahh, that's different, that's the weather', when it's uncharacteristically cold. For 12 or 15 years in the early noughties the average global temperature stayed steady. Hardly any increase at all. The reason is unclear? probably just due to poorly understood vagaries of the global system. But this is a problem because for years climatologists drummed it into us that global warming was a direct response to C02 and because C02 was rising off the scale then temperature would rise with it. But it didn't, and that is more fuel to the non-believers. Ask most people what percentage of C02 in the atmosphere is caused by humans, most will say something like; 50%, 75%, 80%, etc. The vast majority will be above 50%. In fact it's less than 5%. At times lower than 2.5%.
Rising sea levels also a problem. Thirty years ago the Aussies were concerned about rising sea levels so much they set up a monitoring system across Australia and several surrounding islands. Thirty years later dramatic rising sea levels haven't materialised. A report about ten years ago said they detected barely any rise at all. The report didn't say so but it sounded like they were scratching their heads. Meanwhile, some South Pacific islands have virtually disappeared, but it's the Aussie no-show that is fuel for the non-believers.
So the problem with climate change is really about information and how it's presented. Years ago we were told the red light on your telly is causing climate change. It wasn't difficult to think that's a load of rubbish and bin all climate change theories along with it. These days you've got Greta sailing around the World in her yacht telling us we're all going to die if we don't stop travelling. That should do the trick.
