Man utd. Two nil down at home against Bournemouth. They really are terrible lately.

Edit: Make that three nil down. The fans aren’t pleased.

Bournemouth just had one dissalowed. Still, a proper trouncing for Man U.

Horseshit. Earth from space.
A propaganda piece on climate change.
It's making out it's never snowed in the Sahara desert, facts reveal it's snowed five times in the last forty years.
Apparently we've just had the worst hurricane season ever, try telling that to those who were alive in 17 80.
Switched off now if the lying is a taste of things to come.

One more lie to add to all the other lies told so often that those who utter them begin to believe them: the lie that rich countries care about climate justice. The lie that human rights are separate from climate justice. The lie that the US, Canada, Australia, Norway and the UK are high in ambition, and it’s developing countries that are lacking it.

Rich countries have worked hard to try to get a hollow headline on fossil fuels out of this Cop. They are like emperors with no clothes. The UK, US and the EU not only point-blank refused to discuss cutting their own emissions in line with both fairness and science, but their agreement on “fossil fuel phase-out” has more loopholes than a block of Swiss cheese. It comes without acknowledgment of historical responsibility, or redistribution, or the remaking of a financial system of debt, tax and trade that has been rigged to keep developing countries locked into exploiting resources simply to fill the coffers of rich countries.

It was a bit like the Al gore film where it wasn't based on facts (we all know how the people on here like there facts) If your going to tell lies don't expect people to keep coming back for more.

Do you mean statements made with full knowledge they were untrue or facts given at the time which turned out to be incorrect?

If you say the Sahara has snow as rare as hens teeth and the fact of the matter it's happened five times in the last forty years that to me is a blatant lie.
Along with saying last year was the worst hurricane season on record when 1780 is in the record books as the year. Another blatant lie.
Then you accompany this with all the mood music, then it's time to reach for the controller and put Tom and Jerry on...
What's that Tom and Jerry's not on anymore, why, because..............

There have been three recorded episodes of significant snowfall. The first was recorded in 1979, the second in December of 2016, and the third most recently on January 7, 2018.

Did they mean most destructive or the busiest season on record?

The Google search I did said five and it was the worst hurricane season.
Bugger that Tom, got any with her who used to sweep up in.....oops

"It never rains in the Mojave Desert", they said...bloody well did when we passed through. Only a shower but enough to let you know it was there.
A freak weather event is no evidence to contradict Climate change.

It's the lie that it's never happened before is the issue. We know why they lie but remember the story about the boy who cried wolf, may explain why the BBC is watched in declining numbers.

Were you lying when you said 'five' and i found three events of snowfall in the Sahara - or was your search data different?...or did you choose the one you liked best?

Snowfall in the Sahara desert: an unusual weather phenomenon

In order for snow to form, two distinctive weather properties are needed: cold temperatures and moist air. The Sahara can tick these boxes.

As it says they couldn't record the years before because they didn't have the technology before the 1970s so we could be looking at a significant number of times.

Define 'significant'.
More than ten?

Depends how far you want to back.
If you average it out at 5 every 50 years it's a few if you get down to the 17th century
