I wonder what the Far Right opinion is in relation to this immigrant medic?

None ofQuote from: Last Man on April 19, 2024, 04:17:29 PMThe NHS was never envisaged to deal with the levels of chronic disease we currently see. T2D, Cardiovascular disease, various cancers all on the up. All the polititions can offer is we need more money for doctors and nurses. How about asking why are we all so sick?
We are all old. With advanced age comes more illness. The population is aging. By 2037 1 in 12 people will be over 65.

Sounds a bit Joe Rogan tbh.
Quote from: Milltown Row2 on April 17, 2024, 09:31:23 AMIs your heating timer 2 channel i.e. separate buttons for HW and heating? If so there is a motorised valve somewhere. If your copper cylinder is upstairs it usually would be prioritised by convection (along with the upstairs rads) unless your motorised valve is foobarred which seems most likely at this stage.Quote from: Last Man on April 17, 2024, 09:18:58 AMSo you have heat in the rads but no HW?
Aye, rads pumping hot, The boiler in fairness hasn't had a check up in a few years, some parts were replaced a while back, was just looking a quick temp fix till I get someone to have a quick assessment on it, she's said someone might call this evening but I'll not hold my breath

Related and unrelated at the same time but mate took his kids on the train to Dublin on Sunday. Said it was full of youngsters, heading to a festival. Loud, drunk, scantily clad etc. Went to get the train home in the afternoon, said the train was a f**king mess, piss, vomit, drink spilt everywhere. Got straight off before it left and got a taxi home.
Public transport is a joke. We need private vehicles.
I have already stated the issues with EVs.
We need our diesel vehicles. And while Neymar fly's around the world, in the worlds largest private plane, I'll keep my big jeep and more and more people think the same. Until governments give us workable solutions this will remain the case. People's attitudes are changing and it isn't towards tree hugging.
Quote from: J70 on August 23, 2023, 11:54:58 AMYes maybe we might consider what we have been doing as a species for 100's possibly 1000's of years, innovate to mitigate. Rather than just sitting wringing hands watching the place burn.Quote from: Itchy on August 22, 2023, 12:30:52 PMQuote from: J70 on August 22, 2023, 12:12:12 PMQuote from: Itchy on August 22, 2023, 09:50:34 AMQuote from: Eamonnca1 on August 21, 2023, 06:34:09 PMQuote from: Itchy on August 21, 2023, 05:28:32 PMQuote from: Eamonnca1 on August 21, 2023, 04:58:08 PM
Satellite Data Record Shows Climate Change's Impact on Fires
Hot and dry. These are the watchwords for large fires. While every fire needs a spark to ignite and fuel to burn, the hot and dry conditions in the atmosphere determine the likelihood of a fire starting, its intensity and the speed at which it spreads. Over the past several decades, as the world has increasingly warmed, so has its potential to burn.
Since 1880, the world has warmed by 1.9 degrees Fahrenheit (1.09 degrees Celsius), with the five warmest years on record occurring in the last five years. Since the 1980s, the wildfire season has lengthened across a quarter of the world's vegetated surface, and in some places like California, fire has become nearly a year-round risk. The year 2018 was California's worst wildfire season on record, on the heels of a devasting 2017 fire season. In 2019, wildfires have already burned 2.5 million acres in Alaska in an extreme fire season driven by high temperatures, which have also led to massive fires in Siberia.
Full article.
What data has the satellite produced which shows forest fires are linked to climate change. This is the crap that gives every conspiracy but in the world an argument. The data from a satellite may show warming, it may show more fires but does it show a link between both?
So the increase in wildfires and the increase in global average temperatures are just a coincidence then?
Coincidence, two facts that are not linked - whatever you are having yourself. Going around linking everything and its mother to climate change does incredible damage to the argument for less burning off fossil fuels, moving to sustainable energy etc as the doubters will continue to doubt. Next thing we will have people linking increased sightings of UFOs to Climate change!
Jaysus Itchy, you're sitting on a goldmine there and you don't know it. There are plenty of right think tanks and donors out there dying to feed money to mouthpieces who will "prove" the lack of links between climate change and wildfires, severe weather, drought etc etc. You can be the new guy (singular) who Fox News wheels out because they don't have many options among scientists who are pretty much unanimous that increasingly severe wildfires are at least partly down to climate change.
And this argument some lads are throwing around here about arson?
So what? Arson, carelessness, a rim hitting a curb, or a lightning strike -what's the difference? The issue is that once they start, they very rapidly burn out of control consuming everything and anything that is in their path and cause massive destruction due to the conditions humans have created through climate change, habitat destruction, invasive species spread, poor management and building in unsuitable areas.
The key word is "partly" in your post. How much of the increase in fires are the due to climate change. What are the other factors because I am hearing none being presented in media and yet on here we all know fires are being started deliberately. Are all fire started by vandals or is there farmers doing it too (there certainly are in Ireland) What if one of the other contributing causes can be addressed more quickly than climate change? Why are we not having media inform us about this? It seems if you ask a question or point out something that goes against this new cult you will be metaphorically be burned at the stake. And I believe that Climate Change is real and man made by the way before you accuse me of being a conspiracy theorist.
All these contributing factors are part of the same problem, i.e. the incompatibility of the demands of modern humans with the overall environment. Climate change, habitat destruction, invasive species spread etc. all have the same root cause and they all interact in various ways to increasingly impact humans ourselves through the effects of wildfires, extreme weather events, pollution, water availability and so on.
As for the specific ignition cause, again, so what? I'm not saying any arsonist should not be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law for homicide and destruction of property and made a massive example of. But in the larger scheme it's fairly irrelevant. Sooner or later something is going to create the spark. The tinder box is sitting there waiting for the inferno to happen.
Hopefully in at least some cases, the tinderbox can be mitigated through invasive species removal, thinning, controls on building and, where possible, controlled burn programs. Unfortunately, the droughts appear to be baked in for good at this point, pardon the pun.
