Bold claim, especially about causal direction.

Never debate them live, and especially verbally. They are masters of misdirection and obfuscation and smear, and will walk all over you. The format should be written, with adequate time allowed between responses, and hosted/mediated by a genuinely independent third party.

Old wine in new bottles? Where have I heard that before?

If we can get Monbiot interested, that could be quite helpful.

Evidence please, Bristol Uni. Or withdraw the accusations. :devilish:

You arse clowns can't even manage the easy stuff, why would anybody trust you with the hard stuff?

Oh that would soooooooo sweet. Best news in a long long time. Huge thanks to those who organised this. :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

Crawley is getting desperate.

So the point of the SMILE study was...?

I parry your thought about purchasing foils with a slightly furrowed brow in your general direction. Your turn...

I'll take what I can get. :woot:
