I'll be going to live in Chile probably between late April and early June, the closer it gets to that date the less interested I get in dating, activism, or starting any other new thing or meeting new people generally. Still waiting to Animal Rising to reply to my message of some days ago.....

I did try and join up with animal rights and similar organizations, and environmental organizations and animal sanctuaries in Chile. But typically they would just ignore me and not reply to my messages or say they would call me back but never do. In one case I went to the actual office and...

I told her over the phone before I met her that I would be leaving the country after some months, and she said she was up for casual, but she changed her mind later. I don't like facebook much, but it is big in Chile. There is a vegetarians and vegans group for my local small town, and once a...

I went on a dating app called Veggly in November and I managed to meet someone great straight away. However, after two dates, she decided not to see me again because I'm planning to leave the UK again this year and go back to Chile. After that, it was slow going, because there are so few people...

I wish I could just magically make appear some of the things that I read on this thread. I've been in the UK for some months for a very long visit (which is probably why I haven't posted since I've been too busy) although I will go back to Chile at some point Lately I've been having Breakfast...

That's positive news. Not sure about tipping point but hope I'm wrong.

This seems like a good development Lou.

What is gross is people that flush and then walk out. The last thing you do has to be look in the bowl and make sure it's clean.

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/sep/11/robert-reich-third-party-candidates-will-help-trump-win I agree with this one. No left-wing third party candidates please. No-one should run as a third party candidate unless they´re pretty sure that they won´t help Trump. The UK...

Hi Graeme, It's weird how you mix good, accurate knowledge (like the fact that energy storage on the grids is very small and mostly used for arbitrage) with totally wrong comments about fossil fuels in the grid that all experts have disagreed with for years. It's true that geothermal isn't...

North America and Australia have reduced emissions but are still higher than China per person. The fact that they were even higher in the past does that make that better. This focus on who is currently reducing, and who is currently increasing, while ignoring the total historical emissions makes...

You make various points here, with which some I agree, some I disagree, and some I´m not sure. But here above I quote 2 points where I am pretty sure you are not right. It is coal, oil and gas that require resource extraction and constant replacement. If you build a coal plant that lasts 30...

I think that video Lou is a bit doomist. Firstly, the person, who I think is a fictional character in a TV series, exaggerates the negative effects of climate change for a given amount of emissions. Secondly, it says it´s too late to act which is not true. Well Graeme in your latest comments...

"For example, changes to high altitude cloud responses to ship tracks in the Atlantic has contributed to a warming of the Atlantic. This is still a human-induced change, but is it directly down to CO2 emissions?" No, this is not about CO2. The sulphur was creating a cooling effect, and they...

Yes, climate change leads to more dry periods that is clear scientific consensus. True, can´t attribute to individual events but it´s clear that climate change makes things worse overall. Sea level is more a future problem as rises so far have been small. Even if emissions are zero, ice may...

How to stop Trump: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/sep/06/election-2024-beginning-how-to-stop-trump You can all help The bullet points in the second half of the article are the parts I wanted to draw your attention to

by the way I´m not saying fires in California are down, that was just an imagined made up argument, the kind of thing a denier would say. I don´t know what the trend is there, but the point is it doesn´t matter.

One denier tactics is to focus in on one aspect: Scientists say greenhouse gases have increased the strength of hurricanes, flooding, sea level rise, the amount of fires, are killing the coral reefs, spreading disease, leading to famine, crops failing, water shortaes etc etc etc And then...

I think Lou's comment to "look out the window" is broadly valid because I think what he means is in the past scientists were saying that such effects of climate change will happen in the future or, to the extent that they already happened, had only led to smaller increases in droughts, fires...

Polls and bettings odds still show Biden neck and neck in a hypothetical matchup with Trump
