That the emphasis and reliance upon fossil fuels is likely to significantly change within the next few years and as pointed out to you, the cherry picked snapshot is not indicative of the big picture. There are already many months in which zero-carbon sources produced more energy than fossil-fuels. It simply tells you that the UK’s energy could be 100% green by the end of 2030, because we actually do have the capability and technology to replace the 1,297 TWh of non-renewable energy the UK uses. Do I think that this is realistic? no, of course not, it would require huge investment, political will, private sector investment and the assurance that the UK’s 28 million households are availed with the necessary technology to harness this green energy, partially by stopping high costs from preventing people from getting on board. However, the UK will continue to make significant inroads towards the realisation of a net zero strategy, which I am confident will be achievable by 2050 and in the meantime this will spell a growing decreased dependence upon carbon sources. I also want to emphasis that 2050 is likely too late. We don't have that much time. No one is claiming that it is "black and white". Remember, the purpose of a lockdown is to contain spread. Your claim that "lockdowns" don't work was absolutely incorrect. What you have also demonstrated however is that you still, years later, fail to understand cherry picking and confirmation bias in addition to opinion pieces masquerading as fact."Peer reviewed academic study"? Let me help you here - the IEA is the diametric opposite of the "think tank" that it purports to be and recently lost a lost a two-year legal battle over allegations that it is a “hard-right lobby group”. It is nothing more than an alt right lobbying machine. Given that you are clearly still easily bamboozled and susceptible such sources, I would as you sensibly suggested, be more than happy for you to take this over to the Covid thread and address each of the links that you have provided. You are absolutely correct that we shouldn't derail this thread.

So you missed the entire point of the data whilst proceeding to post a link to the Daily Express? Perhaps that explains why several years ago you brazenly proclaimed, contrary to the entire body of epidemiological evidence, that it has been scientifically proven that lockdowns during highly contagious viral epidemics "don't work"?

The ascent (and capture) footage was the best yet - magnificent. Shame about the "upper-stage anomaly". The debris falling back to Earth was spectacular at least. SpaceX's production cadence is absolutely nuts. They have a 'rocket garden' consisting of a "stable of hardware" and are nearing completion of the 1 million sq.ft star factory that will facilitate the manufacture of hundreds of boosters and ships a year. The problem that resulted in the destruction of Starship appears to be a recurrent one and a repeat of an issue last observed in March 2024, so it will be eradicated. Looking forward to Flight 8.

Close. The one on the right.

I can assure you that you are wrong on one count.

You may well have hit on why I didn't genius

That makes it all the clearer then.

If you read my post again, you'll hopefully realise that I was being sarcastic, and that I am in full agreement with you. And yes. you should absolutely ask how they know this and you were correct to do so.

Does it matter? It's the internet and it's Foxes Talk, when was substantiation ever important?...people are already all over it as a supposed statement of fact.

Great contributor although, like you, I found some of his worldviews were questionable and to cock. Somewhat of a pedant too. Once had a very protracted debate over the origin and application of the term 'jingoism'. He could be very sage like on occasions and his erudition was manifest. In spite of this, I bet he wouldn't know who, what was it?, Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury are either.

I try not to contribute to threads on subjects that I have absolutely no idea about unless it involves football. However, on this occasion I'm contributing purely because I'm pleased to say, I have absolutely no idea who these people are.

They couldn't continue to call themselves Jefferson Starship, since the last remaining founder member of Jefferson Airplane Paul Kantner took legal action over using the name when he left the band in 1984. So you could contend they became irrelevant then despite their highly irritating hit single the following year.

Well it certainly wasn't him this time...

Correct, although obviously a sub orbital trajectory and they will follow Starship down into the Indian ocean. Yes, in terms of the catch, although successfully done, this was aborted during the last flight. This year, they plan to 'catch' Starship itself.

After the partial success of New Glenn for Blue Origin earlier this morning, the launch of Starship Super Heavy Fight 7 is scheduled for later today @ 5 p.m. EST (2200 GMT). SpaceX are stepping up the pace this year and today's flight will likely be the first of many for Starship in 2025. They plan to make serious progress on the megarocket in the coming weeks and months with increasingly ambitious objectives.

Actually, given the vast size of the cosmos the overwhelming probability is that alien lifeforms, and sentient beings (not simply single celled organisms) absolutely do exist - it's just vanishingly unlikely that they ever have or ever will visit this planet throughout our civilisation or its existence.

Perhaps we should start a 'Populist Opinion' thread or simply move this to the 'Tin Foil Hat' one.

Damn! Dweezil is such a technician -and on his Dad's SG. The solo here is outrageous.

We've always been a Woyo type of club.

Also, from what I have gathered this morning an arsonist was arrested in association with a newer blaze, the Kenneth fire, which was unrelated to Palisades and Eaton. And to reiterate again, irrespective of how these fires started, the lethal conditions and circumstances allowing such a rapid spread have been stoked by climate change. Last summer a friend sent me this... This was in El Monte, East LA. These are Sonoran desert temperatures, not suburban LA.

The entire LA basin is parched. In most areas there has been zero rainfall since last May. The Santa Ana winds are a very hot dry katabatic Föhn effect, which originating in the hot dry desert interior of high pressure systems in the American West as warm desert air, migrates south and west into southern California, where it is forced over the the Sierra Nevada mountains shedding most of what little moisture it has and blasts down to the coast having descended over the mountains. As the air sinks, it dries further and accelerates in speed. Wind speeds can also be increased as they funnel through the canyons, valleys and gorges north and east of LA. It's like a bellows effect, compressing, therefore heating and channeling the air then fanning the flames. The Santa Ana event occurs during the cooler months, usually October - May, possible two or three events a season and typically last a couple of days Yes, LA County is susceptible to fire due to its physical geography, topography and location. What is unprecedented here however is the sustained wind speed, the duration and the extent. The advance, spread and speed of this is terrifying. I have friends all over LA and one has lost half his roof to the wind alone. 70 - 90 mph has been recorded and it's threatening metropolitan areas that have previously been unscathed. So yes, climate change. It doesn't matter whether the conflagrations were caused by arsonists, a discarded cigarette, or even, as can happen, a lightning strike, due to the tinderbox conditions of the oily, dry chaparral vegetation - it's like tossing a lit match onto petrol and it only takes a small flame or a spark. Whether the ability to respond to this known hazard, which over the years has been exacerbated by rapid climate change has been hampered by negligence and betrayed by politicians is another matter and we will obtain a greater picture during subsequent enquiries.
