Yes true, I am being facetious. In better news, that comment garnered an emoji from Phil Bowman!! Got that warm glow back, like being hugged by a cup of piping hot cocoa >3

Still no word from Kamala? Nothing to thank the thousands of campaigners who have worked tirelessly to advance her agenda or congratulating her opposition. Glad that she's the complete opposite of Trump and is taking defeat so graciously and in an adult-like manner.

Christ.... can imagine you believed Boris when he said inflation was down to global factors. Poster writes that inflation factors in a country have nothing to do with the person running that country.... right after calling people stupid. Brilliant brilliant stuff.

Exactly, hence my earlier posts. If you're telling me the world will end, I expect robust detail. If you don't have that, your viewpoint is statistically insignificant. I of course welcome all opinions, but presenting something as a fact with no backing, not so much

But that's not how challenge works. If you express an extreme opinion and admonish, belittle, degrade, discredit and demean others for voting Trump, on a daily basis btw, expect to be challenged on it. Surely if you are telling people the world will end, you can't get defensive when someone asks you exactly how and why? Challenge happened many times on the covid thread and also to Tom G on the budget thread, despite him having years of experience in a small business!!!! You have actively made a decision to put yourself above the parapet and you are aiming to influence people, not me. My own position has been made clear throughout, I am base case on both candidates because Harris presented little to no detail on what she would do and I believe Trump is so dumb he will fulfil none of his pledges.

The burden of proof is not on me in this case. I am not predicting Trump means the end of the world and I am not demeaning anyone for their democratic vote. As it stands and alongside my own work, the dearth of hard info from either side does not precipitate a material change in my impact assessment. That is mainly because I expect Trump to fulfil none of his pledges. As stated, you have developed an incredibly strong stance on a candidate, have been telling us the world will end and are belittling nearly 70m people for their vote. And it seems you have done little to back that up with publicly available info. If you have the inclination to do the above on a daily basis, I'd expect you'd have the inclination to do some simple calcs. As I keep asking, If I am wrong, pls let me know.

Yep, you have no idea what the globally approved baseline of reporting metrics & targets is do you LOL.

To gather a position as strong as yours, speak about it frequently online and try to convince people that you're right whilst demeaning others for voting for burger man, I'd expect at least some factual backing to it. And to gain that backing is extremely easy in the information age with all data publicly available. If we can put together a 100+ page deck on a climate impact for a private company with limited mgt info, you can easily gather substantive data to support your view that Harris is a messiah and Trump is evil. You see so many online talking about issues they simply don't know anything about. For example, I wouldn't dream of going into multiple threads on this site and telling people what to do whilst predicting the end of the world, because I don't have a clue. I expressed an opinion on UK uni's with a proviso that I could be wrong. I assumed you had at the minimum done a scenario analysis on Harris v Trump to back up such a strong stance. You have been on this thread saying on a daily basis that Trump will end the world with such fervour, expect to be asked for some support for that. It is ok to have a moderate stance and opinion btw.

Point 1, metrics and targets against the global baseline to prove that point pls. There's plenty of publicly available data out there, which I guess you've gathered your viewpoint from? There's more than enough climate disinformation on this thread and alarmists telling people the world will end.

Harris v Trump** Freudian slip. I've already deleted Orangeman out of my mind!!

Maybe it's the accountant in me coming out, but with all the publicly available data out there, to have a position as fervent as yours, speak about it frequently on here and try and influence people to your way of thinking, I'd want some hard evidence to be convinced. The IPCC which you refer to and the IEA have some fantastic free scenario planning tools, you can easily map out the exact effect you think a Harris v Biden policy outlook will have. I think people will be a lot more easily convinced by you if you did that, rather than simply repeating the world will end if Trump comes in and the people who vote for him are bad. We've seen overnight that approach does not work

But what are the consequences. In metrics and targets alongside the globally approved baseline of measurement. How will this affect progress to 2030. How will the next NDC submission change. What will be the change in the national climate impact assessment. Which new climate risks and opportunities will become apparent in the trump term and what is their basis of likelihood. Apologies to keep pushing this but you’re a cool guy and have a very strong position for Harris based mainly on climate. I can’t believe this position has come from empty rhetoric alone. Given the frequency of which you post on climate on this forum alone it’s a fair assumption on my part that you’re not a layman and know your onions.

The ‘polls are misleading’ garbage is very dangerous. As you said, bookies have had his odds against for months now.

And that cop out is where my main annoyance comes from. The Harris campaign did have power. They were responsible for policy and had all the data with regards the last four years. Why didn’t she make her pathway clear. So……..I’ll ask again…….. given she had all the power, knowledge and data, what convinced you that she will make a material difference to climate policy despite not setting out a verified position? Because that’s quite important given how strong your stance is. And what impact do you think trump will have?

On warming? Resilience is more important than adaptation now. The various responsible parties have failed us for generations re climate, it’s too late now. Global Investment in climate risks and opportunities is growing YoY by ~20%. Still searching for any verified evidence, not rhetoric, that Harris will make any material difference to NDCs or global warming goals. Well it’s too late now, she failed to provide any

What did you think Harris would do for warming against globally approved metrics and targets? All well and good saying she understands and supports climate change, but what effect do you actually think she would’ve had on USA NDCs up until 2030, and what do you think trump will do to the scores?

Biden had the externality of covid tbf. Good point on Ted Cruz, unbelievable

Ofc they are hugely responsible. They hold a clear responsibility for not making this perceived and absolute message of doom clearer. History will remember democrat incompetence Our representatives are meant to speak to us, not tell us they’re not the other side and expect votes for it. It’s like going to a board meeting and expecting the board to make a huge decision just because you told them too.

Who would’ve thought running a campaign akin to a year 5 milk captain election, with your main tagline being ‘I’m not trump’, ends in embarrassing failure. People need a reason to vote for you aside from developing fear. Shocking from the dimocrats. All is not lost though as Harris says trump lies about everything and won’t carry out any of his pledges, so the OTT alarmists predicting the end of the world can relax

Whatever happens gonna massively miss writing and reading the same thing multiple times a day on this thread

That's not a dream!!!!! it's an entirely normal goal. Once she smashes a 1st class degree from LSE, she'll be overrun with consulting offers. I would strongly advise you pick up a frivolous and very expensive hobby and ask her to entirely fund it. Keeps these kids honest

Total comp for a half decent IBD or PE associate is above £100k p.a in year 1 now.

Fair play, you are a stone cold killer!!! Amazing work. As I said a bit above, my degree was useful in content for sure, but the professional qualification afterwards were more useful. It was the contacts made that were most important. Obvs I am nowhere near good enough to do a Harvard MBA, but I'd gladly pay $200k a year to do one just for the people you meet.

The entire future fate of Izzy daughter rests on Muzzy_no7 dictating which courses are worth it or not. This is not a time for calm you masochist !!!
