Warrants its own thread imo

Agree, it's a bit of a game theory conundrum to be honest. And of course the most selfish but best outcome (at least in the short term) for many countries would be if other countries reduce their emissions without them reducing theirs, so there is an additional free-rider problem. Added to that that governing parties terms usually last a shorter period than it would take to feel significant negative climate impacts (at least in high emitting countries), although there is at least now significant evidence around the importance and magnitude of the impacts of climate change. There are simple (I agree) solutions, but they require a level of collaboration that politics makes very difficult, particularly given the uneven distribution of benefits of fossil fuel usage and costs of climate change.

and on that note, I'm going 6 0 win.

If we win tonight can we redo the form analysis to prove how stupid extrapolating based on a tiny sample size is. Buuut buuut Leeds are surely the best team in the world.

To be fair COP1 was 28 years ago! But agree, you would have hoped this kind of wording would have been made shortly after the Paris agreement and would subsequently be strengthened. I do think it is very difficult though, particularly managing: i) less developed countries with fossil fuel resources who feel like they are once again being unfairly treated by developed countries who often already used exploitation of resources to develop. ii) trying to get developed countries to voluntarily (financially) support less developed countries to either forego fossil fuel revenues or to adapt to the impacts of climate change that (primarily) developed countries have caused. iii) rich countries with high O&G revenues who rightly see climate progress as against their current 'business model'. I think with all of these it is really difficult to see how the current approach to climate progress will get us anywhere near 2 degrees, never mind 1.5.

Agree with this and also think it pushes us to play better having a team neck and neck with us. I hope we finish top with record points but hope Ipswich push us right to the end.

Can't we get the table out where leeds are the best team in the world thoo

You lot are class, definitely should be where you are

This is such an utterly bizarre comment

To be fair they could have just stopped oil

Is this common knowledge? I'm literally gobsmacked

Genuinely excellent thread haha

I saw them in Troxy in London the week before last. So good. Took my girlfriend who didn't know post-rock or EITS and she loved it.

'Israel went to lengths' - they send people a text saying we're going to flatten your house, despite the fact they've got rid of electricity and signal in Palestine. Sweet

The silent majority. Suella stands for them

Pep will have made something new by then!

Definitely caramel wafer. I don't even like caramel.

That may be true but the fact a number (probably majority) of people vote for party leaders (and refer to this in election coverage regularly) means that while technically you are correct, most people feel like Prime Ministers have no mandate until they have gone to the polls. I don't get why people have to try and quote the specifics of British democracy, most people understand it its just not how they feel it works in practice.

Wouldn't that be the easiest way to research it? Just look at numbers of small mammals before and after controlling for other factors.

I think I have a similar view of it as you but I'd be slightly surprised if he doesn't get done for it. I think he meant to hurt him (not injure and definitely not kill). Everyone I have spoken to who knows anything about the sport says there is no reason to have your foot that high, and he has previous for being a bit of a weapon (as do a shit load of other ice hockey players). I think it's a landmark case because although it's very unlucky he clearly does mean to hit him hard. I think with that being a given it'd be difficult to say he's not guilty. Maybe I don't understand the law though!

Isn't this missing the points you are responding to?

British Empire was evil tho tbf and anyone who disagrees is a fascist

Been playing the finals beta. Absolutely hilarious fps well worth a go

I'm not talking about that example I just find the whole thing kind of ironic. I find the whole news story hilarious, and that is from someone largely left-wing pro-Palestinian etc. But I just saw it and laughed rather than being frustrated about it.
