  1. 20mins to get something, don't expect subs till the 87th minute though
  2. We will come out in the second half after an inspirational talk from Lambert and take charge of this game..................if only!
  3. This has been one of the worst displays I have seen by any team in the premier league, dreadful display
  4. We look far worse creatively than what Reading did last year, that is some achievement
  5. 33% possession is horrendous, hope we start to click at some point
  6. What is the game plan, I wonder what Lambert set up this team to do
  7. It's almost believable that is serious, as it's constructed with remarkable similarities to the ones the 'real' sceptics use
  8. If spurs fans are anything like some of ours their forums will be saying that that second half was dire, that they couldn't string 3/4 passes together and had no creativity. They'll then be questioning whether AVB is the right man!! Then again there'll be others who won't see it like that, like me for Villa
  9. If that had been against villa with the match poised in the same manner I would be fuming, totally ruined Chelsea's dominance and good play I hope AVB comes out and gives a version of the speech that Mourinho gave after Chelsea's game against us. As for the second yellow? Torres and Vermaelen have been kicking lumps out of each other all afternoon. For all we know the ref has given it for persistent fouling. I didn't think it was a foul at all though, more 50/50
  10. That was never in a million years a second yellow, another celebrity ref making a mockery out of the sport
  11. Man City are the only team that can deny Chelsea the league, when they are fired up like in this second half they're a level up on spurs
  12. Chelsea looking great at set pieces this season
  13. Whenever there's a big story there's always conspiracy theories, whether it's Diana's death, man on the moon, reasons for war etc. People love a good fantasy, but really the massive weight of evidence that has been critically reviewed can't be disputed whoever funds these scientists.
  14. Some people like to stick their head in the sand, it's by far the easiest option. It's very fortunate that scientists exist, people who are inquisitive for hard facts.
  15. Attempting to discredit another person's opinion devalues your own opinion. Monckton is however the public face of CFACT, an organisation that does include scientists and climatologists. Well the letter that he wrote really hasn't anything useful in it. Who came up with the 95% figure? He has a point there, but the scientists did not come up with it. I don't care really about the 95%, who does? Clearly he does but I don't see what he is getting at with writing such a long winded letter over such a trivial thing. Why did you even include the link for that letter as it isn't countering any of the science behind global warming
  16. This 95% figure is based on a show of hands, and nothing at all to do with scientific evidence. I suggest reading this letter by Lord Christopher Monckton of Brenchley which he sent to the IPCC this week: What has this individuals opinions got to do with the findings of the scientific community, other than knowing he's got a good grasp of statistics it doesn't really show anything
  17. You need to read the article yourself, answers your own questions. This reminds me when people say, 'we've had cold weather in the last few winters'. Makes me laugh that people think climate change is as simple as just the weather getting warmer. Global warming is the average global temperature getting warmer. For some areas the warming may not be a smooth ride, in fact it may get colder before continuing to become warmer, modelling on Western Europe for example predicts an initial cooling lasting for a few decades caused as a result of the ocean currents being cut off that has until now brought warming Caribbean water to our shores. However this effect will be temporary only. The ocean currents will be altered as a result of the Arctic melting
  18. Imagine if the scientists of our country were really well incentivised to go out and create world leading green technologies, that would be a huge boost for our economy as we would have an export that the whole world would want if it was efficient. I agree with you, if we as a country got it right, it would be win win.
  19. I didn't think there was a debate though It was always a scientist says global warning is melting the ice caps and anyone that doesn't agree is then "deluded" ( same with the disappearing rain forest debate , but No lets all listen to Sting ) then a few more scientist came up with evidence that maybe suggested it wasn't ALL man made and suddenly public opinion had moved to more of a not sure stance and then today we get this new statement after it appears the proportion of people who believe human activity is making the world warmer has fallen from 55% in 2008 to 39% in 2013. and yet you accuse the oil companies and Fox of acting in their own interest with the data ?? I heard today an expert saying about the ice caps melt and water will rise by xx inches .... now maybe my logic is flawed but the ice caps have already displaced the water and thus when they melt the water level will remain the same ( well actually it would drop slightly ) .. drop some ice cubes in a glass of coke and try it on a smaller scale ..maybe oceans are different , salt content and so forth .. maybe Brian Cox can tell me I've said before when we've had this debate , that if man kind can do it's bit to not kill polar bears by melting his home then we should do it .. however what happens is the UK sticks a policy in place to go green , charges consumers a Green tax and the price of everything goes up ..meanwhile India and China increase their cheap and polluting production and everyone in the UK goes off and buys the cheaper product from those countries anyway ..whilst feeling good that they care about the environment (I'm sure anyone that watched top gear has seen how the Prius is made and how wasteful the production is for a "Green" car ) it's like the EU and the NHS .. there is a good debate to be had ..been when the first contribution is to call people deluded .. well it isn't gonna happen is it The rise in sea level is for two reasons, both not to do with the floating ice which as you correctly noticed displaces no more than it's sunken volume once it melts. The two contributing factors are the ice sheets on land, particularly the Antarctic and Greenland, the second reason is the fact that warm water takes up greater volume than cold water and when all the water in the world is warmed by even a small amount the difference in volume is noticeable by an increase in sea level. The term deluded wasn't used as an insult by me, just the fact I believe some people are trying to justify their argument in a debate without any informed knowledge.
