    It's been around for a while, it's sort of blended into the whole chem trails and HAARP nonsense. It's circular and these people often react to whatever global event is happening and then put out the kind of reasoning you'd hear from Dr Evil in Austin Powers. Besides, if the government was manipulating the weather, why would ours choose the ****test weather on the planet? The government of Eritrea be like "yeah, we'll go for another drought again this year."

    Remember #savethechildren? The idea being that there were children being trafficked for "adrenochrome" by East Coast elites in underground tunnels in order to sustain a blood ritual to the demi god Baal? They got bored of that pretty quickly, but that's the grift; hype up outrage, get clicks and views on monetised videos, they make money off these rubes. Number of children saved by that movement? Zero. The number of complaints from actual anti-CSE charities and support networks being blocked from doing their jobs by these morons? More than zero.

    I’ve currently got two staff in Dubai for the whole week for meetings and a conference. The weather has indeed been ridiculous and only in the last day or so have they even been able to get about, and the slowly. I told them they have to get a weeks worth of meetings into 2 days!

    That is compounded by a number of other factors, including of the trees that survive, many are non-indigenous, which means the local flora and fauna that rely on the woodland for their survival can't exist with them, and their numbers decline too. It's been asked of some local initiatives if they are environmental solutions or tree museums, as they do not support local wildlife.

    Counter-intuitively, if they are planted in the wrong place, trees can also have a negative impact on local air quality, by their own emissions or by limiting air flow.

    Another thing worth looking into, is how they actually calculate carbon emissions. It is laughably weak and prone to abuse. Carbon neutral can be achieved with some judicious strokes of the pen to reassign the emission factors, or by simply removing the activity from the inventory by passing its ownership to other parties. Both would appear to reduce so called 'carbon' emissions with nothing changing in reality, which if you look at the science, is the wrong term anyway as carbon on it's own does not impact the climate. If you doubt that, ignoring their extraction, consider how much impact eliminating diamonds would have.

    It's going to be absolutely roasting for the next few days to get the average up.

    Well unless the world ends, that's clearly bollocks. It may be a crap one, but I'd bet my house summer will occur. <cheers>
