" If climate change gets out of hand, that will be impossible."

Notwithstanding the human race has thrived through far more extremes than anything today.

But one thing. On a planetary scale, the human race has no measurable impact. Algae blooms release methane per year in orders of magnitude of the sum total of all fossil fuel burning - the CO2 balance is maintained by photosynthesis.

It is easy to make people believe all sorts of ill effects when they are blinkered to their own horizon, but this is a very big planet with most of it covered in water. Human perception is easily distorted which explains why there is such intense diversion away from real science in the climate claims. The physics and maths can not be forced to work, something doesn't add up.

If you want to protect earth, stop all carbon capture schemes and never let them develop. They may well cause a cascade reduction in CO2 via carbon cycle feedback mechanisms and life on earth is actually killed off proper.

last word on this off topic.. the declaration;

"Climate science should be less political, while climate policies should be more scientific. In particular, scientists should emphasize that their modeling output is not the result of magic: computer models are human-made. What comes out is fully dependent on what theoreticians and programmers have put in: hypotheses, assumptions, relationships, parameterizations, stability constraints, etc. Unfortunately, in mainstream climate science most of this input is undeclared.

To believe the outcome of a climate model is to believe what the model makers have put in. This is precisely the problem of today’s climate discussion to which climate models are central. Climate science has degenerated into a discussion based on beliefs, not on sound self-critical science. We should free ourselves from the naïve belief in immature climate models. In future, climate research must give significantly more emphasis to empirical science."

"You may think climate change is a lie but more dont believe that backed up with data."

What data? There are worldwide calls this 'data' to be made available for independent scrutiny. It is constantly refused and the small core of so called scientists that make the claims never allow outside scrutiny. It is one of the main reasons o many involved in the sciences are being increasingly sceptical and more and more openly questioning even the most fundamental claims. There is no grand open discussion which has iterated to the so called consensus. There is a very closed community relying on an overt political mission to prevent proper analysis and scrutiny.

Of course, you will find lots of counter sites claiming to debunk in some way such petitions. That is par for the course where real open discussion is heavily suppressed. But the lie is being probed and challenged on many platforms and the more the autocrats in the west try to stop free discussion, the more they underline the claim there has been a massive deception and lie.

It's a little like Putin and his war propaganda. Internally in Russia people fed years of the lie can't conceive of any other narrative. But externally, more rationale and real world reporting shows a better truth. Slowly but surely this truth leaks through until the real truth can not be denied - and the blame game starts like it has begun inside Russia at the moment. In science, there were few able to speak truths. But slowly the truth is leaking through. Media lie the BBC will inevitably have to accept the truths and of course they will blame everybody but themselves for perpetuating the mass fraud.

Certainly the west is in the grip of a Marxist doctrine applied through the climate change lie. Just look at the shock horror response to a 'growth' mini budget from the climate lobby. Democracy will not be returned to the west until candidates are free to openly question the lies and full open dialogue on the biggest fraud ever is opened up. Check out the Global Warming Policy Foundation and Net Zero Watch. Just one week of their email alerts and you'll be astonished at the revelations about the extent of the lie and thereby understand the extent of the media cover up and how big the lie has now become. Nobody ever thought our free democratic societies could be taken over in such a way. But that is hat has happened.

Is the impending surrender of Russian troops all over Ukraine upsetting our pro Putin posters? Back to abusing the reporting button again?

Exactly, you heard it from the horses mouth.

Predictive text, if only Shakespeare had had it...

There is something almost poetic in the language used. And, how nice to see hard nosed socialists paying so much attention to their grammar and punctuation.

"Ultimately, the social layers that the imperialist powers base themselves on in their regime change operation are the same social layers that the oligarchic Putin regime is based on as well: the oligarchy, the state and military apparatus and layers of the upper middle class.

Like the Putin regime itself, its opponents in the ruling class and state have emerged out of the Stalinist reaction against the October revolution which culminated in the restoration of capitalism and destruction of the Soviet Union in 1991. While the liberal opposition is advocating a direct alignment with US imperialism, they share with the Putin regime a deep-rooted fear and hatred of the working class.

Workers must respond to this immense crisis and the war by developing their own, independent opposition to the Putin regime. This requires unequivocal opposition to the machinations of the imperialist powers and their proxies in the Russian oligarchy and state apparatus, and the building of a socialist leadership in the working class, that is, a Russian section of the International Committee of the Fourth International. "

Wen the socialist workers are pushing for regime change in Russia, against the same rhetoric of the Putin regime themselves, you know the games up.

Just waiting now for the generals (the 1 star generals according to the Socialists here) to call it a day.

Let's all pretend there wasn't a RNS this morning. Let's all pretend it had no meaning. Let's all pretend there are no consequences. Let's all pretend there is nothing questionable about what is going on.

Let's all pretend shall we?

it is noticeable by the absence of comment that the RNS this morning is awkward. Is the idea that not even acknowledging it means people will just erase it and the implications from their minds.

You have successfully drawn more attention to it by trying to ignore it! That nudge theory working out again? lol

"Why polymetal has to deal the with West? "

Because the 'west' has invested a huge amount of money and expertise to make POLY happen and helped facilitate the ability of the business to make international financial transactions and gold sales.

The company will rapidly find out just how near impossible it is to conduct affairs globally within an isolated micro economy, especially comprising of mostly third world nations. Good luck with insurance underwriters if you don't want anything to do with the west, or the City in particular.

More children murdered by Russian forces pulled from rubble following indiscriminate bombing of residential areas.

And some out there seriously think any aspect of relations with Russia, in business, trade, sport, culture and in everything else will some how be restored in short order like nothing has happened.

Just look at the exodus out of Russia at the start. Now consider the known state terrorism and child murdering, raping, executions, total destruction and torture the dirty Russian clowns have used against totally innocent people.

There will be no restoration of relations with Russia and Russians themselves who pointedly failed to demonstrate and campaign to stop Putin, clearly the latest reincarnation of Hitler himself.

Many post here how wonderful the board of POLY is and how they are looking out for the best interests of shareholders. Like hell they are. It is clear there is a faction doing what they can to stop the split, stop any true democratic free vote on a split, and instead keep POLY shackled to a dirty filthy regime - guilt by association. But then again, that is Russian writ large. Very dodgy people to do business with pre war. NOW?

You can't get more toxic than Russia today. Even the Taliban have more morals than Russians.

"The above times and/or dates may be subject to further change by the Company and in the event of any such change, the revised times and/or dates will be notified to Shareholders by an announcement through a Regulatory Information Service."

So, first extend the application time to try and manipulate more to convert to potential simpler proxy voting shares and if that doesn't happen just keep extending it???

And this also indicates the anti-split faction manoeuvring seeking to push back any future vote on a spit proposal by extending the conversion as far as possible since the split vote won't be gong ahead while a certification process is going ahead.

It indicates that there is still people around who, quite unbelievably, still seem to think that there is going to amazing magic restoration of Russia and it's international relations to pre-war and that all the current anger is just some sort of imagined propaganda that will evaporate within days. Total delusion. Complete delusion. In fact that expectation is just madness.

"Now we have the dodo from the other shoulder…."

Looking out now for street protesters who are not challenged by FSB and instead stand off.
