Bruce if you buy that co2 is the devil even though we are totally dependent on it then the only option is nuclear power. Or we could just use coal fire power stations like the Chinese are doing. We have our idiotic bio fuel variant here and think it's virtuous destroying natural habitat for power. Not only idiotic but making electricity damn well expensive.

The pont stands however we get our carbon from plants they get it from co2. To demonise co2 through radiative forcing theory(ridiculous interaction terms in overfitted models) is frankly the most bizarre thing the left has done since the invention of communism.

Thats a brilliant point poker which is why it's far better to minimise use of natural habitat that is entirely separate to burning fossil fuel and releasing co2. Moreover green policies are increasing demand for farm land not reducing it. Thinking bio fuels, solar farms as well as the farm land use to farm flax etc. If we revert to fossil fuels we can turn alot of land back to its natural state.

Richard co2 is plant food and carbon every atom in your body come from carbon plants extracted from co2. You are part of the carbon cycle. C3 plants are basically carbon starved at 400ppm when they evolved there was 4000ppm in the atmosphere. Only a select few plants are c4 photosynthesers, like maize etc and flourish in the low carbon atmosphere of the present. One thing is for sure burning fossil fuels and releasing co2 prolongs life on earth and isn't destroying the planet since we are all here because of the miracle of photosynthesis. All plants die at 150ppm as will all life on earth, co2 has steadily declined from 5000ppm at the Cambrian. If plants had a vote they'd be thanking each one of us every time we drive a car.

You are like a bad news prophet. I'm just surprised we aren't headed back to Victorian times in your view. The future will be better than the past if we can see off green hysteria about plant food, it has been so since the start of the industrial revolution. Yes there are bumps in the road like communism, fascism and the latest variant so called environmentalism.

You are being ridiculously pessimistic. The general trend in global growth is up and that will almost certainly continue.

I sold luxort. Saying it would drop. Hardly a genius given brexit. Perfectly obvious to sell on results and wait for 130 in October.

I'm not ignoring the question. Brexit hasn't been agreed yet so obviously bank sp will be suppressed. Which is why you are sat on a 45% loss. Hard cheese.

And as for this the West Indies played the best chin music if anyine. They bowled all day every day like Archer and no team stood a prayer. Plus they had some amazing batsmen too. If you didn't lose by an innings to that team it was a feat. They didn't lose a test match hardly for around 20 odd years.

Quite right Bruce. I think it was also done pre war ww1 by the Aussies too. The whole fuss over body line was stuff and nonsense, analysis has shown Larwood was bowling bouncers at 89/90mph. So slightly quicker than Stuart broad but slower than Archer. He was also only 5 6 so far easier to play than a taller quick. The whole fuss by the Aussies was absurd and given the barrage by lily and thomo in the 70s (which the Aussies lapped up) utterly hypocritical. Douglas Jardine was a great man who bought a professional approach to a hopelessly amateur sport, brain dead idiots like plum Warner were the remainers of their day (let's play the gent and lose).

We need a Bob Geldof for plant life.

Dovish as in printing lots of money?

I think trump is a chump but so has every president been since George Bush 1, but not nearly as bad as the brutal Chinese leader who wants to squash Hong kong. Things in the world have improved enormously in spite of this in the last 30 years. The pessimism from the bad news industry is absurd.

You are right Nuri but the world of Twitter is shares are priced with a view of about 3 months. Of course medium term if we don't become a Marxist state this is a good price.

An excellent Dick Emmmery reference Bruce. Honky tonk wasnt it.

Agree with a that calisto but should the "they are F..." be replaced by a C?

Abbot, McDonell and Corbyn to the rescue. Dream team. I'm a convert.

Poker you are on good form.
