| 1. Author: wee eck Date: Wed 23rd Apr 2025. 14:54 This might be a debate worth seeing - Adrian Ramsay, the Green party co-leader, has challenged Nigel Farage, the Reform UK leader, to a debate on the climate crisis. Responding to Farage’s Today programme interview in which Farage made several false or questionable claims, Ramsay said: `Nigel Farage is a performer, a con artist. He will say or do anything. He will happily dance to a populist tune regardless of its impact. Let’s not forget he’s bankrolled by fossil fuel interests, climate deniers, and major polluters – taking in £2.3m since the 2019 election. This morning’s performance suggested he hasn’t got the slightest grasp of even the most basic climate science. But I think it’s worse than that. He understands all too well human-made climate change, but he is willing to pretend he doesn’t and stand in the way of climate action for his party’s populist agenda. If he really does believe what he says, let’s see if his ridiculous rhetoric stands up to actual scrutiny – let’s see if he is prepared to take part in an hour-long TV debate about climate change and the challenge of reaching net zero?` Post Edited (Wed 23 Apr 17:12) Reply |

Author: Bletchley_Par Date: Wed 23rd Apr 2025. 17:17 Happening now...pumping seawater to a facility, storing it (till the end of time presumably) then adding loads of chemicals to the water to make it more alkali then pumping it back into rivers and streams. And like every carbon capture scam the world over it uses more carbon than it captures.  Post Edited (Wed 23 Apr 17:24) Reply |

Author: Bletchley_Par Date: Wed 23rd Apr 2025. 17:52 Jones was 5 years behind "The Science". https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/pmc2842049/ [b]Abstract (March 2010) The herbicide atrazine is one of the most commonly applied pesticides in the world. As a result, atrazine is the most commonly detected pesticide contaminant of ground, surface, and drinking water. Atrazine is also a potent endocrine disruptor that is active at low, ecologically relevant concentrations. Previous studies showed that atrazine adversely affects amphibian larval development. The present study demonstrates the reproductive consequences of atrazine exposure in adult amphibians. Atrazine-exposed males were both demasculinized (chemically castrated) and completely feminized as adults. Ten percent of the exposed genetic males developed into functional females that copulated with unexposed males and produced viable eggs. Atrazine-exposed males suffered from depressed testosterone, decreased breeding gland size, demasculinized/feminized laryngeal development, suppressed mating behavior, reduced spermatogenesis, and decreased fertility. These data are consistent with effects of atrazine observed in other vertebrate classes. The present findings exemplify the role that atrazine and other endocrine-disrupting pesticides likely play in global amphibian declines.

| 11. Author: wee eck Date: Thu 24th Apr 2025. 15:55 Farage is now spreading disinformation about autism, saying it is over-diagnosed by GPs, when one of the problems is that it takes so long to get a diagnosis as all potential cases are referred to consultants. Reply |
| 12. Author: ipswichpar Date: Thu 24th Apr 2025. 17:29 It`s hard to tell if he has misspoke or it has been wrongly reported. If the point is that demand of cases referred to consultants is out of line with the supply of neurologists then I`d agree. The delays locally are over 12 months for an NHS neurologist. And given the volume of under 18s being referred, that`s an awful long time for them to have this unknown hanging over them. Reply |

| 15. Author: wee eck Date: Thu 24th Apr 2025. 18:57 Everybody quoted in that article seems to accept that climate change is happening. What`s your point? Reply |
| 16. Author: Bletchley_Par Date: Thu 24th Apr 2025. 19:04 Topic Originator: wee eck The point is that blocking the sun to combat the climate scam is happening. The first article I posted you tried to say it was an April fool joke....that`s how bonkers you think it is. Another poster claimed it was "just a hypothesis that would likely never be used" he then tried to deflect by posting something about gay frogs. Reply |
| 17. Author: Wotsit Date: Thu 24th Apr 2025. 19:18 Autism diagnosis has increased, but the number of autistic people is just the same. People just know now. Many people now suspect why their grandad found eye contact difficult and always snuck off to his shed when visitors came bye. Others understand why their Mum`s cousin Jimmy spent his life alone with no friends and an extensive comic collection. They know why their pal`s granny was obsessed with the Bay City Rollers until she died in 1997. Folk didn`t used to be diagnosed with cancer at the levels they are now either, presumably Farage isn`t going to claim that cancer is being over-diagnosed? The enemy travels by private jet, not by dinghy. Reply |
| 18. Author: Bletchley_Par Date: Thu 24th Apr 2025. 19:28 Topic Originator: Wotsit And herein lies the problem... People exhibiting those behaviours you mention (including me) does not mean they are autistic. All those behaviours can be exhibited by people who have non-clinically significant traits in the cluster B area of personality disorders (which autism is NOT part of) and even people who do not. So people with cluster b traits (which is pretty much everyone) who do not have personality disorders as confirmed through clinical testing are being lazily defined as autistic. Reply |
| 19. Author: jake89 Date: Thu 24th Apr 2025. 21:03 It`s the same with so many things. Diagnosis is simply better now. I work with someone who was tested for dyslexia in school 30 odd years ago. She is 100% dyslexic but the test said she wasn`t. Same happened with my wife who was tested and told she wasn`t yet got assessed as an adult and found she was, which she already knew as she had all the typical attributes. All these bellends on X giving it "we didn`t have autism in my day" yet you DID have "Weird uncle Frank" who had an obsession with model trains. Reply |
| 20. Author: Dave_1885 Date: Thu 24th Apr 2025. 23:04 My daughter shows every sign and symptom of ADHD, all day, everyday. Without going to a doctor or her nursery staff I can tell you she has it. I know this because there is plenty of information out there on the internet regarding the signs of it. Thats the difference between now and 30 years ago. Information is readily available for the masses to access. The issue comes when people try to pedal utter nonsense to make it look like we are being controlled by the Rothschilds. Also, blocking out the sun wont stop the planet getting warmer - it would just create increased weather issues. But these “chemtrail” theorists are absolute lunatics 😂 who are easily debunked on a nice day. Reply |
