Sorry, cohenite, but I've seen you taken apart enough times by "real" scientists on this forum to know you're just strutting your stuff.

I know a whole lot of people think you know what you're talking about regarding climate science...

......but I'm not one of them : )

Governments trying to scare us with false stories about foreign terrorists ........

Governments promoting notions of imminent climatic disaster .........

Hmmmm .......

Could there possibly be some sort of indirect connection, some common intention of striking fear into our hearts ?

Or is one a genuine concern, and the other not ?

Which to choose - and on what basis ? Ideology or science ?

It's such a complicated world - it's so much easier to do the wounded goose act and divert attention from one to the other.....

I mentioned 1800 attacks by fundamentalist Islamists/Salafists/al Qaida etc. since 2001.

To which one can add, from just this weekend,

* two suicide bombings in Afghanistan, killing around twenty;

* the burning down of a hundred houses of Christians in Pakistan (well, it serves them right, doesn't it, Poirot, Christians shouldn't be IN Pakistan, even if they pre-date Muslims);

* the execution of a number of Western hostages by al-Ansar in Nigeria.

Of course, it IS possible that the CIA was behind each of these 'provocations' - that the local people don't have the wits to do these sorts of vile things themselves,

and that Islam is really a religion of peace.

Really ?

Cheers,

Joe

"...well it serves them right, doesn't it Poirot..."

You are a puerile and provocative little man, Loudmouth.

Cheers

Actually I'm 5ft 9in, about average height. But you've got the rest right.

Am I allowed to suggest that, from a combination of my fevered imagination and your comments, I assume you are a very attractive, feisty, brunette, with two beautiful kids ? Probably left-handed ?

Now, back to topic ......

Not left-handed.
