What is it with useful idiots & 20 year time spans.

Here we have another one telling us how bad the "new normal", another Catchphrase, will be in 20 years.

Guess they expect to be forgiven or forgotten for getting it completely wrong, as usual, after 20 years.

HASBEEN has been spanked for this 20 year myth of his before.

He started a whole thread on his 20 year schtick here.

Steele Redux had the patience to find Hasbeen's (non-linked to, why is that we wonder? Wink wink!) 'study' from 20 years ago, and it was OBVIOUSLY exploring the implications of the EXTREME edges of possibility, not the majority middle opinion.

EG: “The purpose of this report is to imagine the unthinkable – to push the boundaries of current research on climate change so we may better understand the potential implications on United States national security. We have interviewed leading climate change scientists, conducted additional research, and reviewed several iterations of the scenario with these experts. The scientists support this project, but caution that the scenario depicted is extreme in two fundamental ways. First, they suggest the occurrences we outline would most likely happen in a few regions, rather than on globally. Second, they say the magnitude of the event may be considerably smaller.”

Hasbeen's memory has been impacted by some traumatic event, otherwise he might remember SteeleRedux comprehensively CLOBBERING his claims. But Deniers — such short memories, hey? Such Hasbeens?

Allison, I spent the first 15 years of my life on tank water and several years since without any filters or bug killers despite the odd bird droppings on the roof or dead possum actually in the tank. It just helped to improve my immune system.

Good on you. I have also lived on tank water both hear and the UK. Unfortunately, when you have gentle sensitive luvies who live in cities, you have to cater for their purist demands, after all only expensive desalinated (and character-less) water is good enough for their sensitive palates.

ps, to paraphrase that old saying goes "You can lead them to water(recycled or rainwater)… but you can't force them to drink"!

Still can't link to the science Allison? Got it!
