Just read the latest post from an anthropogenic climate change denier, claiming that the rise in CO2 is not the cause of climate change.
Checked the bio, and he claimed to be a "Philosopher, working primarily in logic".
You have to laugh.... or cry!

Built to be evaded: why Australia’s and the UK’s social media bans were broken before they began | MediaTaylor https://buff.ly/HblTYhZ < Australia’s eSafety Commission’s recent report states that roughly 70% of under-16s are still using the banned platforms.
Useful analysis.
Trump's insistence that the algal bloom in the Reflecting Poll is due to vandalism seems to be true.
Apparently some idiot ripped out the new filtration system installed during Obama's refurbishment of the area, and sprayed blue paint everywhere!
Tonight was about watching "The Darkest Hour" followed by the World Cup.
At least Germany only won the second....

We should all be grateful to the crypto-millionaire Christopher Harborne who gave grifter Farage that £5million.
Thanks to him, Farage is now not only not seen in Clacton, he's not seen on the BBC, or indeed anywhere at all where he may be asked questions.
Money well spent....

A brilliant session on AI, superbly chaired by Dr Nic Ponsford, alone made the cross London trip to the SAS Show worthwhile. If only all such panels were as well-balanced, well-informed, and articulate.
On my way to London ExCeL for today's Schools & Academies Show.
An interesting title, almost implying academies aren't really schools? Harking back to an era when many teachers resented their arrival on the scene?
How the Donald sees himself, compared to how the rest of us see him?
Maybe his next move will be to walk across the Strait of Hormuz?
After his posting of this image, and his attack on the Pope, I'm wondering how the American US Christian Right are now viewing his presidency?
Not Trump's week. Hungarians are delighted that the visit of J.D.Vance to support Viktor Orban helped ensure that Orban was defeated in a neck and neck election, by dropping his vote by 3%+. How will Trump now apologise to his hero Putin for this strategic failure?
The Art of the Deal is how to win a war while leaving the enemy in a stronger strategic position than they were when you started it.
Everyone's happy!
(Except the US taxpayers who lost billions, the many who lost lives or loved ones, and most of the world.)
Do we really want to see the King being sent to visit a foul-mouthed war criminal?
That's not diplomacy, it's complicity.
Time the grey suits at the palace thought again...
If a US President wanted to be a dictator, he would:
- talk up a 3rd term
- ignore Congress
- stack the judiciary
- sack opposing army generals
- pardon criminals that would fight for him
- ignore rules-based order
- set up a militia
So far, so bad.
Think on, America
Middle East crisis: Trump uses expletive-ridden social media post to threaten Iran’s infrastructure https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2026/apr/05/middle-east-crisis-live-iran-israel-us-war-trump-strait-hormuz-missing-pilot-downed < what happens when you sack 12 generals, and then have to resort to war crimes after not listening to them, but to a news anchorman you made Sec. of War!
Who says Americans are self-centred and inward-looking? 😄
“And we literally have planes flying over Tehran and other parts of their country; they can’t do a thing about it,”
The ever-reliable Donald Trump demonstrating his firm grasp of military strategy and logistics as Commander in Chief yesterday
Turns out that all these American chatbots closely resemble Trump political appointments.
It is really REALLY difficult to train them not to be sycophantic, stopping them always agreeing with you, and paying you unnecessary compliments.
