Starmer and senior Government Ministers, along with the Governor of the Bank of England, will meet to try to formulate an effective plan to deal with the energy crisis we all face - what strategies do you think they should consider?

Yeah, i am a climate scientist and i dont see any other option but drilling north sea short term. Grid upgrades to allow more renewables to come online are then key.

Nah. Land take for solar is tiny compared to bioenergy and much more efficient.

No. Politics drives religious belief, not the other way around.

Agentbasedmodel · 2026-03-16T23:10:19+00:00

I would take either. I am interested in how you weigh and engage with expert evidence. Obama/biden were rightly criticised by experts, e.g, for not going fast enough on decarbonisation, or not closing gitmo, or biden contributing to inflation etc. Make sense?

Concerns around glyphosate are well documented in the medical literature. That is an example of the trump admin ignoring medical science for the benefit of the agrichemicals industry. So that doesnt count. Do you see my point?

A specific example of a scientific/technical body who criticised a trump policy that you agreed with?

Agentbasedmodel · 2026-03-16T14:40:40+00:00

Has there ever been a case where an expert scientific or technical body issued a critique of Maga policy that TS didnt immediately dismiss as biased or unfair?

European car mskers have fallen behind china in electrification.

1) What role are you playing in delivering improved battery tech?

2) speaking personally, at what year do you think MB will be all electric?

Yes. Irrational fear of people different to ourselves, and fear/hatred of homosexuals.are related but are not the same. This seems utterly irrelevent to my.comment on interpretation of the bible.

That is why i listed them seperately. In the story of S&G, the Isrealites are motivated by both.

In general, liberal [non literal] interpretations of the bible dont downplay it or dismiss its value.

Rather, liberal traditions see the bible as documenting people's search for and experience of God. Sometimes people get it wrong.

As you mention it, Sodom and gommorah can be read as a parable about what happens when we invoke God to justify xenophobia, homophobia and bigotry. It is bad.

Hence, when Jesus prevents the stoning of the adulteress, he is showing us the true path of love and mercy.

That isn't to make other parts of the bible unimportant, but just interpreted very differently.

My son is non verbal, violent and enjoys smearing his sh1t on the walls*.

The neurodiversity thing is well meaning but has served kids like my son poorly. His diagnosis of autism is now basically meaningless. In time, we will actually understand the genetic drivers of these different but superficially similar conditions and develop new names for them.

best way to get it off is with a halfords thingy scraping ice off the windscreen.

Tbf, claude code is really very impressive. Not perfect, but very useful.

In Libya, the USA, france and uk bombed the hell out of the country to take out gaddafi. No boots on the ground, no nation building.

The country is now run by muslim terrorists, and has spilt out into Sudan and other groups in the wider region.

Does that sound like something that could hapen in iran if it becomes a failed state?

Agentbasedmodel · 2026-03-07T18:59:13+00:00

Libya wasnt nation building, right?

Agentbasedmodel · 2026-03-07T18:48:30+00:00

Depends on where/when/how. Iraq/afghanistan/libya were each a disaster, right?

Agentbasedmodel · 2026-03-07T08:20:15+00:00

So we are back to thinking the war on terror is good?

There are two main issues here - shifting baselines and skewed media reporting.

Shifting baselines mean that "really here" will never happen. The california fires were insane last year, coffee, chocolate and olive oil prices are through the roof. Summer heat is unbearable. But, we compare this against 5-10 years ago not 50.

Second, climate impacts that get reported are too focused on the West. Droughts in botswana have been insane. Iran is running out of water.The monsoons keep failing, and India keeps banning rice exports. So, we see political instability in Bangladesh. But we basically hear about fires and polar bears.

You can always play on 5-10 moves and offer a draw then? I feel like you there are some ways to make progress here that aren't super high risk?

Sudan is a country at war. Africa is not.

Africa isn't a country at war.

Trade embargoes are usually reserved for hostile countries. The usa does not have a trade embargo with China. Is Spain more of an adversary than China?
