    Was there not a hilarious, and rather furious, argument between Jack Charlton and some officials about water breaks? I seem to recall that.

    ****ing Americans hosting ****ing world cups. Once was bad enough. Twice is taking the piss.....

      Not even just US, Canada & Mexico as well, so all 3 get a pass.

          True, is Carlos Vela still going? The master of a beautiful finish when the team was already 4-0 up

            He retired just a few weeks ago.
            "Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.

            "But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."

                If the hottest recorded temperature on Earth is 56.7?C (134?F), and occurred at Furnace Creek, Death Valley, California, on July 10, 1913 - What exactly was going on that year? I don't recall hearing about some arsehole glueing themselves to the floor to stop the horse and carts passing by.
                Other clubs never came into my thoughts once I knew Arsenal wanted to sign me.

                    I notice it?s raining this morning with temperatures back to the low 20?s for a while. Does this man the climate grifters can stop w?nking into their socks and let the rest of us get on with summer ?

                      Surely the whole point is whether there is a gradual and consistent shift upward in average temperatures. And apparently there is.

                      The worsening extremes are not the evidence. They are, at best, symptoms.

                        UHIE, more concrete. higher temperatures.....no coincidence the "record" temps are all taken at airports. Having been around for over 50 years, I can't say I notice any difference. Plus what is the 'right' temperature? Was considerably warmer in the middle ages.

                          Up here was nice yesterday, only 23C, down to 18C today and looking the same plus rain for the next week.

                            I am afraid it is too complicated for me....

                            Yesterday was ****ing hot, and I could do without it. That much I do know

                            I also know that every solution to climate change seems to involve me having to pay more for something, and that money generally going to people I would consider to be c*nts.

                              Have you any idea what the temp is in Paris atm? My mate says it's boiling over there in the '30s. They've had to leave all the parks open, closed schools and the top of the Eiffel Tower. Closed a nuke power station cos the river used to cool it was so hot. High 30s in the south of France.

                              In Spain it's up to 46C, that's like Delhi before monsoon comes. Wild fires in Turkey. And the heat bubble in western Europe is moving eastwards with Germany and Czech about to be hit.

                              When I was on the Gilets Jaunes protests in Paris before Covid, it was 19C in Feb and we were walking on the marches in tee-shirts. And as someone who lived off and on in Paris between '93 and '05, this really wasn't normal.

                              And I don't know about the middle ages, but in the early modern period and after, between 1607 and 1814, the Thames froze over for ice fairs seven times. In the winter of 1962-63, the Thames estuary was frozen in Herne Bay near us in Margate. You could walk out over the sea for a mile and more, by all accounts.

                              All the feedback loops that were predicted when I started studying this in the '90s {reading James Lovelock and the like} are coming to pass - the melting ice gaps raising temps so the forests {Amazon, Siberia, Canada etc} burn releasing more CO2 , causing the tundra permafrost in Canada and Siberia to melt, releasing CO2 and methane, all of which have happened. The next result will be the release of methane where the sub-sea oceanic plates meet - which we are starting to see - releasing loads more methane.

                              The last time that happened was the final part of a 6C rise that saw the Permian mass extinction 252m years ago, which saw 90% of marine species and 70% of land vertebrates go extinct.

                              It's all coming to pass. We live in the age of Kali Yug and we're all gonna be wiped out. I hope the cats take over.

                              We have 1bn years before the sun expands and boils off all the oceans. But that's more than enough time for intelligent life to evolve again - after all, the dinosaurs only went 65m years ago.

                              Here were those changes predicted in a 2007 book called Six Degrees:



                              Have a gander and see what was predicted and compare with what we've been seeing happen in the last decade or so.
