He put it well, I think. Best wishes, 2RM.

Interesting. Experience shows that theocratic governments are entirely incompatible with personal freedom. So be careful what you wish for. But I do agree with you that a simple life is the one most conducive to happy contentment. Fortunately most of us get to experience that in our retirement...

I'll risk it. It's an integrity thing. I will be neither bribed with promises of heaven, nor browbeaten with threats of hell. Just be who I am. Best wishes, 2RM.

And what, precisely, does humidity have to do with green house gas effects? As far as I can make out, the green house effect is caused by the shifting of light wavelengths as they pass into, and then out of, the Earth's atmosphere, the resultant heat being trapped by carbon dioxide, methane, and...

Indeed so. But I am not, by nature, a sheep. And I think goats get an unduly bad press in the Bible. Best wishes, 2RM.

Hmmm. 'H20, the supposed greatest 'greenhouse gas'. Being in sceptical mode, you will need to justfy that assertion for me. So far as I can make out, CO2 is the worst, because we dump so much of it. CH4 is next because although it it is more potent than CO2, we produce less of it. I have not...

If I was being paid, even to post my own opinion, I would have severe doubts in respect of my integrity. But I am not so paid, and have no such doubts. As for 'alarmist', it may be worth discussing alarm, if, as I believe, there is stuff to get alarmed about. Or, one could choose to be a selfish...

Don't put words in my mouth. I am quite capable of speaking the King's English, and, generally, I manage to say what I mean and mean what I say. Best wishes, 2RM.

Wrangler, my dear friend, you do talk rubbish. I suggest you turn off fox news occasionally and tune in to the BBC world service. That way you won't get conspiracy theories, just factual reporting. Best wishes, 2RM.

I have a computer, which I delight in using to talk to people with the same kind of interests as me. But I don't have or need a cell phone or a car. Does that mean you think I am happy with only one third control? If so, I need advise you that if I wanted more I would run for political office...

I think the King will do his utmost to live up to the standards his mother set, and one cannot ask more of an individual than that they do their best. Best wishes, 2RM.

I am sure there are no depraved minds here. But the observation that provoked that thought is that we are mourning our late queen, who shouldered such responsibilities admirably. Even if she did amass wealth others needed more. But we are none of us perfect, and she was perhaps the best we had...

I have long thought that the 'riches of heaven' are no less than the virtues of it's inhabitants. The four cardinal virtues are prudence, fortitude, justice and temperence. The three theological virtues are faith, hope and love. There are many lesser virtues than these. I have two points to...

It all comes down to green house gases in the end. As the earth warms, the ice caps melt, and the surface area changes colour from white to dark, which absorbs yet more heat, instead of reflecting it. Best wishes, 2RM.

Record mean earth temperatures have been recorded for 4 years out of the last 5. It does not take genius, just an open mind, to connect this phenomenon with the most likely cause, which is the atmospheric pollution caused by burning fossil fuels. Furthermore, power generated by renewable sources...

It is in recognition of that fact that scientists no longer talk of global warming, but of climate change. As for stopping it, we could, for example, cease to burn fossil fuels, and move to renewables and nuclear as our sources of energy. Best wishes, 2RM.

Speak for yourself. I can't think of any fate worse than power over, and therefore responsibility for, other people. Best wishes, 2RM.

The 'antihuman' agenda is the agenda that dismisses the science, regardless of consequences, because it simply doesn't like what the science is telling us. The pro human agenda accepts there is a problem and looks for ways to mitigate it before too much damage is done. Best wishes, 2RM.

My personal opinion is that homosexuals are far more likely to get to heaven, having been subject to such hatred down the ages, than many who think it acceptable to persecute them. Best wishes, 2RM.

Thanks. I have already, and observe that though the Bible makes assertions in respect of homosexuality, it nowhere justifies them. And argument by assertion is no argument at all. Best wishes, 2RM.
