I just want to say to Phil that as much I beg to differ with your Warming Schorming schtick I still think you are a sound guy and apologies if I was a bit shitty up-thread.

Don't feel too sorry for him - I see that avatar and my jealousy knows no bounds. The Bay Area is one fantastic place (until it's flooded, of course )

Yes, I have to say that it did stand out in stark contrast to my humility and politeness didn't it ?? I wasn't offended by anything you said, nor from the post that called me a smug f*cker, because he was spot-on. In fact, I just went back and liked it. I could go on, and will with just one more comment to GT below, but back to off topic next. Maybe I'll write up a little tutorial as to the myriad of reasons why the conjecture didn't work out as advertised.

Don't feel too sorry for him - I see that avatar and my jealousy knows no bounds. The Bay Area is one fantastic place (until it's flooded, of course ) You find out all kinds of interesting things when you look at the actual data. I've been curious about the water levels on the San Francisco Bay recently. I used to photograph wading birds and I'll be damned, I was sure that sea levels have fallen in the 30-odd years I've been here. The mud flats at low tide are way more prominent, and it's not due to rising land or less dredging, as it turns out. Sea levels have in fact been falling off the West Coast here. Strange but true. Anyway, I'm done here. Off for a swift half of creme-de-menthe in the Lounge.

ram.. get a 'paper' written on the after effects of crème de menthe..stick some barfing graphs on it and tables about how long after the taste remains etc and you too could end up with phil doing complicated things in America..
'Crème De Menthe and its effects on Climate Change'...there is a Doctorate with your name on it...

I'm in the 'we've been conned' camp on this issue. Will do, and maybe we'll be able to discuss it over another beer at Canalside ? It's Thanksgiving here tomorrow and somebody else is cooking, so I'll get to goof off for two days. I'll put something in Off topic, starting out with some more colloquial discussion of the science and its perversion then, if people are interested in getting into more specific science, I'll get in deeper. Look for something before the end of this weekend. Cheers

You need to know that the more beers I drink, the more sense I talk! Colloquial sounds good for me. Enjoy the goofing off (lovely expression but sounds rude to us Brits!)

hope he fights them tooth and nail.. go to the court of human rights, freedom of expression and the 'right' to be able to explain what you said and the context in how it was said.. rather than just being a 'racist' because groups in this country are 'looking' to be appalled about absolutely anything to justify their existence and to further their 'pernicious and divisive influences'..

Spot on 2400. I'm fed up of everyone getting 'offended' and reading things into every last comment made. What ever happened to 'sticks and stones''?

It's as well Whelan didn't also rubbish AGW and the climate warmists...he'd be hanging from a gibbet by now.

His 23 year old Grandson who is replacing him will have his work cut out he's very young for such a responsible job

Fair play to Dave Whelan. I know it's all gone to pot this season but he's done a terrific job while Wigan has been under his ownership and achieved a great deal for the people who support Wigan Athletic in what is and will always be a Rugby League Town.
Football Club's need more owners like Dave Whelan and while characters like Vincent Tann try to claim moral high ground over him, well I struggle to understand how.

They've had a hell of a run under whelan. Promotions through the leagues then 8 yrs in top flight including FA cup win and resulting Europa games. I dread to think how much you'd have to spend to achieve that now even if you took on one of the better Lg 2 sides.

Is it a Wigan version of The Apprentice? Will the grandson rename them "Focus" and walk around with his phone on speaker looking like a dick???
