I've been following up on this, posted on another thread. According to some reports, hydroelectric can release more greenhouse gases than fossil fuels. Especially in tropical climates, where most of the planned renewables will be hydro. It's a bit depressing...

Cyclists often seem to think pedestrians will just get out of their way on the footpath. I know a cyclist who ended up in the canal when a pedestrian didn't budge on the towpath. But on a general point, what if a cyclist ran over a pedestrian and caused serious injury. Would that ever be...

Which part of unlawful act manslaughter are you thinking of here. Are you meaning as regards making out the elements of the offence of common assault?

We have a pretty good balance here regarding protests. Somewhere between China and France. I wonder whether these right wing snowflakes objected to the fuel protests in the early 2000s?

I've got the judgment now. This case is utterly shocking. The defendant was failed at every level, by the prosecution, the defence and the judge. The Court of Appeal agrees with what I had posted earlier i.e. the relevant offence would have been common assault. It is not just that the...

The carbon dioxide we produce first goes into the atmosphere. Then, very slowly, over more than a century, it is absorbed by the oceans and the trees.

It's not hard to tell. We have a pretty good idea about how much carbon dioxide is due to human activity, in one form or another. When instrument measurements began in 1958 it was 315ppm, by 2002 it was 365ppm, now it's 425ppm. I don't get the point you are making about increased population. Do...

Do you agree that the measurements taken with instruments (over the past 60+ years) are accurate?

I've tried before. Never found any. Are you saying the current measurements of carbon dioxide levels might be wrong?

Where do you think all the carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels has gone, if not into the atmosphere?

Examples?

Remember to join the extractor hood to the vent pipe.

It is massively hypocritical. And it also distracts from the much more important discussion to be had about the science. Lots of people still claim global warming is all a con, but sometimes go quiet when asked to go into specifics. A couple of days ago you and I were having a decent...

There's certainly a lot of hypocrisy. But how does that alter the facts or the science?

And that the above was the unlawful act which could lead to manslaughter.
