You're trying so hard here! I live not too far away from Silverstone, and I've never heard of them

Both tyre wear particles and tailpipe emissions are bad, but if I had to choose between them, I'd choose tyre particles. Tailpipe emissions have more smaller particles - PM2.5 and below, while tyre wear causes larger particles. PM2.5 is linked more definitively to negative health impacts, and death. And you HAPPILY announce any increases in coal use - they're one of the biggest emitters of mercury in the air. It's also funny how you pretend you care about pollution when plastic bag waste increases, you're almost jumping for joy.

Bill was saying that to believe, and regurgitate it here, you'd have to be...never mind. And gas cars weigh nothing, eh?

That would require: (1) understanding of the concept of dividing a number with another, (2) to enable fairer comparisons 1) His ability (or lack of) in maths doesn't really need any further repetition here 2) He doesn't want fair comparisons, he wants unfair comparisons in his favour to make himself feel good

If there was only something we could do to account for that... Maybe we can use some math to find the overall trend! Call it..."averaging". Nah, who am I kidding.

You're quite misinformed about Brent's record of making honest arguments here. And it's not like this is the first time he's done it either. He DOES laugh at the damage, and he's just denying it, and you're also mistaken about how "everyone else knows he's not" exactly because of this. And yes, I do have proof. Go ahead, ask for it.

But you're laughing at the damage. I need to emphasise: you're laughing at the damage. You're not laughing at just the progressives any more. You delight in the damage. You've got serious problems, man. Nah, reality isn't that bad at maths.

No, your "laughing" emoji was literally laughing about plastic waste increasing. Something's gone very wrong in your life that you're acting like a cartoon villain. What next - rolling over laughing if a progressive train driver causes a toxic spill in your town resulting in an environmental disaster? You should try practising that laugh in the mirror. For villains, british accents are also popular, need any help with that?

I meant, using opinion pieces as sources. But yeah, fair point. Brent is the kind of person to even cherry-pick quotes to completely reverse their meaning so he could say he "quoted wikipedia".

So, when was your last visit?

Another opinion piece about a part of the world you barely know. Another thread started, because you got so completely owned on the last one. Mods, can we make it a rule that opinion pieces NEED to be marked clearly as such by the person posting them? Banning them as thread-starting sources would be even better, but I'd settle for just better labelling. This guy keeps misleadingly posting opinion pieces as fact.

Here's my quote from the thread "Missing January Update". Now we know why he has to start new threads instead of just continuing that one...

I already predicted that you'd use this argument. So I said, and you seem to have missed it - an El Niño typically ONLY INCREASES TEMPERATURES BY 0.2C. Last year, the temperature increase was MORE THAN 1.5 I may have to start correcting myself. Not only can you not handle things with two or more variables, you're even having trouble with just one.

Funny, you've spent SO much effort denying that, only to throw all that effort away. Nice, head in the sand time. Let me say this again - I wish you were right and warming isn't a thing (at least some of the time - since you keep changing your arguments). Not least because I love snowsports and it hardly snows in the UK any more. But I'm not the one needing a reality check.

Back to the topic though: Consider a function y = sin(x) + 0.1x Which term dominates at x = 100? Which term contributes to the greatest change between 0 < x < 2*pi? That's just a very simple example, and global temperature is magnitudes more complicated, but to answer your question, Yes, yes we can have it both ways. You just can't understand, or won't. It's really up to you.

A few times already...one was on November 16th, 2021.

This is funny. I keep saying, you can't handle a system with more than one variable, and you keep proving me right.

Must have hit a nerve. Ad hominem means attacking the person. I was merely describing what he did.

And Brent implied that those were the consensus definitions left wingers were using. Can't get more dishonest than that. Not only a strawman argument, but deliberately cherry-picked to be deceptive.

A long-time poster here has strangely missed his usual January "climate update" I'll just put the full 2023 result here: World breaches 1.5C warming threshold for full year (bbc.co.uk) 2023 was by far, the warmest year on record. And to anticipate his excuse "it's only because of the El Niño": While El Niño has given air temperatures an extra boost, it would typically only do so by about 0.2C. Now let's watch his mental gymnastics to say what's NOT the cause of the warming. It will be one for the Olympics. I'll also make another prediction for next January - 2024 probably won't be as warm as 2023 due to normal fluctuations (a La Nina cycle seems to be forming again), but the long-time poster will take that as "proof" that CO2 isn't the cause of the warming (because of his lack of maths ability), so he'll make a January 2025 "update" then saying that.

I stand corrected then, it was the NASA bit that made me suspicious. Oh no, you must be one of the lizard people! /s :P

Unfortunately he's probably not a sockpuppet, he's put enough details to show he's not washed up canopy pilot Rhys Kempen. He appears to be a TI, Oliver Schoenfeld, which is good so I can tell people to avoid his logbook app that's on his profile.

The most common aerofoil sections are still called NACA aerofoils. Oli Vers must be a friend of Rhys/The Hundredth Monkey - they're both based in NZ. We've got a new Rhys...yay.

Apparently, you've now been captured by the Pentagon's "psyop" as some conspiracy nutters are now claiming: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2024/jan/31/taylor-swift-travis-kelce-super-bowl-rightwing-conspiracy-biden He's calling the stuff he's saying "misinformation" and it's still not registering...

Well we need it even faster. China's BYD has just overtaken Tesla as the biggest EV manufacturer. Lots of brits here driving around in their MG EVs, Volvo EVs not having any idea that they're actually driving Chinese cars... Or, do as Brent says, just slow down, relax, take a long, deep huff from that ICE exhaust pipe and make fun of EVs until the Chinese perfect solid-state battery tech. So it will be too late. Solid-state tech should also fix the cold weather issues.
