Now they are experts in microbiology. I was going to post something here about the 'consensus' view on Corona virus being similar to the consensus view of climate science, then I thought "why bother". All the alarming facts I have seen so far about Corona have been more like worst case extrapolations. I posted in the other thread, just look at the diamond princess and the island of Hong Kong. There ought to be bodies piling up everywhere, but its just a handful of deaths. To me there is a big difference between saying "lets stop polluting the planet", and "if we don't do X right now, we only have 12 years to save the planet." I think we can all agree that taking care of the Earth is the right thing to do. But the alarmist pseudo science just has to stop. People do love their consensus, though, my goodness. Lets all agree and all fit into the prevailing viewpoint. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Did I mention Philippines? nor did I post any pictures of the Philippines. I have seen many of the small islands in Philippines collecting washed up plastic bottles etc, trying to do their best for the Environment. I also know that anything that can be recycled in Philippines ususally is! The places I mentioned have beautiful beaches, EG; Maldives which has beautiful beaches but also an official "Rubbish Island" ......If you are tired of this Thread that's fine....I thought this forum had a open discussion Platform. Sorry if my input with this thread rattles a few cages, but over 7000 views might tell a different story. I don't live in Philippines so that limit's my ability to bring anything to the table, such as current Filipino affairs or News items. ######################################################################################### PS; I have probably travelled around Philippines over the years, more than most Filipinos or some Expats for that matter.

I wish there was a way to put a whole thread on ignore. I've had my say but when the thread pops up I forget that I have had my say (growing old I guess) and then say the same thing again. I'll have to look at that. There should be a way to unfollow a thread. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, the devil made me do it and I could not resist. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
