    I hope that is the newest, never-fail weatherproof superglue.... wouldn't want them to fall. Could be a tourist attraction for Universal.

    I know. Facts don't matter to you ideologues. Never have. The end justifies any means. If you don't want to debate issues with real scientists, maybe you should exit the forum and join the clowns who are advertising the strength of carbon-based superglue

    A little climate change hysteria goes a long way. This may help.

    The idea that you're interested in facts is laughable. The grown up debate has moved on. Its arguably a debate between micro and macro issues: from liberalism (importance of entrepreneurial analysis; application of nudging) to sustainability (rejection of policymaking around growth maximisation)

    Don't you hate it when you forget that you started your response saying that you refute the Malthusian model and then end up saying everyone should adopt it? Suddenly, your wind seems to have stopped....

    Another nonsense reply. I have made no Malthusian argument (although, to be fair, Malthus is still used as part of standard growth theory)

    Then you clearly haven't red the green new deal. I'd suggest reading it first....

    First, I didn't mention green new deal. I referred to green deal within local government. Second, I doubt you really have an understanding of Malthusian analysis (accounting for your quite childish response).

    This is what you wrote:
    "
    Reiver said: ↑
    I see you didn't respond to anything actually said. Tut tut! Let's go through it. I rejected Malthusian analysis, countering your petty whine. I referred to how the protestors are correct over bringing forward carbon neutrality. I referred to the need to change the regulatory framework. That should include procurement policies which exclude polluting firms. We also need to adapt the Preston model of devolution and integrate green deal radicalism."

    I know, forgetting is sometimes an option...

    Yep, zero reference to green new deal. Yep, zero reference to Malthusian analysis. Indeed, it is a cretinous claim as it's a reference to local government.

    You really need to read what green deal radicalism entails... it pretty much adopts the worst of Malthus and applies a liberal dose of Marxism... I know, you didn't know... Obviously.

    You need to read up on everything mentioned as you're clearly making ludicrous comment. The Green Deal was actually constructed around orthodox externality analysis. It provided mechanisms for low level subsidies. It didn't go far enough in terms, for example, in promoting green industries. Twinning it with the Preston model is key as it's about minimising leakage from the local community (further promoting the value of investments).

    You've made up an argument based on your own warped view over the green new deal (one word creating a completely different analysis). To suggest more efficient local government is somehow Malthusian really isn't cunning. It only confirms that you're not constructing argument from a suitably developed understanding of the different schools of thought.

    The only thing that threatens the very nature of societies is leftist nincompoopery and horrible policy solutions for nonexistent problems.

    Well their little stunt did serve one useful purpose, it brought out the crackpots and science deniers so can see why GED classes are always in demand.

    Low powered arguments from the right wing are expected. Shame they can't at least pretend well thought out critique through stuff like libertarian paternalism.

    I know a good deal actually. Do you no anything beyond Marxist/green jargon that is designed more with obfuscation rather than explanation in mind?

    I'm sure you big yourself up. However, the point stands. Right wing fellows can't even manage a coherent critique of the radicals. We've seen that with the climate change denial, rather than sound application of libertarian paternalism. It's as if right wingers are desperate to dumb down...
