Anyone else watch the George Lee bit on the news? He clearly can not do basic maths.

He said 63 people had died from climate change in Europe last year 44 from floods and 44 from fires, now to me that is 88. So he has forgot 25 people unless they did not die from the floods and fires but were emergency services who died doing there jobs but they are still people. The whole piece makes no sense.

Live long and Prosper
Peace and long life.

You watch way too much RTE man, and it really really shows.

Watch it again.
63 lives were lost due to storms, 44 to floods and 44 to wildfires.
Does every vague observation or thought require a new thread?

Well then stop starting new threads and go to your pondering thread to do so.

I've no idea. I was just correcting the basic error in the OP. That's a completely different discussion.

Mod - Not every thought that enters your head needs to become a thread, OP, and there's a dedicated thread for your musings.
