If Trump cancelled US Contributions to the UN's IPCC, very few Climate Scientists would be able to fly anywhere.
I wonder if Trump and BoJo have had a chat, or meeting of hairstyles about how to prorogue?

result!
I suppose it might be a win for Canadians if Mann refuses to pay and has an arrest warrant issued :-)
Seems a shame that the Mark Steyn case hasn't had its profile raised much by Tim Ball's win.

“Land!! The lights of Long Island and New York City ahead,” the 16-year-old Swedish climate activist tweeted on Wednesday.
Thunberg is sailing to New York to attend a UN summit on zero emissions next month after refusing to fly there because of the carbon emissions caused by planes.Greta Thunberg sees land ahead as she approaches New York

Where do I get my "Michael Mann has blocked me on twitter" badge??
Funny thing was he was banging on about the lies of him losing his law suit against Tim Ball and all I mentioned was that when one is ordered to pay all the legal costs of the other side it's not exactly a ringing endorsement of your legal position :)

Looks like Greta will time arrival just right for UK lunchtime news.
I see that some Democrats are staging a Climate Crisis "Town Hall" wibbling marathon in NY - obviously hoping that Greta will grace them with her presence and bless the proceedings

Thank you for the further explanations.
Did/does anyone monitor for earth tremors in coal mining areas, deep mines or open cast? Or stone quarries using explosives?
Are the stresses/pressures that are being relieved by earth tremors in the UK, part of the rebound since the last ice age, whether the actual "trigger event" is blamed on fracking or just "cause unknown, further research funding required"?

just tried to reply to a Guardian tweet about Bercow's "outrage" and Twitter won't let me post the comment below:
Bercow claims outrage ? gosh! ..... oh well, in the immortal words of BSM Williams - Oh Dear, How Sad, Never Mind
I click on reply, type in text, click on action button, the screen button bitmap does it's "pushed" thing but the reply isn't posted. Tried half a dozen times in different browser tabs / windows.
Expect more of this and worse

2.3ML in Helston, Cornwall. So much for radioactive granite, eh?
It doesn't add up...
@tomo I'll have a look at that tweet
Today I posted tweet which say it has 3 Likes, but one is hidden from me
Maybe that Liker has his account on "protected"
... If only there was som big news that would knock Greta off the top
===================
sometimes I put up a tweet with a spelling mistake
I then delete it
Someone trying to reply to it would get the error you did
Now there are 2 copies of that Guardian Tweet
