P.S. Is there any interest in a calendar this year? I am a bit late in getting round to it but do let me know if you would like one – I can get a copy over to Anthony this week.

Remember that Emperor Nero played his fiddle as Rome burned around him. So now the delusional Prince babbles on about global warming as the world is on the brink of World War III.
Nero was said to have played the lyre and sung of the fall of Troy. In fairness to one of history’s less amiable people, he is also said to have got onto relief and rebuild as soon as he could have.

So about 2 lurkers for every commenter.
What’s your point ???
Just noting an interesting fact.
We rarely get to see if anyone is watching the debates here.
It seems they are.
The silent majority is waking up !!! LOL
Mcourtney,
It is more interesting to see the total number people (not views) who visited this post in relation to number of unique visitors who had at least one comment and also in relation to the number of votes (yes & no).
Also, if a commenter voted yes (one of your 120 number) then that commenter could have made several comments in the thread and not just one.
Also, is a person not commenting on this post your definition of a ‘lurker’? Perhaps instead of the ambiguous term ‘lurker’ you meant to just say ‘a person who hasn’t yet commented on this post’?
John
Thank you !!
Yes, that would be more useful to measure.
But this was available to those of us who are just visiting and have no knowledge of the workings of WordPress.
And I apologise if “lurker” is considered derogatory. It was not meant to be.
MCourtney,
Sorry, I did not wish to imply that use of ‘lurker’ was derogatory, just wished to imply that it is ambiguous and subject to various interpretations.
John
MCourtney,
And I haven’t access either to that level of knowledge about WP’s records for this site. But it would be interesting info to see. : )

I come here every day but very rarely comment, not lurking, just watching the conversation and science.
Wayne from OZ a retired engineer.
I believe that HRH Elizabeth II secretly is trying to outlive him, for the good of Britain.
Daily Caller.com has got the Dr Shukla fraud story today.,
At least5President Obama and Prince Charles agree on something:
What is worse: Climate change or WWIII?
November 24: Turkey just shot down a Russian Fighter Jet over Turkish air space, but the surviving pilot landed in Syria, taken by Syrian rebels fighting Assad on behalf of Turkey. Turkey is fighting Assad and the Kurds in Syria. Russia is assisting Assad in fighting Syrian rebels assisted by Turkey, and are also fighting ISIS. Iran is assisting Assad in fighting the Syrian Rebels and the Kurds, and maybe ISIS. Turkey is helping ISIS fight Assad. U.S. is helping Turkey helping ISIS and the Syrian rebels, but is also fighting ISIS. France is jumping in fighting ISIS. U.S. say they are helping the Kurds fight ISIS, but are not, because that would offend the Turks and Iran. And then there are the Chinese trying to gain influence in the region. This is the coalition Obama says he is leading fighting ISIS, (or ISIL as Obama insists calling it, as the Levant also includes Israel).
Obama is still scheduled, together with 40000 other delegates to go to Paris next week for the 2015 Climate Change Conference COP21. What could possibly go wrong?
Which leads to verse 69 of the Obama Impeachment song (as if sung by President Barack Hussein Obama to the tune of “Please release me, let me go”)
Climate change or World War III?
Yes, Climate Change much worse must be.
World Wars come and go, you see.
But Climate Must Not Change, That’s my decree.
Here is the complete impeachment song: http://lenbilen.com/2015/02/25/the-complete-obama-impeachment-song/
Gee, could you make it a little longer ?/ LOL…great job..
Marcus, this could get ugly, seems the Russian aircrew was killed after bailing out. Also a rescue helio was hit on the ground by an anti-tank missile. (Don’t we build nice stuff here in the U.S.A.)
BTY did junior pull Canada’s aircraft out yet?

RT ( the Russian TV channel viewable in UK) has been making much of the absence of any comment from Kerry and Obama – surely they are awake by now (9 pm in UK).
The horrible image that keeps coming to mind are those film shots of Hitler in his bunker gazing for hours at the models of the sparkling new city of Linz that he is going to build , whilst the Russians are just a fewhundred yards away.
Yes , this whole administration is delusional !!
I vote YES for a calendar.
25 people actually voted NO ?? Weird !
His involvement in the Climate Change game will be his undoing
Of topic :
Obama is now disarming police forces across America ..

HRH is a bit of an embarrassment
“peasant girl”? Diana was the daughter of an Earl.
A watch that could feed a family in Africa for several years?
Perhaps “Charles in charge” is the the Dr. Doolittle of botany in his own mind.
He will be at the COP 21 meeting in Paris next month. I hope he has checked out with the plants in his greenhouse before he makes any more erm ‘wise’ statements.

I think “The Royal Nuthouse” would be a more apt caption for that cartoon.
Well HRH Charlie did once express the wish to be Camilla’s tampon (gagh!)

Josh, sorry, you missed a terrific alternative cartoon. You should have had the plants all trying to strangle charlie for wanting to cut CO2.
“Josh, sorry, you missed a terrific alternative cartoon. You should have had the plants all trying to strangle charlie for wanting to cut CO2.”
How about one of the flowers giving him a squirt in the face?
He’s turned into the CLOWN PRINCE. The guy had everything going for him, born with a silver spoon in his mouth. All he had to do was be Royal, keep his trash shut on political and controversial issues and just be a prince. Instead, he went along and spoilt it all by opening his gob on too many occasions without engaging brain. He’s been doing this for many years now, on the issue of global warming, yet planet earth continues to have a stable weather system … no sign of any tipping point, no sign of destruction of the biosphere, no sign of any coming climate catastrophe.
Well let’s not get all in a huff – after all he is the Prince of Whales not the the Prince of Smart. Now I realize he he may not be a peculiarly smart whale as such things might go but is that really what the whales need?
Sometimes I reckon a herd of balmy cetaceans need a leader who just spouts something out the old blowhole eh what?
Thank god no one is looking to him to lead us in a matter of importance.
Yikes what a mess that would be!
A few more yes votes and we will have a 97% consensus for a calendar by Josh so who could say it was wrong for him to produce one? As we know 97% is the magic number.

Prince Charles famously talks to his plants – nothing wrong with that, of course.
Until they talk back.
No. That would be a good thing. Charles might listen to the plants – they are, after all, the only sane, thinking adult in the room when Charles is present.
Andrew Bolt gives Charlie a good shellacking with the facts-

The dweeb is enough for leftys to want to defend the monarchy and conservatives to want a republic in Oz.
Spoiled progeny are the same everywhere, regardless of the titles and regalia. They lack the drive of the empire builders of industry, science, and engineering and replace it with rambling thoughts that are laughed at even by the average folks with average drive.
The gentleness of Josh’s cartoons makes them more effective somehow.
