I remember during the “gilets jaunes” protests, people on a news TV channel were laughing about tools used by the police, how they can hurt people, the trauma caused, etc.
It would have been on a Russian TV, it would be cited as evidence Russians are anti human terrorists.

Did GG say he was a psychology researcher? Did he actually say he was a “scientist” ?
Seems like just another “social science” activist quoting somebody else’s atmospheric physics with no relevant qualifications to judge it. And trying to hoodwink the public that any sort of “science” makes them worth listening to. I’m thinking this is narcissistic personality disorder.

He is a self-described “experimental economist interested in the psychological and cultural bases of human cooperation”. Whatever that is supposed to mean.

So no, in my book he isn’t a scientist. Experimental economist? Economics is probably the only field of endeavour where your predictions can be wrong all the time and you are still regarded as an expert. No … wait, I forgot about climate science.

Two of them climbed onto the Dartford bridge superstructure on Monday and stopped traffic for two days. They were nowhere near the road.

They were up there for two days before the police eventually got them down, presumably risking the lives of others to do it.

I wish we had some of those Porsche officials rather than our useless police.

Glues tend to to release from skin in 2-3 days, as our skin naturally sluffs off. I’ve gotten tons of glue over my fingers/hands over the years, building speakers and such. Including superglues (cyanoacrylates), acrylics, and epoxies.

They’ll be able to free themselves in 2-3 days – but it’s going to be miserable until then!

Maybe the smell of rotting bodies in their own excreta would be a poor advertisement for Porsche.

Have you seen the latest BEV Rolls? It has a 700kg battery.

Engineers designing these behemoths should be lined up and shot. Owning a BEV Rolls will be useless in the UK because no one will be permitted to recharge them.

Henry’s Model T weighed the same as the battery in the Rolls. And people in the developed world call their engineering “advanced’. Even if I could afford the $500K price tag of the Rolls I would not be caught dead in one of the resource squandering crimes against humanity.

Basically scientists are not very bright. Unconsciously they believe that because the scientific process is self-correcting, they are not responsible for errors which ‘fortuitously’ advance their professional careers. Four hundred years after distinctive and original individuals like Galileo, scientists are now a phalanx of lab slaves pursuing useless research who want to believe that they’re saving the world.

That’s not really fair Mark. You are confusing climate “scientists” with real scientists, of whom there are many, doing real research that may or may not lead to striking or practical conclusions. They (real scientists) don’t get much media coverage because they aren’t advertising themselves as “saving the planet” every time they open their mouths.

And there are also plenty of scientists who grow tired of the somewhat cloistered environment in universities, who go out and work in the real world, doing productive work in the private sector. Of which I’m proud to be one, doing mineral exploration (and now working on a new lithium discovery – lithium being “hot” right now).

And don’t forget, it was a scientist who developed the super glues that these twits use to attach themselves to things.

Rod, don’t forget that German officials already issued orders to conserve gas so Germany can get through the Winter.

I think that commercial buildings were supposed to turn down or turn off heat and lighting during off hours. There was an article here on WUWT about that just recently.

I don’t think VW had a choice about cutting the heat. What? Keep a huge building heated overnight for a handful of people when there is a gas shortage? And there are orders against heating. I don’t think so.


And these yahoos want to stop everyone from using hydrocarbons… but waste plenty of gas heating that big building just for them.

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that there are probably no rocket scientists in that bunch.
