@normonics @ThouArtThat You're setting up a straw man. No one is saying the climate isn't complex, but as you know science is built on verifiable, repeatable observations and evidence. If you disagree with 97% of the published climate science community, the onus on you to explain why.

@ArglesJon My theory is that hospital parking is a good use case for smart contract blockchain tech. Patients can be allocated specialised credits based on status & can distribute them as required. No market or secondary market permitted but a general pool where unused credits revert 1/2

@BBCr4today Robert Frost.
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice
