@hindy111 Gronk would like a fact check in aisle 3

We need to get all the secret camera angles

all that aside, I don't know if this corona thing is being overhyped? .... is it that much worse than other viruses gone by? .... can't help but think its at least partly media hype .... but then I'm no medical expert

hindy said this is the downfall of society

But seriously I wouldn’t trust the figures out of China. The infection rate is likely much higher which would mean the general lethality is lower. Perhaps it would affect different populations differently but quarantine and basic care has served us pretty well with limiting outbreaks

Common flu is 1% mortality.
This seems around 2% or less due to some people not even knowing they contracted it.....

 

[hindy111]

My wrong
Flu is 0.1%
This is why I double check facts

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Just like Santa with his list.

What's the chances of you sourcing all the above mate? And no I don't mean "oh this is from the 1990 IPPC report, or that's from ClimateGate", I mean providing the source from where you pulled it, and copy / pasted it. And also sources for your claims made.

I actually deliberately didn't source them. Why? Because those two graphs (the sea ice and temperature graphs from the IPCC) are ones you should definitely know. I mean, if you actually read anything on climate change, that is...

Oh, I forgot...you don't...

Here's an interesting one:

It's a composition of the first sea ice graph I posted (from the IPCC) and...well, shouldn't be too hard for you to find the main graph, should it?

Or don't you know how to research stuff? Do you need it all handed to you?

I'm quite capable of "researching stuff " , I just don't consider trawling the web for the exact references of what you post as constructive use of my time, particularly given that whilst you are copying and pasting shit, the source is sitting there on the address bar of your browser.

If you don't want to source what you post, which just seems to me a bit of dick move, then don't.

But if that's the case, I'll treat it with the contempt it deserves.

If you want to discuss it, source it, otherwise see above.
