You can argue that no-one is impartial in this. Both sides have an agenda (yes, really, a proper agenda), so you need to look past that, and look at what the science actually says. And the science actually says: global warming is real, and is almost certainly caused by the significant increase...

They are a more environmentally acceptable way of producing energy than, say, coal-burners. Trees absorb atmospheric carbon dioxide while growing and release it back to the atmosphere when burnt, so the net effect is zero increase of atmospheric CO2. Burning coal on the other hand releases...

That hits the nail on the head. There is a huge amount of political- and corporate weight behind the scepticism on climate change because the pay-offs from ignoring the issue are short-term, which benefits politicians (they get re-elected) and corporations (they make more money). Doing something...

One other reply to an earlier comment about a burning a tree being the same CO2 output as natural decay. Sorry to say, but this is nonsense! In simple terms, burning a tree releases as CO2 all the carbon that has been captured by that tree throughout its lifetime in one go; a decaying tree...

Man-made climate change is real, of that I have no doubt. The biggest problem, as alluded to by shenmel, is that this is an immensely complex science, and it is therefore easy to select any single piece of data or any single graph to illustrate ones own point-of-view without having to...

One nicked off facebook... I phoned my boss's mobile. "I'm on the train heading to the south coast now." "What..?" he answered, sounding a bit annoyed. "It's five o'clock in the flipping morning! What are you doing on a train?"... "You tell me," I replied. "You're the one who told me to be...

Took my boss to the game last night, who was over in the UK to meet a customer. He's a born-and-bred Roma fan, and he was amazed at the turnout for a mid-week Cup game. He said that Roma would've struggled to get half that crowd for a similar occasion. (He also was quite envious of the stadium...

Anyone read the report in 'i' of last night's game?! While an upset might have been slightly more newsworthy, their report could not make it more clear how much the sports editorial policy is anti-City. Almost every paragraph makes some snidey comment about what a shame it was that the underdogs...

Fifth game of the season for me, which is pretty good going (well, I think so...!). I'm in the North West for a customer meeting on Tuesday and my boss is coming over for the meeting...and he's coming to the game, too! He's a born-and-bred Roma fan so will be interesting to see what he makes...

Well, I'll have served 35 years in January, which is quite weird. My Dad took me to my first game when I was 8, which was the FA Cup tie against Norwich City on the way to the 1981 final, that we won 6-0 (and I got Joe Corrigan's autograph). My Dad's decision to support City was an interesting...

Free Daily Mail on a flight today, so couldn't help myself... Three "experts" give their five best players of the season so far. All three choose a rag, and only one City player in the 15.... which is....David Silva!?! Simultaneously biased and lazy; pretty impressive!

And yet, just under a year ago, we were not joint top, but clearly second.....by alphabetical orde....

Exactly this. As if it's not bad enough seeing us struggle against an absolutely awful bottom-of-the-league team, I come on hear to see people posting as if they're some kind of Zen Buddhist who gets riled by nothing. For a team with our ambitions (and yes, even one that's come from where we...

Haha, well found....good investigative journalism, that! This tosser can't even manage to put apostrophes in yet fancies himself as a writer...

Haha, yes, I noticed that Mangala was given 7/10. I've realised now that it is just laziness on behalf of the Independent/'i' - the report in 'i' is basically the first 5 paragraphs from the report in the full version of the paper, but the full report then goes on to actually describe the match...

Anyone seen the report in 'i'? Herbert manages to produce an article about the game which only mentions City once in the context of City's bookings for "hacking down" the rags' talent.... Absolutely fucking laughable. Even my non-Blue missus (who thinks I'm paranoid) couldn't believe what she...

Not bad, but not quite good enough yet. The rags are only in this because the men in black give them the benefit for everything, and we've clearly been the more coherent side creating the better chances.

I heard that they sing the UEFA anthem backwards, too....

Just got myself a new Audi A6 S-line Diesel Ultra, which is costing me £375/month on a four-year PCP deal. It has very low vehicle tax, and comes with a nice, plush interior. Admittedly, I'm on a deal for 10,000 a year, so it would cost you more on your mileage, but I'm loving it so far...

Funnily enough, did anyone notice the Possession statistics on the scoreboard during the City v Newcastle game. I think the stats were City 58%, Newcastle 43% at one point!
