And physics dictate that a runaway greenhouse is not possible on Earth.

Oh--can you explain that? And you mean anyone who proposes otherwise is wrong?

Superb win.

Despite improved WHO regulations, 

Obviously the old regulations were failures.

WHO agency says talc is 'probably' cancer-causing

This agency should have listened to global health authorities years ago.

only two other years experienced more wildfires from January through June: 2003 (17,143) and 2004 (17,340).

Glad the worst is over

Posting a tasty eggplant recipe is not boasting. Many people don't know what to do with eggplants.

What's the basis for your claim that many people do not know what to do with eggplants?

If this article was about chives, naturally 'ole man wallace would have something to chime in about knowing what to do with chives--when no one else does!

Nice out this evening.

The WHO has no vaccine programs.

*Essential *Programme on Immunization

The WHO has no duties in Africa, or anywhere else. The WHO is an advisory agency, it does not execute health policies or even its own recommendations.

Here we go--hope it eases your confusion:

Our work involves translation of global health initiatives into regional plans that respond to the specific needs and challenges of countries in the Region

But much more if people acted responsibly in every other way so climate change would not be happening. 

That has no relation to people intentionally starting forest fires.

The WHO has ignored its duties especially in Africa, where it has performed miserably with its malaria vaccine programs.

A true tragedy.

Temperatures at record high last year (and projected to be even higher at an earlier date this year) mean that this is not something that happens as every summer.

You were corrected by the below:

Last year was not the record for Tokyo, but temperatures have been hot most every summer the last 10 or 20 years, or even more. In 1994, it was very hot. Temperatures around the Japan record of 41 degrees have been flirted with many times. This is a record that’s just waiting to fall.

This would be a different scenario if people didn't start fires.

'Friendly' service in Japan? Hmm, would you settle for very polite instead?

Good distinction.

Quite affordable for anyone working or who worked.

Might be a trifle expensive for those trying to survive in rural countrysides, and not using a/c and only kerosene in winters in the mountains of central Japan.

Mother Nature doing what she does

The lack of hair nets is kind of icky.

The UK government does not classify the Stop The Oil group as terrorists.

Thanks for providing the law that classifies this group as terrorists.

"The Terrorism Act 2000 defines terrorism, both in and outside of the UK, as the use or threat of one or more of the actions listed below, and where they are designed to influence the government, or an international governmental organisation or to intimidate the public. The use or threat must also be for the purpose of advancing a political, religious, racial or ideological cause."

Well done UK police stopping this terrorism.

I find it odd that the Empress is wearing a face mask, while no one else is.

Maybe she feels sick, while no one else does.

The article is about package fillings and has nothing to do with pillows generally.

The article has everything to do with pillows generally.

Poor birds that are killed by those turbines.

Barcelona is not bad, but I'd recommend the Adriatic Sea coast of Italy.

A very strange and useless discussion. 

Agreed.

Too hot? Stay out of the sun.

Too cold? Get inside somewhere warm.

That has been the natural progression of humans and how they have been adapting to the constant changes in temperatures over time.

The problem is that is very difficult to generalize how necessary they are for people because this depends on many different things.

How come it is a problem for you?

It's not a problem for me.

Nature in action.

You do know that US cars are considered garbage in Europe, Japan and most of the world?

Not in Australia, mate.

I'd love more pandas. Great idea!

I'm just going to stay inside.

Dark tourism is a term used to describe travel done for the fascination of seeing places historically associated with death and suffering.

Interesting theme.

"a strong tendency in Japan to view dark tourism as inappropriate."

Persuade people to stay away from Hiroshima Peace Memorial then.

Crikey!
