The entire world is completely fizzed and people with the means to do something about it won't. One of the reasons I don't want to bring a child into this world. 

Just finished watching the planets on iplayer and just makes you realise how insignificant

we are as a race and just how vulnerable the planet is to powerful external forces.

I can now add The End of The World as per @sweetsheri.

 

It's now a total waste of time appointing a new manager. We won't be here to see it happen.


Wednesday are like the mammals during the extinction of the dinosaurs. When the meteor strikes on the Premier League dinosaurs we will come into our own and rule the earth.

Stressing at 27deg C is not a cost saving exercise (well everything is to some extent) but it's a balance. Stressing at higher temps creates problems at lower ambient temperatures. So we stress at a sufficiently high temp to minimise tracking buckling without increasing too much the risk of fracture under cold winter temps.

 

Coincidentally, the following was published a few days ago.

Warning: contains railway geeky stuff. Interesting nevertheless.

On modern track, we don't have problems at 27 deg. 27 is more a "neutral point". Issues arise at higher temps. Trouble is that exposed track in direct sunlight heats up considerably above ambient temperature. On crappy track issues arise at lower temps.

 

Isn’t that what I said? lol

 

Just messing, interesting article, cheers - and yeah, DANGEROUSLY geeky. (Love it!)

Can't we just cover them with leaves.

Makes you wonder how much of our country’s infrastructure just isn’t ready to cope with a baked planet - we could actually end up in a worse position than many currently poorer nations in that regard.

Don't worry. The environmental commitment at a cost of one trillion pounds to reduce CO2 by 2035 or whatever it was by T May before she skuttled out of office will make us as poor as most 3rd world nation's anyway, for the one day a year the mercury tops 35 degrees. Can't wait.
