Reply | The Upcoming COP30 climate summit in Brazil
at 12:49 12 Mar 2025
We will not doubt continue to have this debate about climate change because it is an ever increasing threat to our lives. And it's quite right we do, of course. But if people refuse to take on board the overwhelmingly accepted proof science has produced showing the climate is changing because humans burn fossil fuels, there's little chance of finding common ground.
I absolutely agree we should tackle the problem of plastics and that it's something we can all do by reducing our use and getting companies to do likewise. We can do the same with fossil fuels - reduce our use and get companies to do the same. By doing both these things - and there's no reason why it's an either or decision - we can and must improve our futures and those of our children and grandchildren.
Mother earth isn't deciding we're disposable. We are making the incredible hospitality she's shown us for 6 million years impossible to continue. [Post edited 12 Mar 13:37]

Yup, and President Lula is supposed to be supportive of tackling the climate emergency. There's still very little serious work being done to mitigate or halt climate change. |

I also caught that 'whiff'. Yet, we read this in Marti's post match interview: While frustrated with the end result, Cifuentes was proud of his team’s effort and never-say-die attitude as they battled right until the final whistle. “This is a very honest group,” he said. “We kept pushing and the reality is that this group never gives up."
While I wouldn't say the team gave up, there was indeed a lack of commitment from the start. |

In Marti's pre match chat he says: "We know that some players will stay out, unfortunately. We also have a couple of players with some niggles from the last game, as is usual at this moment of the season."
I take it that means Frey and Varane remain unavailable but also that two more won't feature tonight - Cook and Lloyd perhaps? |

If Frey is still out and Marti doesn't fancy Lloyd, big Jimmy up front would be fun and maybe not a completely mad idea. |

For the DS he's played wide on both flanks, and I think he did the same when at Perth Glory. He seems comfortable using both feet. |

I'm very much hoping we'll see Dembele start in place of Yang who just isn't cutting it. |

Is the 10 extinct? I don't think so. I've seen all our 10s from Marsh onwards and although they had their differences they certainly had their similarities too. For me, a 10 plays off the central striker, is clever on the ball, scores goals and creates opportunities for others. |

The A and B coin phone boxes were indeed a thing in GB. As kids, we would regularly pop into the box and press the silver A button in the hope that we'd get some coins that hadn't been used, and we would sometimes be rewarded for our endeavor. |

I get that, Dave, but I can't see him being played enough to the end of the season to properly assess him, particularly if he does have an injury. There's only 10 games to go. |

Although played more as a 'fashionable' inverted wide left man, I've always thought of Taarabt as a no 10. |

He's 22 this month, not so young for a football player. He has 50 senior games under his belt, albeit 21 in the National League, so not that inexperienced. But I think you're right that he needs a loan out to help him in his career, wherever that might be. |

Having watched him in DS and senior games I've never been completely convinced he'll make it at this level. However, he needs a proper run of games to prove himself. I hope we can get him a good L1 or upper L2 season long loan in 25/26. |
