such speak is just broadly indicative of how the french tend to make comparisons with the "anglo-saxons" in contrast to themselves, as the mentality of the two are decidely different in some ways. you can't tell me the brits don't paint broad strokes when talking of the "europeans".

putain ils sont cons ces français

I'm sure a lot of people would pay very good money to see a Kangaroos v ABs game. There'd just be hell to pay if anyone got hurt.

it was a while ago now, 1996, but the last time this sort of thing was toyed with

Who even plays rugby league in New Zealand other than a bunch of thugs and deadbeats that dont have the discipline or talent for real rugger. Not one of that Kiwi side would get a Super Rugby contract. Give the All Blacks a week to prepare and learn the rules of r.league and they would obliterate t...

Solid game from England. NZ not showing much in attack.

Elsewhere, France qualifies for RLWC2021 over the weekend, whilst Wales are one game from following them having surprisingly missed out in 2017

FWIW a petition to sign re: China's lifting of tiger and rhino products ban: https://www.sauvonslaforet.org/petitions/1155/la-chine-ne-peut-pas-faire-ca Yes, an online petition. Probably useless, espeically in this case, but these things have been useful in other cases, notably against Monsanto and ...

watching it on youtube is an exercise in futility however....

We make much more efficient use of resources, and in most cases it doesn't matter much anyway because the scale of human biomass and resource use compared to the Earth overall is tiny. What exactly is the crux of this argument? Is it like stating that the emission of such relatively small amounts o...

birth rates are slowing but overall population still growing, along with the affluence/consumption of natural resources of said population - what is your point?

no and no. mate, just give up.

But here's the thing, if they had this science, and it was credible, you could go to even the thickest of administrations of a given country and tell them, with FACTS! that if you chop down X amount of trees, you'll cause droughts here, and here, and here...or, in reverse, get the countries of here...

what abosolute rubbish ^^^ check your sources

The loss of South American rainforests has reduced rainfall thousands of miles away, I'd love to know the science behind that. They struggle to get the weather accurate within 1 day of an event, but they can tell that the loss of rainforest in one part of the planet is causing less rain in another?...

I’ve been some sort of conservationist as philosophy since school years. I figure we were exposed to enough material of that genre for years that I simply took it on as making more sense than endless resource depletion, not to mention the contaminating aspect of waste and pollution. I’ve pretty muc...

there are probably ways to exploit this rule that no one has even thought up yet....

22 Tonnes, 50% from flights- which aren't included in any global average. So if I stop going on holiday I'll be close to the global average. So if we just cancelled events like the Olympics and the Soccer World Cup, how much carbon would be saved? If aviation were a country, it would be about 12th ...

For those that have done the calculation, these are two key figures: 1. 2009's average global footprint = 4.4T 2. 2050's needed global average footprint to avoid dangerous climate change = 1.5T I can highly recommend this short film (4m21s): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWfb0VMCQHE Food for thoug...
