@wry-toast I've had two so far: one was for 'a baby pushing a pram with a dog in it' and I just cannot work out how that violates anything at all - I think they need some fine tuning.

@waplesmaples I'm not a climate scientist, and I will trust them only when they can explain how we escaped from the last Ice Age so recently, if they cannot do that simple little thing, then why should be trust them to predict the next 20,000 years climate, exactly?

@waplesmaples I think one needs to consider the long view here, which is that a mere 20,000 years ago, much of Europe was covered by vast ice sheets, and was uninhabitable. Nobody can explain why the ice melted, so unless the scientists can explain it, their opinions are actually useless.
CO2 is a brilliant fertilizer, and deserts are blooming as CO2 levels increase.

@waplesmaples Frankly, I don't give a damn about carbon footprints, and neither should you - there is only so much carbon around and if it turns into plastic, that is rather inert and harmless. Much as pebbles of limestone contain carbon - or even concrete. If you are worried about carbon footprints, you probably have too much time on your hands and fail to understand chemistry - after all, it is a building block of life:
According to Aria: "A 100 kg human body contains approximately:

18.5 kg of carbon
This carbon is primarily found in the form of organic compounds within the body's tissues and cells.
Carbon is a fundamental element found in all living organisms, including humans. It plays a crucial role in the structure of biological molecules such as proteins, fats, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids that are essential for life processes."

@jwlittle5 I'll do my best to do that.

@antreiou Yes and no. Every time I write a song, or a poem, I reassemble words and notes of music that I have learned - and it is almost impossible to write a totally original piece that makes much sense - I think this is why artists like David Bowie resorted to cutting up bits of paper with words on them, throwing them in the air, and seeing where they fell. Likewise, the Beatles came up with some randomly stoned psychedelic gems like 'Plasticine porters with looking glass eyes' that owe a lot to the long British tradition of the 'Nonsense' and the 'Absurd' - that Lewis Carrol and Edward Lear started.
I can write something original, but only if it is Nonsense!
