The EU has a real problem over funding especially with Brexit looming. Merkel who effectively triggered the Brexit problem with her inept migration policy, is reaping the whirlwind and now wants to deflect the costs - but the pigs don't wanna leave the trough and the Eastern Block countries refuse to co-operate. Merkel knows the game is over

OK we know that in theory a top uni/academic should produce the best report
However in the real world it's often the case the uni/academic report is garbage, whilst a non academic can produce a much better one.
I've got someone arguing against me on that
#1 He's blustered at me with a 10 point argument
..there must be a word for when throw a snowstorm like that and run away ??
#2 His argument seems to be that the uni/academic report will be magically better, cos of the way uni depts are funded
"They don't get funded unless they publish peer reviewed research under REF QR rules
..therefore all research from uni/academic is "peer review standard"
..hmm - Uni people do sometimes publish some reports which are not peer reviewed
..and as far as I am concerned a paper is only peer reviewed if it individually has been peer reviewed (even that doesn't prevent the reviewers being unless and not spotting garbage)
The report in question is about how "BBC is biased to the right"
He also tries to argue that a thinktank study can't be as good cos its funders are anonymous
and the Uni study must be better (even thou that was funded by the BBC)

@HP "A remote drone carrying a loud-speaker could have hovered over the crowd and delivered the speech"
except it's illegal to pilot a drone over people's heads
Maybe there's some commercial exception rule for sporting events ?
#2 amplification is forbidden at speakers corner
Livestreaming to people's own devices get's the message over
TR got a million hits in a few hours for his Italy punch video
yet a Youtube search on todays events hides almost all videos
the vid from Titans TV has about 45K views

If it goes El Nino, can we expect next winter to be worse?

"Our research helped show that El Niño and La Niña cycle has impacts all over the world. For example, El Niño years are one factor that can increase the risk of colder winters in the UK. We now better understand these impacts and reproduce many of them in our climate models.

EM, this thing only appeared a week ago. The predictions don't seem to use the last data points. I looked at NOAA's report and there was no mention or image of it. That's why tomorrow's report is of interest. The warm anomaly's deepened as they were pushed apart by this feature. A week and one day ago, I would have said there was a chance of El Nino.
