AI Thread Summary
The discussion highlights a significant shift in Britain's climate policy under Tony Blair, moving away from mandatory greenhouse gas emission targets central to the Kyoto agreement. This change opens the possibility for other nations to follow suit, potentially undermining international climate commitments. The conversation touches on the perception that this shift is not driven by economic concerns but rather by questioning the validity of climate science. Additionally, there are mentions of Canada receiving incentives to reconsider its stance on Kyoto, indicating a broader trend of nations reevaluating their climate strategies. The tone suggests a sense of urgency and concern regarding the implications of these policy changes.

Thread 'Could an external cosmic body have influenced Earth’s geology?'

Hello, I’m currently writing a series of essays on Pangaea, continental drift, and Earth’s geological cycles. While working on my research, I’ve come across some inconsistencies in the existing theories — for example, why the main pressure seems to have been concentrated in the northern polar regions. So I’m curious: is there any data or evidence suggesting that an external cosmic body (an asteroid, comet, or another massive object) could have influenced Earth’s geology in the distant...
