Moscow in trouble

[Flyby]

I just hope Moscow's (and all effected areas) troubles end as soon as possible. The situation there makes for sad reading. All the best to them, and the sooner the better.
Flyby out

I can understand the initial topic, about fires around Moscow, as 1C:Maddox studio may be located in Moscow, like people working in it, and they can be suffering the bad consecuences of this disaster (my respects and solidarity with them). Perhaps it might affect the SOW release date we all are eagerly awaiting. I think the first poster had this in mind when he started the thread.

But going into a discussion about Earth Heating or Cooling or even worse, about Religion matters, IMHO is to go too far in "OTness" . Lets keep things in the right place, pls.

Just my 0.02€

I agree, it's just difficult not to react when people take every possible opportunity (even ridiculous ones) to call you names and insult you. It's bloody annoying, but I suppose it's to be expected.

Back on topic: Still talking to my imaginary friend about the problems in Moscow, I hope He helps.

Well the worst of it has passed and the future 10 day trend is looking good. We can let this thread die, and am looking to enjoying tomorrows update

That knows everyone who reads books and don't just watch CNN (not to mention loads of free books on the internet). Unfortunately not all the people have hardware to process it.

This winter we will fly BoB-SoW in very, very cold rooms.

So let me get this right, when the planet cools that is causing the polar ice caps to melt??? My ice maker must be working in reverse because as the temp gets colder in my ice box the water freezes, yet according to your physics when the planet gets cold ice melts. How else you explain the melting ice caps and all the ice sheets breaking off and drifting to see.

Fact is, we don't know sh*t about the climate and the involved processes.
The earth does warm up, newest studies confirm it's 50% man made - but still, the climate could swing the other way whenever it likes.

There is no standard climate on this planet, nor was it ever normal to have both polar caps covered with ice.

Remember "Ötzi"? This guy walked over green passes in 3000m altitude. That was just 8000 years ago.
