Blah, blah, blah...


More people than you can talk with online?
Nonsense.

More evidence that face to face is better than online:

Research shows face-to-face requests are 34 times more effective than those sent by email, and that a physical handshake promotes cooperation and influences negotiation outcomes for the better.

MIT’s Human Dynamics Lab spent hundreds of hours tracking performance drivers across industries by collecting data from electronic badges that covered everything from tone of voice to body language. The results showed unequivocally that the most valuable communication is done in-person, and that typically 35 percent of the variation in a given team’s performance was explained by the number of times team members actually spoke face-to-face.

The study, coauthored by Jonathan Levav of Stanford Graduate School of Business and Melanie Brucks of Columbia Business School, finds that in-person teams generated more ideas than remote teams working on the same problem.

In a laboratory experiment conducted at Stanford, half the teams worked together in person and half did so online. The in-person teams generated 15% to 20% more ideas than their virtual counterparts. In a separate experiment involving almost 1,500 engineers at a multinational corporation, in-person teams came up with more ideas, and those ideas received higher ratings for originality.

Even my own experience backs this up. I have attended the same conference regularly in person, and online. In person, I can chat to people afterwards, network etc. On line, I am basically a viewer of a presentation, and can ask questions during the presentation, and that's about it.

Although I've never had to fly to a conference, even when it was about decarbonisation.

That's why the OPEC executives decided to send a letter to the conference, i suppose.

Sending a letter to a conference for general distribution is very different to 'networking'.

 

[Odds]

Sure, but the Darkside of all that networking are lobbyists conspiring to work against the Climate Change agenda agreed, in principle, by attending delgates on behalf of nation states. Everyone wants to pass the buck. Nobody is prepared to do any more than they have to.

Sure, networking can be a force for good as well as the opposite (bad, wrong, poor, immoral, etc).

Really, I didn't know that, I'll go to foot of our stairs.

What fuel did we have to rely on to back that up with.
Best have some of that on standby if the report is to be believed or on the other hand retreat to a cave.

Global ‘Stilling’: Is Climate Change Slowing Down the Wind?

As carbon dioxide levels rise and the Earth’s poles warm, researchers are predicting a decline in the planet’s wind speeds. This ‘stilling’ could impact wind energy production and plant growth and might even affect the Gulf Stream, which drives much of the world’s climate.

Global warming blimey go and talk to some ordinary Greenlander who has been living on a diet of seal meat

Some of them can now grow strawberry’s and vegetables in there gardens

Will you have room in there for all of us, old spink?

With the amount of contrarians on here I don't think that would be wise.
Probably all starve to death arguing what to have for dinner.

You don't consider yourself as one?

Wind is part of the energy mix including solar and nuclear.

climate change deniers always spout nonsense about wind being unreliable.

You are the contrarian.

just because your posts are devoid of facts or evidence, don’t try and drag others down to your level

Already discussed at length over here... don't let him change the subject otherwise we'll be going round in circles again.

or even up to their level...
Just because you do not agree with popular opinion doesn't always put you in the wrong.
