Seb,
So show some evidence, that is some which you agree with and not some vague 'just look at youtube' Teflon answer again.
There must be some because you wouldn't just take someone's word for it - unless you are merely looking for confirmation without the slightest hint of reality. Are you Nick?
Quite so. Sparky confuses incidence with trend - he looks at stories in the newspaper and decides that things are getting worse, when there's not reason to think any such thing. To the contrary, despite the appalling situation in Syria and elsewhere if you look at the bigger picture almost all the quality of life indicators for the global population
as a whole have improved - life expectancy, literacy, disease elimination etc. If you're locked in though to the end of times daftness you won't see all that because the reporting of it is much less than the more immediate stories that attract press coverage.
I've pointed him towards the evidence about this but he just ignores it, presumably because he has a bad case of confirmation bias.
I'm also with Torri by the way about treating him as bonkers but essentially harmless - a bit like a horoscope column. I read relish in some of the threats he makes about the supposed fate of those who don't buy his vapid assertions, his comments about cancer in the past have been despicable, and these alleged "calculations" that clearly don't exist strike me as dishonesty too.
