On this point you are wrong. Over 95% of scientists agree that humans are responsible for the relatively rapid changes occurring right now.

One of them is what do we do about the huge number of regulatory bodies of which we're a part? Stay a member? Do our own version? Find another one?

The latest one is do we stay a member of Euratom as the government says no: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017...aty-allies-eu/ This is a treaty that allows joint research, smooth transport of nuclear materials and parts and so on.

This was never mentioned in the referendum. Even the campaign manager of Leave is joining those in the nuclear industry and scientists in thinking this is stupid.

And this the problem with the 'Brexit means Brexit' line and the 'we know what we voted for' response to any concerns about any approach in how we leave. We're deciding the future of our membership in a pan-European nuclear agreement based on a 52%-48% answer to a question which had little to do with how we manage nuclear research. So at the moment we're pulling out of a working agreement against the advice of almost everyone connected to the industry because Brexit means Brexit.

Are you happy to stand by your post regarding predictions? Are experts generally wrong?

There are quite a number of parallels. Are you happy to stand by your post regarding predictions? Are experts generally wrong in your considered opinion?

You obviously don't know me well. I always stand by everything I post, including instructions to remain on topic. I suggest you follow them.

If a majority of reports surrounding Brexit suggest that the outcome will only make us poorer we should simply ignore it because it is a 'prediction'?
