what about the Isle of Man is it part of Britain or the UK.I think I understand the detail of our politics and history, yet I often say 'Britain' when, to be perfectly correct, I should say 'The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland'. Bit of a mouthful, isn't it?
As above, just say 'UK'.
Your awareness that 'Britain' does not include NI is not in doubt. But your definition just makes my point. It is lazy and inaccurate to confuse it with the UK. For a politician to do so is just demonstrating incompetence, as would confusing England with Britain.
No.
That's probably why someone decided to call "Great Britain, Northern Ireland, The Isle of Man and the Bailiwicks of Jersey and Guernsey" - the UK.

Or 'Britain' for short!
Photosynthesis.
Actually, all this green-eco-global-warming-carbon-footprint stuff doesn't interest me in the slightest. It has become a major political tool without any real evidence to support it. It seems to me that many people are not happy unless they have something to worry about.

No!! NI is not part of Britain, that's simply wrong.
And IOM and Jersey are not even part of the UK , never mind Britain!
Honestly ,I can't see why people don't know what makes up their own country and take pride in this knowledge! (In your cases it is ignorance , not stupidity and that's not meant to be derogatory )
I blame the schools, this should be standard fare, surely ?
Does anyone here remember doing geography or history?

And round and round and round it goes!
Maybe if it did interest you, you would realise the evidence is there in abundance to support AGW.Photosynthesis.

very many, with good research to support them.there are some scientists who claim that human intervention is causing 'global warming'.
A small number of eccentrics and nutters, with few if any genuine climatologists among them., there are others who maintain that any climate changes are purely natural phenomena
