They actually did reply. They wrote the answers on a piece of paper and burned it, thus making the Earth’s atmosphere a high potency dilution of their response.

It's where I might have to get the sun that's worrying me at the moment.

Don’t worry – I’m eating lots of greens. The chlorophyll will oxygenate my blood, right….?

I think you should start breathing normally again jon. They don’t seem to be commenting on this post and I’m concerned that your diminished or moderated breathing may have adverse health effects if maintained for too long a period of time.

Michael, I see your point but this does not distract from the fact that they invited questions, and agreed to take place in a public debate. Poor-quality questions often happen in these kinds of debate, and there are various ways to deal with them – ignore them, humor them, or call them out as childish by all means.

But there were a lot of simple, well-stated, substantive questions on the thread too. Yes, they were difficult questions to answer, and the answers may have been uncomfortable. Even so, some answer is better than none at all.

I hope that the Grauniad follows up on this one.

Did they really think they were just going to get loads of questions like, “I’ve been feeling a bit run down – what would you recommend?”

How naive.
