Nerc reads riot act to discos

I think there may be some confusion here!

NERC stands for the Natural Environment Research Council, a UK-based organization that funds and supports research in the natural sciences, including environmental science, ecology, and geoscience.

Disco, on the other hand, is a genre of music that originated in the 1970s and is characterized by its upbeat, danceable rhythms and flashy fashion.

I'm not aware of any instance where NERC has ever "read the riot act" to discos. The phrase "read the riot act" is a idiomatic expression that means to scold or reprimand someone severely, often in a formal or official capacity. It's unlikely that NERC would ever use this phrase in relation to discos, as they are a scientific organization and not a music critic or authority!

If you could provide more context or clarify what you mean by "NERC reads riot act to discos", I'd be happy to try and help you further!
