"I prefer the views of scientists. Mrs Thatcher, a chemist, was among the first of the political elite to recognise the threat. " is that ALL scientists? Both those who practise the religion of climatology and the ones who don't? I hardly think maggie thatch was the first. ....people on earth have been praying to the gods of sun, moon, wind, rain, thunder etc since the dawn of time | |||

" I've heard that many people use €500 notes for but when I tried it with my McCoke, even when I pushed it most of the way through the hole at the top so that only a centimetre was showing, I couldn't get to most of inside. I'd heard that apparently they sniff the but when I tried sniffing my McCoke through the straw it almost made me choak, hurt like hell and I couldn't even taste it. Personally I think all these stories of rich city folk sniffing through €500 notes is just another urban myth. I mean why would you when you can just take the top of and drink it? Even more unbelievable is that this forum won't let me post a comment with choak spelt correctly. LOL | |||

There were anomalous temperature spikes all the way to Finland.The anomalies were all 20 to 30 degrees higher than average. Just more data points on the graph . Elsewhere the far right mocked an autistic girl relentlessly on the inter web . " good work bob! Now post the evidence that proves that womankind is the cause of these spikes. Should be easy enough....all that human activity in the arctic an' all. The highest levels in human history? What were the levels before humans and cow farts came into existance?

The smoking gun is the isotopic fingerprint of Woman/Man/no gender specific made co2 ,you see it's a completely different signature than co2 realised from let's say rotting biomass . Science it's brilliant stuff to solve puzzles We even have ice cores to back up the data. Just another data point on the graph brother. I had the kipturds round my place I kept them busy pulling apart their ethnic cleansing xenophobic agenda to purify these isles.I wished a pox upon them and we shook hands an parted ways.All very amicable. | |||

"China is up to 38% of its energy coming from renewables.Its shelved plans for 80 coal powered stations.It is building coal plants in other countries using technology that has now been banned in China.Its just business for the Chinese .They are driving down the cost of solar panels which is now making solar power cheaper to produce electricity than coal fired stations. No other country has put itself in a better position to become the world’s renewable energy superpower than China. " Yawn...CO2 emissions have risen year on year in China since 2001. | |||

China’s CO2 emissions fell from 2013 to 2016 due to a shift away from smokestack industries However in 2016 the Chinese government kick-started another construction boom that has seen demand for steel and other construction materials surge, driving up coal use and emissions in China and pushing global emissions back to growth. China's co2 emissions grew by 3 % last year despite a record number of solar plants. Data data data | |||

"I'll have a look and I stand corrected then if it's true. " No problem. I may also be wrong as the data presented only goes up to 2017. Also a financial times article presents a different graft which shows CO2 emissions fell from 2010 to 2015 and then rose year on year after. I guess it depends on who supplies the initial date whether it's China itself or independent bodies. | |||

"But i overheard a bloke (pissed off his tits) down the pub say that 'C02 was important for the survival of plant life..... That C02 levels from insects and termites are way above those of folks'... after he staggered back from the gents with piss stains on his leather jeans he went on to say that 'wind farms are killing countless pollenating insects needed for survival of crops and flora...not to mention birds (feathered variety)... and that climate cardinals haven't provided any evidence that has been agreed by all sections of the scientific community that backs up the claim that C02 makes the weather god angry'... I went out on a limb for you bob....i jumped up and said 'bollocks mate! I read that an englandshire bloke only n an internet fuck site says that everything broadcast and printed on the mainstream media is TRUE!'. I've since been barred from said pub ... landlord must be a commie-nazi, extreme right wing, leftist, hitler supporting marxist....only explaination" The increase in co2 has greened up the earth .plants are loving it.The oceans not so much.You can google why if ya like. Enough science for me for now work beckons. | |||

"Facing up to our own individual and collective responsibility for climate change is scary and many people feel both powerless to take action and inconvenienced by changes which we need to make. Popularists feed on this powerlessness and are always feeding people the lie of a better tomorrow with no payback. " Good summary. Quite often big problems require complex answers. A simple answer is much more satisfactory though. Deny or blame someone else. It's not happening or it's China's fault. Apparently. | |||

"That's the real green issue. Chucking stuff away and making the globe untidy. Fines for littering, fly tipping, waterway pollution, air pollution etc...there can be little arguement. In my opinion there shoud be prison sentences handed out to those who choose to remove trees, hedgerows and habitats for no good reason....and the biggest no good reasons these days are 5G and clearing spaces for shopping centres. As for people getting sun tans in the month of May....not even Jess Phillips, Donald Trump or Greta Thunderbird can control solar activity....Bono can tho....he IS god after all.

"Whilst climate change is part of the natural cycle and it have happened before we was on earth, although we do make it worse and we need to be greener." You're right Shag that the world's climate has had natural changes, however the current period of heating, since the industrial age, is largely due to human cause. There are some nutjob rightwingers who are trying to perhaps distract from the atrocities that they are causing, by pointing the finger at people such as your fellow Swedish citizen Greta Thunberg and generally deflecting in any way that they can, whilst they continue to pursue severe damage to the planet. Nigel Farage, Trump and others are right wingers who try to rubbish the clear facts by talking of conspiracy theories etc. How anyone could trust such selfish, loathsome individuals is beyond me to wipe their arses cleanly, let alone in politics, is beyond me, they are such dirty individuals. | |||

" Good to mention clearing of growing plants - we should be planting more, clearing less and I'm definitely for protection of hedgerows and trees appropriately.Councils could save money, if they reduced their cutting of many bushes and trees. The wanton destruction of rainforest for industrial plantation of Palm oil trees is inexcusable.I'd slap immediate fines onto UK producers and retails for use of palm oil, as it's people like us as consumers who are helping to destroy rainforests. Severe penalties for palm oil use would ensure that they found replacements for it much more quickly. | |||

"Consumerism is a greater issue than Clinate change .We need to get back to a sustainable model . Earth Overshoot Day the point at which humans use more than the world’s resources takes place earlier and earlier each year. This year it will fall in July. Up until the 1970s, the planet was able to produce more than we consumed on an annual basis, now we are using up resources at a rate of 1.7 Earths a year. This isn't sustainable.We must face up to this reality because until we face our problems we won't be able to change them and truth is we won't know if we can change until we try. " 100%, I take the view that it's most likely already too late to prevent some of the damage as the actions proposed aren't drastic enough nor the penalties for not taking action robust enough. | |||

" We're in a situation with several acute problems that need immediate action to mitigate these threats from becoming so much worse than they need to be. Some of the things that we can do can potentially benefit more than one of these looming catastrophes - reducing our input that's creating more global heating could also reduce pollution, ecological damage and species extinction, whilst improving on our levels of resource destruction. We can and need to do several things, many of them having significant effects on the way that we live and assume we can carry on regardless. Governments generally are doing too little to minimise our damage and populist right wing politicians seem particularly bad for denying that major global heating exists and thus needs remedial action. No political leaning is probably free of this, except for the Green parties. | |||
