There was a big piece on this on the Irish news as well:

Haven’t the Tories recently green-lit building a new coal mine in the midlands?

There is no longer planning, because unpopular decisions cost votes.

Ultimately the planet is screwed, and us humans are largely to blame.

It won't be fixed. It is too late

*long-term

while cold events have become less frequent and less severe

This video is very interesting. Sadly a big issue is that so many people are convinced they can’t change anything on their own and are being gaslighted into thinking that just because it was hot in the 70’s a couple of times that these things are just normal events.

The media witch-hunt around Greta Thunberg is evil and whichever pro-industry megacuuuunts are funding these smear campaigns no doubt will be the first to move to luxury, climate change proof retreats as the waters rise and the forests burn.

pc gone mad just the msm media trying too control us what they didnt report is that its actually COLDER today then it was yesterday so its actually cooling not warming but they wont report that in the msm media will they

Dwight, how's Fla. doing with that civic thingy?

*covid.

Is the sea actually rising or is it that the land is just sinking?

Be interesting to see the anti immigration folk reaction to millions of people having to move to their countries because their homes have been decimated.

Until it's treated as an emergency, with daily wall to wall coverage (much like we've seen with Covid), nothing is going to happen.

And it will only be treated as an emergency through public pressure, because those in power have no particular interest in uprooting the current political & economic arrangements they uphold & benefit from.

Last I checked still toe to toe with California on infections but lagging behind in vaccinations

Interestingly enough Jakarta - the Indonesian capital of 30 million people is sinking and rising water levels mean that Indonesia is moving its capital elsewhere. Probably the first big victim of climate change. I imagine places like the Maldives and others are next.

Everything will be fine

Elon & Bezos will create a satellite that is powerful enough to freeze large swathes of the Arctic and Antarctic

It will be their next race when they’ve finished with this space thingy

Yep, estimated to be hundreds of millions of displaced people in the next few decades. No doubt Nigel Farage will be there with a megaphone telling them to live in houseboats instead of coming to Europe.

This is already somewhat happening as a consequence of drought & the consequence shortages in food/water that predictably follow. It will of course keep getting worse.

Their race will be to build ships for the rich to go to a less facked planet.

Go vegan, people.

Or at least less meaty.

The Amazon is emitting more Co2 than it absorbs. Oh how I wish Bolsonaro would get the worst case of Covid

No you’d actually be surprised

Take a look at ‘climate repair’

One area that’s being investigated at the moment is ‘brightening’ the clouds above the poles by spraying salt into them reflecting radiation back to space which would supposedly help refreeze large areas

I only eat Irish beef so not to affect UK temperatures can let Ireland take all the heat rises and we look after are own.

Pescatarian surely, more sea, more room for fish to breed

At least the fish come ready wrapped in plastic these days...

Not sure if this is a joke but you may want to research the devastation that fishing causes the oceans and the impact this has on climate change.
