Are You Worried About Climate Change?
Is it acceptable for this government to ask us to make expensive changes to our lifestykes such as buying electric cars and scrapping gas fired central heating boilers among other things and enshrining in law that we must be carbon neutral by some arbitrary date when no other country on the planet has made such promises. Add this to the fact we only produce 2% of worlds emissions. Are we cutting our own throats to prove how virtuous we are while the biggest polluters of the world carry on as normal?

//I can point to the fact that they [China] are doing a lot more than us.// They have the scope. China's emissions per capita increased by around 360% between 1990 and today. India's increased by a similar amount. There is not a cat in Hell's chance of those two countries reducing their emissions to the same level (per capita) as the UK. As usual the UK will be near...

If you do not believe in man-made climate change then you do not believe in science I’m afraid…

I cannot help noticing that climate denialism comes heavily from the right… why is that? Margaret Thatcher was no lefty and grasped the issue and there are some tories who want to act… i think that belief in climate change is seen by some as being a “left wing” thing and that’s enough for some people to abandon their principles and oppose it for the sake of opposing it… how pathetic if true.

'It's like Covid, you have to listen to the scientists'
No you don't. We don't live in a technocracy, thank goodness.
Anyway, there are plenty of scientists, Covid and MMGW, with differing views which are, of course, ignored by the cultists and suppressed by the stake-holders.
The Eviro mental racket is being driven by big energy and chemical behemoths. Go figure.

I think it’s partly a libertarian thing : “I’m not going to be told what I can and can’t do”
as well as “I’m certainly not going to be told what to do by a bunch of tree huggers” In this respect people like Extinction Rebellion don’t really help. Like it or not this has to be “sold” carefully to sceptics.
and moreover it’s all a conspiracy by them and people who think they’re better than me because they have some “qualifications”
Which is odd, because if anything you’d think accusations of conspiracy ought to relate to covering it all up
