Now Rishi Is Going To Cop27

[lankeela]

wonder how long it will be before the antis start complaining he should be at home sorting out the problems here?

[THECORBYLOON]

Care to enlighten us with all the natural causes then?

Principally volcanic activity and emission from chemical activity in the oceans. Then there's animals' natural emissions (farting and belching), plants emitting CO2 at night. The list is quite extensive. But apparently it is the 4% for which humans are responsible (and, in particular the 1% of that for which the UK is responsible) that is causing all the trouble.

Do you have a source for your figures, NJ?

Naomi is right. It's a pointless jolly from a saving the planet point of view, but one which needs to be attended.

If all the other serious world leaders are going, he needs to be there too.

I have no strong feelings either way but it does seem a pointless waste of time and money when there are more immediate problems to address.

The experts say: "There is unequivocal evidence that Earth is warming at an unprecedented rate. Human activity is the principal cause."

I don't actually know - I'm not an expert - but I would believe experts over those that aren't - in any field. And most people would in most fields - I really don't know what the problem is in this particular case.

Oh gawd!! After reading that lot from NASA I think I need to get double-dosed on Valium, or something! The report blames human activity but gives no link to the proof. Tis natural folks. Don't be kidded by financial interests. :o)

Climate change is of no importance to me. It's natural. What's more concerning are things like plastic pollution and deforestation. Reports and scientific studies are not needed for these. They are there to see with your own eyes.

Even more annoying are these low emission zones, which are totally unnecessary and are just another tax on working people.
