Don't get me started!
Sorry, I can't stop myself.
It is a serious subject but if our fight to save the planet was based on correct data, maybe we could get on with it without the hysteria. In the UK everyone should be recycling, everyone should be using water sparingly and everyone should be keeping an eye on their thermostats; fires; cookers; dryers; hot water and anything else that in many cases makes excessive demands on our fossil fuels. Don't forget your electric car!
The hysteria over our carbon footprints is just unnecessary. Pollution is a different story and yes improved technology to reduce it would be wonderful. The same goes to reducing the amount of palm oil used in so many products now while key habitats are demolished to make way for its growth.
The World Meteorological Organization says that the alarmist narrative on climate change has gone off the rails and they criticised the news media for provoking unjustified anxiety. It is true. Some children are starting to fret over the news they are bombarded with, which is quite unnecessary. Even when I took my Granddaughter to Winchester Science Centre, one of the presenters there was telling the children to eat less meat to help save the planet! Oh please. Maybe said presenter will forego her holiday in Europe too.
How many scientists coming up with all these "facts" are paid by major companies whose self interests determine what they want to hear. If you were given a £2 million grant to research rising sea levels with a promise of further money would you go out of your way to make sure the results reflected the need for further research? Or am I being too cynical?
Facts exist that others don't want to hear. They muddy their own research. Such as between 1790 & 1830, when there was reduced solar output (like now), the cold caused the loss of crops and famine. It was believed that reduced solar output also caused severe volcanic eruptions. In 1815 the weather was even cold in the summer and the climate was a big talking point. 200 years later and ...
However, the Global Warming brigade seem to ignore such solar data and keep banging their Global Warming CO2 gong.
Meanwhile others demonstrate because they are taking the scaremongering "facts" as truth.
Individuals should do some research first before believing everything they're told. The same goes for Greta and her fawners. Meanwhile, demonstrating groups leave loads of rubbish behind them after they have demonstrated. Yes, really environmentally friendly!
Okay, I'll shut up now even though I wanted to also share the disaster of wind farms, especially now major players are on the brink and laying off employees because they can't stay feasible without all the subsidies they have been receiving ...
