Denial is part of it but I'm of the opinion that there is an awful lot of people who just don't give it a great deal of thought. Yeah they've heard of it but what with Love Island, United getting dicked 4-0 at Brentford (laff innit?) and a new tattoo booked in for Thursday they've got a lot on. Not much they can do - it's for someone else to sort out. In a nutshell, that's exactly what it is , people don't care. I think that people do care, but there is also an element of “what is one person going to do”? It would be interesting to see an actual climate agenda be the centre of labour’s or the the conservative’s agenda in the next cycle and see what happens. |

Another simple solution to aid crop growth in the desert areas With these I always hold out hope that they have cracked it. But sadly to date, pretty much every one of these has been nothing more than scams. www.indiegogo.com/projects/waterseerThat was the last big one making the same claim I recall. The problems tended to boil down to a few usual issues. The fact water from dehumidifiers (which is all it would be since its extracting water from the air) isn't drinkable, not seen the usage for crops discussed before but the usual issue is bacteria/contaminant build ups so it would presumably depend on whatever it is that builds up in the water. Beyond a point you reach very quickly the energy required to continue extracting water is beyond what can be produced by the power system. In very low humidity environments like the desert it actually works worse and being solar powered in the desert you would suffer tremendous losses in the efficiency due to the blazing heat. Cynically it seems to be a straight forward one to get crowdfunding and even venture capital investments in because its something important globally plus they always go with the first angle of being charitable and looking to help those who are in the most distressed circumstances. |

We've got a drought going on and still no one is talking about global warming, the environment or even planting trees to give more shade. News is more focused on toilet facilities at beach resorts. How is the biggest issue the world faces not top of the media agenda. Denial. Plain and simple. Yes, if you ask people, they'll respond that they know what climate change is and that it's not a good thing. But no-one is really prepared to have their lifestyles changed to tackle it. I deliberately wrote lifestyles changed, not change their lifestyles because that is clearly not something most people are willing to do ie drive less, fly less, consume less etc etc. It's akin to being an alcoholic. We're addicted to a lifestyle that is quite possibly going to kill us all this century, but we can't or won't do anything about it. People can't afford energy bills, so what's the first thing proposed? Drop the environmental levies! It's mental. I imagine if you were a sentient animal despairing at what mankind has done to the planet so far, you'd probably be quite pleased about our denial over climate change. In a century or so, your descendants may well be in a position to get the planet back without mankind being in a position to fuck it up. Unfortunately, the collapse of civilisation is probably going to be precipitated by or accompanied by a catastrophic war, so animal life will suffer as well, but it'll recover in due course, whereas mankind with its post-industrial revolution reliance on all the creature comforts will not. This video clip I shared in another thread sums it up well. GBnews presenter: "I want us to be happy about the weather," calls the meteorologists "harbingers of doom," and she laughs. A couple of weeks later and around 1,500 deaths in the UK were attributed to the heatwave. |

A former colleague sent me this news today: We are excited to share the much-anticipated news that our #H2NorthEast project on #Teesside has today been given the green light by the Government to move forward to the due diligence stage of the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) Phase-2 Cluster Sequencing Process. This means we’re another significant step closer to building a 1GW #lowcarbon #hydrogen production facility in the heart of the Tees Valley, located on the site of our existing CATS terminal, that will support local industry decarbonisation, create hundreds of jobs and revitalise industrial heartlands. By 2027, H2NorthEast will deliver 355MW of low carbon hydrogen to local industry, upscaling to 1GW by 2030 and contributing up to 10% of the UK’s target hydrogen capacity. Read the full story to find out how H2NorthEast is helping put Teesside firmly on the map as a hydrogen Superplace www.kellasmidstream.com/news-kellas/success-for-kellas-h2northeast-hydrogen-project-in-latest-beis-announcement |

Each to this own i suppose mate, also depends if you buy into the whole climate change ethos. Some do some don't. It's funny how much alignment there is between Trump lovers, climate change deniers, right-wingers, Brexiteers, migrant-botherers, anti-union, pro-authoritarian, anti-woke obsessives etc. Not everyone, obviously, but the overlaps are pretty strong and consistent. No doubt you'd say the same about the flipsides of those positions. I wouldn't disagree. However, I'm fairly confident that only one of those groupings is an actual danger to the future of the human race, and it's not the tree-hugging "do-gooders". |

I think he means the type that glue themselves to motorways preventing emergency vehicles from attending their destination and those that bring cities to a stand still during rush hour and those vegetarian types that pickett abattoirs and steak houses. Just those that generally think they have a right to tell others what they should and shouldn't be doing really. Pompous middle class pricks like this |

If it’s forced on people then I’m fine with that Well I’m pleased you’ve found yourself in the position you can afford not to give a fuck about the cost There are millions in this country currently struggle to heat there homes Without the green agenda bullshit never mind when they’ve implemented it It’s time the environmentalists come clean and told the general public the true cost of saving the planet from the so called Armageddon Whilst people in Western Europe with little disposable income see their costs rise for environmentally friendly food and heating China carries on as normal IS China carrying on normal though ? Have you seen their hydro, solar, wind projects, greening of the deserts over the last few years, they are huge ? They also plan to have a space solar project up and running by the end of this decade, beaming light down from space to collect it at solar farms in places that are more cloudy. And don't forget, when you blame China, some of that Carbon is yours if you buy stuff that is made in China, stop buying shit we don't need or can source alternatively from a more environmentally supplier then that will reduce their carbon output. Government grants are available on some houses for insulation etc. for people on benefits, as are energy efficient boilers. Further evidence today that China is pushing on to reduce its emissions: www.birmingham.ac.uk/news/2022/carbon-reduction-study |

The stuff your corrupt leaders don't want you to see 😊 Great stuff - looking at that first graph, we’re below the 80s and 90s level. Interesting that there was a culture shift in relation to CFCs in the mid 90s/early 2000s which had an impact on the ozone layer recovery. See, this is the kind of thing that happens when scientists are listened to and habits change - particularly when it comes to impacts on our environment. Great post Rossi and thanks for sharing to prove scientists should be listened to. |

Suggest looking at subsequent graph before professing this is the result of a "change in culture" 😂🤣 Got to love aimless Green enthusiasm. P.s reference your point around science - if the last 3 years of catastrophic covid policy and abysmal decision making has taught us anything it is that one should always question "the science", particularly "government science". Its also taught us that scientists constantly disagree and that there are really good scientists and really bad scientists who make terrible and in some cases, dangerously corrupt decisions. Unfortunately, sometimes, really good scientists are censored because they go against what your leaders want you to hear. Incredible that this needs explaining in 2022. |

The subsequent graph aligns with that point as well (greater median coverage in the 80s/90s) - thanks for further backing it up. Good spot. Culture shift - not change in culture; subtle difference. Alternatives were found, not stopping everything. Important to note. |

The stuff your corrupt leaders don't want you to see 😊 A 10 year average is a simplistic way of looking at things, it's still below 1980s, 1990s and 2000s coverage, look at glaciers outside the artic circle on mountain ranges, and global average temperatures. While we were having record temperatures here, Australia were having record lows, and Mauritius was down at 10c a few times. Just look at the global average temperatures for the past 50 years. |

Picking out a few lines from the report to try and make a point and a headline ? In the report it says that at the time it was 44'c and everyone was using AC, and the grid was stretched, and it was only limiting between 4 and 9 pm. 44c quite normal, everyone carry on, nothing to see here .... On the rare occasion I charge my car at home not direct from the solar panels I do it after 11pm when the rate is at its lowest. |
