"The WMO (the organisation tasked with monitoring and predicting the world's climate and weather has announced that a critical watershed of 1.5 degrees above preindustrial levels will be reached in only four years time. I am profoundly concerned about this, and 20 years ago I implemented very drastic changes in my own home to cut my consumption of fossil fuel derived energy. Furthermore,I no longer drive an ICE-engined car. Has anyone else cut their consumption, and if so in what way?" Tbf Jabal why would people sit up and take notice when their own governments don't, all their intrested in jumping on the bus,converting this into a lucrative scheme to fund their purchase. Rant over  | |||

"I drive electric also and instead of turning on the heating I put in another jacket. I drink lots of cold water that my body heats up for free and when nature calls, I release into a hot water bottle for bedtime. Winner winner chicken dinner. " Congratulations....first time I've ever seen pissing in a hot water bottle as a planet saving tip Maybe a woman could squirt into one Save the planet.....finger blast | |||

"I’m last 10000 years our climate was constantly getting colder. In fact we live in the coldest era of last 10000 years. If the temperatures rise 1,5 degrees- and they do since late 1800,s not much gonna change. Someone wasn’t honest with you and you didn’t check it. " I spy with my little eye someone that watched a certain episode of Joe Rogan haha | |||

Why would one dismiss it because of bias of personality - even a broken clock is right twice a day. With all that’s happened the last number of years, the truth is hardest found and the foolish easily listened to. Wicked problems are manna from heaven for the political fraternity, we've had a climate catastrophe supposed to happen for decades, but none have passed. Ice age predicted in the 70's, run out of oil in the 70's/80's, Acid rain in the 80's, Drought in the 80's, the rising sea in the 90's (how are we still buying property on coastlines, why would banks mortgage such properties, how can we insure them?), the Ozone layer in the 90's, polar cap to melt !!! the list goes on and on and on.

"Interestingly Greta’s new book is largely of the view (many experts in the field have separate chapters) that individual actions have little impact. It’s about governments exerting pressure on the energy companies . Ireland will be one of the few countries that might initially benefit from global warming before it all goes tits up. Our summers will be pleasant whilst Europe is intolerably hot. We might even start producing wine . It’s one of those topics where it’s important to steer clear of catastrophic predictions (very bad for our sanity) and be suspicious of those trying to profit from green interventions . Only solid science guiding sensible interventions is the way forward. " Agreed, It is far too late for individual action to have any effect, even, in my opinion for gov initiatives to impact emissions. We may well start producing wine, the coming changes will demand a very resourceful reaction. Ms. | |||

"No really cryptic at all . A rapidly growing human population is putting us in the throes of extinction. With a population that increased three-fold since 1950, food, water, and a whole lot more required for sustenance of life in the future will be in short supply. In fact, we are surviving today by stealing from the future. Hence, it is not unlikely that once the population reaches a "critical mass," natural resources vital to our survival will not be adequate enough to support us, unless we can replace them with sustainable alternatives. As a result, starvation will bring us face-to-face with extinction. According to the most recent figures, wildlife populations have plunged by an average of 69% between 1970 and 2018. The abundance of mammals, birds, fish, amphibians and reptiles is falling fast, as populations of sea lions, sharks, frogs and salmon collapse. The declines have been particularly calamitous in Latin America and the Caribbean, which has seen a 94% drop in the average wildlife population size. Africa has had the second largest fall at 66%, followed by Asia and the Pacific with 55% and North America at 20%. Europe and Central Asia experienced an 18% fall. Humans v nature: our long and destructive journey to the age of extinction These declines do not mean that nearly 70% of animals have been wiped out in just 48 years. It means populations have dramatically fallen and extinction risk is growing, although it is not distributed equally. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/environment/2022/dec/06/the-biodiversity-crisis-in-numbers-a-visual-guide-aoe I would go so far as to say those who say they don't see it ... are selfish or scared .

It's makes me laugh it's like saying the wind blew west yesterday and today it's blowing northwest! Yep that's it climate change ! You virtue signalling chaps are great ! Pure genius. I'll have a bet with anyone that costal sea levels won't rise in the next five years on the coast of Ireland- unlike Grettas or Al Gores predictions!

I'll let the vegan goat cut the grass. He's only got the one word but it makes sense. As Mark Twain a quotable modern philosopher said "Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience" happy Friday
Stupid .... those who substitute factual information for opinions and beliefs..... but hey if nothing else, they highlight the need for science. Thank you
*The Science* or Science ? We have two to contend with. Happy Friday "Only 2 for those who substitute

The climate panic is a fallacy and the reports that originally started this panic have now been proven as false, in fact many climatologists believe that additional Co2 is beneficial to the plant and has contributed to our success in farming and growing foods.

Extreme drought was felt around the world, especially in the Horn of Africa, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Turkey. In Eastern Africa, areas of Ethiopia, Kenya, and Somalia are experiencing the worst drought in 40 years. Last year, the hole in the ozone layer over Antarctica exceeded the size of Africa. Nearly a quarter of the world's farmable lands are degraded. Climate events in 2017 had the biggest impact on hunger and malnutrition in Africa, affecting 59 million people in 24 countries. Climate change could push 122 million more people, mainly farmers, into extreme poverty by 2030. | |||

Nearly a quarter of the world's farmable lands are degraded.
Climate events in 2017 had the biggest impact on hunger and malnutrition in Africa, affecting 59 million people in 24 countries.
Climate change could push 122 million more people, mainly farmers, into extreme poverty by 2030.
"Lot's of text did you copy that from somewhere?, there is no climate apocalypse happening. Your uncritical approach to research has you blinded. Please look at the research from the IPCC - moral virtue isn't going to generate solutions. Are you happy to starve most of the world to facilitate and blame it on Climate Change, your stats on the warming planet are based on limited data. Look over a longer timescale. Seriously though look at the IPCC research read it carefully. You'll be happy to know that it's not at all doom and gloom. I know it's hard to change your viewpoint, but this is the true measure of intelligence. | |||

Human-induced global warming has already caused multiple observed changes in the climate system (high confidence). Changes include increases in both land and ocean temperatures, as well as more frequent heatwaves in most land regions (high confidence). There is also (high confidence) global warming has resulted in an increase in the frequency and duration of marine heatwaves. Further, there is substantial evidence that human-induced global warming has led to an increase in the frequency, intensity and/or amount of heavy precipitation events at the global scale (medium confidence), as well as an increased risk of drought in the Mediterranean region
Climate models project robust differences in regional climate between present-day and global warming up to 1.5°C, and between 1.5°C and 2°C (high confidence), depending on the variable and region in question (high confidence).
Limiting global warming to 1.5°C instead of 2°C could result in around 420 million fewer people being frequently exposed to extreme heatwaves, and about 65 million fewer people being exposed to exceptional heatwaves,
The probability of a sea-ice-free Arctic Ocean during summer is substantially higher at 2°C compared to 1.5°C of global warming (medium confidence).
The ocean has absorbed about 30% of the anthropogenic carbon dioxide, resulting in ocean acidification and changes to carbonate chemistry that are unprecedented for at least the last 65 million years (high confidence). Risks have been identified for the survival, calcification, growth, development and abundance of a broad range of marine taxonomic groups, ranging from algae to fish, with substantial evidence of predictable trait-based sensitivities (high confidence).
Seriously I could go on
I'm not sure if you're picking pieces from a peer review in order to further an agenda Or maybe you had your mind set on climate change not being real under incapable of changing that perception?
There is no getting away from the fact the world is changing around us in detrimental ways to animals humans and the oceans. Do deny as a species that we have not massively magnified the rate of these events... honestly is just down right denial.
Oh and it has nothing to do with moral whatever you called it

"The latest information is that the 1.5 degree temp threshold will be crossed only temporarily, but we are inexorably heading in the wrong direction, in the longer term."

"Look at the people I mentioned and their work. after that we can debate on both sides. It's not a fact that we have caused any warming, NOT A FACT!. Are we a dirty bunch of Apes, Fact. You mention progress, but you’ve missed the causality, it was for necessity we developed. You mention Africa, look at what the African states say about what us Westerners do to them. We consume their resources, but won't loan them the money to develop. Pull the other one, 99% of Africans live in abject poverty. We shackle them and more so with our climate activism, the greatest element to pull people from poverty is energy, and again if it was absolutely necessary we would have cleaner free energy, but we don’t. the US Secretary of Energy stated that it would cost $50 Trillion to be carbon neutral but had no clue as to what percentage it will help the environment, “someone gets the money”. Carbon Neutral? that science doesn’t know whether it has any material effect on climate. Look I’m not saying we shouldn’t seek to be more friendly and less of a pollutant, but science does not agree with your synopsis of cataclysmic catastrophe, it’s fear-mongering and panic spreading with your doom and gloom evangelism. Just to add, for 000’s of millennia the planet has done its thing, it is the most complex quantum computer there is, at many periods of time the planet has been in flux, to think that this giant organism cannot be the cause and solution is simply silly. Why don’t you challenge the panic spreaders from the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, 90’s 00’s the end of life that never came to pass? Why when these fear pushers have been wrong each and every time, we allow the narrative to change to keep going another number of years, why not question their truth? Why did we go from Global warming to climate change? Come on, we must challenge the nonsense. Let us all be eternal students, and let debate flourish and sense prevail, note I didn’t say common sense, as there is nothing so rare. Having sense like many would mean we should all Swim to Africa and live off the land like our prehistoric ancestors. | |||

"Your honesty full of it and thats the great thing about writing. Its permanent for everyone to see
Here is your facts .
You :
Everyone except the elite are poorer
Fact:
The world has made significant progress in reducing global poverty over the past few decades, according to the World Bank. In 1990, 1.9 billion people lived in extreme poverty, representing 36% of the world's population. By 2019, this number had fallen to 9.2% — about 703 million people.
You :
climate change is simply not happening
Fact:
These new findings from the IPCC are alarming. The recent observations and measurements reflected in the report dispel any doubts that the global climate is changing and that human activities have caused most of the observed changes in the past 50 years.
It is 'very likely' that increases in man-made greenhouse gas emissions have caused most of the rise in globally averaged temperatures since the middle of the 20th century. It is 'extremely unlikely' that this warming was due to natural climate variability alone.
You : you choose to focus on a small few who suggest possible aturnatives in a peer review .
Fact:
Yes, the vast majority of actively publishing climate scientists – 97 percent – agree that humans are causing global warming and climate change. Most of the leading science organizations around the world have issued public statements expressing this, including international and U.S. science academies, the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and a whole host of reputable scientific bodies around the world. A list of these organizations is provided
More than 99.9% of peer-reviewed scientific papers agree that climate change is mainly caused by humans, according to a new survey of 88,125 climate-related studies.
The research updates a similar 2013 paper revealing that 97% of studies published between 1991 and 2012 supported the idea that human activities are altering Earth’s climate. The current survey examines the literature published from 2012 to November 2020 to explore whether the consensus has changed.
“We are virtually certain that the consensus is well over 99% now and that it’s pretty much case closed for any meaningful public conversation about the reality of human-caused climate change,
Me: climate change is real , we are accelerating it at a catastrophic rate due to consumption. This is having devastating effects on the environment.
Fact :
Every year, we extract an estimated 55 billion tons of fossil energy, minerals, metals and bio mass from the Earth.
The world has already lost 80% of its forests and we’re continually losing them at a rate of 375 km2 per day!
At the current rate of deforestation, 5-10% of tropical forest species will become extinct every decade.
Every hour, 1,692 acres of productive dry land become desert.
27% of our coral reefs have been destroyed. If the rate continues, remaining 60% will be gone in 30 years.
We have a garbage island floating in our ocean, mostly comprised of plastics - the size of India, Europe and Mexico combined!
We are using up 50% more natural resources than the Earth can provide. At our current population, we need 1.5 Earths, which we do not have.

Here is your facts .
You :
Everyone except the elite are poorer
Fact:
The world has made significant progress in reducing global poverty over the past few decades, according to the World Bank. In 1990, 1.9 billion people lived in extreme poverty, representing 36% of the world's population. By 2019, this number had fallen to 9.2% — about 703 million people.
You :
climate change is simply not happening
Fact:
These new findings from the IPCC are alarming. The recent observations and measurements reflected in the report dispel any doubts that the global climate is changing and that human activities have caused most of the observed changes in the past 50 years.
It is 'very likely' that increases in man-made greenhouse gas emissions have caused most of the rise in globally averaged temperatures since the middle of the 20th century. It is 'extremely unlikely' that this warming was due to natural climate variability alone.
You : you choose to focus on a small few who suggest possible aturnatives in a peer review .
Fact:
Yes, the vast majority of actively publishing climate scientists – 97 percent – agree that humans are causing global warming and climate change. Most of the leading science organizations around the world have issued public statements expressing this, including international and U.S. science academies, the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and a whole host of reputable scientific bodies around the world. A list of these organizations is provided
More than 99.9% of peer-reviewed scientific papers agree that climate change is mainly caused by humans, according to a new survey of 88,125 climate-related studies.
The research updates a similar 2013 paper revealing that 97% of studies published between 1991 and 2012 supported the idea that human activities are altering Earth’s climate. The current survey examines the literature published from 2012 to November 2020 to explore whether the consensus has changed.
“We are virtually certain that the consensus is well over 99% now and that it’s pretty much case closed for any meaningful public conversation about the reality of human-caused climate change,
Me: climate change is real , we are accelerating it at a catastrophic rate due to consumption. This is having devastating effects on the environment.
Fact :
Every year, we extract an estimated 55 billion tons of fossil energy, minerals, metals and bio mass from the Earth.
The world has already lost 80% of its forests and we’re continually losing them at a rate of 375 km2 per day!
At the current rate of deforestation, 5-10% of tropical forest species will become extinct every decade.
Every hour, 1,692 acres of productive dry land become desert.
27% of our coral reefs have been destroyed. If the rate continues, remaining 60% will be gone in 30 years.
We have a garbage island floating in our ocean, mostly comprised of plastics - the size of India, Europe and Mexico combined!
We are using up 50% more natural resources than the Earth can provide. At our current population, we need 1.5 Earths, which we do not have.
Me : undeniable facts speak for themselves... mic drop
Im out
You make me chuckle - And the mike drop bit. I'm honestly mortified for you. I left the unproductive conversation on my last message. Final thought, "If everyone is thinking alike, then someone isn't thinking" - George Patton"People arnt think . They are living and experiencing.
Appreciate your mortification on my part .... when you allow your ego to take the driving seat then you tend to see people that way . | |||
