97% of the worlds scientific community agree that there is adequate evidence that the current heating of the Earth is due to man made Climate change. So @Bertie is far closer to the Scientific concensus than those opposed to his views. The 8 hottest years recorded have all occurred since 2015 and in 2022 the UK recorded 40°C in several areas for the first time. The last 3 weeks of July have been the hottest ever recorded. Yes there have been times when the Earth warmed and cooled, but the difference this time is the speed at which the climate is heating up. We simply cannot afford to continue using fossil fuels as they cause climate change. You may not like that but it’s a fact and we all of us owe it to our children, grandchildren and future generations to stop using these planet destroying substances. If you dont agree please feel free to offer your alternatives. But dont resort to shooting the messenger.
Just for clarity, the ‘garbage’ that I was referring to were the claims that not only would the 2030 date be brought forward (when it’s obvious that it will have to move back, as take up of EVs and the infrastructure are both woefully behind target in order to meet that date) but primarily that 2030 would be the end of all ICE cars. Nothing to do with my views on climate change, just common sense.
There are a number of wacky posts and crazy conspiracy theories that get spouted on this forum from time to time, but that one was amongst the best!
