I think Berty has taken the obvious and confused it with conjecture.
The climate has been getting warmer year on year, no denying that, and the contribution is global and from various sources, even cows farting in the wind, thawing Alaskan permafrost and so on. Yes, man is responsible for most of it.
You fail to make a distinction between those that have a controlling interest and those that are in power. Let us not be naive about it.
The government pays subsidies to encourage exploration in UK waters. Shell made £32bn while BP pulled in £23bn last year, but their investments into renewable energies paled significantly in comparison; Shell invested only 10% of what it placed into oil and gas projects into its green portfolio, while BP reduced its ambition for emission-cutting targets from 35-40% by 2030 down to 20-30%.
The IMF pays subsidies itself and does not place any curb or targets on reducing subsidies as it looks at the global market, developing nations and those that produce. If you honestly think that the current situation will change anything, you are sadly mistaken. These natural events occur yearly in the USA, Canada, Australia, some parts of Europe and beyond. These rubbish pledges for carbon offsetting and the other ‘words of the month’ they like throwing around have achieved nothing thus far. Infact, year after year carbon neutral timelines have been pushed back again and again, and the world’s elite do not care enough about other people save them, they only care about their own bank accounts.
Humanity is only humanity when all are treated the same regardless of their skin tone, religious beliefs and geography!
