Climate change

And I'm still asking if " And one could tell by how he walked

So jet setting Greta has landed in Madrid after speaking in New York a few months ago has become TIME magazines Person of the Year. Good for her at least when I get on a flight to Kenya in April (8,500 miles) and Dominican Republic in June (8,500 miles) and recently Goa, India in November (9,800 miles) I'm not claiming that I'm trying to reduce world climate emissions. Perhaps she should just stay at home and make video messages on her phone instead. Hypocrite springs to mind as she claimed to have been all over the world aged 16 years young. I had not left the UK until being taken on holiday to Tenerife when I was 15 by my parents.

Only 650 MP's to be elected in the UK yet there are thousands of candidates driving and train riding about, then all their followers, then the party 'Big Beasts' and their crowd including journalists hitting it about all around the country.

 

The carbon emissions of this fiasco seems to not be of concern other than the odd electric bus being used.

It is like everything else about reducing pollution, it is for others to do.

Iceland being battered by 120mph winds and upto 2 metres of snow. Must be Global Warming and we are likely to have a little taste of this storm with Aviemore already having a dusting of snow.

[Ootohere]

Aviemore is in a valley.

More than a dusting around the Cairgorms, and the Ski season should be underway. They are ready to open centres because they have had the Snow Factories producing snow to get tows and runs open for this weekend and the holidays.

With every Australian state reaching temperatures of 40C and Moscow having to use artificial snow for the New Year celebrations due to the warmest winter since 1886 I'm beginning to think buying winter tyres in the UK is a waste of time and money.

[Ootohere]

^^^ Only if in the next 3 months there is no winter weather where you drive.

You might have a day or 3 while you are away on holiday and they would be a waste.

 

Mark Carney has a nice new gig as a Envoy to the UK on Climate Change and Finance.

He will be getting plenty air miles in with the rest of the UN so adding to climate change and his finances.

Record high December temperature on the 18th in Moscow of 5.6C.

[Ootohere]

Much the same in Moscow Scotland today.

[shyVRS245]

Next Tuesday and Wednesday in London forecasters are predicting 13C which is 3-5C warmer than the average for January. Might be time for summer tyres to go back on.

[Ootohere]

So basically just the usual.   It is a mild winter so far.

In Scotland in the past 10 days there has been a record overnight temp of 16.8*oC, and elsewhere in Scotland -7*oC in the past 10 days overnight.

Jan, Feb & March being when there is likely to be snow, maybe even lambing snow into April.

Air quality in Melbourne, Australia officially measured at the worst of any City anywhere in the World. This is not some 3rd World struggling country yet Top Tennis players can't breathe on court without an oxygen tank strapped to their back. Just to back this up with some hard hitting facts these are recent particle measurement comparisons. 

London rush hour 161 PM2.5

Delhi                         571 PM2.5

Melbourne               909 PM2.5

...and London rush hour is pretty grim, by UK standards

[Liger1956]

..... and Melbourne's figure is due to the bush fires. It is not normally that high.

Yeah but what causes bush fires? Heat, drought and strong winds which are all climate issues not man made.

So you don't accept the premise that humans have contributed to the CO2 levels and in doing so have affected the climate?

Good to see that someone questions media coverage.  Get tore into Dad.

That should please Lee only 18 more years of pollution.

[Ootohere]

It is not easy for Germany with not much natural resources if they are not going to have nuclear and need to get gas in from Russia.

2038 is an 'at the latest' target so they could shut down before that  What sort of figure for compensation is appropriate in your opinion?

2038 at the latest and a significant cut in coal production by 2022 so emissions from coal will start to be reduced even further after then
