My daughter in law is an Environmental scientist and works for one of the world s largest companies. Her boss has been speaking at the conference on climate change and the portents aren't good for next generations.
She said to me, "Rich, climate change will kill more than terrorists", which I thought rather striking.
I ve not been that arsed until now, mainly due to my age but looking at those horrendous floods in Carlisle its something now that is truly serious.
Ive just been having coffee and croissants in t shirt in the garden looking at roses still with buds on and its seems truly weird with us almost at Christmas.
Summat aint right and it may be too late.
Cue Carol King and CSN |  |

Ive been looking at the long term weather forecast ,as one does, for north America and its plain weird.
Have to admit tis is serious stuff now.
We live in a mild part of the UK but today, its quite ridiculous. | |

I've just been in the garden perch in a t shirt and i would say its a lovely spring morning , then noticed purple flowers have bloomed over the last couple of days .
There's just been a huge convention on climate change but hasn't had much tv because of the Syria war . | |

Climate change is an issue, but the burning of fossil fuels is such a minor factor to climate change its criminal the amount time blaming it on this reason. |  | | |

Climate has always changed. We've always known this but it's only the last few decades it's been politicised and people realise they can make a fair whack of money out of it. |  |

That's correct, co2 is just 400 parts per million in the atmosphere and man contributes but 10 parts per million of that. The numbers are small as to make no difference whatsoever. | | | |

the only way to solve the issue is to fit catalytic converters to all them pesky volcanoes... | | | |

No, not generally. For me, there are so many factors in play, deforestation, volcanic eruptions, natural cycles of the sun etc, but the people who drive the agenda focus almost solely on the burning of fossil fuels. This gives them perfect justification to tax the living f uck out of anyone who's evil enough to have to drive to work. It makes a lot of people rich. | |

Why not blame climate change for the recent fortunes of Swansea City and Leicester City? Might as well.
Believable sources [like NASA] have reported that there has been no rise in the planet's temperature in the past 15 years, and that, contrary to Crazy Al Gore's prediction that there would be no ice in the Arctic Ocean by 2012, there is more there now than at any recent period.
But Crazy Al has made himself a multi-millionaire on that shit.
The whole notion has been disproven, but the politicians [world] are looking for the cash. There's no money in it for anyone if there is no climate change that can blamed on the wealthy and wealthy countries.
"Follow the money!" |  |

Rich, I agree that something isn't right.
It's very mild in South Wales, even when it was blowing a hurricane and pi55ing down. The heating didn't come on this morning as the thermostat hadn't clicked on and yet the rush of getting kids out of bed and ready for school still caused a minor sweat on my brow. My front lawn is still growing at a rate of knots and I would have cut it yesterday had it not been wet. I anticipate the daffs popping up soon. |  |

We could do a lot more regarding keeping the planet clean, recycling plastic properly would be a start, but as far as climate change is concerned I believe there a little we can do to prevent it.
Mother Nature will decide our fate, as it has done for millions of years. |  | | |

They are ranked number 2 and number 10 in the world economy stats, we are ranked number 6 .
So it's not like they ain't got a pot to p!ss in more like taking the required short cuts to get to the top, if they can function on a global level they can also take the same measures as other countries(as well as buying the carbon offsets off the small poor countries like we do in the western world, thus making the whole thing a load of bollocks anyway)
The whole climate change thing is licence to print money and pass the cost onto the poor, the greatest of stealth taxes.
The man in the street can't do much about it i'm sorry to say. | | | |

Folks,climate change is a crock of shite.
The biggest driver of our climate is and always has been...the sun.
It's why we've constantly had hot and cold periods over billions of years.
It is a great way for governments to generate stealth tax. |  |
