Consumption of paper is still rising despite a drive for many industries to go paperless and then there's this, https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-62265992 |  |

Yeah close enough to what the experts say, which is 3.2%. I'm not really a global warming student, I think climate change is mostly natural and the climate change lobby are misled. Mind you, I also believe a lot of the problems we have are caused by destruction of habitat, by our intrusion into natural worlds that is causing extinctions. I think that is causing some climate change because we are knocking the planet out of balance. Balance is important. |  |

Acid rain was going to kill all the forests, then it was the hole in the ozone layer, now it's global warming, wonder what's next. |  |

Well we've done covid and monkey pox is here too, who knows. The only constant in all this is mankind destroying habitat. Acid rain hasn't killed the forsts but humans are diggingthem up very quickly. The hole in the ozone layer shrunk but we are slowly killing the oceans by polluting the water and we are destroying fish stocks and driving sharks and whales to extinction. Not to forget that all these green taxes are putting people into poverty but where is the money going? |  |

My neighbour ( a real conspiracy theorist) currently reckons that the drive to persuade us all to get electric vehicles is a ploy to go back to the times when only the rich had cars. Apparently, once we all have electric cars etc, the supply of electricity is going to be so throttled that we will have power cuts and lack of electricity ( imagine the old " Coronation Street" half time kettle surge multiplied by millions . So the ordinary person will be forced to use public transport ( and as we all know our public transport infrastructure is brilliant). Some logic about demand outstripping supply, but can't see it myself I think he spends too much time on the dark web |  |

Balance is everything. That 3% is 3% too much, when other green house gases, deforestation and other damaging behaviours are factored we are completely destroying the place. The bottom line is there's already too many of us on the planet if population carries on growing and we don't reduce our impact we're going to wipe ourselves out. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Forget electric cars. They will be a thoing of the past . Hydrogen is the way forward. |  |

Climate change has happened many times over billions of years. Often accompanied by mass extinctions too. |  | |  |

The stats I have seen say that population growth has slowed and is, in fact, becoming population shrinkage in many countries. They say it's something to do with people moving to live in cities, apparently! Still though, we are doing far too much damage to our planet. I think the temperature will carry on rising regardless but how far I don't know, I also think nature will adapt. The big problem for me is that humanity has been far too busy trying to force nature to adapt to us, we need to spend more time fitting in with nature because humanity is far more destructive and dangerous than any other creature on the planet. |  |

Population growth needs to stop across the globe, and we need to live sustainably which is exactly what you say in the rest of your post. I fully believe that the UK is punching way above its weight in trying to tackle climate change, its the equivalent of a fart in a hurricane when compared to what the likes of China, the US, India and Russia are doing though. |  | |  |

Most life on the planet, usually just leaving enough biodiversity to start evolution again. The last major one was 65 million years ago. We're potentially looking at a scenario like that again. You have to understand geological time to grasp the situation really, we're probably talking on a scale of thousands of years for this "event" to happen. But the climate is changing at a greater rate than ever before, you're talking 10's of thousands of years versus decades. Biodiversity won't be able to adapt in time |  | |  |

The Ordovician Mass Extinction, Devonian Mass Extinction, Permian Mass Extinction, Triassic-Jurassic Mass Extinction, and Cretaceous-Tertiary (or the K-T) Mass Extinction.

You really need to do better. 😂 Each of those examples in that article says the ‘suspected cause’ 😂 in other words they don’t know. Also, the article even changes the definition of the word extinct to suit the agenda they are pushing. And last but not least, the so called ‘6th extinction’ of humans, is all you need to know, that the article is just a climate change bullshite scare story. |  |

I never understand Climate Change deniers, its a zero win game. If you're correct and a hoax all set up to tax people more, then they were going to tax you anyway, this was just a new name for it. If that tax was then spent on reducing the crap pumped into the air then surely it was a good thing anyway. If you're wrong and it's real then you've helped bring forth the destruction of the planet. Either way, where is the upside?? What is the point in claiming everything is a huge conspiracy? |  | |  |

Who’s denying climate change ? It’s a natural phenomenon that’s happened many times before. And if you think it’s just about taxing people then you are completely wrong |  |
