You made a point you can't explain because you don't understand it. That's okay.

The Sun got warmer in the past 100 years. Wow! Just wow!

And you understand the complexity of a global climate system and all influences on it over eons. No wonder you are a professor!

Sure i’ll spell it out for you. Hotter sun means warmer earth. Understand now?

I would have thought that you being concerened about climate change that it might just interest you and the fact it could have a bearing on our climate in the last 100 years?

Aliens are about as believable as some of the arguments here countering climate change being offered here.

Which arguments would they be?

Well, the guy who compared taking an ice cube from his freezer and watching it melt with the melting of an iceberg in New Zealand as an argument why global warming is not an issue for one.

I was in The Range store in the north the other day.

They have a Xmas section, and it was jammed full of manic shoppers. The section itself was stocked to bursting point with cheap plastic tat all shipped in from China I'd guess. It had everything you could ever want to decorate your house or garden with for the festive period.

And the shoppers were buying it hand over fist. And this was one store among tens of thousands of similar ones in Ireland and the UK. All with the same manic buying year after year.

As I was standing watching them all, I couldn't help but think how little the vast majority of people care for what the likes of Greta and her supporters are saying. Simply no interest. They ain't changing their ways for anyone. You'll never be able to stop the rampant wave of consumerism in the West, unless it is taxed in some draconian way.

Draconian taxation of Christmas decorations. The new front in the war to save the planet.

So you’ve nothing else to do all day but watch people shop? Smells like begrudgery to be honest.

Draconian measure may be required to tackle the plastic problem yes. Who needs all this tat anyway?

Who gets to decide what people need or want? I presume people like you is the answer.

Yes it's all up to me :rolleyes:
Don't worry, all Governments want us to do is consume crap it's not going to change, that's what economies are built on, but if we were serious about treating the planet better we'd be encouraging other ways of life.

That’s a relief.

Aren’t a lot of these plastics now recyclable?

Who knows, the recycling thing seems to be a scam anyway. Has Ireland ever recycled any plastic? They just send it to Asia and god only knows what happens to it there. We need to stop producing this rubbish in the first place, recycling isn't the answer.

You would be surprised how little.

When I was in Thailand with my partner, one of the beaches we went to literally had (mostly plastic) trash washing up onto the beach constantly - and even had a dedicated team of people walking up and down the beach, picking up the washed up plastic/trash.

These are the countries we export to for recycling. There is very little genuine recycling.

It doesn't. Do some research.

Whatever you think. For a start you’d have less plastics washed up on beaches etc. Nothing is fool proof but it helps.
