"Green" policies are destroying this country

Ok so for an extreme problem I give an extreme solution. If on the 1st January 2024 in this country we replaced every single ICE with an electric vehicle, changed the heating of every house in the country to heat pumps, killed off our entire cattle herd, went 100% wind for power generation that you could hand on your heart say the floods would reduce in 20 years time?

If you can't then there's no point in proceeding with the current 50 times slower path to nowhere approach.

It's what you and others continuously infer isn't it? Be good little green disciples and ER will reward us with sunshine, lollipop turbines and rainbows. Or are all your proposals just a hiding to nothing because we're too small to matter on a global scale?

Nono. You are seeing this all wrong. We ALL have to do our bit in the global battle against climate change and take responsibility for our actions. It is the biggest clearest present danger.

Now is not the time for pesky calculations, cost- benefit analysis, objections, barriers, measurements etc. It is time for ACTION. Science is settled. No more debate.

It is time for targets and compliance mechanisms. For overreaching, non democratic organisations to do their duty and save the people (and the planet) of themselves. To shut down dissent and ignore the Bjorn Lomborgs and scientists who dare to object who are by default the far right and oil lobby even if they're not. To give power/money to strongarm studies that support the alarmist narrative to make the 'consensus' even stronger and to halt and refuse funding for any opposite view.

It really is pretty simple. The Earth is boiling, you know!🙄

JUST.. STOP.. OIL. And everything will be fine..

That's amazing - but weren't about 100k years of that part of an ice age? Why start your data arbitrarily at the start of the last ice age? Why not go back an extra say 5-10k years - could it be because the global temperature was hotter than it is today during the last interglacial period and that doesn't suit your arguments?

You wouldn't do that to us, would you? You wouldn't cherry pick your data to forward a narrative?

So you are saying that 125k years was slow cooling trend? 🤣

Still way to go. We are nowhere near to what temperature used to be. Sorry, but end of the world is not going to happen any time soon. Not even in couple lifetimes, even if temperature increase few degrees.

For all climate alarmists who predict that end is near... Their "facts" are usually based on computer model predictions designed the way to conform narrative and loads of guessing.

From New scientist:

"First of all, it is worth bearing in mind that any data on global temperatures before about 150 years ago is an estimate, a reconstruction based on second-hand evidence such as ice cores and isotopic ratios. The evidence becomes sparser the further back we look, and its interpretation often involves a set of assumptions. In other words, a fair amount of guesswork.

It is certainly true that Earth has experienced some extremes that were warmer than today, as well as much colder periods. In some cases the main factors that caused these past warm periods – and the ebb and flow of ice ages over recent millennia – are well understood, though not in all. Many of the details remain unknown."

Yeah but, but, but, CO2, humans and cow shyet !!!

Next year is likely to be cooler too

We are in an interglacial period, technically still in an ice age, although it is likely humans will do enough to push the earth out of that equilibrium and prevent the next (colloquial) ice age from happening.

Nobody 'arbitrarily' picked 125k years as if to cherry pick data. That is absolutely not how cherry picking works.

The data shows that no time in the past 125k years was hotter globally than this year i2023)

Says who?

The El Nino is likely to continue and we're likely to see even warmer conditions next year than we saw this year

my house is 90m asl . I'm allright Jack. might need a bigger boat.
