You aren't allowed to debate This.
Its happening, and that's that.
Now just do what you're told, pay your carbon taxes and shut up.

The agenda is to wake people up to the reality. With money making being the primary concern in life for the vast majority of the population on this planet its going to be touch and go to whether we can actually get all the competing interests to align enough to do something about it. IMO We really wont tackle this issue until there is one major cataclysmic event killing millions.

Any mention in the show about RTE's generous use of taxis on expenses and the carbon generated by such single-passenger journeys?
From the RTE Secret Producer: 8:20 PM - 17 Sep 2017 People are asking me good things to FOI - start with looking at taxis - especially ones booked 8AM to 11AM in the morning going to RTÉ and 5PM to 10PM in the evening going from RTÉ. They are mainly staff using them and claiming them back even though it is private travel. |

Secondly, he provided the September Ice data on two charts - one for the last 40 years and one for the last decade. He gave a total of 8 referenced charts - and you choose to sneer the post because you don't like one of them. Sorry - there is nothing ironic in that. Last edited by Neddyusa; 14-11-2019 at 10:28. |

Charles Manson springs to mind, and it is more than a little interesting how his 'followers' were all from particularly comfortable backgrounds also. |

I’m certain man made pollution is having some sort of effect (which we should be amending) but I always have a chuckle when I read headlines like yesterday “Venice experiencing highest tide in 50 years”
So what was the reason 50 years ago? 🙂 |

You could have a point.
"The fact that our planet is getting warmer even though aerosols are cooling it down at higher rates than previously thought brings us to a Catch-22 situation: Global efforts to improve air quality by developing cleaner fuels and burning less coal could end up harming our planet by reducing the number of aerosols in the atmosphere, and by doing so, diminishing aerosols' cooling ability to offset global warming." https://www.sciencedaily.com/release...0122104611.htm I also recall reading a few years back that the mass reduction of industrial scale coal burning in eastern Europe, Germany & the UK etc over the last 20-30 years coincided with a sharp warming in the Arctic. Whether there is some truth to that or not, I guess it doesn't really matter in the end. |

It's a fairly simple concept - global temperatures are rising (I don't think anyone is disputing this?), increased temperatures mean ice melts, increased melting ice means higher sea levels and also increased global heating (due to less heat being reflected by the white snow/ice) It could be that climate change is a massive conspiracy by the vast majority of the scientists in the world but it seems unlikely to me |

Not sure how accurate http://flood.firetree.net/ is but shows 1m increments of sea rise levels and flooding.
Agreed we all know sea levels are rising, more storms, more rain but I believe it's how it is being reported is the main problem. Lot of the media is hyping it up and also when that and the drama is being pushed at you day in and day out you start ignoring it, call it climate change fatigue. The TV3 program a few months back with the professor from Maynooth was about the best one so far it was measured and he had a lot of valid points about climate change and especially about the EU farming policy. Good example was farming creates C02, EU pushing farmers to have more cattle which then produces more C02, which means more bad weather. There is only so much fodder that can be grown for cattle and again more cattle, more fodder needed, more bad weather so less fodder. We are getting to the point that there is not enough land to produce the fodder to feed all the cattle. For me that type of info is far more beneficial than showing a cgi of dublin streets with a meter of water. |
