You really are becoming a very angry and agitated bunch. My wife moans and groans about me all the time but even she’d struggle to find as many faults with me as you lot do. You’ve all just defaulted to the usual personal attacks.
NI, I’m interested in your comment that: “Millions have died and hundreds of millions have been forced into poverty already because of climate change.”
Where is the evidence that this ‘climate change’ to which you refer is being caused by man-made emissions? Even climate scientists themselves accept there’s no evidence of any direct link. Even those organisations known for having strong views won’t go further than saying events such as the recent heatwaves are “more likely to happen”, which is media-speak for “we don’t actually know”.
The problem is that there’s still NO hard evidence of man-made emissions being responsible for any weather-related events, from the tragic floods in Pakistan to the recent heatwaves and what the UN comes out with is NOT supported by the IPCC scientific reports. You’ll also see plenty of references to “since records began”, which is more media-speak for “OK, the data doesn’t actually go back very far so let’s make it seem as long ago as we possibly can”. In truth, what we’re actually seeing falls well within the bounds of natural variability.
Also worth saying that while there’s zero hard evidence that millions are dying as a result of man-made climate change there’s plenty of very hard evidence that millions — probably billions — are being kept in poverty as a result of having no access to cheap energy.
