With voters increasingly fearful about fires, floods and extreme temperatures, can the Tories find a way back towards reality, asks Guardian columnist...

 

[tobyjugg2]

Nope, they will just lie and obfuscate while protecting fossil fuel companies profits at taxpayer expense,

and wait a short while before trying to sneak fracking back hoping no-one will notice until its too late.

 

Both the Torys lack of credibility at COP and actions protecting fossil fuel record excess profits define that.

Yessss Masssster,

our plan to heat the planet to levels you and the giant spiders and scorpions desire, melt all that horrible ice you hate, create lots of shallow sea and marsh areas for your ideal luxury conditions is ahead of all hopes,

and the plan to create conditions where the over-breeding human food herds cull each other and increase radiation levels is progressing well ahead of targets.

many may disagree, but i think the 'reparations' issue should be dropped from COP

 

Attention and money needs to be focused on preventing further damage - which would also hit most of the nations claiming reparations first.

Not JUST human feces our waterways are being filled with

 

"Two common bacteria that can cause infection and illness in humans and animals are E. coli and S. aureus.

Antibiotic-resistant strains of both were found in rivers adjacent to pig and chicken factory farms, as well as in slurry runoff from intensive dairy farms."

"Of all the challenges faced by the world community in those four years, one has grown clearer than any other in both urgency and importance—I refer to the threat to our global environment. I shall take the opportunity of addressing the general assembly to speak on that subject alone. "

 

"as we travel through space, as we pass one dead planet after another, we look back on our earth, a speck of life in an infinite void. It is life itself, incomparably precious, that distinguishes us from the other planets.

It is life itself—human life, the innumerable species of our planet—that we wantonly destroy. It is life itself that we must battle to preserve."

 

"What we are now doing to the world, by degrading the land surfaces, by polluting the waters and by adding greenhouse gases to the air at an unprecedented rate—all this is new in the experience of the earth. It is mankind and his activities which are changing the environment of our planet in damaging and dangerous ways. "

 

" an environmental or climatic change produced by man may take on a self-sustaining or ‘runaway’ quality … and may be irreversible.”

 

" the environmental challenge which confronts the whole world demands an equivalent response from the whole world. Every country will be affected and no one can opt out."

Possibly this is more about the power of nature than climate change but it's impressive. I hope everyone stays safe because people have fallen through lava tubes into 2000F and even volcanologists have died from inhaling gases from volcanoes even when they're not erupting.

The ice at the poles and mountain tops is melting, reducing the weight pressing down there

It is shifting into the Oceans, where the increasing weight is pressing on fault lines

  Is this part of rising sea levels as well?

[tobyjugg2]

Yes.

Seen the very latest from NASA?

 

"NASA's research harnessed satellite altimeter measurements of sea surface height and then correlated them with National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (opens in new tab) (NOAA) tide gauge records dating back over 100 years. As a result, NASA can confidently state that its satellite readings are not anomalous, and are fully supported by findings on the ground."

 

and what are these figures? and around the middle of the century 2050 - NOT the end of the century

 

"The findings support the "higher-range" scenarios laid out in February in the multi-agency Sea Level Rise Technical Report (opens in new tab). The report suggested that "significant sea level rise" is liable to hit U.S. coasts within the next 30 years, predicting

10 to 14 inches (25 to 35 cm) of rise on average for the East Coast;

14 to 18 inches (35 to 45 cm) for the Gulf Coast; and

4 to 8 inches (10 to 20 cm) for the West Coast.""
