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.

"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."

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.""

Ms coffey is worried about be able to remain as an MP - like many of them.

 

They're struggling to balance forcing through their obnoxious agendas while theres 2 years to go before they are forced into an election,

and not giving anyone anything which would even more display the pittances they want to offer in 2 years to try to con people into voting for them

- as pitances intended to con people into forgetting what **** these poopulists really are when they believe they are free to do what they want and the electorate cant do anything about it.

[tobyjugg2]

Nope

The main drive of Net zero is requiring companies NOT to abuse the planet for the profit of a few and hopefully prevent it from becoming unlivable for all but a few.

- So if not allowing a few to make vast profits from the destruction of our only home, and making them stop poisoning the very air we breath and the water we drink is marxism in your eyes, then that says more about you @theoldrouge

"The forest carbon offsets approved by the world’s leading provider and used by Disney, Shell, Gucci and other big corporations are largely worthless and could make global heating worse, according to a new investigation.

The research into Verra, the world’s leading carbon standard for the rapidly growing $2bn (£1.6bn) voluntary offsets market, has found that, based on analysis of a significant percentage of the projects, more than 90% of their rainforest offset credits – among the most commonly used by companies – are likely to be “phantom credits” and do not represent genuine carbon reductions."
