Parksy I could join you now over a pint and rant about these forked tongue goodie two shoes. Makes me 🤮🤮🤮🤮. Just wait until the forthcoming climate meeting🤬🤬
For some strange reason the established news media appear to be colluding with vested interests to continually berate us over 'climate change' and 'the environment' which in reality are entirely separate issues.
Climate change has taken place on this planet since the dawn of time.
OK, so we all want to breathe clean fresh air, so steps taken to reduce air pollution are no bad thing if done in a measured way.
As someone who grew up in the industrial West Midlands in the 1950s, the area where I still live is becoming a nicer place to be thanks to post industrial changes to businesses here.
The sparrows used to cough when I was a kid and everything was grimy and noisy.
I agree that environmental pollution needs to be addressed in a more radical way, we can't go on dumping micro plastics into the seas and oceans, and the attitude of these festival goers beggars belief when we see pictures of the detritus left behind at these events.
Nothing that we do can change weather systems though, and the weather seems to have been weaponised by the aforementioned vested interests to force us to pay more for less.
We now have the means to observe and measure every facet of the weather worldwide, so if villages on low lying volcanic outcrops in the Pacific are flooded we are told about it and blamed for it.
In the UK, new housing developments have been built on flood plains, ancient brooks and streams have been diverted or filled in and there has been a dramatic reduction in dredging operations, but instead of identifying the real issues, the resultant inevitable flooding is attributed to 'climate change' when it rains.
Population growth is more of a global threat than climate change, but the vested interests haven't yet found a way to make money from it.
That's my rant for the week done!
I'm off to take my blood pressure pills 😂
