Re: Climate Change
We have to hold a few country's around the world to account for this ongoing situation, G.B. Has a very good record on cutting carbon omission's in fact we come out further up the ladder than most. We owe it to our grandkid's to get this under control.

Re: Climate Change
I just wonder who is kidding whom.
Latest from the 'Climate' council,
None of the G20 nations have yet reached, nor likely to, their emissions reduction targets.
Our 'Green' leader tells us just how many jobs the renewable energy will create.
Well it is like this, closing down the coal mines and power stations as has been done has put about 10,000 out of work.
The Turbines and Solar panels are all made overseas and require specialists to assemble them.
Once in place only a handful of maintenance crews are required, so where are all the jobs??
I have no problem with Solar or Wind as a support to supply power, but some form of base load is required for heavy industry and those who require 24/7 services.

Well Des, hate to upset you but the last day of Spring is not until December 20th.
Oz is the only country that uses 1st of month to determine the seasons, all others use the equinox, longest and shortest days.
But you weather is not unlike ours here in Melbourne but no snow.
One day 40 degrees, next down to 16.

If you could go back in time to around 1604, to the spot where Manhattan now sits, you would see a tiny settlement of about 150 people enjoying a pristine coastal wilderness with superb growing soil, ample wildlife and rich timber forests – a genuine paradise on earth. Back then, whales would wander up the clean, fish-rich Hudson River and you could pull lobsters out of the sea half as long as a man. Huge flocks of passenger pigeons blackened the sky."

Re: Climate Change
Announced today here in Oz, the term 'Global warming' will no longer be used. officially now Climate Change.
On the same day December 2nd at the end of Spring massive dumps of snow on the Alps. Very unusual for this time of year.
But a serious question has been asked by one commentator, who and where are the 30,000 scientists who say Climate Change is occurring, can we speak with some, or is it as I suspect he went on to say this is more to do with an attempt at social engineering or dumbing down of society.
