The contradictions are beyond belief. Failure of COP26 would be catastrophic but the Tories will continue to open new coal mines and North Sea oil. Flying around the world is OK too – and of course quarantine rules do not apply to him.
WATER
Bottled water is at least 500 times more expensive than the water in which you brush your teeth and shower! Or is in the coffee or tea at the cafe. In the USA 17m. barrels of oil are needed to produce the bottles for demand.
WELL DONE DAILY MAIL
I never thought I would say this without extreme torture! But their expose of the climate minister Amok Sharma flying all over the world to over 30 countries is bad enough, but then visiting 6 red countries and not going into quarantine is inexcusable on both counts. Could someone please explain – fast – that this is not a joke fest for Bozo Buckethead and crew.
CLIMATE CHANGE
CLIMATE CHANGE
Johnson’s climate spokesperson prefers to drive a diesel car. She stated that she had to do trips of 200-250 miles and seems unaware that a 80% charger can take 20 minutes. However it does highlight the need to roll out the necessary infrastructure for electric cars to really takeover the market.
WEATHER
CLIMATE EMERGENCY
I have been thinking about the governments incompetence too much! The climate emergency, just like the first lockdown, requires all of us to do our bit at all levels of society. Governments can have a big input, but we should not, must not, rely on them to solve the issue. It is down to us as individuals first and foremost to do our bit. Then all companies and organisations need to do their bit. Local government has a major chance to prove its worth. The problem is bigger than Covid. It needs community action.
CLIMATE CHANGE
I am hoping I do not regret writing this! Climate change is so important that governments must ignore atrocities; that may be happening in Myanmir, Western China; the financial wellbeing of MLC’s in a capitalist society; even personal freedoms; in the effort to halt the catastrophic tumble into climate chaos.
100 DAYS TO GO
COP26 will be held in Glasgow. It is time to stop the prevarication, the promises, the lies, basically the bollocks, and do something. I will promise not to write another damning comment on Coco if he delivers this time! No slogans, fist pumping, arm waving, just guaranteed policies to do what needs to be done. No comments about us doing better than, more committed than, what is needed is leadership bozo! Electricity generation and infra structure need to be forefront, energy efficiency in all areas close behind. `No comments like ‘by 2030 all houses in the uk will need to be energy efficient”, replace the 2030 with from tomorrow – that is the sort of kick up the backside builders need. Aviation fuel tax made prohibitive for private planes – if mega rich people leave the ok we can always send them a Xmas card!
ANOTHER HOT DAY
Although there was a nice breeze whilst watering the garden at 5 am. At least it is not as hot as Western North America, or as wet as central Western Europe has been or South Island, New Zealand. 320.000 residents of Yakutsk have been warned to stay indoors to avoid the thick toxic smoke from forest fires in this Siberian region. Zhengzhou is trying to recover from a record flood which inundated the subway system drowning at least 12. The rainfall broke hourly and daily 70 year data. Hurricane season in North Atlantic predicted to be less than last year (The weather channel), conflicting with earlier predictions).
Lots of cumulus humbles this afternoon. Met office predicts no rain until Saturday though.
Time for the nasty party to start a campaign against the loss of freedom which will be perceived with higher taxes on fossil fuels. Arguments about the economy and fear mongering will develop.
