The Daily Climate Show: World told to 'act now' over new climate report

Today on The Daily Climate Show, Sky's science and technology editor Tom Clarke, looks at the United Nations chief's call for polluting developed countries like the UK to "fast forward" net zero targets by a decade to 2040.

This film has been up for just over two hours and has under 700 views. Despite the hysteria sweeping the western world it doesn’t seem to be the burning issue we’re told it is.

Surely Obama would sell me his beachfront compound for £100, as it's going to be under water very soon...

Why have billionaires built house on the coast

Just laugh at this utter bull crap! They definitely think we’re thick as mince 🤣🤣

Coal is not 0%, so first of they should start by telling the truth...

I like the climbing temperature since 1880 part of the chart. Anyone would think the earth has been exiting an ice age or something 😂. We are lucky we are not a ball of ice enjoy the tropic weather while it lasts.

I *do* wish people would stop talking about ‘climate change’. The climate has ‘changed’ for about 4 billion years when this 3rd rock from the sun emerged. The *real* issue is ‘global warming’, and how much humankind is complicit in this warming. That the planet is warming, and warming rather alarmingly rapidly, is indubitable. What’s not quite as indubitable is how much human activity is contributing to this. On balance, having looked at the evidence, I happen to think that humans *are* significantly contributing to global warming through fossil fuel burning. Given this, it makes utter sense to phase out fossil fuels. With this caveat: we must do it sensibly. They will be needed for some time to come as the transition to renewables is made. Who knows? Given that we are currently in an inter-glacial period, 500 years down the line when we have stopped using fossil fuels, the planet might start a rapid cooling trend leading to that ever-promised next Ice Age, and there might be a desperate clamour to start burning fossil fuels as quickly as possible!

Read the excellent book by David Craig
" There is No Climate Crisis"

Now we are into a planetary cooling phase, it started 8 years ago, the weather will be volatile. The Australians are experiencing record cold in May, and the Arctic has recorded it's coldest 6 months ever seen. There will be plumes of very hot weather, and extremes of very cold weather. Rainfall and hail will be heavy and cause flooding. This will get worse as the planet cools, until we are in constant deep cold. This will last for about 40 years. NASA are well aware of this scenario.

No offence but I really hope it is only the old folk that pay any attention to this.
