Daily Climate Show: UK 'unprepared' for climate crisis

Independent climate advisers for the government have warned that the UK is unprepared for the approaching climate crisis.

The government has presided over a "lost decade" the group says, and risks exposing the UK to a host of climate threats because of "lacklustre planning and preparation".

Just another 5 years everyone and then we're definitely effed! Trust the science and give government your liberty!!!

There is no crisis. Or they would discuss the science… they refuse to 🤷🏽‍♂️

don't worry we can just spray the weather with aluminium oxide.

That woman needs to go back to elementary school - We live in a AAA plus home with all the bells and whistles and we ended up living in one small space dressed in outdoor layered clothing and could not turn on our brilliant underfloor heating system or wash our clothing and our selves in a healthy style. - Utter rubbish when we have the wealth of energy beneath our feet that has given us a prosperous and healthy lifestyle that is being snatched away from us - our forefathers grafted in the pits and industry that has given us a huge leap in technology today and because they now think we are dispensable and can rely on AI to go forward leaving us to rot.

That’s odd. Some of my posts are gone.

what rainforest shall we rip down next?

[E_Rex_Sean]

[Andrew]

I heard all this nonsense for decades now. When will this bs end?

[KingScotto.]

Give it a rest already there's no such thing

[muckraker]

Well I’m ready for summer to begin a few months earlier so bring it on already. Summers in London have been really fantastic the last few years so keep it up petrol cars and cow farts!

Some questions for the academics.

How do we transition to renewables?
How will it be achieved?
In what year will it be achieved?

What is the requirement?
How many wind turbines?
How many solar panels?
How many hydro dams?
How many whatever?
Where will it all be?
When will it be ready?

Keep in mind that this must be done worldwide. Also keep in mind that overall energy consumption in 2050 will be 50% more than it was in 2020.

What happens when there’s no wind?
What happens when it’s too windy?
What happens when there’s no sun?

If batteries are the solution-
What capacity is needed ?
How many are needed?
Where will they be?
When will they be installed?

If pumped hydro is the solution-
What capacity is needed ?
How many are needed?
Where will they be?
When will they be installed?

Also to be kept in mind -
Renewables currently provide 10% of energy. (It’s been that way for years.)
Hydro is 7%.
Solar is 1%.
Wind is 1%.
Others is 1%.
Nuclear is 5%.
Fossil fuels is 85%.

Cannot believe we have a generation honestly thinking we can fight the weather! 😂

Climate change saved 555, 103 lives in England and Wales between 2001 and 2020 (ONS, 2022). Go Climate Change!

[Bungle-UK]

Still waiting for any of these doom and gloom predictions to come true.

[berserkirclaws]

😱😭 🏃‍♂️ We're doomed!!!!
😲 😁 My cookies are baked 😋 ... What we was talking about?🤔

[YUDNSAY]

Don't need to prepare, because despite the efforts of Skyganda, there is no crisis.

[maseefmandic]

No such thing as a climate crisis, do your research

[stuartwood]

More people die of the cold winter months than a slightly warmer summer - so a big of extra warmth wouldn’t go a mis

Woohoo! The Daily -Clown- Climate Show. My favourite.

A quick question. What climate crisis?
