You see them pop up the moment any pollution reg put in place to prevent kids living with asthma means they have to get their lardy self's out of their cars for a few meters

Yeah, or 'I used to swim in sewage 24/7 as a child' / 'I'll drink glyphosate' / give their kid a burger. The corruption runs deep.
Might be of interest to some, obviously not those that know more than the worlds leading climatologists and also watch top gear.

Cheers for posting mate, but i'm rather sceptical that we can manufacture our way out of this or have them magic carbon targeting death lasers fitted to our car roof like they're suggesting.Might be of interest to some, obviously not those that know more than the worlds leading climatologists and also watch top gear.

The immediate answer is to stop burning fossil fuels as soon as possible. Everything else will require fluid thinking and will promote winners and losers in each outcome. Innovation will have to be a considerable of any solution though.

If it's not going to be 'Venus tomorrow', we need to systemically change. I nearly choked on my Werther's when I discovered that the article implied 'finance' is going to help save us. Finance drives the exponential exploitation of the planet by its very nature.
We've had half a century to start solving this conundrum, and we have paper straws and someone who remembers a petroleum sponsored research paper from the seventies suggesting things might actually get cooler to show for it. The issue is immense, I've seen it stated (iirc) that on a calorific analysis, the oil we use today equates to an extra 60 billion 8hr/day workers. That's hard to turn off. Solar and wind are just assisting the growth in demand.
Anyway, i've got to get out there to ted my hay.
Well, you have picked out a tiny segment of the article, I was more interested in the consequential data of the IPCC report.
If you are expecting some kind of ghandi style go back to the fields solution to appear, you may aswell accept defeat. Financial disparity and out if control capitalism are undoubtedly huge drivers for preventing action on climate change, management of it requires nuance.

Haha, I'm not suggesting anything, other than technological hopium won't extricate us from this mess mate, it only stalls concrete action as we continue to dig a deeper hole and become even more reliant.
Anyway, regarding your Ghandi idea - "According to Pollan, for every calorie of food that is produced in the United States, 10 calories of fossil fuel energy are put into the system to grow that food. By no means a break-even system."
My bold, obviously processing and distribution add to this in a global economy.

This will probably won’t affect your food chain since you live far away in Europe.
Recently, Japan start releasing the 1.3 million cubic metres of contaminated nuclear wastewater from the destroyed Fukushima nuclear power plant into the Pacific Ocean. While their government claims that the nuclear wastewater is safe to drink, yet they decide to pour the nuclear wastewater into the ocean.
Just wondering why those hypocritical environmental groups decide to turn a blind eye on this issue? Carbon-14, Cesium-137, Iodine-129 and Strontium-90, surely all these radioactive waste cannot be purified.
In accordance with a report released by the plant's operator Tokyo Electric Power Company on 5 June, the level of Cesium-137 that can be found in fishes nearby the coastline, is 180 times that of the standard maximum stipulated in Japan's food safety law.

Please explain. You're sort of implying that environmental groups are shiftily pouring Uranium down the drains.
The oceans get loads of attention, i'm sure some groups must have highlighted the issue. Maybe ask on a forum in a country where it's actually legal to carry a placard saying 'Please think twice about poisoning everyone', where it's actually still safe to eat fish from the coast and who's government don't cover up a mass poisoning of sea life.
