I'm sure Dave appreciates the irony given his accusations of Starmer being a plastic lefty.

I'm sure, but as in every other thread he will just come in, gauge the popular opinion then pretend he has the polar opposite view to try and WUM everyone

I tell you, if Starmer and Labour don't do something about this I'm going to bloody tut. Loudly.

COP was great, eh lids? Looks like even cooking books and green-washing's too much effort nowadays. Who will save us from ourselves now?

I think the sad passing of Saleemal Huq was a serious loss for this years COP, he brought so many people to table through organising smaller nations who are effected more heavily by climate change and really giving them a stringer voice in unity. He also did all this with a really humanity and positivity.

If it wasn't our existence on the line it'll be interesting to see if we bake to extinction or if the AOMC will break down first.

$5 trillion of nature-related economic risks will amplify climate change, says Oxford study​

Shocks to the global economy related to biodiversity loss and ecosystem damage could cost upwards of $5 trillion, according to new research from Oxford University, which emerged alongside recommendations from central banks in respect of assessing nature-related risk.

The researchers found, human-driven pollution, deforestation, land-use change and over-extraction, are fundamentally eroding the natural capital upon which our societies and economies are built – including our water, clean air, fertile soils and pollinators – and act as ‘risk amplifiers’ on the impacts of climate change.

Cop-out 28.

Always been thus mate. We've doubled the annual use of fossil fuels since the first Cop-out AND added a lot of renewable energy to the mix too. Like recycling, a tool to make people think something's being done and keep BAU, remember, the original three R's were Refuse, Reuse, Recycle.
