The point made was India and China are doing very little wr net zero. Which we know is not true. No one has suggested we ignore them.

We currently produce 0.8% of the worlds CO emissions, where is the sense in hamstringing our economy to reduce this already very low number? Our competitors are certainly not going to.

Interesting that the average rainfall in the last 24 years hasn’t changed much
Been some big droughts as well

Is it, how so. An average number has little meaning without context. What's the distribution throughout the year for example how has that changed over the decades? Why 24 years?Interesting that the average rainfall in the last 24 years hasn’t changed much

The lack of understanding is staggering considering the amount of reading into things you do.
Floods have increased due to the change in rain patterns. Spain saw the worst floods due to a YEARS worth of rain fell in 8 hours. Process that for a minute. A years worth of rain in 8 hours. A year. Not a days worth. Not A month's worth.. a years worth.
Rainfall may not have once and droughts happen .. but instead of having stable rainfall that we can deal with and is important to how we live we have extremes. Extreme downpours and extreme shortages.
Sure it "levels out" over the year but doesn't make it less dangerous.

All of which have happened before - floods , droughts, it’s not new
It will happen again regardless of any net zero targets
Go back through history and find a time when we didn’t have changeable weather conditions - even before emissions pouring into the sky

Nothing happened on the levels we are seeing now. Not as frequent.
This is becoming a yearly occurrence.
It used to be once in a decade now it's every year
Denying that is pretty darn stupid

I'm amazed that in this day and age there are still climate change deniers. Staggering tbh.

You appear to be confusing weather and climate. They're not the same things you know.

It's worrying that people would rather lose 25% of livable space In the world than 25% of their wealth.
Ironically those most vocal blame all their issues on immigration, just wait to see how many climate refugees will be made by ignoring climate change.

Is this reply an attempt to answer the question I asked Pete?
We currently produce 0.8% of the worlds CO emissions, where is the sense in hamstringing our economy to reduce this already very low number? Our competitors are certainly not going to
If it is I’m afraid I do not understand what you mean.

Why does it have to cripple the economy? Sorry thats just daily mail hyperbole, there is plenty of money to be made out of investing toward lessening the impact of climate change.
Sadly many like to stick with what they know , with EVs being a Great example, with many preferring to believe rubbish about them as opposed to seriously look at getting one.

The world economic forum reckons otherwise…
Or are they “far right” too?
You are right, there needs to be change, EVs and making our society greener must be our aim but it has to be done thoughtfully and at a slower pace, as per the news article earlier, rash decisions even for the right reasons are not good for our economy.
Well done btw for getting the phrase “Daily Mail hyperbole” into your post… It’s great fun playing “Liberal left bingo”
