    In general, the poorer people are, the smaller their ecological footprint.


    Emma Thompson's flight to London to join a climate action protest probably contributed more to global warming than a whole village of San bushmen in the Kalahari could possibly do, even in several generations of their lives.

    Literally a champagne socialist. She dined on beef and washed it down with champagne in her £18,500 booth on the BA flight over from LA. Anyone who accepts lectures from such blatant hypocrites is soft in the head.

    So if the Super Wealthy shared their Super Wealth around they could do more for Climate Change than all the hot air they are going to Puff Out !

    Is that really true how do you test that supposition? How do you account for the increased number of trees growing in Europe compared with the previous century? Could you make the case that poorer people live shorter lives, therefore poor people per capita have a reduced impact on the environment in terms of consumption of resources, but is that true in aggregate for say China and India?

    Net Zero means we are paying for the destruction of our economy and society in pursuit of an unachievable and pointless policy.

    Netflix, Attenborough and cliff-falling walruses: the making of a false climate icon.

    Film crew all set up on the beach below. Nothing happening. Time is money.


    I wouldn't be at all surprised if somebody from the crew had climbed up that hill and deliberately spooked the walruses.

    Attenborough will be dead and gone soon enough . His family will have huge wealth accumulated from his TV /other stuff .

    David will be safely unavailable for comment if a lot of what he has said and the time frame turns out to bollyocks .
