World's hottest day since records began

You’d be wrong then! 🙂

It’s juice. Just juice.

i was responding to him giving out about land being left to the "birds, bees and butterflies" in ireland, as if trying to help nature on this island is some woke nonsense. the environment is in a bad way in ireland and nature needs our help.

well it's colloquially known as oat milk, everyone calls it that, much to the ire of farmers

Well, maybe don't go outside today.

Nope not everyone.

Id say its a minority tbh- anyway no point crying over spoilt juice 😂

I've never heard anyone ask for an oat juice latte. They all say milk, deal with it!

A very philosophical analysis - but thats not the scenario we are in.

We as humans have demonstrably caused the recent climate shift and it will kill many people as a consequence (it is already killing 10x of thousands a year). We have opportunities to avoid the worst outcomes if we act appropriately now. To do anything else is to actively choose as a species to commit suicide. I personally think thats immoral.

Nothing, I don't demand a bigger share.

I've no idea, do you?

Fantasy post

You went there

Is this to do with fresh water upsetting the salination of the sea from the ice caps melting and thus turning off the movement of warm waters to northern hemisphere countries?

I mentioned this before and I think it may have been @Pa ElGrande (apologies if it wasn’t Pa!) or another poster who said that can’t happen and gave a pretty good explanation as to why.

Anyway imo climate change is happening wether you believe it’s man made, natural, or a mixture it doesn’t really matter- as it’s happening.

What I’d love to know and I keep asking but the green acolytes can’t tell me- is what should Irish citizens and the government be doing to PREPARE for the effects of climate change as opposed to trying to stop/ reduce its effects (how arrogant are they thinking we can stop a planets response/climate shifts 😂)

So again I ask what should we be doing?- will Ireland get:

colder?

warmer?

wetter?

dryer?

mixture of these depending on seasons?

Should citizens ensure they have clothing and stores of fuel in winter to combat temps of -20C?

Should citizens ensure they have clothing and stores of water and food in summer to combat temps +50C?

A bit of advice/ forecasting would be helpful!

Exxon disputed climate findings for years. Its scientists knew better.

Projections created internally by ExxonMobil starting in the late 1970s on the impact of fossil fuels on climate change were very accurate, even surpassing those of some academic and governmental scientists, according to an analysis published Thursday in Science by a team of Harvard-led researchers. Despite those forecasts, team leaders say, the multinational energy giant continued to sow doubt about the gathering crisis.

In “Assessing ExxonMobil’s Global Warming Projections,” researchers from Harvard and the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research show for the first time the accuracy of previously unreported forecasts created by company scientists from 1977 through 2003. The Harvard team discovered that Exxon researchers created a series of remarkably reliable models and analyses projecting global warming from carbon dioxide emissions over the coming decades. Specifically, Exxon projected that fossil fuel emissions would lead to 0.20 degrees Celsius of global warming per decade, with a margin of error of 0.04 degrees — a trend that has been proven largely accurate.

“This paper is the first ever systematic assessment of a fossil fuel company’s climate projections, the first time we’ve been able to put a number on what they knew,” said Geoffrey Supran, lead author and former research fellow in the History of Science at Harvard. “What we found is that between 1977 and 2003, excellent scientists within Exxon modeled and predicted global warming with, frankly, shocking skill and accuracy only for the company to then spend the next couple of decades denying that very climate science.” Full story below

Those executives who ordered the science to be buried are sociopaths who have the needless premature deaths of millions of people on their heads

Right but the only way to stop this is to stop consumerism- ya know that right?

That ain’t gonna happen.

100% closed loop recycling. Nothing should be made without it been 100% recyclable and make it the law. It would certainly help along the path to sustainability
