the Global Warming fiasco -- or how to tax the **** out of us

[V8Druid]

Return to the classics... I'm done being nice to people I drove through lifton in Devon yesterday and was reminded that Trax and The Giant did offer a free nose job on a plant forum a while back... I'll never be that bad.

WTF was 'The Giant' .. never came across him ??

Ah - got you - Will's dad - Mr Rhodes ...
lovely fella, haven't heard from him in a while - used to ring me quite regularly ...
haven't seen Dehane since the last time I was at Welland ...
Understand the 'giant' reference now - he's a BIG bloke - 6' 8" IIRC

Lost his brother Irwin to a leccy cable in a trench, some time ago now
very sad

OK i saw a bit on this and thought it was joke..
so did some reading.

its beyond believable now.

Guardian link so i cant be accused of being a right wing nut job..

UK scientists to launch outdoor geoengineering experiments

Blocking sunlight could temporarily slow the climate crisis but the technologies remain highly controversial

The pic of a plane making a chemtrail looks easy, except it's flying in the stratospere which is 20~50km (60 000 ~ 150 000ft).
Commercial planes can't fly that high, mil cargo like the c17 have a service ceiling of 45 000ft, so getting the "stuff" up there in sufficient quantity and spreading it around seems like a logistical problem.

It's like something from a movie...albeit a bad one.

Injecting pollutants into the atmosphere to reflect the sun would be extremely dangerous, but the UK is funding field trials

when will they realise and ADMIT it's a natural cycle that's been happening for millions/billions of years ... as I have said (and evidenced) elsewhere - sea levels were once tens of metres higher than they are currently (and will be again), due to polar regions eventually returning to the temperate climes they were several times, before we arrived on the scene
coastal settlements will be in the same boat as any muppet who builds on a river's flood plain -- they're going to eventually get wet(ter)

" Does Tony Blair have a point about net zero?​

The former prime minister has said the government’s energy policy is doomed to fail, a line taken by Reform and the Tories. Thomas Lane asks what this means for Britain’s decarbonisation ambitions
Tony Blair’s intervention on Britain’s net zero ambitions just before the local elections has unsurprisingly caused consternation. His statement that net zero is “doomed to fail” aligns with the stance of Reform and the Conservative party and is surprising coming from the former leader of a party that made decarbonising Britain’s electricity by grid 2030 a key policy commitment.
Putting aside the timing of this statement, it is worth examining why Blair said what he did. His central tenet is that countries such as China, India and potentially much of Africa, are growing at such a rate that carbon emissions are going up rather than down despite attempts to mitigate them. "

Most normal people want to live in a cleaner world but not by the bs they bring in when anyone with ½ a brain know it's bs.

Work towards a better future by making sure what is proposed is an improvement on what is being used at present

They were quite stupid to make such an ambitious date on something so unknown and unachievable. No projects ever get done on time.
It's going to be interesting to see how these newly announced climate engineering experiments go though.

how do you think it'll go ----- a complete **** up'll be the result and hopefully not a permanent one ... they'll be messing with sh1t they know sweet FA about - the rag heads discovered that last year and flooded Dubai
and HM Gov.s **** up on/over Dartmoor in the 50,s, (which has recently come to light), resulted in Boscastle getting virtually annihilated ........ they just do not learn

There was 1 two weeks ago somewhere day before they had been cloud seeding then had big floods

 

[Lancs Lad]

Nature left alone does just fine

It's us lot that causes the clusterfkups ,when will they learn ..or do they want to

Interesting to read the propaganda machines take on the topic. In a nutshell folk are waking up to the fact they are having their leg pulled and being screwed...for a vanity project.

I've said it before but it's going to go down in history as the biggest con and brainwashing scandal in history. A solution for a problem that doesn't exist.

How the political consensus on climate change has shattered

In 2019, the UK committed in law to reducing its carbon emissions to net zero by 2050. Now the political climate has changed.

I think it's unwise to predict what will happen with something you know nothing about. Cloud seeding has not been mentioned and wasn't the cause of 2024 United Emirate floods, it's a myth.
Those kind of extreme weather events are caused by the changing climate, it's what they're trying to protect against, not cause - that would counterproductive.

You best read up on it ,its a well known fact that the emirates cloud seed ,the goverment have published papers on it
