      Prog house has played its part too.

      The amount of forests burned to see Guy J play to enthusiastic South Americans must be off the chart.

      The four countries Alok Sharma should target and lobby in his push for net zero are China, the US, Russia and India. Will he fuck though. Others countries will understandably be reluctant to impose more cost and disruption on their economies all the time they get rich by burning and exporting more coal.

      alistair Ed, perhaps you could you donate your services to wind generation?

          Strikes me everyone needs clear info on what they can do to help.

                Not to denigrate anyone’s conscientious efforts and care towards the world, but it’s true.

                If things go seriously tits up, geo-hacking will be the only way out.

                  Mad_Cyril Don’t have any kids, or don’t have any more kids, consume less of everything, don’t ever get on a plane to anywhere, vote green, eat organic, grow the grass in your garden (mow it once a year, your need a strimmer or a sythe), plant a native tree in your garden (oaks are boss for wildlife and look great), wear your clothes till they fall off your back, get solar panels for your house (issues), use sunscreen.
