Climate Crisis: Are we doing enough?

[matticus]

Maybe Mr Nails has never ridden in the Alps, Pyrenees or Massif Central, at least in the summer...

Eh? How is saying "I've never done <achievement X>" in the spirit of playing Top Trumps??

Hint: I was never really playing Top Trumps, just extracting the urine. HTH.

P.s. I have also never failed to finish any of the stages of the TDF that I've entered.

I don't think the Telegraph is fully onboard yet though.

And what with the climate being cooler when there was lots of smog...

Tim Stanley just changed his LinkedIn status to ‘open to work’.

Either that or it’s The Telegraph’s version of rage bait

Just one of the many proposed data centres:

Proposed London datacentre will have annual carbon footprint of 27,000 flights to New York
Exclusive: Planning documents show datacentre in North Ockendon would be incompatible with UK net zero targets

... using 218 hectares of green belt to run servers and data storage systems

And I still can't understand what problem AI is the solution to.

We need it cos the tech bros have told us that we need it.

Hang on, I'll just get an amusing - yet bizarre - cartoon to illustrate the point ...

For those politicians fighting doing anything to even slow our Climate Destruction protected from the worst in their suburban lives, maybe this will start making them think a bit more?

Invasive tropical mosquito found breeding in east London​

Climate crisis could increase incursions of Aedes aegypti, which can transmit Zika virus and dengue, experts say

A mosquito capable of transmitting tropical diseases has been found breeding in homes in east London, with experts warning that the rapidly warming climate will lead to greater “incursions of invasive mosquitoes”.

This is the first time the species has been identified breeding in the UK ...

And whilst eg Yellow Fever and Chikungunya can be vaccinated against, Dengue can't (at least not unless you've had one variant already and it's a pretty ineffective vaccination given the variants ...

We are already seeing significant locally caught dengue infections in France, some as far north as Paris.

So when those currently denying we should act and declaring it's all fraud anyway start being at risk of dengue maybe they'll realise they've left acting too late.

No Dubai Dicky said we must embrace the warm weather and enjoy English wine and ice cream in Skegness.

The reporters should be itching to ask how wine will be produced when the vineyards are washed away in the winter and burnt away in the summer.

Who knew that climate chaos outcomes don't necessarily mean we'll have copious English wine?
