Topic: Climate Emergency is already here. How much worse it gets is still up to us (?)

[Nobby Reserve]

The ones on Woodhead are still really low too.  The one you drive over has grass growing where the water normally is.

I'd imagine that, once all the rain from the last week flows through, they'll look better.

For reservoirs that serve the NW of England, the average is at 69.8% full to 13th Nov (against an ave of 83.1%). Higher levels in the Cumbrian ones than N Wales/Pennine (https://www.unitedutilities.com/help-and-support/your-water-supply/your-reservoirs/reservoir-levels/)

Look, we can all do more, but it takes a global sacrifice, and developed nations are going to have to experience a drop in living standards that the majority will not be able to withstand if there's truly action taken.

Absolutely we all need to do more.

[skipper757]

Absolutely we all need to do more.

I'm hoping that's what will bring the world together.  I know that despite China-US tensions, the two are back committed to climate cooperation and such.  So maybe competition, especially in the developing world, will help.

Developing countries could benefit from expertise (in developing renewable infrastructure, public transit, climate-friendly lifestyles, etc).

That's at least what I'm hoping for.

To yours and Ian's points, there could be a midpoint of sorts for everyone, and that's probably the best case.

First UK coal mine in decades approved despite climate concerns https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-63892381

I’m sure it’s been mentioned elsewhere but this is utterly egregious. Climate campaigners must be in total despair. How do you try and get a government to commit to any sort of meaningful environmental change when they’re dumping waste into rivers and greenlighting coal mines in 2022.

You just have to fight them in the courts and write everything off, until the next GE.  Nothing good will happen while these pricks are in power.

At the recent COP27, the UK was strongly arguing for less global use of coal.

Environmental concerns is just froth for the Tory Party. You can also add removing restrictions on pesticides that are harmful to the wider environment and changing the planning laws to give housebuilding giants more power to force planners to allow big new estates on greenbelt land.

Oh look, the new coal mine in Cumbria given approval by the Tory Government is owned by a bunch of tax dodgers based in the Cayman Islands.

So they'll presumably use loopholes to not pay any tax to the UK.

Wonder what size the brown envelopes were?

I see the next 50 years putting a lot of stress on first world countries as I view regions in the world will no longer be able to support life.

Rising sea levels will move coast lines and droughts or extreme weather will start to push people away from some regions that are warming up. It looks like average temperatures are increasing as you go further north. I think this makes crop production possible in areas further north than before but destroys crops nearer the equator.

The regions that start to fail will have populations that want to move some where else, like central america at the moment that has had repeated crop failures.

I envisage the successful countries start to get more economic migrants than they already get now.

Hello @GretaThunberg

I have 33 cars.

My Bugatti has a w16 8.0L quad turbo.

My TWO Ferrari 812 competizione have 6.5L v12s.

This is just the start.

Please provide your email address so I can send a complete list of my car collection and their respective enormous emissions.

Guy's been totally schooled and resorts to mirroring insult that doesn't even make sense. Wow. Marcus Aurelius said it best here - "People should know when they're defeated."

His wiki has been updated 

[ScottScott]

It's impressive in this day and age of the stream of c*nts and twats online that he has come out of nowhere and taken the crown as the biggest. This new era of TikTok and YouTube Shorts of quick clips that can be shared easily and quickly is giving rise to people like this. Say something controversial and it's spread even faster

Where do I get off? Think I'm done

He's now been arrested in Romania for human trafficking. Romanian authorities used his tweets to Greta to determine he was in the country

please be true!

[Crosby Nick]

Apparently the pizzas he had delivered during the video are from a Romanian chain.

I’d never really heard of him apart from seeing his name mentioned once in a while but it’s hilarious if he’s getting some comeuppance because he’s so thin skinned he couldn’t handle a Twitter spat.

Who knows?!

it's not his first time having accusations for this? he was identified by the pizza boxes as Romanian authorities were continuing to investigate him.

[BarryCrocker]

Just think its a bit strange how he had this spat with Greta and now he's been taken in accused of human trafficking.

Who knows?!

In April, authorities found two young women, including one American citizen, in a Voluntari villa.

The women alleged they were held against their will by the Tates.

The brothers, who are British citizens, were questioned by DIICOT - Romania’s police, crime, and investigation unit - but released as investigations continued.

At the time, Tate insisted the issues arose from a “swatting incident”.

“I was not arrested. What happened is I suffered from a case of swatting. It’s very popular with people who are large on the internet.

“(Police) turned up, they investigated, they realised nobody was in the house against their will, there was no crime committed ... we had to go to the police station for 45 minutes for pieces of paper, we filled them in and we were let go.”

Andrew and his brother Tristan, who have been professional kickboxers, moved to Romania in 2017.

In a deleted video on his YouTube channel, Andrew Tate claimed “40 per cent of the reason” he moved from the UK to Romania was because it was easier he moved from the UK to Romania was because Romanian police were less likely to pursue rape charges.

“I’m not a rapist, but I like the idea of just being able to do what I want. I like being free,” he said.

[Max_powers]

He has been accused of Human Trafficking for a long time. In fact, he has admitted that he only stays in Romania because of their relaxed laws when it comes to rape.

The man is twat.

Knew nowt about this guy until this story broke and it appears a great piece of Christmas shadenfreude is present.  As you note the added bonus is other poison minded folk being taken down by Greta as they lose it
