hornbyben What evidence would you need to see in order to have you change your mind?
It’s all all over the place mate. As I said above, when we places are regularly getting flooded unlike in the last 60-70 years, how devastating these Hurricanes have become, wild fires in California, melting glaciers and many more!
Education is the key. We aren’t doing enough. Government machineries are not doing much in this space. No more new diesel cars by 2030 isn’t going to cut ice. People won’t understand. They need to know why. We can all do our bit by being responsible, which can only happen if we understand the problem statement.
As I said, we can’t fix the mess we created for our future generation in 20-30 years. This is the mess the haves created. The have nots are now becoming haves, they are doing it that will neutralise what the then haves are now trying.
We have to read to understand how the advanced nations through the very big companies missed a great opportunity when they collectively agreed the emissions target and what is now the ETS - Emissions Trading System.
My concern is we may not even succeed by 2100. Of course, I can say, I don’t care because I will be dead. But, we should all collectively as our children, theirs and their grands will be around.

The Paris agreement aimed to restrict temperature increase to 1.5C by 2050 because it will result in significant declining trend in emissions. This is the IPCC’s 1.9 pathway target. The aim is to stay at 1.9 and if not 2.6. But, we are unlikely to meet these; we may be already heading towards 4.5, which we don’t want.
Have a read. It’s educative
