@ZLabe @GeraldKutney And meantime, this is what UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has to say: "I am not in hock to the ideological zealots". That's YOU, Zack, & YOU, Gerald - and me! What he meant was, he wasn't interested in the SCIENCE, because it would tell him that continuing to drill for oil and gas, & dig for coal, is a very bad idea!

Shame because profit is more important than facts to politicians nowadays. Especially rishi sunak whose probably more concerned with how he can give his millionaire wife more tax-cuts.

It;s worth noting that the last London Frost Fair ON The River Thames was 1814.

Just over 200 years and London rarely gets snow any more.

Or put another way, we reversed the possible Ice Age in 209 years.

I think 2050 is optimistic to halt, let alone undo the damage, even if Fossil Fuels were banned at midnight.
