Nope, not at all. They do what they say on the label, you just have to engage a little.
Climate Change

There was a major change in the world's climate, which brought the Bronze Age to an end. Guess it must have been a direct result of the Flintstones, driving about in their cars? On the other hand, perhaps climate change is just a natural phenomenon.

indeed over about 300 years it is estimated global temperatures fell by about 0.75ºC and climate changes put some once fertile areas into drought causing Chaos (change linked to widespread volcano activity blocking out the sun)
we have changed our global temp by twice that (+1.5ºC) in a shorter period due to burning fossil fuels
could our era be brought to an end ?

Climage change doesn't mean hotter and drier all year. Just summer. Winter is warmer and wetter.I think it's safe to say that we're no longer in drought here in Yorkshire.
The 1980s Prediction:
In the early 1980s, the primary source for UK-specific climate modeling was the Met Office and the Climate Research Unit (CRU).
- The Study: One of the most influential papers of that era was by Hansen et al. (1981), published in Science, titled "Climate Impact of Increasing Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide".
- The Prediction: While it focused on global trends, it noted that increased temperatures would intensify the hydrological cycle. Specifically for Northern Europe and the UK, models from this period (including those by Manabe and Stouffer) predicted that a warmer atmosphere would hold more water vapour, leading to increased winter precipitation in high latitudes.
Don't you worry come the Summer there will be hosepipe bans--- which will be blamed on climate change and not lack of infrastructure and reservoirs.I think it's safe to say that we're no longer in drought here in Yorkshire.
Feel Scammed yet. - Wait till summer

Norway have or are opening new oil / gas fields in the North Sea

we will need it for decades, we do need to move away from it, but as long as we need it we should be using our ownMore fool us for still needing it then
and yes I understand the argument that it all just gets sold on the international markets, but least we will still be part of that market, and in times of push coming to shove (and we are living in an ever more unstable world) our gov could demand it is landed on our shores and used by us.
As regards oil, I don't think we can actually use most of it now, because it is too sour and heavy for our refineries. It's sort of like the US problem in reverse.
Gas is much more complex and interconnected. We don't really have much storage, so we export some of it to Europe in the summer, then bring it back in the winter.
