Future Tense

Smart, or led by the nose for twelve years by an education establishment that teaches them only one way.

I remember as a kid in the late 70s hearing that the world would run out of oil before the end of the century. Humans have a way of solving problems.

@gant - I was more thinking of our resident citizen smith who likes to turn every post in to either a Brexit or Conservative failure thread. The one who's debating style starts with the premise that you are an idiot and its "my" job to educate or ridicule you. It's highly effective at at convincing people... oh hang on.. not its not.

In the above though, more a case of kicking the can down the road (at least since the climate issues have become more starkly evident).
 
Did the Tories not get a landslide in the last election?
They did on the back of Brexit voters then sold them down the river.
This shows that the majority of the electorate is conservative but that who they voted for are not.

right-wing news outlets, like GBNews, don't?
The brilliant Mark Steyn, a true conservative. had two heart attacks recently.

The Guardian accepts donations and doesn't hide behind a paywall
That's because:
1) The type of people who read The Guardian don't pay for things and
2) Nobody would pay to read it anyway.
 
The WEF puppet rishy spelled out today as a true globalist would how he will work with our eu neighbours and countries elsewhere.
Brexit rishi? your having a laugh.

The history of human development is intricately linked with global warming. While part of the rise in Earth’s surface temperature can be attributed to natural patterns of climate change, these historical trends shed some light on how much human activities are behind the rapid increase in global average temperatures in the last 85 years.

Glaciers melting; rain falling over Greenland; rising sea levels; forty degrees in Coningsby last summer - how much more evidence do you require, squire?

The average temperature of the Earth has varied during the past one thousand years. Grape growing and wine making were possible in England between 1100 and 1300--a time known as the Medieval Warm Period (MWP). The Vikings settled Greenland at this time. There were 3000 farmers in Greenland in 1300, but they died out during a time known as the Little Ice Age (LIA), which ran from 1350 to 1850. The Thames froze solidly during some winters in Shakespeare's time, an occasion for "Frost Fairs." The last Frost Fair occurred in 1814, the last time the Thames froze solidly. The MWP and the LIA were global phenomena, although not all areas were equally affected. The modern warming trend started in 1850 and it too is a global phenomenon.

It is possible to estimate the actual temperature increases and decreases that occurred in the past one thousand years. The MWP was 1°C or 2°C warmer than the average temperature of the millennium. The LIA was 1°C or 2°C colder. The current warm era is about 0.75°C warmer and thus not warmer than the MWP. Grape growing and wine making are still not possible in areas that supported it during the MWP. These temperature excursions, both positive and negative, are not very different from excursions occurring during the past 10,000 years.

Prior to 1850, carbon dioxide concentration is in the range typical of a warm, interglacial period. Carbon dioxide concentration is perhaps a little higher during the MWP and a little lower during the LIA. The correlation is not very convincing. However, one thing jumps out. Carbon dioxide concentration started increasing decisively around 1850. By 1900, it is clear that a 400,000 year old pattern ended.

Methane is the second most important greenhouse gas. The greenhouse effect of methane is 20 times greater than carbon dioxide, but there is less methane in the atmosphere. The net result is that methane contributes to about 25% of global warming. Like carbon dioxide, methane concentration started increasing decisively around 1850. Now methane concentration is at unprecedented levels. This is additional evidence that the 400,000 year old pattern has ended.

There are 352,000 digital subscriptions; 548,000 recurring contributions; 119,000 print subscriptions across (The Guardian, The Observer and Guardian Weekly). A rise of 60% in the last year, so they must be doing something right.

I choose to subscribe, just as i would pay for my daily paper from the newsagent. On the whole, right-wing papers do not give you that choice. Isn't that what you wish to see in a free press: the right to choose?

Your point - to me - being?
 
So you don't think his language shows him for what he is?
No truer saying than we get the politicians we deserve.
Rish! is what he is: a Tory technocrat. I didn't listen to his speech but read commentaries which weren't impressed by his words.
No wonder Generation Z isn't listening to our politicians anymore.
