“Fusion is a major challenge, but one that must be tackled. We believe that with collaboration, dedication and investment, fusion will be the best means of achieving deep decarbonisation of the global energy supply in the 2030s and beyond.”

 

I'm not convinced, but the amount of wires and gadgets on display is impressive.

"but scientific studies indicate that the average global volcanic output is insignificant when compared to emissions from human activity. "

 

...being a significant quote about CO2

Yeah...I been taking a sabbatical from the internet last few days - phone trouble.. had a long rant on the other Global Warming thread. Heard a thing on YouTube the other day that made sense to me, to paraphrase: The most powerful institutions in the world are banks. Banks care about money, and nothing else. Banks make money by lending money intelligently. They have the resources to hire people who are very very good at making accurate predictions about the long term future. Yes, they occasionally get it wrong, but mostly they get it right, or they wouldn't have such vast wealth. Banks have been, and continue to invest in seafront realestate and development to the tune of trillions a year. Some of these investments are decades long loans. Twenty years ago the "climate scientists" were telling us many of these seafront areas would be underwater by the year 2000. They were wrong. In 2000, they were saying they would be underwater by 2020. We're not there yet, 8 months to go, but I think it's safe to say, they were wrong. A lot of angst was suffered for years by millions of people because of predictions that were just plain wrong. And the banks knew it the whole time. The kept investing, and continue to invest, in seafront development. Just a thought...

I read a terrifying thing today, that in 2050, Britain's climate will be comparable to present day Barcelona.

You know how there has been endless press on how methane from cattle and sheep is so bad for the environment? Well if this is right all the figures have been faulty from the start and methane is a non issue for UK meat production

That is a very interesting article.  As always it shows the true answer to reducing man made climate change is not simple.  Just the same with palm oil - some of it is grown in a sustainable way - it doesn’t have to cause deforestation.  It is all about local appropriate management of methods and outcomes.  
 

The developed world should certainly reduce meat consumption, but not necessarily by becoming vegan.
