Proclaimed by one "C. Packham" as being " blessed" with Asperger's. If she can talk the talk to China, India et all then I'll sit up and take notice.

I don't think that that Swedish lass is proclaiming to be an expert in anything. She's just going off what scientists have found out.

Fair point.....But this message needs to reach out a whole lot further than Europe. If it doesn't then it becomes kind of pointless. I reiterate China, India et all.

I agree that it needs more countries to participate in order to make more of a difference. Either way, we should be looking after our environment.

Would it be so bad to curtail our emissions and prioritise renewable energy etc., even if America, China et al didn't initially follow suit?
At least we'd have a nicer place to live in, while we watch the next generations starve of oxygen and/or die of thirst.

Per capita, China is little worse than us and they are a major manufacturer which bumps up countries CO2 output. Also, they installing renewables at a far higher rate than most https://www.economicshelp.org/blog/10296/economics/top-co2-polluters-highest-per-capita/?fbclid=IwAR1vbrRwnJvnPTDTT7lsKR_LVkasQ68JqB2ZSjkeuPj6CXASKwq-kFvGQS0
