The flooding in Germany/ Belgium looks horrific..42 confirmed dead 70 missing and more heavy rain forecast..not looking good

Awaits climate change denier claiming its always rained in Germany etc or after they have built carbon capture machines a European sized umbrella will come next.

I agree concerned is correct but as opposed to changing the Earths Climate by whatever measures you care to mention is utter bollocks. It is not in our power -full stop- to change the climate of our planet (or any other celestial body). This is all far bigger than us Humans (at this point in our evolution at least)

Sorry but this is so far from the reality of the world.

of course we have the power to change the climate. When we observe the earth from space. Comparing the earth to scale to a wooden globe you have on a desk as an example. The atmosphere of our planet to scale is less than a single coat of varnish would be on that wooden globe.

now imagine, putting millions of years of CO2 stored in the earths crust back into the atmosphere in 100/200 years? You don’t think they will effect anything?

how about a real world example. After the 2nd world war there was a global cooling event for a few years due to the level of dust etc in the atmosphere kicked up by all the explosions. That is, by the very defining of it. Changing the climate.

You’ll not convince some, we’ll kill the planet

They don’t need convincing they need culling. It’s more not caring rather than not believing.

Watched David Attenborough the other night.
One interest fact regarding the rate of extinctions of both plant and animal life absolutely spiking off the charts in the last 10-20 years, was demonstrated alarmingly with a pie chart showing all higher animal life only, i.e. all animals with a backbone on earth.
approx. 60% of this category are livestock farmed as a food source for humans.
Humans are only around the 30% mark
and wild animals only make up around 6%.

That in itself says a lot as far as I’m concerned. We’re killing biodiversity.
