  1. This is the start of a very bad weather year. The significant of this tornado is not that it happened, it is its severity. No one can say if this is the result of global warming, but it is consistent with the increasing intensity of such weather events. The failure of COP26 to agree the measures necessary to hold the average earth temperature rise to 1.5 degrees C, is really not relevant, as the weather over the next 12 to 18 months is likely to change the minds of even the politicians who are in the pockets of the fossil fuel industry. The industry itself is also likely to start to suffer from climate change, with extreme weather events damaging their infrastructure and therefore their profitability. The shame is that leaving the necessary measures so late, is that the environmental damage will be all the greater. Unfortunately the only actions we can be sure about, is it is essential to cut green house gas emissions to zero as soon as possible. What is not clear is what we will use to replace this energy source. For the fossil fuel investor, who is going to lose a lot of money, if they continue to invest in this industry, there is a sure fire alternative that will be showing growth, that is green technology, since either this tech is made to work, or we are all going to die a premature death. So it's a safe investment. In fact its the only investment. Green not only covers energy generation and energy saving, but food production in a warming world and the re-wilding of the global environment, increasing bio diversity. The cost of repairing the damage of this single weather event is going to run into billions of dollars, imagine the cost if this become a regular event, the norm across the world.
