@mikeatcora It’s just a scientific fact that the planet has warmed by just over a degree these past 250 years, pal. I’m old. As a kid, we had bitter winters with lying snow almost every year. In the last 30 years, I can count on the fingers of one hand the winters we have had where snow fell and lied for weeks on end. I live on the 55th parallel North. So, even anecdotally folks can see this 🌍 is warming. They don’t actually need the stats to verify this. The issue here is the complicity, or otherwise, of humans in all this. On balance, having looked at the evidence, I happen to think that humans are significantly contributing to global warming through fossil fuel burning. Given this, it makes utter sense to phase out fossil fuels. With this caveat: we must do it sensibly. They will be needed for some time to come as the transition to renewables is made. Who knows? Given that we are currently in an inter-glacial period, 500 years down the line when we have stopped using fossil fuels, the planet might start a rapid cooling trend leading to that ever-promised next Ice Age, and there might be a desperate clamour to start burning fossil fuels as quickly as possible!
