  1. BBC propaganda. Global temperatures maxed out in 2016 and have been lower ever since (UAH v6 global satellite data). 500 billion tonnes of emissions in that time (14% of man-made CO2) and no warming. There is no climate crisis.

  2. More propaganda from Auntie Beeb. The truth is Climate Change, i.e. warming, saved 555,103 lives in England and Wales between 2001 and 2020 (ONS, 2022). There are over 5 million excess deaths per annum globally due to abnormal temperatures, so says the 2000-2019 study led Prof. Guo of Monash University. It found that over 90% of excess deaths were caused by excess COLD rather than excess heat. That's 4½ million souls died of the cold. This applied globally including in the hottest continent, Africa. So, in a world with increasingly warmer temperatures, there will be less excess death. Warming is good not bad. There has been a 10% decline in natural disasters since 2000 (CRED). Normalised disaster losses have decreased since 1990 and human mortality due to extreme weather has decreased by more than 95% since 1920.

  3. BBC propaganda. Think about it: So people moved from Somalia (where it is dry) to the Gulf States (where it is drier!). This has nothing to do with the climate and everything to do with poverty and bad governance. The reason the Gulf States are a better place to live is they have fossil fuels. Fossil fuel = wealth. What Somalia needs is more fossil fuels to run vehicles, drive machinery and generate electricity. This news item is full of lies.

  4. @Jay Kanta  "The greening of the planet over the last two decades represents an increase in leaf area on plants and trees equivalent to the area covered by all the Amazon rainforests. There are now more than two million square miles of extra green leaf area per year"(NASA, 2019). Thank you NASA.

  5. @Jay Kanta  "In the long run" you're dead.

  6. How long is "the long run"? 100, 1000, 1000000 years? In the 'long run' do they mean the next Interglacial, Mr. Spaghetti Bollocks?
