I've always been pretty sceptical of the extent of climate change but difficult to argue with the amount of extreme weather that has affected the world recently

I do have total faith though that sounds policies plus technological advances will help to mitigate it and stabilise things

Changes in weather conditions .. even extreme changes doesn’t mean its a man made problem..

Maybe its just nature maybe a bit of both ?


There must be some data or charts to illustrate any massive changes at the time of the industrial revolution and so on

Bit of both I think. Tbh we had no real way of measuring weather effectively until quite recently and we also had very little awareness of the global climate

That's what Greta et al forget when they blame previous generations so viciously

Yes but you are reacting mainly to the fact that "extreme weather" makes the media now, 20 years ago when the MSM were not pumping out "extreme weather" news and you were not consuming it I was monitoring it

So when you see "extreme flooding" say in Saudi Arabia and you think oh wow that's new it must be CO2 production" I think yes I recall flooding like that umpteen times in the last 40 years.

Be careful where you are getting your weather news and why you are getting it

Well that's quite interesting but I'm not totally convinced. UAE had like a year's worth of rainfall in 24 hours this year which was very unusual. Dozens of pilgrims died in Saudi because of extreme temps. Europe has had massive heatwaves of 40C+, the US has had serious heatwaves. We've had a lot more flooding. Ski resorts have been shut down because of there being no snow. I think the frequency of extreme weather events has been pretty extraordinary in the last few years while I recognise that they have always happened to some extent
