Climate Change

Guardian is Eight Times More Climate Alarmist Than Other Newspapers – and It's Getting Everyone Down, Study Finds – The Daily Sceptic

A study has found that "catastrophic language" on climate appears eight times more often in Guardian articles than in other news media – and it's getting everybody down. Wasn't this obvious, asks Ben Pile.

Interesting article, who knew the Guardian newspaper was like that.

fudge climate change. I'll be dead anyway.

I just don't want to give Saudi Sportswashing Machine and Emirates Marketing Project my money.

Dead? It's here already, and it's getting worse rapidly! This is the 3rd straight year I'm sitting here, just 30 miles from the Arctic Circle, it's Christmas eve and it's tinkling down with rain and I'm looking at a green lawn, while we should have had at least half a metre of snow by now.

It just ain't right.
 
The daily sceptic. Lol.

What is interesting is I would consider that they are 8 times less alarmist than they should be. Most of what they publish is watered down considerably given the situation. And they are best of a bad bunch, which is the real alarming thing.

And people used to ice skate on the thames.

We are no warmer now than we have been in history. It's what the effects will be in the future we need to worry about.

Net zero is bollox anyway. CO2 etc... can last 100s of years in the atmosphere and will keep warming the planet. So we need to go to net minus (take everything out we put in) to stop it.

Although it's a great concern to most people it's a thing I can't get worked up to get worried about it as there is nothing I can do. The only people who can couldn't give a fudge, they are only concerned about making money and keeping power in their life time.
It won't effect me but I worry about my family's future as they like most of us are expendable.

The only way we'll stop using fossil fuels is if we find a cheaper/better alternative. If we do then everyone will convert to clean energy.

That's what is happening. Renewables are much cheaper than fossil, that's why they are taking over the globe at a rapid rate.

America and the Middle East are just clinging onto the past, as it's all they've got.

Storage is the problem for countries not in the tropics. Also the grid needs to be upgraded which in this country of nimbys and politicians all wanting their say/cut. It can take ages.
We pay billions to turn off power from wind turbines when the output is more than demand. We also pay for gas peaker plants to sit there and do nothing until needed.
Then our bidding auctions are a joke as we pay everyone the same as the highest bid.
Hinkley point c is going to kill us unless it makes edf bankrupt before then.
The whole system is a joke which has led to the highest energy bills in the developed world. Which will mean tge death of pharmacutcals and industrial in this country.

You have nuclear but look at the last 3 that edf have built. Huge expense. Which means huge bills.
Solar and wind have storage problems and changes needed to the grid.

We'll get there. But it will cost a fortune as our politicians and civil service seem unable to get a good deal.

Aviation is an issue.

Have the AI companies subsidise the builds as they are the ones that need the rapid increases which only nuclear can facilitate.

Nuclear could be built cheaper as well. The regulation requirements are the bulk of the costs.
