Bang heads together and point out we are all in this together. What would you suggest ?

I agree. It is a Global issue, and our net-zero effort is very much a minor contributor, but to do nothing simply because China and India are lagging behind is hardly helping solve the problem. As things stand, everybody is standing around pointing fingers at somebody else saying "they aren't doing anything so why should we", whilst the problem spreads and worsens. Perhaps, as it is an issue affecting all it's members, and disproportionately the poorer ones, the UN should grow some balls.

Sometimes it isn't the job that loses it's luster per se, sometimes it's ruined by crap management turning a job you enjoy doing into a nightmare.

Obviously we need to mitigate, but ignoring the effects down the line of further CO2 emissions in the shorter and medium term, and not acting on those now, is negligent at best. Each fraction of a degree of additional temperature only makes the problem worse and much more difficult to ameliorate.

All 40 of them.

There are many factors in this complicated equation. As Buctootom has said, CO2 levels have increased by 40% since pre-industrial times, but the correlation is not linear. Small increases in CO2 cause atmospheric warming and that warmer air can then hold more moisture - water vapour is a very efficient GHG. Once Artic temperatures start to rise the tundra warms and methane, another GHG, can be released. Other activities such as pollution of the seas and deforestation adversely affect the natural carbon sinks of rainforests and algal growth. Warming seas can bleach coral reefs, shutting down another natural absorber of CO2. Loss of Artic and Antarctic ice means that heat that would otherwise be reflected back is now going into the sea.

Government Minister in the Lord's explains why the cartoon murals in the reception centre for immigrant children were painted over........

Kemi Badenoch on the Laura Kuensberg show saying there is no sign of a trade deal with the US because you "cannot force people to sign". Also implying that the US isn't joining the CPTPP because of a change of administration, despite the fact that Donald Trump withdrew from negotiations and Biden has just maintained that position.

Nobody is going to call you out as anti-Semitic for that post. At least you finally seem to be acknowledging the difference between "Israeli" and "Jewish".

The UK joins the CPTPP. Given we already had trade deals with most of the members, in reality we have gained 2 new deals; Malaysia and Brunei. It is forecast ( guessed ), by the Government, that the deal will add about 0.1% to the UK's GDP, which hardly starts to make up for the 4% lost due to leaving the EU. Yay !!!

But who decides which batsmen get passed over ? If, for instance, you dock them 3 wickets, would that be the next 3 in the batting line up or the last 3 ? To be fair surely it would be the former, as it is they who would be out if the wickets had truly fallen in 'normal' play.

Miley has cracking voice for rock songs.

Oh well.

You are predictable and boring. Now you can have the last word.

So, 'playing the man' then.

Is that how you deal with SOGgy's posts ?

Twat.

He has to wait for his opinion to be delivered on Twitter.

Good job for Hants he played - 49 conceded off his 4 overs.

And if he truly is a junkie he would just find another way to fund his habit if that source has dried up. The parents are concerned about the wrong thing.

Approximately 39% of the World's Jewish population live in Israel, 35% live in the USA.

Are Catholicism, Islam, or the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints religions or races ? It is possible to convert to Judaism - does that change your 'race' ?
