I know the truth and that is enough for me.

Genuine question for you. When I am out in a boat and I look in the distance and can see the end of the sea (also referred to by some dead heads as the horizon) is it wise to avoid sailing too close? I always tend to just to be on the safe side

Indeed, because we never had storms like this ever at any time in human history. Climate change is yet another hoax to tax and cheat people, and backed up with BS from government funded scientists. Cue all the brain dead laughing at me. Hey guess what....I don't care what you think of me. I know the truth and that is enough for me.

 It is real and we can fix it, if people just pay more taxes. Did we ever fix the hole in the ozone layer? I guess so as no one talks about it anymore

If you research back to the sixties, they have been doomsdaying about the coming decade each decade lol. And each time what they say will happen does not, but the taxes still exist. 

As ever the masses are fooled and chew their nails down to the stump. Meanwhile those that know don't bat an eyelid coz we know full well it's a scam. 

Climate change is real and a natural cycle we go through every so often. They manipulate figures and ignore eras that don't fit the agenda to scaremonger... Just like how weather maps have changed to show deep red fire like colourings when it hits a moderate 25 degrees. That people fall for it does not shock me. 

As has been said, it is more easy to fool people than it is to show people they have been fooled. 

Cue more laughing emojis from the turkeys who believe the nonsense.

If you can’t see any dragons you should be ok.

Yes, countries signed up to the Montreal Protocol, and reduced CFC emissions. This has helped.

When it's a bit too cold to protest outside and glue yourself to the motorway, there's always the option of disrupting someone's livelihood inside.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1kmwp0l997o

Quote

Two protesters from Just Stop Oil have disrupted a performance of The Tempest, starring Sigourney Weaver in London's West End.

A man and a woman from the environmental campaign group climbed on to the stage at Theatre Royal Drury Lane on Monday evening.

They launched a confetti canon and a voice called out: "We'll have to stop the show, ladies and gents, sorry."

Hollywood actress Weaver, who had been sitting in a chair on stage, was escorted away by a member of the theatre's staff.

I think the line ‘hardly the crime of the century’ is appropriate in this case.

I’d have less sympathy if they used a flamethrower not a confetti cannon.

Selfish attention seekers. There are far more effective ways of trying to make your point.

North Somerset had a yellow warning of rain about a week ago.  It drizzled for an hour or so in the afternoon.

Still, better to be safe than sorry I guess.

Better than a warning of yellow rain I suppose.

My wife was always telling me that there was a heatwave just after she was born in April 1949. By the time I came along in July it was over. The highest temperature reached 29.4C on 16th April. How on earth did anybody survive?

£800m over 4 years!

Sorry to MLG you but having read further, it is the whole funding body, established by Dominic Cummings as a more high risk, high reward funder along the lines of DARPA in the US, which has a budget of £800m, not that project or programme. This particular programme, one of their biggest, could be up to £50m in value but probably won’t be in practice. 

Some of the other programmes are here including Programmeable Plants are here https://www.aria.org.uk and https://www.aria.org.uk/opportunity-spaces/programmable-plants/programmable-plants

I much prefer the plants and other programmes and don’t like the sun dimming project. But the whole point of ARIA was to be different and risky so we understand more in the future if we do need to use those methods. Not saying it’s my cup of tea but it’s meant to be more edgy and have commercial applications.

Just jumping on a couple of points.

Firstly I work quite closely with farms and currently they are being offered quite hefty sums to build solar on farmland, money which really does smash the equivalent returns if it was used for rape, livestock etc.

Secondly, climate change is very much real and it's causing us to change the way we farm. One particular family farm has recorded the weather every day going back to the 1800's, looking through the books you can see that whilst the yearly amount of rain we receive is pretty similar to 150 years ago we have less rainy days and when it does rain, we seem to get more than we used to. The daily temperatures certainly have ticked up and you can really notice the difference in the winter months compared to the turn of the last century.

There is one bit of good news! I worked with a couple of large French Champagne companies who are buying up farmland within Hampshire, West Sussex, Kent etc because they believe on the current trend that the UK will be able to produce sparkling wines which really will be world class in the next 10-20 years.

Nice to know we can raise a toast on the day the atmosphere crosses the point of no return. 🙂

A local company, Chapel Down, claim that their sparkling wine is now better than Champagne because the climate here is now what it used to be there.

Why do you find that funny nutty nic?

Some evidence for you.

Both ARIA, the research body who are proposing this geo-engineering project, and the Improving Farm Productivity grant scheme, which invites landowners to apply for subsidies to install solar farms, are creations of previous Tory governments.

But you were completely ok with Batshit Boris and Looney Liz?

With regard to solar power, do you think it makes sense to develop our own sustainable energy resources (and cheaper power) or would you rather rely on the likes of Putin to mess with prices and supplies?

You've missed the irony...fill fields with solar, but dim the sun. That's got nothing to do with being against solar.

Haven’t looked into the ‘dim the sun’ story but as a rule scientific research projects tend to be more complex as too benefits down the line.

Suits the incredibly thick to summarise erroneously though, see transgender mice.

I too am becoming more authoritarian in my old age though and would support the interminably thick not being allowed to vote.

I’m assuming that they wouldn’t be looking at dimming the sun over fields of solar panels. I also believe that modern solar panels don’t need direct sunlight to charge up either. Still, if it keeps the hard of thinking amused then it can’t do much harm.

I would much rather we used our farmland for solar than for raping.

Added to that the peer review and Director’s panel decisions, whilst supposed to be faster, may have taken months, and may even have happened under the last government as well.
