12 reasons why I don't believe there's a climate emergency
I’m not a scientist. But I have reasons why I don’t fully trust the ‘climate emergency’ narrative. Here they are: 1 Looking back through history, there have always been doomsday prophets, folk who say the world is coming to an end. Are modern-day activists not just the current version of this? 2 I look at some of the facts – CO2 is 0.04% of the atmosphere; humans are responsible for just 3% of CO2; Britain is responsible for just 1% of the world’s CO2 output – and I think ‘ really ’? Will us de-carbonising really make a difference to the Earth’s climate? 3 I have listened to some top scientists who say CO2 does not drive global warming; that CO2 in the atmosphere is a good/vital thing; that many other things, like the sun and the clouds and the oceans, are more responsible for the Earth’s temperature. 4 I note that most of the loudest climate activists are socialists and on the Left. Are they not just using this movement to push their dreams of a deindustrialised socialist utopia?...
