Cities are normally 2 plus degrees warmer as well as man made temperature increasesCos that's where most people live?
It’s not a sensible calculation to be attempting- like comparing apples to marmosets.I agree but can someone do the calculation as to whether this is better than Oil or Gas for the planet?
I think changes are not linear, rather, work on the principal of tipping points, like the Amazon, once a tipping point is reached the climate of that area will change and suddenly rainfall patterns will change significantly (reducing a lot of grain supplies to the world), last straw to break the... and all that.Given that warming has been happening for a while can someone tell me where the sea levels have risen so far?
Who?When Harry and Meagain cease their hypocritical nonsense then I might consider it.
I shall phrase my response again... Is this thread asking about what steps we are taking to reduce our contribution to climate change or what steps we are taking to cope better with the effects of climate change....The OP can either be taken at a personal level or business level i.e. your own contribution
Mine is probably to make both personal and business emissions worse until it makes financial sense to make it better.
And also use much more air con thereby heating the environment outside the buildings, but your point was that more people die in cities. I was just referring to the simple maths.Cities are normally 2 plus degrees warmer as well as man made temperature increases
Have never had a new car or tractor.When was your last new car and tractor?
How do you hear your hot water
A man after my own heart.Have never had a new car or tractor.

It appears @SilliamWhale is taking the role of trying to “trip people up”very seriously.
That is,actually,the best thing for the planet.Strange how the eco warrior/Vegan activist has completely twisted the true facts with the assistance of the BBC and Media in general.I'm eating more meat.
Hopefully, this will increase the amount of grazing grass required and therefore sequester more carbon into the soil .
You thingk aircon is common in uk cities? Your having a laugh. I’ll put it differently. A disproportionate amount of people will die In cities during a elongated heat wave.And also use much more air con thereby heating the environment outside the buildings, but your point was that more people die in cities. I was just referring to the simple maths.
In the west, population rise is due to increasing life expectancy.I am not sure that is correct.
At present we have the lowest ever birth rate since records began and I haven't noticed any one starving yet in this country.
What does of course make the greatest difference would be to reduce the population in the world, however at present everything is being done to keep more people alive. Malaria vaccine will make a massive difference to the population in the world.
Covid has reduced the numbers but has mostly done that be accelerating the rate at which the elderly or infirm have left the planet.
Famine still reduces the numbers in parts of Africa but not in many other areas. There is of course still starvation due to wars and lack of infrastructure and desertification.
I have been in favour of overseas aid, to as you say, help their economies mature, but I was unhappy with the perceived waste of the money. I am not sure that our aid money is well spent.In the west, population rise is due to increasing life expectancy.
In societies with good welfare (health, sanitation etc), people tend to have fewer children because child mortality is lower and a more mature economy means that labour isn't as required. Over time this brings birthrate below replacement. This is observed across all cultures and locations.
So for populations to stabilise we need to get all countries to a position where child mortality is low and the economy is mature.
This would help stabilise carbon emissions for the long term.
Yet UK government cut overseas aid.
