Are we all fucked?

[astfgyl]

How many pages before we all realise that we are actually fucked because everything is so subjective? Can't end well surely?

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

That would be convenient, if it were true. For example, all three sources above, despite differences about the ship tracks (which are a new phenomenon) agree on a central point. As the article I didn't post myself concludes:

In summary, the primary driver of climate change remains CO2 emissions from fossil fuels.

4.9% of 0.04 = 0.00196.

That's a lot of heavy lifting done by that little bit of atmosphere. I'm not convinced. Do we all think that climate would be stable without human emissions, we do?

In fact, most households in developed countries already have WiFi at home, and this technology may be scaled to monitor the well-being of elder people or just identify suspicious behaviors at home.

We are up to 3 degrees now Ted. Article really should have stated that it's global boiling nowadays.

"broken promises, broken lives and broken records" not in the slightest bit melodramatic. Whose lives are broken? Greta and who else?

No point going further afield with you, but farmers all across southern Europe for one thing (including my utterly non-woke father-in-law and his 50 years of experience tracking climate conditions and harvest quantities):

So far we're only really feeling the effects of that in terms of price via inflation due to reduced but not exhausted stocks. We'll see how that all develops between now and 2030.

Old Blighty gone and brexited itself into a Napoleon complex!

I think he's actually on the ball, to be honest, moreso than a lot of his peers who are allowing us lovely Westerners to sleepwalk into a deliberately engineered social disintegration. The Western way of life is very definietely under attack, it's just a shame he doesn't recognise Brexit was a fundamental part of it. He did use the Eurofighter as part of his presentation, however, so maybe this is a subtle way of saying "We were wrong, Brussels, please take us back!"

The UK are and have long been one of the engineers of global conflict, not a party who merely react to aggressions that happen to enter their sphere of influence. They're also the second biggest arms producer and exporter in the world. Second only to their bum-chum the US. I don't think "on the ball" is the expression to use when they have so much control over where the ball goes. Any and all further global conflict is, above all, a lovely little earning opportunity.

[Bürggermeister]

Yep, absolutely all true, however I still think the efforts of Russia and China to destabilise and, ultimately, break up Europe have gained a lot of traction in the social media age and they have upped their efforts in return. I'd consider our way of life, as shady as it is, to be very much threatened by them and, in that sense, consider him to be on the ball indeed.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Ya, those threats have long been known though. Which is why this feels to me more like a sales pitch than anything else, albeit a sales pitch for tooling up and kicking off WWIII.

In short, and correct me if I've got you wrong, "on the ball" makes it sound like this is GB preparing to preempt military confrontations which are on the way whether they like it or not. Though not at all denying Russia, China, Iran, etc., are threats, I'd nevertheless be contending that GB are just as likely as almost any other player to participate in engineering large and lengthy military confrontations out of more limited, local tensions. It would serve their own interests (in the short term, before the planet collapses, at least) on multiple fronts.

Entirely with the Shep on this one. That video is rotten to the core.
