Just spent the last two evenings watching David Attenborough docos and about all this, and the whole family is getting very depressed.Yeah, that guy. Man I love his nature docs..but there's one animal he just doesn't love, lol. He's a malthusian doomer. Anything and everything is a reason to get the filthy poors to stop breeding, like that were the issue. If you come off with the impression that nothing short of the end of the human race is acceptable, then mission accomplished.

That's mass extinction level climate change right there.The reason that cop26 is a sham is that it's an oil lobbyist luncheon. Greenwashing on a global scale. Making commitments we won't keep that would be insufficient even if we did.
