FFS what a shower. Biden falling asleep in his seat and having to be woken up by an aide. Prince Charles nearly falling on his arse as he goes up to make a speech.

It’s humour, I get it, but try saying now would be a good time and the thread would probably get closed.

From what i saw Greta was explaining that the UK's claim that they had done more than any other nation to combat climate change was hypocritical because currently they were not accurately measuring emissions and because the problems created by burning fossil fuels are cumulative. She emphasisied that Britain had been the first country to burn fossil fuels in large quantities and so had a greater responsibility to do something about it. Nothing about the UK having the temerity to have the industrial revolution.

 

   

 

Clearly we need to add decarbonising our history to the task of decolonising it. Every museum, every book, every school history leasson on the industrial revolution will have to be accompanied by an explanation of the harm the industrial revolution caused to the planet. Any statue of people like James Watt (and if there are any) of their decendents will need to be accompanied by a plaque "contextualising" it. Reparations to the victims of climate change must surely be made.

My dad's whole family, had their tenement in Clydebank obliterated March 1941. My dad was 3 and a half years old, and seeing the tenement go as he was entering the air raid shelter is on of his earliest memories as a person.

My dad's family got evacuated to Coatbridge, it took them until 1956, to get back to Clydebank. My dad used to joke that his first flit was curtesy of Hitler's removal company.

Sturgeon shamed: 'Mound of waste' washes up outside COP event as leaders arrive in Glasgow

 

NICOLA STURGEON has been shamed for allowing Glasgow to be overrun with plastic waste as the city holds the COP26 climate summit.

Environmental campaigners have sounded the alarm bell on a "mound of floating plastic" seen on Glasgow's River Clyde this weekend. Startling photographs shared on Sunday appeared to show dozens of discarded bottles, plastic wrappers and footballs drifting on a makeshift barge of twigs and wood. The rubbish was said to be pooling around a ferry used by the organizers of The Extreme Hangout at COP26.

Biden staying at Dalmahoy, staying in the Vlad suite.  Heard there was dozens of snipers watching some terrible tee shots on the courses this morning.

Likewise. Family born and brought up in Govan, During the early war years before they were evacuated. Makes the joke a bit off is all I’m saying.

Biden said in his speech today that the USA had legacy issues that had to be addressed. Even he understands that in general those who have caused the least problems are often those likely to suffer the worst effects. They are also those who have benefitted least from fossil fuel burning. 

It's not about blame. Reparations are for everybody in the form of a healthy planet. There is a policy that the polluter should pay let's see them do it.

Heard some young activist on radio attempting to take WWF to o task for their record on indigenous peoples. Only problem was when challenged by WWF rep, she couldn't provide any examples and stuttered way through rest of interview.

Embarrassment of an interview.

 

 

[JimboJambo1874]

So prime ministers and presidents from across the globe fly to Glasgow for a climate summit. Oh the irony. Add to the that the fact that one of the key speakers is an 18 year girl, who will no doubt be desperate to share her many years of wisdom and you've got a bit of a circus. Par for the course these days. I'm not suggesting that the issue shouldn't be discussed, but I'm little tired of being preached to by the political and celebrity class who seem to operate on a do as I say not as I do basis.

Why are China not present? They are polluters in chief and yet they're absent. This on top of the fact they sat on the covid outbreak and try to cover it up, until it slipped the border and spread. Are the rest of the world going to hold them to account for anything? Add to the list, a variety of human rights abuses and we are dealing with a nation which is one of the most corrupt on the planet. Can they be approached with a firm but diplomatic tone? I hope so. The alternative is a very serious proposition.

I think China is actually "represented" in Glasgow - its just Xi thats hiding. Same with Russia apparently.    Its questionable how much authority their presence in Glasgow will have though.    Maybe Putin & Xi have just told them to "play for time" and don't agree to anything.

The USA is by some margin the biggest contributor to climate change per head of population. Not sure what Biden means by legacy issues but they have enough current issues to be going on with. The chances of American life styles changing enough to even bring the US in line with its nearest competitor Russia are remote in the extreme.

I saw a graph today with the the major players on it in terms of carbon per head of population. The USA is way in front with over 15, the EU was around 6, India was on 2.1, China around 8.

There’s to many people and not enough space so, anyone care to drop a solution or two for that one.  I know people scoff at the amount of money spent on space exploration but…….we’re flitting in about 200 years…….we’ll when I say we I mean the Kate Burleys & Joanna lumlays amongst us (the rich and privileged)

Interesting that as countries get richer the birth rate tends to drop off fairly quickly, there may well be a self correction.
