I guess the climate change problem is too big a problem..so may as well not worry about it. Fuck it.

Send King Charles. He gives a shit, and will send a signal to the world that we are still taking it seriously (even if we aren't).

It's way too late anyway, unless we more or less stop producing anything (immediately) that's not needed to sustain life and even then it probably isn't enough.

Yeah, fuck it. Will drive into work tomorrow, fed up with cycling in the pissing rain.

I am cynical as well but that doesnt stop me trying my best. This is best in a different thread of its own but Big Oil are funding research into technocratic methods to geoengineer the climate. For them they won't have to hit Net Zero.

On the climate change point, has anyone noticed how unseasonably warm it still is? It is nearly November and I could have got away with walking around in a t-shirt and shorts this evening.

Aye, it's warm right enough! For once I'm not complaining, given how expensive it is to heat my flat at the moment - although I realise that's a pretty selfish point of view!

[Zoo Music Girl]

We haven't had the heating on yet this season. Feel like that's unusual.

The Question Time crowd do not seem to like Lucy Frazer (?), the Tory MP… Armando Iannuci cutting through the nonsense from all other guests (hi, Julia Hartley-Brewer) with intelligence and wit.

Couple of big mistakes early in his time in office … copping out of kop , and Suella … wonder how much leeway he gets with electorate … and how long before opinion turns and thinks he’s another Boris bullshitter ?

quite big maybe...not sure many people actually give a shit about cop, and I reckon suella will be out if she makes one more fuck up...and then the right will lose their flagbearer in the cabinet.

Environmental issues regularly comes out as the top issue for voters in polling, it’s a much more important issue than stuff like immigration or asylum.

Remember a couple of days ago I pointed out that Sunak’s decent personal polling was due to remain, LD/Lab voters? Well slipping things like COP will have an impact on those voters and his rating could then started to decline.

Didn't you criticise Truss for attending the UN assembly? But I think you are right. Not attending cop at least for one-day sends the wrong type of message on Climate Change

I did criticise her for it. I can see his reasons for not going but it doesn’t give off the best message especially with news today about him receiving donations from fossil fuel firms.
