I'm glad I'm not the only one that remembers being taught at school that an ice age was imminent, which in part will come true for the UK if the warming Gulf Stream influence wanes. Whilst the tales of complete environmental collapse may never truly arise, most of us will have noticed the difference being experience in our local weather patterns, This July had some of the warmest days since the record warmest days in 2006 and 2014, we certainly experienced a 6c increase for most days over the last highs, which is not insignificant. The days are also very much wetter, we se more rainy/overcast days than in the past, it evidenced by the increase in moss that covers our pathways and roofs not burning off as it used to in the summer.

The bit I struggle with if simply put carbon release is the bane of our climate, then why aren't we doing more (akin to Norway's proposal) of putting in infrastructure to capture it/scrub it from our environment and lock it away in the old oil fields/coal mines. Have large scrubbers (linked to a small nuclear reactor) effectively cleaning the air of carbon, base them on old coal mines site or pump out to abandoned oil fields and lock away the carbon.........might be more cost effective that the current trend of reinventing the wheel and throwing existing infrastructure away. Means that you might over time be able to balance the carbon content to maximise the economy and food production.....or is it me?
