Are in Manchester today

Might pop down at lunchtime 

Wonder if they’ll take their plastic bottles home with them?

Not very scientific - but I can't remember many January's where you can walk around in a t shirt at night.

I don’t think we need science to see it pal we can see it and feel it it’s happening and it needs addressing. It’s just how and can we do enough to stop it and start to reverse it. I’m not sure

Leaves coming out on hawthorns behind my house. Saw similar a few years back up harwood, but it was a single bush, and a couple of leaves- an anomaly. This seems slightly more wide spread.

We all know its happening, but fuck knows what we do to stop it

Two outcomes. Somebody cracks fusion reactor sharpish and massive investment into co2  recovery or the dolphins and cockroaches have a good laugh dreckly 

Prophets of doom.

It's 30 miles away tbf

Like comparing Manchester airport to rivvy pike

City centres always that bit warmer.

Factual records prove the point; it's getting warmer.

It is, no doubt, prem 5’s last night or power league whatever it’s called, the temp indicator said 14 deg at 7pm , kids at football taking hoodies, snoods and underwarmers off. 

However, that’s weather , I’m sure it was said that climate change would make our part of the world colder , due to oceans warming shifting the route of the Gulf Stream , so would expect to see more severe frosts and cold weather in the years to come

That warm, eh

Wow

I'd have been playing in shirt and shorts in the 70s

Aye, so would most, but these are young and come wrapped up like they’re going skiing some weeks, last night it was noticeable that they were too warm in their “ winter gear” and it’s still, or was, January

That's one theory, certainly.

They also reckon we're in for wetter, windier, more stormy weather as a result of more energy in the atmosphere. This does seem to be happening.

Maybe the changes to the north Atlantic conveyor may be slower.

We urgently need some cold temperatures though to slow down budding.

Yes, to be honest I think the wet and windier is a prelude to more severe temp drop in the same theory, shifting of the stream bringing it, which will eventually move south and bring that to France Spain etc, while we above the line get the colder temps.

who knows, but it is certainly changing and previous predictions of frequent severe weather events coming true 

A new skiing industry up Rivvi?

If they do it right, folk could slide all the way to to match!

mind boggling but yet again an indicator of what is wrong with our society and how we are driven not by a desire to make things better but by a desire to moan and follow  like sheep

Disagree - there's a place for both of them. One in raising awareness and putting climate change front and centre - and the other one for looking for a technical solution to environmental damage (albeit not to climate change). Could do with a couple of million of each. Maybe then we'd get somewhere.

You misundertand my point. 
I’m all for the raising of the issue of climate change to the front and center of our thoughts. But for her to have all the publicity and someone who has actually done something tangible to create positive change to go relatively unnoticed. 
 

she will become a multi millionaire. He will fade into insignificance. As I said it’s everything that’s wrong with modern society.

All about knowing people isn't it mate, and we all know who that Swede/cabbage is friends with 😉

There's certainly a strong cause for the media getting right behind these positive stories like this chap.

Too easy to push the doom and gloom. People need to see practical examples that can make a real difference and get behind.

Similarly, government overtly supporting such endeavours. No reason they can't become central to the economy.

Also does he want the limelight?

I had heard of him before and his invention is genius stuff.

Thunberg might rub people the wrong way but she's definitely got the message out there.

The media have latched on to her because she generates controversy and this get the precious clicks on their websites.

There's a reason people like piers Morgan and Robbie savage have careers in the media. It's not because they have any real input to add to any discussion just that they know what to say to get the listeners/viewers/readers worked up.
