Climate scientists will tell you that the extent of old sea-ice is decreasing in the Arctic and instead we have new ice arriving in winter, but it quickly melts each year with a trend towards decreasing ice levels over time. There is absolutely no evidence to say that the world will end in 2040 I said by 2040 we may have triggered a tipping point and lose control of the climate. That is not the end of the world,but we will be unable to slow down an accelerating rate of sea level rise and within a couple of centuries seas could be as high as 10 metres above current levels. After my last post I did some calculations The idea of dealing with our emissions is a moral issue where we can’t expect developing countries to carry the can for our high per capita emissions. We are already the laughing stock of Asia and Europe and having a first world lifestyle but trying to weasel out of fixing our emissions suggests a childish level of leadership. The statistics you quote are a different issue, but all emissions add to the world’s total and on that basis we should be doing our bit. Consequently I would suggest you either give up what ever you do and go and blow any money you can lay your hands on before doomsday That is not a good look as an individual and also as a nation with so many resources available to make changes to a green economy that should also include nuclear technologies.
