FGS please can someone sit all these politicians down and tell them that we cannot make any difference to world emmissions no matter what we do. Now the PM has just committed us to penury trying.

Potty!

[jackthehat]

He'll miss the targets by a mile and embarrass himself (and the UK) by doing so.

I do wish the grown-ups could be put back in charge of everything...

This whole emmissions thing reminds me of a a star trek episode, "The Naked Time". The crew contract a virus that has a similar effect to alcohol that gives them hopelessly poor  judgement. In our case I think the whole political spectrum has contracted it.

I am a bad person. I read TTT's joyful (gleeful even) indictment of the present administration ( can I rename it "gladministration" to incite the usual suspects?)

and I thought : ommitted has  only one 'm'

I wonder if the Chinese representative at this hot-air talking shindig got a real scolding from the rest of the eejits there?Not likely.

Apparently, according to the ridiculous Ed Miliband, the UK has to set an example to the rest of the world.  Why us? As if anyone else is going to follow this lunacy. Why do our politicians always think we have to take the lead? Let someone else go first for a change and see how it affects them, then we might follow.

Peoples opinion change like the (weather.) PP 15.50

[Cloverjo]

What's the point of putting an arbitrary number on the target? 
I despair! And I voted for these people.

[ToraToraTora]

...at least you have the bottle to own up cleverjo!

[tommy39]

starmer now says that poorer countries need monetary help to deal with climate change,that money is our money

[ToraToraTora]

17:27 ...yep £11.6bn pledged so far.....

[mushroom25]

what do you suppose The Taliban will do with their share of this handout?

[tomus42]

As I said on the other thread, it's not about the climate it's about energy.

It's no real surprise that the countries sitting on shirloads of carbon products are the ones not particularly enthusiastic about the whole GOP thing.

tomus: "As I said on the other thread, it's not about the climate it's about energy." - as I said on the other thread that's rowlocks. See my answers on that thread.

[tomus42]

It's not rowlocks though is it. It's just something that disagrees with your rowlocks. Perlease.

[ToraToraTora]

It is rowlocks fossil fuels are adundant to us. Have a think me old china.

[youngmafbog]

It is Rowloks Tomus, we have plenty of energy.  But Two Tier has cancelled the drilling and wont frack.  We are also not mining the coal that is now viable.
