So these pumps, what fossil fuel are they using? How does it get to the north pole! Are these the same eejits that tell us Drax is net less than zero?

The earth is not stable, never has been and never will be.

But of course if theres cash slushing around someone will think they can control Nature.

Barm pots or greedy?

Climate has always been changing since forever. There's a lot of crooks fooling a lot of people and making billions in the process.

This might actually make it worse, salt water freezes at a lower temp, by pumping that on top of fresh water ice are they not making less ice in the long run?

Meanwhile in a parallel (but equally barmy) Universe, Saudi Arabia and South Africa study plans to tow icebergs South to ease their fresh water shortages.

excuse me sir !

I have a sequoia ( wellingtonia) growing in my garden - its mine - 50 tons of CO2 apparently. North Manchester

beloved of all the tree surgeons in Manch - they say

Perhaps I shouldn't have mentioned a barmy Universe.

'The fact that the UK produces less than 1 per cent of global carbon emissions means that even if it became carbon neutral overnight, it would have precisely no impact on global climate change. So the 765,000 people working in that sector are not only taking skilled labour away from sectors that are actually economically productive, but they are on a hiding to virtue-signalling nothing. They might as well be digging holes and filling them in again.'

Khandro, never mind net zero if we reduced to actual zero it would have zero effect. Only the big emmitters can really make a difference. China, India, USA. The rest of us might as well get our fiddles out.

[dave50]

Everyone working in that sector is a complete waste of space.

One shouldn't scoff, 'they' were right about the impending iceage in he 1960s.

Weren't they? 🙄

Job creation for lots of ologists and taxes for useless articles to spaff on nonsense.

[Spartypuss]

10.51 Youngmafbog, it's not the Earth that's unstable, but just the loons that inhabit it.

[tomus42]

It does just enough to counteract the nobheads that leave a light on or drive a bit faster to stick it to the greens.

Nobheads cancelling each other out is what we need more of.

[BoxAngle]

It does seem to be the climate activists version of snake oil!

[Hazi-Hammenuhoth]

More greenwash.
