    Climate change extremists

    This group called "extinction rebellion" got on the track after the start of the race

    ‘Lives at risk at British Grand Prix,’ say police after intelligence about protests | British Grand Prix | The Guardian

    Here are they are on the track. This is after the green flag was dropped.

    The media is actually playing cover for them. Its not easy to find a headline that says they went on the track. Nor is there any pictures. I had to find this on Twitter

    Do you reject climate change theory, skid?

    Why do you consider this seemingly trivial pile of tripe so important?

    So you think it is ok for extremists to go around blocking trains, bridges and disrupt sporting events ?

    "For any youth wrestling with climate grief, climate anger, climate anxiety, or climate depression, it's empowering to know that meaningful action is as simple as a lentil in your hand and the cool evening breeze in your hair as you locate the next death-mobile to disarm. No violence, no property damage—just direct and joyful action, and the radical power of inconvenience."


    Idiots!

    ‘Soon it will be unrecognisable’: total climate meltdown cannot be stopped, says expertGlobe with steam rising from it. North and South America in view.

    Blistering heatwaves are just the start. We must accept how bad things are before we can head off global catastrophe, according to a leading UK scientist


    The publication of Bill McGuire’s latest book, Hothouse Earth, could not be more timely. Appearing in the shops this week, it will be perused by sweltering customers who have just endured record high temperatures across the UK and now face the prospect of weeks of drought to add to their discomfort.


    And this is just the beginning, insists McGuire, who is emeritus professor of geophysical and climate hazards at University College London. As he makes clear in his uncompromising depiction of the coming climatic catastrophe, we have – for far too long – ignored explicit warnings that rising carbon emissions are dangerously heating the Earth. Now we are going to pay the price for our complacency in the form of storms, floods, droughts and heatwaves that will easily surpass current extremes.


    The crucial point, he argues, is that there is now no chance of us avoiding a perilous, all-pervasive climate breakdown. We have passed the point of no return and can expect a future in which lethal heatwaves and temperatures in excess of 50C (120F) are common in the tropics; where summers at temperate latitudes will invariably be baking hot, and where our oceans are destined to become warm and acidic. “A child born in 2020 will face a far more hostile world that its grandparents did,” McGuire insists.


    In this respect, the volcanologist, who was also a member of the UK government’s Natural Hazard Working Group, takes an extreme position. Most other climate experts still maintain we have time left, although not very much, to bring about meaningful reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. A rapid drive to net zero and the halting of global warming is still within our grasp, they say.


    Such claims are dismissed by McGuire. “I know a lot of people working in climate science who say one thing in public but a very different thing in private. In confidence, they are all much more scared about the future we face, but they won’t admit that in public. I call this climate appeasement and I believe it only makes things worse. The world needs to know how bad things are going to get before we can hope to start to tackle the crisis.”


    McGuire finished writing Hothouse Earth at the end of 2021. He includes many of the record high temperatures that had just afflicted the planet, including extremes that had struck the UK. A few months after he completed his manuscript, and as publication loomed, he found that many of those records had already been broken. “That is the trouble with writing a book about climate breakdown,” says McGuire. “By the time it is published it is already out of date. That is how fast things are moving.”
