As we are on track for 3 degrees of warming by 2100, what does it look like in the local area;

Looks like it will need a stud in 2100. Best get a pair of waders as well.
The link comes from this article about Lincolnshire being very vulnerable because it is low lying;

Not looking too clever, unless we start to get real on this!

Unfortunately it’s d**kheads like Trump that need to get real,

The temperature of the world has fluctuated since year dot.
I'm not convinced by global warming. I think a more pressing issue is population growth which is out of control. If there were less people it follows there would be less emmissions.
Also why is it so much fuss is made over vehicle emmissions but no-one ever mentions how much power it must take recharging mobile phones throughout the world.
To most people a car is essential whereas a phone is a toy.

Yes it’s always fluctuated, it’s nolonger fluctuating it’s just going up and up at an alarming rate.

Ah, I should've known Axholme Lion would be a climate change denier...

To be fair to him overpopulation is an issue.

I also believe the earth is flat unless you can prove otherwise... :)

Isn't that because the sun has gone to bed?

I always suspected the ancient Greeks were miles ahead of you.

The population growth rate is declining almost as fast as the absolute number of people is increasing.
It's a simplification to say that more people equals more emissions. We know that the wealthier emit more in terms of emissions than the poor. And the wealthier make up a very small percentage of the global population.
We've known since the Kyoto protocol that to even begin to address climate change you need to the two biggest emitters on board - China and USA. But the USA didn't sign up, and China was classified as a poor country at this time so didn't have binding targets. This has affected the geopolitics ever since.

I'm sure I read somewhere the other day that China is the largest producer of motor cars on Earth, most of which you would assume being for there massive internal market. It's all the cars in China and India with their massive growing middle class which are a growing problem.
