Climate changes are threatening humanity. Inaction by governments and a lack of media reporting on the issues surrounding climate are dangerous.
In the UK the government are doing something but it is weofully short of what is required and not fast enough. The science indicates that earth is on target for catastrophe unless we decarbonise now.
The UK is consistent with a global effort to limit warming to 1.5 degrees. However, Greta Thunberg has said that our reported 37 per cent reduction in emissions since 1990 was only 10 per cent when aviation, shipping, imports and exports were counted. She described reports of carbon emissions reductions as the result of "very creative" accounting. She said that the countries' pledge to produce net zero carbon emissions by 2050 is, "actually doing more harm than good" and that "It sends a signal that we can continue like this for I don't know how many more years - 20 more years - and that we can continue like now, which is not good."
