Yes, nothing natural about this climate change. The rate of warming, is far far faster than anything that has happened before. The danger is by the we all time we all realise and agree somthing drastic needs doing, it might be out of control whatever we do. That point might have passed already, but doesn't mean we shouldn't try or ignore the issue, and concentrate on insignificant things like making the rich richer, border walls and Brexit.
If it was me I'd make all public transport free and double tax on private transport. Also not trade with any country ignoring the issue. Lots won't agree, but it requires drastic measures. If only we were part of some Union that acts together we'd have a lot more impact...
Wake up folks, this is the no1 issue facing us all, but you wouldn't know it.
