Millions of years ago the whole of northern Europe was covered in a miles thick layer of ice. What caused that to melt? Climate change of course and there were no Greta Thunbergs about then to blame man for this as there were no men about at that time, So who would she have blamed. The dinosaurs for eating too much greenery and releasing deathly gasses in to atmosphere?
No, We may be able to slow it down but change it? Never.
Living creatures living on this planet in the future will adapt, in spite of what the doom merchants are saying.

Scientists have said a slight tilt in the earth's axis over a hundred thousand years ago caused a massive change in the climate.
Has the earth's axis tilted again slightly? Should we call in Paddy and his scaffold gang to tilt it back again?
Two excellent posts Ben....
The eco warriors fail to realise the size of the planet compared to man's involvement on it. Sure there are many things we should be correcting such as the amount of waste we produce, especially plastic, the vast amount of the world's resources we are using at an ever increasing rate. If just oil ran out we would be in a serious situation, much of the mechanics of this world rely on oil.
There a few places where pollution is causing a serious threat to health, but they are local problems and just like London smog in the fifties, can soon be remedied by an adjustment to lifestyles. None of these things have any effect on climate.
Just one volcano can eject more pollution and CO2 in the atmosphere that man puts out in a year. At the time of writing there are over two hundred active volcanoes.
Donald Trump has access to some of the greatest scientists and research facilities in the world and between them they have seen through this massive con trick being thrust upon us by the media.
