I worry for the polar bears and all the animals that are affected by the climate.

I'm inclined to agree with fender, it's a natural phase.
I remember 76, just. It was fabulous to be a child then, but it felt nothing like this. Now the sun is like an oven or a flamethrower. It's a different feeling, oppressive, strange. I've noticed this in the last few years.

It's not just the UK, the hot countries have been getting hotter, the icecaps melting. The world can survive anything but humans can't. Surely we should be planning for the worst case?

Yes, that's true.

I reckon we already are, ...looking at other planets to inhabit. Of course, only the best will get to go.

To be fair, I think most of the wildfires are started by humans either deliberately or by a discarded cigarette.

Re: Global warming?

I know it's a purely hypothetical question, but given the choice, would you seriously want to leave the planet you're on?

I would love to. I know I would miss everything here but in theory, I would be up the front.

The way it is going, yes I would want to leave, but right now I don't feel ready to leave but then again I might not have a choice, I could be gone tomorrow!

I don't like what is happening in our world Annie
