What Happened To The Climate Emergency?

[Denton]

Has that mysteriously gone away? Never heard anything for weeks.

[Mamyalynne]

Nothing has gone away.

It's taken second fiddle to the health emergency. No mystery. It hasn't gone away.

Does seem that the huge decline in economic activity will likely lead to a short-term drop in emissions, though.

well it has in Wuhan
no smoke - no respiratoy industrial related deaths

My question was slightly Tongue-in-Cheek,for a little bit light relief.

It hasn't gone away. And it won't go away. Cos it's not man-made. It's just a phase in the life cycle of the planet. It warms up; it cools down.
I open the door and the flies swarm in.
I close the door and I'm sweatin' agin.
Life sure gets tedious don't it?

[emmie]

it has been put on the back burner, thank heavens

[fiction-factory]

^tedious, yes.
Of course some of it is man-made. Not all of it. But enough for us to need to do something about it. Show me someone with more science knowledge than you who doesn't believe we are making climate change worse / contributing to it and need to reduce our impact on the environment. The impact we have may be being overexaggerated by those who make a career out of climate change stories but the issue needs to continue to be addressed.

Well the airline industry is about to meet its zero carbon target.....so there is upside.

Climate Change, Eurovision Song Contest, H and M, every cloud has a silver lining.

[roopower]

A lot about the climate change on earlier. Surprising how quickly the atmosphere clears when things are turned off.

[TheDevil]

Brexit... when you take isolation to a whole nother level.
