An existential threat to the world, the health of your kids their kids, a threat to your home, flooded out, insurance too expensive. Food and clean water will increase in cost. Australia is in severe drought with wild fires here the US and Europe, peat fires in UK national parks. Erosion of coastline the list couldn't be more dramatic.http://theconversation.com/what-boris-johnsons-government-needs-to-do-to-show-it-is-serious-on-climate-change-128885
Thanks Padge. I was looking for a reason to do nothing and now you have provided it for me.Unfortunately though your attitude wont stop the ice caps melting. Which wont stop sea levels rising. Which wont stop a greater occurrence of flooding in low-level areas like Doncaster. Nor will it stop the rise in air pollution from noxious gases around our towns and cities - and the associated health problems they bring.In answer to Sydney's OP I reckon the answer is not very much. Seeing how some of their major donors are connected with the fossil fuel industry (worldwide) and thus responsible for climate change. Perhaps Padge knows them?https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/conservatives-general-election-campaign-fossil-fuel-climate-change-emergency-a9242016.htmlhttps://www.desmog.co.uk/2019/11/25/revealed-super-wealthy-tory-donors-ties-climate-science-denial-and-fossil-fuels
I'm not sure why people with such strong and dedicated to the cause views don't put into practise the principles they preach.https://medium.com/wedonthavetime/guest-blog-post-the-alarming-environmental-impact-of-the-internet-and-how-you-can-help-6ff892b8730d
Did you bp?I do whan I can where I can but responsibility for the direction of the country lies with the 'leader' to bring and implement policy the the country can folow that but bring it to a carbon neutral position. Its policy on renewables, mining, waste, transport etc that will decide the future.Think of it like the the head/s of the household if the head of the household drinks, smokes and gambles it's more than likely that the kids will too.

Sorry but I cant agree, responsibility is on everyone. If the leader jumped off a bridge you wouldn't follow.I think we all have a responsibility to think and act. I also think business has a huge responsibility to be sustainable.

The north sea doesn't belong to us Sporty.

There you go mate:Seabed ownership and rightsOwnership of the seabed and sovereign rightsThe seabed to 12 nautical miles is largely owned by the Crown and managed on its behalf by the Crown Estate Commissioners as is much of the foreshore. The remainder is in a mixture of public and private ownership.Beyond the 12 nautical mile limit the seabed is ownerless but various government bodies have sovereign rights over marine resources to the edge of the continental shelf and the 200 nautical mile limit (the exclusive economic zone). The Department for Energy and Climate Change have responsibility for oil and gas, and the Crown Estate for offshore wind.Under s 40 of the Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act 2006 public bodies such as the Crown Estate have a duty to have regard for the conservation of biodiversity in exercising their functions, which would include exercising their ownership function.The ownership of the UK’s marine fishing rights has not been confirmed by statute but under the common law is regarded as owned by the Crown on behalf of the public.LegislationUnited Nations Convention on the Laws of the Sea IIThe Crown Estate Act 1961The Continental Shelf Act 1964The Territorial Sea Act 1987

If so, I'll take the trouble to help you out, I said THE NORTH SEA. Or does the north sea only extend to twelve miles from our coast?
