I agree with that!It's just that we were hoping for so much more!

Yes, via the power of recallIf you dont vote you cant complain when they screw you over !
The system is all wrong , but it wont change as the turkeys wont vote for christmas.
The people need to have the power to sack their MP, between elections, If they fail to support their electorate. The current system has no solid threat to them or their pensions once elected.
Do the folks in power expect me to take climate change seriously, short answer is no i won't. Just done a completely random google
Does Poland still mine coal?
Poland also remains the largest producer of coal in the EU, and accounts for nearly 97 per cent of 'hard coal' mining in the entire bloc. Its schedule to close down its remaining mines is due to be completed only in 2049. In the EU, Poland is second only to Germany and Italy in terms of total annual emissions.27 Sept 2023. How the feck is the EU going to be carbon neutral by 2050 mean while over in India

Is there one for wales that would be a good control example as we have had labour in power in the assembly for ages?This is very sad. You might argue with the effectiveness or fairness of the way governments try to deal with the issue, but climate change is not a joke. Very far from it.
It is also sad that people believe that nothing changes, they are all the same, etc. You might not be impressed by Starmer, but I find it hard to imagine a different government could be as bad as this one.
NHS waiting lists - just one example of how governments change things:

What has changed is the increasing aging population, they have been kept alive longer in the past 20 years, which puts a tremendous strain on the health service. Keeping people alive doesn't keep them well.This is very sad. You might argue with the effectiveness or fairness of the way governments try to deal with the issue, but climate change is not a joke.

the current system of recall is too difficult to instigate. they have to be seriously bad boys and girls before the process even starts.Yes, via the power of recall
what you say is true. A friends daughter is close to completing her med training . Its expected expect that over 80% of her univrsity intake will move to work abroad as the pay and conditions outside the UK reflect the effort it took to qualify.What has changed is the increasing aging population, they have been kept alive longer in the past 20 years, which puts a tremendous strain on the health service. Keeping people alive doesn't keep them well.
Lack of staffing is another issue, we have more UK trained doctors and nurses you could poke a stick at in the health system over here in Australia. And even with a depleting population in the UK the populace seems averse to immigrants entering the country.
If global warming is a threat and if the change below is heading our way.... Will they cancel each other out will they both remain or neither?Returning to the original question about climate change. I think governments do know it is real and important. The problem is that in order to address the problem some unpopular decisions will need to be made. As a result they duck these questions because they are more interested in their popularity and remaining in power than trying to save the planet. The more unpopular the decisions the less likely a government is to take them. Hence, in Poland which has for a long time been heavily dependent on coal, nothing is done because it will be deeply unpopular. It will only be when the effects of climate change become so drastic and potentially destabilising that they will do something because the consequences of not doing anything will be less popular than doing something. Unfortunately, by that time we will be well and truly screwed!
The planet has been heating and cooling for billions of years. It’s a normal cycle. No need to ban cows and turf.Returning to the original question about climate change.

That's the spirit Clint.Now there's the truth! We ARE ALL DEFINITELY GOING TO DIE.
In the meantime I'm going to hold out working for the biggest sack of bastards as long as I can.
Along the way I shall thank whatever God is trending for my meagre existence and drink lots of beer and eat what I like.
I accept the point that this is not necessarily verified and so should be viewed with caution. However, I am a scientist and over the years have learned that scientists with expertise in a particular field usually speak something that approximates to the reality. The overwhelming consensus among climate scientists is that we are facing a considerable and damaging change in our climate that has its roots in human activity. Given the potential consequences of an irreversible change in the climate and the consensus that something along those lines is possible/likely, I think it is in our own interest and that of future generations to take this seriously and do what we can to ameliorate the situation and we should expect our Government to act similarly.Sorry,that's not factual,it's a scare mongering drawing for want of a better description. It's what could,might or might not happen.
Yeah,it's probably "based on trends". What ,as suggested ,does the trend look like going back 100 million years? After all we're not yet conditioned to drinking cows milk.
Like those' global warming ' news reels on "flooding "...where the houses are built on flood plains.
