I'm going to upset a few people with this one...
The climate is changing. It always has!
But I don't believe we're facing a man-made climate crisis. I believe we're being sold one.
Earth has gone through ice ages, warm periods and times with no polar ice caps long before humans were driving cars. CO₂ makes up around 0.04% of our atmosphere, and the UK's contribution to global emissions is tiny.
Should we stop polluting? Absolutely.
Should we be handing governments more power, more taxes and more control over our lives in the name of "saving the planet"?
Absolutely not.
Watch the video before you tell me I'm wrong.
Fuck off back to your 16 bathroom mansion via your friends private jet. The hypocrisy here is stunning. Real world people don’t give two shits about this champagne socialist giving an eco lecture.

This level of heat isn’t normal.
Not only is it not normal for this time of year but it’s not normal even at the peak of summer.
100’s of heat records broken across NW Europe.
And yet.. every decade we see the heat ramping up further. Climate change is already here.

The contempt some people have for children is grotesque.
Entitled boomers not content with burning the future for their grandkids, they first want to watch them pass out from heat exhaustion at school.
Do you believe Prince William would strengthen the British monarchy and help it thrive in the future, or do you think he could take it in the wrong direction? 👑🇬🇧

B) He would take it in the wrong direction 👎
What’s your view? 🤔👇
@UniofOxford Above all, the fact is that we are not prepared for this—neither in terms of infrastructure nor in terms of our way of life, and certainly not in terms of the way we practice agriculture.
