Re: South Africa strikes historic R130bn deal with rich countries to move away from coal
The climate is changing. It has always been changing. We go through cold periods, and hot periods. This has always been the case.
How big of an impact humans have is still debatable.
But I think one thing most people can agree on, is that we need to stop polluting, and clean up as best we can.
That is why I appreciate and support initiatives like the Ocean Cleanup Project. They have barges placed in large rivers to catch plastics and other objects before they reach the oceans. The also have a system to remove plastics from the great Pacific Garbage patch. Whether it will be cleaned in our lifetime is unlikely, but it is a start.

It’s got fuckall to do with saving the planet and all to do with money amd taxes and dont forget control. The earths climate has been changing from the day it was molten rock. In human history there have been about 8 years ice ages. The carbon boom resulted in a boom in a pant life that accelerated the growth of other live. 30 yea back they said by the year 2000 New York would be under water and most coastal cities too. The poplar bears extinct and other doom and gloom. Fact is fossil fuels are key to growth and if you want to make a real difference don’t replace them with “green” energy options replace them with Nuclear energy. Nuclear has much less of a negative impact than solar & wind but it’s been demonised so unless the Greta Thurnburgs of the world start to advocate for nuclear you. Can bet your bottom dollar it’s all about control and and money and making you fearful and not saving the planet

Re: South Africa strikes historic R130bn deal with rich countries to move away from coal
Well I do think that Pfizer's new drug which is taken with an existing anti retroviral is definitely not a clever placebo or another existing drug in disguise and is therefore the reason why it is 89% effective, so now we don't have to take booster shots. And to get that add on drug just right required so much trials and research, it really proved all the ivermectin advocates wrong. And also it's silly to think that available existing treatments were blocked causing the deaths of so many. Hail Pfizer!

One can only marvel at the sheer stupidity of these first world nations.
Africa is a black hole, it doesn’t matter what you throw at it you never get anything back.

You picked that up from the posts? Interesting. The 'movement' is largely the domain of rich westerners with relatively vast wealth and commensurate impacts on the consumption of resources. Very few people who have lectured me about 'human induced' climate change don't have a Macmansion, a nice shiny new car or two and bunch of kids in tow. The vast majority of the worlds population are as interested in the topic as they are in your pronouns.

Re: South Africa strikes historic R130bn deal with rich countries to move away from coal
Unfortunately, most people don't want practical solutions. They want to scream into the void about how something must be done, by someone else. As long as they can be seen "doing something", everything is OK. But getting down and actually doing it, nah.
That is why I said, no matter where you stand, we should be able to agree that it is bad for mines and factories to dump their waste in rivers and oceans. It is bad for them to spew crap into the air, and it is bad for people to dump their waste into rivers and oceans. If we can stop this, and clean up the mess already made, the world would be a much better place.
