Hannah Ritchie says, " I don’t think it’s that historic to say: “OK, we’ve now decided that climate change is happening because of fossil fuels.” We knew this decades ago. "

She makes more sense by far, than Al Gore, John Kerry, or sailboat girl. But she is still wrong. The most pessimistic assessment by climatologists is that man is perhaps responsible for half of climate change. And even THAT is in doubt by experts.

And we have had a full half century of doomsdayers implying that climate change must necessarily be bad. Fifty years, and it is just now beginning to dawn on some people that climate change can be beneficial. We are coming out of an ice age. A mere ten thousand years ago, England was covered in ice, as was Canada and nearly half of the USA. Does anybody long for THOSE good old days?

..."the highest figure recorded in a non-pandemic year since the Second World War."

There have been no pandemic years since WW2. Data diggers dug up the numbers & crunched them. There are no instances of a 'pandemic' increasing all cause mortality since WW2. Viral pandemics are a myth. Or rather, a hoax:

I was going to ask for archive links to Telegraph articles like you used to, then I noticed that the first link is to the original article and the second is to the archive version! Not immediately obvious. Is that intentional? eg Under Climate Change, 'Net zero' links to the original (which I can't read) and 'more painful' links to the archive. Thanks.

Yep it's intentional. Archive links don't work for everyone apparently.

It's not so much the links as the Captcha that never seems suitably convinced I'm a human looking for the cars etc!

We have literal brains-in-a-vat now. We've scratched that off of our futurist bingo cards, so where are our freaking flying cars? ... Stuck in regulatory limbo, that's where, while meanwhile researchers are tinkering with human cells to make one of the darkest and dystopian tropes in all of sci-fi come true.

News of growing evidence of glyphosate harms is hardly surprising & another over-performing investment by Bill Gates. What a guy!
