#cop3O
It wasn’t a fair COP.
We needed a volcano of no-no,
an eruption of gumption.
We needed to stop being strategic egits.
We needed to sever that diabolical umbilical,
to stop being colossal fossil fools.
But they ignored the klaxoning climate scholars,
And yet another COP, became a robber.

Dumping on this scale was not just predictable, but predicted. It's the direct result of:
a. 15 years of austerity
b. Reining in and defunding the regulators at the behest of lobbyists.
But it makes you wonder: were the Tories lobbied by professional crime syndicates? Otherwise, why the hell ...?

This graphic shows the difference from the 1981-2010 baseline. Add about 0.60°C to get the anomaly above the 1850-1900 IPCC pre-industrial baseline.
In other words, an anomaly over pre-industrial above 1.80°C is likely in the next few days.

The collapse of the UK was hastened by Brexit, but it's been coming for a long time. Destroy the public sector and hand over water, energy etc to the profiteers. Then, as Starmer is doing, flog off the rest of the UK to billionaires. Started with Thatcher. It's called #Neoliberalism. Read this!
