ONE wonders whether David Davies MP is living on another planet with his claim that there is no problem with global warming.
Only two countries, the US and Syria have not signed the Paris Climate agreement which unites the rest of the world’s nations in trying to tackle climate change.
It is astonishing that David Davies MP ignores the fact that virtually all scientific studies point to increased temperatures since 1975. Land ice is melting and sea levels are rising.
It is now widely accepted by the scientific community that we have entered a new geological era, the
Anthropocene in which the earth’s climate is being radically altered by our actions creating a very different planet which may not be able to sustain human life.
Global warming, amplified by feedbacks from polar ice melt, methane release from permafrost and extensive fires, may become irreversible with catastrophic consequences for life on earth.
Urgent action is needed now! As for eating meat, David Davies MP should read “The Great Climate Robbery” (Grain) which explains how our industrial food system contributes to the climate crisis.
