From the genius behind the Brexit negotiations. I can’t wait until there gone!

    “as more people die of cold than heat in this country”

    This is up there as one of the dumbest things I have ever read

    I don’t think he understands that the ocean currents that bring heat to Europe are shutting down.

        While the northern hemisphere will get significantly colder, and the southern hemisphere warmer, the collapsing of the AMOS also effects the wind. This would effect the trade winds and the polar vortex, so depending on how they rearranged, we may not get the Arctic blasts from the north and it just ends up being a bit colder.

        This is the apocalypse I’d prefer. Well, I’d prefer it if our governments actually took proper action but I’ve lost hope there.

          The models I’ve seen project at least 5°C drop in temperature for most of the UK if the AMOS fails. You may enjoy the summer a bit more but winters would be harsh if that comes to pass

            Even aside from the health impact of that, our infrastructure is not built to withstand that. Trains and roads are going to be even more fucked.

    What are the health benefits of entire countries becoming uninhabitable, and seeing Britain as somewhere they can send their entire population?

      Vulnerable people are much easier to exploit, so the more desperation the merrier! Health of the bank accounts of Tory donors is everything.

    What is he trying to distract you from. These sort of statements have only one reason that is to stop you looking at something worse. We all know that climate issues are going to be bad for all of us. this has no sense or reason.

    The wedge issue the left need to bang on about are climate migrants. Gotta stop those pesky migrants coming from the equator and global South by dealing with climate issues.
