    Uninhabitable means unsuitable or unable to sustain life.

    It doesn't mean "it'll get a bit warmer or colder" but I suspect you understood that.

    Again you're trying to push your opinion by offering hugely extreme points of view that just aren't the reality.

    I was trying to simplify the concept for you. I don't think they are extreme and I would argue that the scientific consensus falls in line more with what I think than anything else offered on this thread.

    Human activity is destabilising our planetary equilibrium by destroying ecosystems and changing the climate. We are causing climate change by releasing exponentially increasing quantities of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, thereby warming the planet. Current rates of emissions (‘business as usual’) are projected to push the planet to at least 3°C of heating compared to pre-industrial baseline by the end of the century. Together with direct ecosystem damage from deforestation and pollution, this is having calamitous effects on ecosystems worldwide. Already today, with temperatures at 1.1°C–1.3°C above pre-industrial levels, we are witnessing loss of agricultural land, forests, and fisheries, as well as more frequent extreme weather events such as heat waves, wildfires, floods, droughts, and hurricanes. The near-term (within current lifetimes) projected results of business as usual include crop failures, water shortages, poverty and hunger, mass migration, and conflict (Masson-Delmotte et al., 2018). Rising sea levels threaten many coastal cities, which house around 10% of the world’s population (Hallegatte et al., 2013). Warming oceans are causing widespread loss of marine life, much of which is an important food source. We are undergoing a global collapse in biodiversity, including pollinators that we rely on for food production (Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services, 2019). The area of agriculturally productive land is shrinking (Mbow et al., 2019).

    Does that mean it isn't true now just because I posted a link to a website with quotes from so called experts?

    No it just means you're taking the piss because you like to be snarky and talk down to people when they disagree with you. I think it's pathetic personally but you spend your time how you want

    edit - I looked at the link you posted, it's complete crackpot shite.

    Ah, so your link is accurate and mine is nonsense despite both links having quotes and statistics provided by "experts"

    Funny that because it's exactly what someone with extreme views (on either side) would say, complete with the swearing and insults.

    well, I am currently in Dunvegan funnily enough, waiting for 5 a side at 7:30. Biblical rain that is horizontal, just now. But that’s weather, it’s interesting when you talk to older folk that have lived here all their life about recent (i mean 10 yrs plus) changes climatically. But i guess the worry is more for people at the extremes that may well be affected more than ourselves.

    The climate may be changing, it's about what we can/can't do about it, enjoy your game, wish I was there, at least you'll be midgeless....

    Only an extremist ‘crackpot’ would consider the following as ‘shite’:

    “Led by a Nobel Prize laureate, more than 1,100 scientists and scholars have signed a document declaring climate science is based more on personal beliefs and political agendas than sound, rigorous science.“

    The problem with yourself and all the other Greta’s and Oil haters of the world is that you’ve yet to grasp the fact that the mainstream media, ie the news which is universally accepted, is actually agenda driven and not driven by fact.

    Those on the left side of the political spectrum find it extremely difficult / virtually impossible to accept that what they’ve been told through supposed trusted channels / sources may not actually be what they presumed it to be. And therefore will defend the narrative to the death, ie Covid, Climate, Ukraine etc. It’s psychological manipulation and you’re not even aware of it.

    You really need to check the source of your quote and the money backing it. Oh, and maybe reflect on the qualifications of those signatories.

    Having done so myself I am happy to consider it 'shite'.

    It seems you find it easy to accept what you’ve been told through dubious channels / sources, believeing information which may not actually be what you presume it to be. And, therefore, you will defend the narrative to the death, e.g. COVID, Climate, Ukraine etc. It’s psychological manipulation and you’re not even aware of it.

    Yet we're more than happy to accept any quotes and links to newspapers such as the guardian or daily mail?

    Psychological manipulation you say?

    Lets get these lefty loons to come and glue themselves to Midland Road-that would solve the that issue in one fell swoop. Just leave them there fed and watered until the season has ended.

    I see the 'just stop oil' idiots jumped on snooker tables during World Snooker Championship and managed to throw orange paint on one of the tables.

    These people really need dealing with far more harshly than we have been doing.

    All this has nothing to do with snooker, horse racing, animal welfare, stopping oil, eating meat or drinking milk etc, it is just pure anarchism with the intention of changing the culture of the west, we are so weak, no one dares to step in because they would be punished more severely than the perpetrators, it will only get worse because we will allow it, we are all to blame ...
