Brexit ruined Britain. If you’re still supporting it, you’re simply a fucking retard. That is all.

There are a lot of idiots online. Here's one of them.
That’s the final nail in the coffin. RIP Net Zero!

Replying to @paulg
Sadly, Paul, it’s only going to get worse. For every degree the planet warms, the atmosphere holds 7% more moisture, which is why rainfall is increasing all over the world. Lots of Morocco and Portugal are underwater at the moment. Unfortunately, because we haven’t listened to scientists or acted on their urgent warnings, the future isn’t what people think it is. youtu.be/2Jq23mSDh9U?si=tFYc… ox.ac.uk/news/2021-08-09-oxf…

State of emergency in Portugal because of extreme rainfall. Extreme weather across Europe and north Africa. The media do their best to never ever mention climate change despite 2025 being the third hottest year ever recorded on Earth. They have put us all in huge danger. It can only get worse.

Build some fucking batteries then you stupid cunt.
California has built one of the largest solar fleets in the world. Panels are strewn across deserts, rooftops and valleys, costing taxpayers billions of dollars. It was promised as the power of the future. Then the duck curve hit. Solar floods the grid during the height of the day, far more than California can use, so operators are forced to dump gigawatts of power. Then the sun sets and solar output collapses to zero, just as evening demand spikes. California then scrambles to fire up gas plants to keep the lights on,with billions more spent on this backup generation. The world's solar capital ends every day running on fossil fuels. A 24-7 gas grid would cost far less to construct and maintain than solar, and it would actually work 24-7.

Whether its gross inequality or equality Fact remains that the human imprint on the biosphere is one of total destruction on land and sea What took billions of years to create is being annihilated in decades at ever faster rate

He's full of shit.
What makes the global warming theory impossible to falsify is that it can be used to explain anything. Hot? Climate change! Cold? Climate change! More snow? Climate change! Less snow? Climate change! More rain? Climate change! Less rain? Climate change! Hurricane? Climate change! This is a quasi-religion, not science.

It's been all of 2025 and it's going to continue. Welcome to the climate change tipping point @volcaholic1
Pier and rail wall washed away in Teignmouth. Probably coincidence. This week we’ve seen - Two train crashes in Spain after unusually extreme rainfall, - a landslide in New Zealand buried people alive + killed 6 after RECORD BREAKING rain, - RECORD rainfall in Victoria, Australia , that washed cars into the sea, - cars washed away in Turkey, - the coast of Sicily smashed to pieces by a cyclone, - record-breaking heatwave in Australia - and now a likely record-breaking winter storm in the USA hitting now. All on the back of the 3rd hottest year ever recorded globally and the hottest year ever recorded in the UK. This is Climate Breakdown. Nothing to see here @bbcnews @skynews @lbc @telegraph @dailyexpress @thesun @gbnews

He's still a twat.
BREAKING: President Trump backtracks on his appalling comments re NATO forces in Afghanistan, but no apology.

They deserve everything they get for voting this twat in.
I have been briefed on the Record Cold Wave and Historic Winter Storm that will be hitting much of the United States this weekend. The Trump Administration is coordinating with State and Local Officials. FEMA is fully prepared to respond. Stay Safe and Stay Warm! President DJT

Climate change means extremes. Hotter heat waves. Colder cold snaps. Scientists explained this decades ago. The irony of mocking climate science during a historic climate event is almost impressive.
