So we have only 12 years to limit a climate change catastrophe! What do we do as a nation? Do a "Trump" and poo poo the warnings in the name of his "good old capitalist buddies" many of whom "screw the planet" for everything they can get because they've been traditionally doing it for "donkey's years"!? Or do we do something about it and view it as an opportunity to practise differently? In Scotland itself do businesses and communities "partner up" to seriously share this message together with the Scottish Environment Protection Agency? In other words, profitability has environmental pre-requisites attached to it. Indeed, perhaps Corbyn's "socialist solution" becomes not so far-fetched as many people in England seem to think it is. When one looks "closer to home" we are all culpable "to a degree" in the way that we "go about our business" in travelling, heating our homes, and generally trying to save energy and cut emissions. Of course, as a country our contribution to any "global action plan" is a mere "drop in the ocean" but there are many other serious global contributors to the same cause of limiting global warming to 1.5°C by 2030. However, other nations must be drawn in to a "united front", esp the ones who are practising negatively! Could there be environmental warfare in future years? If it suddenly becomes reality, IMO who knows where such a crisis could take us!! Maybe we should start by putting a stop to the deforestation of the rain forests in S America and SE Asia!?
