I'm going to post something climate change related every day, just to get people to realise how serious this is.

It's not people you need to get to realise. It's the big companies that don't care if they're killing the world so long as they get a profit. www.wri.org/blog/2017/04/interactive-chart-explains-worlds-top-10-emitters-and-how-theyve-changed

Individuals can do bits but until the big polluters get on board nothing is going to change.

I agree with the previous poster. However much I did, it would be as nothing compared to the pollution/greenhouse gases and other crap pumped out by industry world wide. Sadly I don't think anything will change.

wa al gore right when he said there would be no artic ice cap by now?

Is that every single day ?

Fuck

Yes - the Camp Google summit has done wonders this week to highlight the appalling cost of climate change. Thank God for all of those celebs arriving in on 114 private jets, 4 mega yachts and roaring around in luxury cars to lecture us and make us aware of the changes we all need to make. Oh wait...

But what can we do op? I recycle, don’t buy single use plastic, don’t buy new clothes, use shampoo bars, compost and so on. I’m doing what I can on my limited budget. Even if everyone on mumsnet was doing the same would it be enough to offset what the huge companies are doing?

Good luck op. Everyone always has an excuse about why the extra special people they are are entitled to jump in their massive cars and jet off in planes. Usually it is "I'll stop when everyone else does". It'll be when everyone is having to evolve gills in a hurry, then.

You would be better off posting in the USAm China, India and all the other countries doing nothing and causing issues most of us here are doing our bit

Nothing to add, but that’s terrifying awful . We have fucked the planet entirely and knowingly. Shame on all of us.
