Some interesting and relevant comments from the article:

Despite this bleak outlook, some do point out that the picture still looks far rosier than it did before the Paris deal, when a catastrophic temperature rise of 4C or more was foreseeable. Cheap and abundant clean energy is growing at a rapid pace, with peak oil demand expected by the end of this decade.

“Meetings like these are often perceived as talking shops,” said Alexander De Croo, the Belgian prime minister, at the Cop29 summit. “And yes, these strenuous negotiations are far from perfect. But if you compare climate policy now to a decade ago, we are in a different world.”

... every fraction of a degree is worth fighting for. If we can’t achieve 1.5C, it will be better to get 1.6C than 1.7C, which will be better than getting 2C or more.

That last one is particularly important, I think, as people can often be too quick to jump on the Doomer train and confidently state that as 1.5C is unachievable it's all pointless and we should just give up.

Don't forget you have to de-stone them as well.

Exactly what I was thinking!

As if that wank clown would even bother to turn up...

Shiny and chrome!!!

What does it say at the bottom? 'Haroc Be'?

Huh, well spotted!

How does it affect maintenance of the track? I'd have thought it would require more?

Poor trees :(

I don't see anything in the article mentioning the UK or France, only the US? Am I missing something?

Also, some of the comments to that article are... really something

I definitely don't want Ukraine a burden further upon my taxes, nor the council sticking up Ukrainian flags on civic buildings, daft totally. I'm not interested in Ukraine as part of EU, or NATO, not impressed with Zelensky and his begging bowl any further. Good riddance to him and his arrogance, should he ever be replaced.

Have you ever fired two guns whilst jumping through the air?

It's fashionable to have swords deflect up into my jugular!
