That funding's coming out of the existing Foreign Aid budget, is it not? If so, what's "crazy" about it? Surely financing renewable energy projects in the developing world is better than just handing over buckets of cash?

Climate Change is the biggest issue the world is going to be facing in the very near future. It's a fact, and huge companies, such as my own shambolic railway provider are going to be spending billions and billions on it. Pity those desperately poor countries that won't be able to afford to do the same.

I don't understand what this article's point is, if we only cut emissions in the UK then global warming will still happen. It sounds like 'foreign aid' has been tacked on to mislead people, stopping global warming aids everyone including our own country.

I would say that the point of the article is could British tax payers money be better spent if it doesn't change anything, ie China's huge Carbon foot print.

Yep it's better than handing over cash, but rem this is UK tax payers money and Gov is still making cuts here, so to me it's crazy.

I personally don't believe in Global Warming, there has always been climate change (ICE AGE etc)

UK tax payer money that's already been earmarked to be distributed internationally. Changing the destination doesn't change its source.

Yeah, only 95% of scientists around the globe believe global warming to be at least in part attributable to humans. What do they know?

Where do you get that 95% number from?

The Myth of the Climate Change '97%'

West Ham have already been given the Olympic stadium. Now Cameron is planning to give the ICF 6 Billion of taxpayers money. Not only is this outrageous it will surely make train travel on Match days highly dangerous

Nope, it's a fact. You can all post as many right wing articles you like or stick your head in the sand, but major companies such as NR are preparing for the rise in temperatures and increase in rainfall up to the next century.

The Myth of the Climate Change '97%'

I can't read the article because you need to sign in but the 97% figure is accurate as far as I know, and the actual myth is that the claim that the 97% figure is false. https://www.skepticalscience.com/global-warming-scientific-consensus.htm

This article directly debunks WSJ's claims, also pointing out the 2 authors of the piece have a financial interest in denying climate change exists. http://www.salon.com/2014/05/28/wsjs_shameful_climate_denial_the_scientific_consensus_is_not_a_myth/

Try this one then:

'97% Of Climate Scientists Agree' Is 100% Wrong

Ok, in retrospect I was wrong to say that it was a fact. However, all modelling done in this field (by groups such as the Met Office) suggests that up to 2100 temperatures will rise and rainfall will increase. To ignore this data and the trends you can take from it is foolish - but our Government is, and we're spending billions on a vanity rail project that will be too expensive for the vast majority of the country to use.

I was at a flooding conference last year, and the Farmers Union were angry that more is not being done to protect crops in low lying areas (East Anglia for example) from flooding. In the summer of 2012 we were dangerously close to losing our wheat crop and would have had to rely on foreign imports for our bread supply.

What a load of bull!

CC has been bandied around for year's by mad scientists,yet Britain is still bloody freezing most of the year.

Ice cap is melting,seas are rising,carbon gasses.

We are all doomed:dim:
