The very latest predictions paint a challenging future for us and our hobby. Some would suggest grim even whilst others suggest that with intervention and a change to our habits all is not lost. What changes to our leisure pursuits and lives do folk think will make that difference for our future generations?

Majority?, I take it you too have empirical evidence of this majority you are in👍🏻😊. I am happy to hold my opinion based on my thoughts &  my conscience. I will not slavishly follow any train of thought. I will neither live a hedonistic lifestyle whilst denouncing the World for not renouncing their pleasures, that’s hypocrisy. So I will sleep easy yet keeping an eye on the climate as it changes constantly👍🏻😊

If the gulf stream turns off we will most certainly notice the difference. We are on the same latitude as Newfoundland, Hudsons Bay and the Kamchatka peninsular. Just imagine if were have their winters. I'm off to look for some more thick socks.

I think I would need more than thick socks. St Johns in Newfoundland is a similar latitude to Saint Nazaire in France, both coastal towns on the Atlantic. 

St Johns normal February weather, day -1C, night -9C, sea temp -1C. Brrrrrrrr....☃️

Saint Nazaire day 11C, night 3C, sea 9.6C. Still wouldn't fancy a dip though.😂

The arguments and tactics deployed by the climate change deniers  are straight out of the tobacco lobbies playbook, it would be funny if it wasn’t so serious.  

For me it would be much more convenient to believe that there is no such thing as man made climate change.   Life would be simpler but the balance of informed  opinion seems to point strongly that man made climate change is real and happening and maybe even if we had the will, it may already be too late.  

Let’s face it opinion without evidence is at best faith and at worst superstitious mumbo jumbo.

I take it the 195 countries add up to in excess of 3.721 billion people(7.442 billion people on planet Earth-2016).

PS-do every single one of the 195 countries agree with you JC😊.

my apologies as I’ll not be back for a while(real life calls☹️). Thankyou for your excellent input👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻😊

 I am sorry that holding an opposite view to yourself precludes your giving an explanation but I understand.

Btw I have never been warned by a mod, and I think your posts have also been Deleted User in the past?

PS you know using Wiki is not really on in academic research?

Far fewer supporters?, of course, I expect sniffy climatistas to not support anything that may cut off the ‘research bounty’, besides how can they possibly believe what has ‘happened’ to what has ‘not yet but may happen. . . .they think. . . .possibly’😊😊. The truth is it is conjecture, I’m of the ‘prove it beyond doubt & im on board’ mindset. We are none of us wrong or right, we  just have our own opinions👍🏻😊
