I really liked your quote “Moreover, by focusing mainly on carbon dioxide, other serious environmental problems have been neglected. It could be much more effective to pursue reasonable and necessary political measures: decarbonisation, pollution prevention, combating poverty and biodiversity loss, afforestation, energy savings, clean energy and adaptation. Merely fixating on binding ceilings can lead to self-delusion, interpreting emission reductions resulting from economic recession as a genuine achievement.” These climate zealots have made the world a worse place, and squandering trillions of dollars on their climate fiction have starved the world of the resources needed to solve real problems like tuberculosis and malaria. A pox on all their houses!
Thank you, wonderful to read about your experience. You have covered so many of the key points, logically, eloquently and efficiently. As a UK power engineer, who studied and trained in the 1970s, I feel frustrated that it has taken a quarter of a century to reach your conclusions. So much time, money and effort has been wasted in the pursuit of Net Zero. In the 1990s/early noughties I like many other power engineers supported a transition to nuclear generation away from coal (not to mention clean burn technologies for coal such as fluidised bed trials, which were never fully explored). However, hysterical environmental evangelists turned public opinion against nuclear power. Gas was seen as the path of least resistance (and cheaper) although not necessarily the best long term solution, but nevertheless politically expedient in the short term. What a complete and utter waste of livelihoods, resource and careers.
This is a historic turning point. The desecration of our natural world is not some far-off crisis. It is here, right now.
And the hardest hit are our children.
Polluted air compromises their developing lungs. Dirty water makes them sick. Destruction of the forests, the rivers, and the soil deprives them of a future of hope and opportunity. This is not a climate crisis or an environmental crisis.
It is a crisis of justice.
We believe it’s time the international community took seriously its commitment to protect the rights and futures of our kids… every child deserves to grow up healthy and prepared. When we cause damage to the ecosystems upon which future generations depend - when we allow, and even encourage, the ongoing destruction of our natural world - we violate that fundamental trust. here are the big actions we must take. Our governments need to invest in child health and sustainability.
Our communities need to embrace green energy, conservation, and circular economies. Each one of us has a role to play by choosing to reduce our own impact. Together we must form a mighty and sustained global movement that demands action.
Protecting the earth is not separate from protecting the future-it is essential to the futures of our kids.
It’s the most critical challenge to face mankind-now, before it is too late- and the greatest opportunity to re-create a sustainable and better world for our children… this is no time for delays. It is time for courage. Time for the international to come together and take meaningful action. Now is when we act.

Mankind has a tendency to overrate its own importance - one volcano is bigger than the best we can do.
