Surely the climate has always changed and always will

The UK has been warmer in the past and colder. Again it will no doubt be both in the future.
We cant comprehend the timescales involved in such changes , our simplified view that we can actually make a difference is flawed.
Making us drink a milkshake with a paper straw is just virtue signalling.
If man made climate change is such a big issue, well China , India and emerging economies are the ones who dont give a f**k.

Equally crisis drives innovation and change , some spots on the planet get less favourable weather , other areas become more favourable.

The climate 'alarm' has been rung our entire life , sea levels haven't risen , mass extinction hasn't happened while billions has been spent and ultimately made some people rich.

The Costa Del Yarmouth needs a little sunshine , bring it on.
Who needs penguins anyway?
