Actually by the looks of it that's exactly what this job is - a part-time post to do the admin for the scientists working on blue carbon options.

katastophe Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Has the IOM climate emergency been cancelled yet or do we stay in a state of emergency ad finitum? 1000's of bikes, a steam railway and the Red Arrows don't appear to tie in with definition of the state of emergency 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2112 Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Much back slapping and dick waving by CM Cannan, and trumpeted by the NPM, newspaper and media, that the Isle of Man has been tagged on legally to the Paris Climate Change Treaty, which the UK, USA, EU and other world powers agreed to cut greenhouse emissions by 2030. The IOM wanted to be included, it’s got its wish. When it breaches I hope it takes the consequences. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CallMeCurious Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Wait until you get the carbon tax trade wars... where countries who've set less ambitious targets than say Germany who raise an import tarrif against developing nations to offset the impact of importing a 'dirtier' products and materials on CO2 levels . Meanwhile developing nations take the view that developed nations are pulling up the drawbridge after they got away with decades of unregulated CO2 production to fuel their growth and are now penalizing other nations trying to catch up to the same standard of living.

hissingsid Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 Germany are still going to produce petrol driven cars past the given date, given the two fingered salute and everyone has excepted this. These dates are a moveable feast at best and virtue signalling at worst. Meanwhile the people who care are still trying to work out how to put bottles in a recycling bin quietly. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the list of fires, boilers etc that are classed as not fossil fuel burners/boilers. Makes the whole exercise look laughable unless I've read it wrong.

Even the netzero zealots are back tracking on the burning trees is good claim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
