If Ineos can sponsor a cycling team, and L’Oreal can teach kids about packaging waste, is it any wonder our compass is awry?

Being told to switch to a “low-carbon diet” is unbelievably patronising. More of us are eating less meat, but when we visit supermarkets we discover tons of unnecessary packaging, stores that are over-lit and over-heated and confusing recycling labelling on 90 per cent of the products on sale.

Thermostats should be set to 19C to help tackle climate change, Government advisers recommendThermostats should be set no higher than 19C, Government advisers have said as they set out plans to tackle climate change by encouraging people to lead green lifestyles. That’s no good if we’re going to address the “climate emergency” and get to zero emissions within 6 yrs. all gas boilers will have to be switched off - permanently - or replaced. We pay our bills. Do NOT dictate to us. The climate has a long history of changing. C02 is a trailing indicator, not leading, and is only 0.045% of atmospheric gases. Governments are lying to justify more control over people.

Opinion: Even if millions went vegan overnight, it wouldn’t make a dent in the fight against climate changeThe rise in industrial farming and meat consumption isn’t down to our changing tastes, but a product of massive investments by mega-powerful states and corporations Pennys add upto to Dollars Nope making more meat alternatives in more plastic packaging with soy shipped in from the rain forest and palm oil murdering primates sure isn't saving the planet from them... (More crap in plastic, and paper is just as bad) Would you bet your paycheck on a weather forecast for tomorrow? If not, then why should taxpayers stop eating meat and bet billions on climate change predictions that have even less foundation?

MPs make history by passing Commons motion to declare ‘environment and climate change emergency’Jeremy Corbyn calls for motion to ‘set off a wave of action from parliaments and governments around the globe’ Knowing this Parliament, it’s bound to be followed by decisive action. One story from Independent saying there is Climate Change Emergency. Then another story from Independent saying jet around the world for your July holiday. I'm confused This is just hot air, until there are firm guidelines in place. When you boil things down though, it is our economic system that is causing climate change. Until we change that, we have no hope of tackling the problem.

Why soil damage could lead to 'runaway' climate changeThere's three times more carbon in the soil than in the atmosphere - and deforestation is releasing it. “The International Year of Soils, 2015 (IYS 2015) was declared by the Sixty-eighth session of the United Nations General Assembly on December 20th, 2013 after recognizing December 5th as World Soil Day.” The UK government did nothing then. It’ll do nothing now. Is there any truth in feeding cows seaweed dramatically reduces carbon emissions into the air? If we plough all of the climate change bullshit in to the ground, this will improve the soil and world no end.
