Getting your own house in order first before solving world problems? The world is a very small place and the effects of climate change are everywhere. Its impossible for science to predict the precise effects as its new territory and science can rely of mathematical models but also needs time for observation and evidence. However all the scientific evidence is already coming in with the detrimental effects that climate change is causing. HEAT MAP SHOWS CLEAR TREND IN GLOBAL TEMPERATURE CHANGE Sometimes it’s hard to get a clear grasp on just how much the climate has changed and where we sit now, compared to the climate of the past. With the last nine years all appearing in the top ten hottest years ever recorded, we’ve put the last 143 years into context in this heatmap to show global temperature over time. https://www.climatecouncil.org.au/resources/heat-map-clear-trend-global-temperature-change/ Human Activity Is the Cause of Increased Greenhouse Gas Concentrations. Over the last century, burning of fossil fuels like coal and oil has increased the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2). This increase happens because the coal or oil burning process combines carbon with oxygen in the air to make CO2. https://climate.nasa.gov/causes/ Science and direct evidence already tells us what happens to plant life when a greenhouse gets too hot.

Russia cuts off gas exports to Europe via Nord Stream indefinitely

The UK would be the first back in 2014 UK says world needs to cut dependence on Russian gas, calls for G7 action Energy Secretary Ed Davey said Britain would use the meeting to promote a global plan for developing alternative energy sources and supply networks to try to curb Russia’s ability to wield its gas reserves as a geopolitical tool. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-britain-russia-energy-idUSBREA3L0KA20140422 -
Not really Impossible to make specific and precise predictions but......................................

How Pakistan floods are linked to climate change The science linking climate change and more intense monsoons is quite simple, global warming is making air and sea temperatures rise, leading to more evaporation, warmer air can hold more moisture, making monsoon rainfall more intense. But Pakistan has something else making it susceptible to climate change effects - its immense glaciers. The northern region is sometimes referred to as the 'third pole' - it contains more glacial ice than anywhere in the world outside of the polar regions. https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-62758811

Russia cuts off gas exports to Europe via Nord Stream indefinitely
Bkk Brian replied to Scott's topic in World News
Exporting large amounts of natural gas to non-European countries is not an option for Russia in the near term. Over 90% of Russia’s gas is transported by pipeline, and most of Russia’s pipelines connect to markets and refineries in Europe. -
Assault on Kiev: Russian helicopters swoop above Ukraine's capital
Bkk Brian replied to Chris.B's topic in The War in Ukraine
Stupid comments are a speciality of the Russians, another one is that the west supplying weapons prolongs the war, yet they are getting drones from Iran......lol -
Why would they offer it solely for covid 19? Here is what I said Here is the proof During the autumn and winter months everyone in the UK is advised to take a supplement of vitamin D every day to support general health. This advice is particularly important for people who have been shielding this year due to coronavirus (COVID-19), or who are living in care homes, because they are more likely to have been indoors over the spring and summer and so may not have been able to obtain enough vitamin D from sunlight. Women and children who qualify for the Healthy Start scheme can get free supplements containing vitamin D. Currently in the UK, free supplements of folic acid, vitamin C and D are available to low-income new or expecting parents as part of the UK’s Healthy Start scheme – a program similar to the UK Welfare Food Scheme, but for young families.
