I hope the Climate Activists are proud of the effect their lies are having on the younger generation

The basic premise of protect our planet by reducing our consumption of finite resources, reducing waste and sensible use of land and sea is good and defensible. Unfortunately this has been hijacked by the CO2 brigade 

I agree with this statement. Vested interest parties are all over this CO2 net zero 'big time'!!!

There is science of this going back many, many decades which has not been “hijacked” by anybody. Significant anthropogenic effects on the atmosphere have been known - I emphasise the word “known” - since the 1960's, starting with the ozone layer. An eminent colleague tells me about his relative, an eminent spectroscopist, who was concerned that the emissions which were affecting the ozone layer were actually doing greater damage through their absorption in the near infra-red.  I hazard a guess none of us were around for such discussions but that is where the greenhouse effect arose. 

Many, decades ago the planet was said to be cooling and proven wrong, truth is we barely understand the planet and how it works. Early days I'd say. So why scare the sh1t out of everyone and hold the world to ransom unless of course there's money and power to be gained, which is exactly what going on. I wonder when the world is going to wake up to this!
