The  Con Merchants

Greenhouse gas emissions have been steadily rising since the first Kyoto summit. In 2013 we hit 6.9 percent growth in emissions, a record. We’re not only going in the wrong direction — we are accelerating in the wrong direction! The thing is; if 2 degrees C is extremely dangerous, 4 degrees C is absolutely catastrophic! So this is where our future leaves us: stuck between temperatures we can’t possibly accommodate, and carbon reduction pathways governments are unwilling to achieve.

What of the world’s major charities concern about Climate Change?  While Greenpeace travel the world looking for ever exotic places to do stunts so we think how clever they are, yet all the while using it as a pretext in sucking out money from your pockets.  

The Christmas WWF advert on the take is not too dissimilar. This time they have polar bears doing the stunts.  And the best bit is about eight penguins standing on a piece of ice looking lost, as if the ice will melt and they will all drown, so we must give money to stop the ice melting!

Is it me? If all the Climate Summits in the world cannot agree to prevent global warming, how can giving money to a fat, mega company to save penguins from their natural habitat (the sea) or stop idiots putting Greenpeace logo’s on national monuments, influence anything except their bank balances?  Are there people out there that stupid, or do they need that fluffy toy penguin that much? 

It is astounding, if not immoral as to the depths these ‘charities’ will sink to in a ploy to relieve you of your money!  Or do they rely on your ignorance, your guilt (that feel good factor) so you can carry on as usual without a conscience? 

Probably the latter.
