Our Planetary environmental crisis.

The last four years shown on that chart are remarkably similar to the figures of around 40 years ago. Quite surprising.

Not really... oil and gas production is quite cyclic. Technology back then made only certain fields viable to exploit. Those reserves started to get low, that drove technology to be developed to exploit smaller, more difficult reserves, revenue recovers.

Do they talk within the industry of a time when gas and oil is no longer viable or needed or is it a case of ‘we can exploit that reserve when we need to’?

Shell's profits for the last quarter are £8bn

Or £3.6m an hour.

.... not as incredible as profits for the quarter immediately preceding that, it seems...

Fwiw I've been doing precisely that for a while now Monty ( I suspect you already knew), & it appears to me that no one is listening.

Sadly a lot of the latest Green Manifesto panders to the "benefits culture takers types", rather than putting the planet's needs ahead of all the cossetting. I try to reassure myself that this is simply a tactic to gain votes & therefore influence, but I'm not doing a very good job of that convincing.

Yes, I'm finding the Green Party is a very broad church

I joined the Green Party precisely because of its latest manifesto. It's now the only party that's calling for the renationalisation of water, transport and energy, plus proportional representation. Maybe the Lib Dems on PR, I've not checked.

[Kwacky]

We're still pushing for PR. And a return to Europe. And legalising cannabis

[Monty]

The Greens and the Lib Dems are the only parties that dare even mention re-joining the EU.

Starmer will do what he thinks the daily mail readers want him to do

The top tier of British politics is so bankrupt of ideas and has completely turned a blind eye to the problems the country faces over the next decade or so.

My wife volunteered in a local school to listen to very young kids read as they need one to one and the school has insufficient staff to do this. Turns out half the kids in this school are receiving what they call pupil premium to help the school with these kids who have extra needs. Yet they still need volunteers to have any chance of making any impact on these children's lives.

The country's infrastructure is collapsing yet all we hear from policy makers is about tax cuts. The country cannot afford tax cuts.
