Very disturbing, and the measures being taken are clearly completely inadequate - the European Commission reports that fossil fuels are vastly subsidised in the EU: the total in 2016 was €55 billion, an amount that isn't falling - and of this, almost €12 billion comes from the UK alone. David Cameron used to boast about the UK having "the greenest government ever," before deciding to "drop the green cr@p," and May's government has been no better.Then we see the really worrying thing, that the huge amount of methane in the Siberian permafrost will be released if the permafrost melts, and it's difficult to see what can be done about that. Profoundly depressing..
