    Nice try but I don't think it's worked.

    I said nothing of the sort, but the net zero zealots here seem to be claiming that since we are importing oil and gas, then the pollution is not on our tab, or don't you understand that simple premise?

    If you are burning oil or gas, whether imported or not, then the pollution caused is definitely on your tab. Why should it not be?

    You haven't noticed then that hot dry weather and extreme weather are becoming much more frequent? Ask Simon Martin on this forum whether climate change is happening.

    Frequency of occurrence is not the same as specific causation of a single event.

    Weather events don't have a specific causation. Weather is a far more complicated phenomenon than that.

    Probably was much chance as expecting world leaders doing anything serious about climate change. What the world needs at this time a statesman of outstanding character, of integrity and charisma, able to inspire, lead and drive the world to take the problem seriously.
    Instead the world got Trump. There really is no hope.
