Venice.I cant think of a single country where ocean front property does not command a premium. Have you got any examples of where that would not be the case?

But we do adapt - we now have millions living in some of the most inhospitable places on the planet. For example take the Persian Gulf - it used to be just sand and a few tribesman pearl diving and herding camels due to its climate. Now it has great cities full of millions of people living and working and surviving the harsh climate. If we can make a bit of sand that gets to 50c hospitable and livable then coping with an increase of 1 or 2 degrees should be feasible.
If we have a population of people who think like this, it's no wonder we're screwed
An increase of 1 or 2 degrees doesn't mean "let's just turn the air con up a bit and we'll be fine"
The spiders are out building their webs, and catching insects on them.Last Saturday on the Golf course I saw three trees with Blossom on them.
We shouldn't try and stop the natural climate change that our planet continues to cycle through, but we shouldn't skew and speed up that cycle either.Well as you aint going to stop temperature rising then you either use technology to mitigate the effects or you die...
I don't think that's quite what he meant.If we have a population of people who think like this, it's no wonder we're screwed

Assuming warming is limited to say 2 degrees, then we can expect two phases in climate change: a period of adjustment and then a settlement into a new pattern of global climate....
Be honest, we don't want things to get colder for many reasons.
Perhaps for the UK anyway, a few degree's would not be generally a bad thing.
Esp for those more up north.

Or more of that tinfoil Soros bull from you, conspiracy boyMore bull from another of scrotum face's backed activist groups out to stop real information being reported. We will soon have no discussion allowed and carbon tax just forced on us, for the planet's sake.
Why is YouTube Broadcasting Climate Misinformation to Millions?
YouTube is driving its users to climate misinformation and the world’s most trusted brands are paying for itsecure.avaaz.org

I don't think we do.I like this 'we'.
If you want to make a significant difference to mankinds influence on climate change you are going to have to tell 3 billion Chinese and Indians that they cannot have economic growth to give the same level of lifestyle as those in the West - which would be rather ironic coming from someone on a website dedicated to expensive electronics and big boys toys.
You're more than balanced out by people who'd rather "buy something they don't need, rather than leaving it in the shop" unfortunately.Even now I'd rather eat something I don't need, rather than throwing it away.
I don't think we do.
We need to stop waste and gluttony.
Buy and consume what we need, replace when things break or ware out, all quite simple things.
We tend to throw away vast amounts of food, some of which has been transported half way across the world.
We live in a throw away culture where we update too frequently.
How many animals per year are raised, slaughtered and then thrown away uneaten? I shudder to think.
The list almost endless
And most electronics sent for recycling just goes abroad then into landfill.I do agree with what you say here - but given the general appetite for the latest Iphone every year and the latest 4k (8k?) TV with surround sound then I think you are on a losing battle on this forum.
Also, if we in the West didnt have the consumer lifestyle then millions in the developing world wouldn't get the chance to lift themselves out of poverty.
First question - assuming recyclable plastic packaging is practical with people pay extra for it?
Second question - with global manufacturing, can we be certain the plastic marked as recyclable actually is?
