Tell it to china , the united.states.and India. Like everything else; we can't do diddly squat about it. So, stop winning about this. Even if we stopped burning car fuel, stopped using every other thing; we will not make a.ripple in thus enormous problem.

I love the way these percentage figures are thrown around. How very American! Perhaps these overpaid members of international bodies will set an example for we peons by using sailing ships to travel to their high level meetings instead of using private jets burning aviation kerosene otherwise known as Jet A1 in their turbine engines. Politicians rarely talk about uncontrolled population growth as a contributor to increased consumption of fossil fuels. Instead they continue to carry on about living without basic resources required by the vast majority of humanity. Don't believe for one moment that the big oil companies will wean the world off of fossil fuels while they still have access to ever increasing oil deposits. When the youth of the USA was busy protesting against the Vietnam War wasn't it the late Richard Nixon who queried whether it would be possible to interest the young people in trying to save the California condor?

The thing is that the data for the past few years suggests that severe weather events have not increased throughout the world, notwithstanding that we did not have weather satellites until much after the 1960s, so the hurricanes in the mid Atlantic as last year and the years before that never made landfall would not have been taken in to account or even known existed, in the initial starting base!
A lot of flooding around the world is as a result of humans building and living on flood plains and of course deforestation.

Nobody is going to do anything about climate change. It would cost too much and interrupt to many economies. They "might" throw a couple million here and there to appear as if they're contributing.... look at Prince Charles, once he became king he didnt even show up to COP27. Noone is going to do anything. Look at the Bahamas the biggest hypocrite going wholesale after cryptocurrency while appearing at every international microphone available asking for help against climate. Has anyone at the ministry researched cryptocurrency and energy? Noone is going to do anything because climate change is "*air*", noone can touch it or feel it, and after one abnormal storm is over people forget. Money on the other hand is constantly making

The placement of this article, at the very bottom of the news page, as well as the high school level of comments below it, tells one everything they need to know about the future of The Bahamas. The mentality, of taking everything you can for yourself, while screwing those around you, and then blaming everyone else, is the perfect solution to the realities on the table. Good job Bahamas

You seem to have touched a nerve with bilingual RabidEater, I wonder why? Too much FauxNews viewing for him, perhaps?

Lost by your comment.

I know I've been hearing discussions about climate change most of my life, and from an online search amazingly the discussions have been going on for centuries way before our time, but according to history.com:

"*The early 1980s would mark a sharp increase in global temperatures. Many experts point to 1988 as a critical turning point when watershed events placed global warming in the spotlight*" -history.com

the one common factor over the course of those generational discussions: no country does anything significant...

If you wanted a subtle but almost earth shattering personification of that nothing it was the surprising absence of one of the greatest and most influential proponents, king Charles, from COP27, once he gained true power.

This isnt to say that climate change isnt real. I whole heartedly believe it is. From time to time I make a biblical reference not as a zealot but because it has some relevance even if you take it as "*just a fairy tale*" (which I dont)... if you want to see what climate change WILL do, just read revelations. *The earth will move off its axis, stars will fall, mountains will move out of their places.. and woe to those who live in the "isles*"... that's us on these tiny pieces of rock btw. But for the average money making power country this is and will always be "*air*". Closer to home if you want to know the Bahamas' true conviction on climate change, look at Ragged Island and go search for the fill from all the hills we cut and are cutting down..

you seriously believe this administration (or any prior) believes in climate change when they allowed someone to cut down an entire hill in Fox Hill a month ago? Everytime I drive past the thought goes through my head that that hill could have saved 1000 people

You may not like to hear it, but if we elect the leaders we've as always elected through the same process we've always used, the Bahamas will do nothing about climate change. To be honest I dont know if who we looking for exists

How do you know the educational level of those making comments? How obnoxious! I for one am a university graduate who is bilingual. Not everyone is convinced by the climate change Casandras. Research the great hurricane of 1780. The Bahamas cannot be classified as a large contributor to global pollution. Let you champagne socialists ride the donkey and allow the rest of us to have a little comfort.
