    It wasn't from IKEA, I bought it on Amazon from a place called Mercer's Furniture. It's rubbish, you could build a better one out of match sticks.

      Totally fed up with all the waffle about climate change already, and there is 2 weeks of this going on in Glarrsgo, so the BBC says.

      I just wish they would put a similar effort into saving habitats for animals instead of all this.

              It has been reported that over 400 private jets, carrying leaders and business men/women to attend COP26.

              I actually don't see the point of this summit, I think they are only congregating there so they can discuss how to protect their lavish life styles.

              I was reading how UEFA and FIFA are trying to expand European and World football competitions to appease the wealthiest clubs. Before 1991 the European cup was a football tournament for the domestic league winners of 32 European Countries only, a total of 61 games was played. Today this stands at 211 games with 96 of those games being played at the group stage. In 2024 this tournament will be expanded again, there will be 180 games played at the group stage, this does not include all the qualifying and knock out stage games. FIFA want the world cup to be held every 2 years with more countries involved, more and more games = more and more flights, so the wealthiest clubs and nations earn more, whilst we are being told to do this and that to cut down on our carbon foot print.

              More games, more countries, more travel: Does European football care about its climate impact? - BBC Sport

                    The two things are closely linked, for example stop deforestation in the Amazon saves habitats and helps prevent more CO2 emissions from the area.

                      I'd like to agree there Nigel, but I don't think that will happen.
                      You can't keep increasing world population without more impact on the planet add to that the fact that standing forests don't produce any money and the pressure will always be there to cut them down.
                      It is perhaps all part of the same problem, but this is only a small part of our impact on the planet
                      Solving co2 is just kicking the can down the road, as they like to say these days, IMO.

                              Over 200 private jets brought the "climate concerned" politicians to COP26. Talk about not only being hypocrites but also pushing that fact in your face! Our idiot stood there and talked about eventually eliminating fossil fuel consumption. I guess that's because during the coldest days of winter, he is off to the Aga Khan's private island enjoying the sun and heat!
