General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

in 2029, when millions more are dying… climate refugees are overwhelming the shores… crops are failing… tropical insects are migrating north, 28 billion will seem like a great bargain… but then it’ll cost trillions
You think all that is going to happen in... five years?
already currently happening so yeah, it’ll all get much worse
It... already started?
Are you expecting an inflation rate of 111% in the next five years? 😂
They mean it would cost more because the problem has become bigger and more complicated because it wasn't addressed early
Yes, that part was obvious.
However hyperbolic misrepresentation doesn't help this argument. 😉
They're expecting nonlinearities as climate systems are more destabilised.
the price of prevention is more than the cost of a cure….
you’re awfully dense… maybe try a little harder to understand things that you don’t understand before responding with your ignorance.
My friend... Do the maths. It's not exactly difficult. 😂😂😂
wow, what an idiot
