    Excellent news, the sandal and white sock wearing brigade of Watford, Dartford and Braintree will be tearing up their copies of the Daily Mail in faux outrage.

    Most of the peaks in the Beacons already commonly use their Welsh names. Penyfan, Corn Du, Fan Y Big etc

    At least they aren't being changed to red.

    Think I’ll just call it the beacons as I always have, and I’ll go and watch Wales play football too…..

    A bit like Gabalfa, Llandaff and Llanedeyrn do?

    Fan Y Big, named after a Merthyr girl I think?

    The far right English gammon are going mental on Twitter, Farage being one. Absolutely wonderful to see.

    I quite like the new name, once I get used to the spelling

    I expect I will still call it the Brecon Beacons, but good point about the peaks already having Welsh names.

    This will greatly annoy some people for some reason

    The outrage itself has been worth the name change alone

    I quite like the Welsh name rebrands, if it makes the Country sound more interesting maybe it will bring in a few extra tourists if they can make it through the Brynglas Tunnel.

    I suppose when they pick up three speeding tickets per visit, they probably won't come back ever though?

    They can name it what they want but what has climate change got to do with it.

    Apparently the earth’s atmosphere is 0.04% CO2 up from 0.03% 20 years ago.

    “Tiny change in CO2”

    You reckon a 33% increase in 20 years is a tiny change?

    On those numbers yes , human activities are responsible for just 32 percent of that amount.

    the atmospheric co2 is currently about 420ppm, that's higher than at any time in the last 3 million years (since the Pliocene epoch), previously during an ice age it might go down to less than 200 and in an interglacial period it might increase to 250-300.
    man made emissions have had a massive impact on that in the last 200 years

    I was about to post the same, that's a massive amount

    That should help the cost of living impact .

    Next time you’re cooking add a third more salt than you normally would and see how insignificant the difference is.

    Apparently an eruption from a single volcano emits more CO² into the atmosphere than mankind in a decade. CO² necessary for plant growth as well isn’t it ?

    How many Uranium tipped missiles have been fired in the last twenty years. I may be wrong but I’m sure that’s going to impact the environment. I was wondering why Greta Thunberg hasn’t made an appearance in Ukraine yet.

    that is simply not true, the us geological survey estimate the totality of all land and submarine volcanoes emit between 0.13-0.44 gigatons of co2 annually, whereas heavy industry alone released 36.3 gigatons

    Nobody is an expert on this (and you have just copied a Twitter post ) but ultimately the renaming of the Brecon Beacons has nothing to do with climate change which is what the article suggested

    This guy probably does know a bit though

    Water is necessary for plant growth too. You can still kill plants with too much water.

    How much of that 0.04 % CO2 can be attributed to emissions from private aircraft used by Scientists, Politicians and Celebrities to attend meetings and events associated with Climate Change?

    On another platform it was said that a small decrease could be just as catastrophic, that said nobody appears to know what the “critical “ number is.
