An end to all man made CO2 by 2030 or whatever it is means no industry in 9 years time. I read somewhere that volcanoes actually produce almost as much CO2 emisisons than humans - what we going to do about that? There's **** all we can do about volcanoes. There is a lot we can do to reduce human impact on the environment. I'm not saying there aren't flaws in their ideas as is. Even the mainstream parties ideas of banning petrol and diesel cars seem unworkable to me just now. **** trailing a 50ft power cable from your top floor flat to charge your car.

Don Dan Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Any way I have taken a small step towards helping the environment. I just had PV panels installed on the house. They certainly reduce the cost of electricity especially during the day but it has also reduced my bank balance by £7k ouch but I thought it was worth it. I’m thinking of adding a battery to it but that will cost another £5k wow Interesting I’m in Tenerife at the moment and a battery for the PV panels is £350 so I’m puzzled as to why a battery back in Scotland will cost me £5k not withstanding installation of the battery.

Although it was slightly out as it's worse. Social unrest and yes mass migration is predicted in less than 10 years. All due to climate changes. The only question is . Is it too late.

The biggest one ever (ice age and subsequent melting of the ice) was millions of years before humans took their first breath. The argument is that humas are not changing the climate. Potentially I would agree we may be speeding it up but this is many many thousands of years away. The eco warriors we see today are involved in a global scam imo.

Yer insects and flying ones especially just dont seem to be as prevalent. Have you driven recently in rural areas? Note the lack of road kill on your widows compared to years ago? All of this is related . And although small its effect on life is immense. The oceans micro life has a massive impact on our well being. You do believe that ? Since the world was formed about 4.5 billion years ago there has been an estimated 5 billion species on the planet. Currently today there is only an estimated 5 million species alive. It is called mother nature, although some have become extinct because of humans. Edited August 20, 2021 by i8hibsh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Climate change is fact - the world's climates change and have done for a billion years. The biggest one ever (ice age and subsequent melting of the ice) was millions of years before humans took their first breath. The argument is that humas are not changing the climate. Potentially I would agree we may be speeding it up but this is many many thousands of years away. The eco warriors we see today are involved in a global scam imo. A scam that wants your money, and of course they want to be important. The constant fearmongering and off the chart whackjob predcitions of imminent doomsday are laughable. Science and the science community are off the chart whackjobs? It's a disgrace the way we have treated the planet and an absolute sin the way we have treated the other forms of life on it. Listen I'm no better than you I have a car etc. Just saying it's about time we had a big change of outlook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
