I still don't get how all this electric car stuff is going to work. Millions of people will not be able to charge vehicles outside their homes, health and safety are going to have a field with claims. For me it's always been ok if it's fuel and electric, but to go totalling electric seems crazy.

The charging points have to be plentiful to give people confidence to buy electric. And they need to be rapid chargers. They need to be as regular as petrol stations, or supermarket car park, stations etc so that people know that they can charge up wherever they are. The battery technology is getting better all the time so charging times, battery life and range are constantly improving.

There is though, the issue of mining the lithium to make the batteries, and then what to do with all of the old batteries once they have perished ....

You live in a fairyland of utter bullshit. You obviously firmly believe that 9% are going to want to stay scratching in the dirt forever and all the developing countries are going to stop developing just to make a bunch of lefty dreamers happy.

He copies his stuff from google. I clocked that one ages ago, it's the only way he knows all this shhite.

This is where he copied it from... https://ourworldindata.org/co2-by-income-region.

That's because I included the link you donut

It aint going to happen mate, it stark raving bonkers. Just because you can pull up outside your Cornish stone house, millions of people can't get anywhere near their home.

You're supposed have lived in London ffs, you should know what it's like.

oh....probably because I didn't read it.

I'm sure Ern wouldn't let emotions get in the way if it was one of his family members gasping for breath on a hospital bed.

Making decision using emotion over reason is the best way to make the wrong choice. Face it piskie, you're wrong and you know it. In fact you knew it from the first post which is why you made the pathetic 'race' claim along with a load of other hyperbole and trying to put words in my mouth. Delude yourself with your utopic fantasy, but truth is you'd rather have everyone die than let 3b die from natural causes. And that makes you the bigger **** because I'm doing it out of necessity, whilst yours is all about pampering your ego "oh, what a lovely guy I am."

Yeah it’s ‘fairyland bullshit’ that suggesting sustainability isn’t beyond the wit of man, and the stuff of ‘lefty dreamers’ when all it needs is a good old fashioned cull as that’ll sort the job right out.

Yeah there's loads of people who aren't going to be able to charge up at home. But currently nobody can fill up with fuel at home either. So it's going to need charging stations at least as regularly spaced at petrol stations.

Only the thing is, if your entire position here is based on letting nature do its thing and that being of benefit to mankind as it reduces the global population, then this isn’t the virus for you. As the majority of those who’ve died of COVID were beyond their reproductive years, so their premature death does nothing to stifle population growth.

What your position needs is a deadly virus that is more prevalent and deadly to the young. A virus that sees our hospitals full of kids, many of them dying. You’d obvs be calling for the schools to be kept open and everyone to just crack on, as the death toll of all of those kids will do wonders for controlling population growth, so it’s just nature’s way, and the medical profession should take a moratorium on it, and just sit back and watch. Don’t let emotions get in the way and all that, it’s for the greater good.

Hold up mate, if we go on a mass cull of the young one's, who's paying the pensions! We need more thought about this me thinks.

at least he's doing some research and he isn't getting all his knowledge from memes, that's at least something these days.

Ffs, mate, some people can't even find a place for the dog to have a shhite, let alone build a charging station.

I think my memes are about as intelligent as his research, afterall, any idiot can copy and paste, even I managed it with the link.

It's a complete non starter though isn't it. And as I've said, it's more of an equitable resource issue than too many people being the problem.

If we were to calculate this distribution by the income of individuals, rather than countries, we’d see that the global inequalities in emissions would be even greater. The richest of the global population would be responsible for an even larger share of global emissions.

btw I copied and pasted that.

A car that runs on dog **** is the solution then

There should be a bigger focus on public transport than electric cars imo. Electric cars, although substantially better, still have a reasonably high footprint due to the batteries iirc.

Not that I'm that arsed like, the whole thing is decades too late and a lost cause imo, but switching personal vehicles from FF to electric isn't going to have anywhere near enough impact to reverse the trends we're seeing.

Exactly.

Probably more use than a charging station situated a couple of miles away.
