Sir Kneelalot, promises to reduce our 1% of emissions by 81% by 2035. So we will bugger ourselves up without making any difference. The USA, India, China weren’t at COP. Neither were Germany or France. Though the Taliban were. Maybe he could have had a chat about homophobia and women’s rights with them?
Northumberland is amazing Spoilt for choice with the beaches. Alnmouth is my favourite, but you can’t go wrong whichever you go to
Lindisfarne on a quiet day is really something to experience too. The peace and quiet and feeling of isolation (insert joke about the MKM at full time here). Different when there's hoardes of other people there mind you
Service buses, Hull to Scarborough, Scarborough to Whitby, etc. Do I have to do everything for you?! The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
You've got time on your hands, make a week of it. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
The UK being responsible for 1% is complete nonsense, the reasons China's emissions are so high, is because of all the goods they produce for us. There's up to 100 long haul jumbo jets flights per day, to Europe and the US, from just two Chinese websites. 22% of all China's emissions are a direct consequence of our imports and we're in a position to stop that if we want.
I'm aware of that. Stop people in the street and ask them about child labour, or people earning a dollar a day and they say it's a disgrace, then they walk round the corner into Primark and say 'wow a blouse for £9, that's brilliant, I'm having that'.
Trump might (to a degree), our clowns won't ... they've done & continue doing the reverse. And that's where the complete nonsense really lies. And most consumers don't give a ****. It's all utter madness & bollox. But you knew all of that.
A similar argument applies to the resources needed for the so called 'green' technology. Importing from places like China rather than home production is a bit more complex and nuanced than some would like to claim, especially if we still want the products. The bigger issue is that the measures being pushed will not achieve their stated aims anyway, but they will drag the economy and standard of living down and affect energy and food security.
If people are living on a tight budget you can understand them doing that. That's just a practical reality for a lot of people
