Off Topic Climate change/ pollution

That's not 'recorded weather'.

 

It's the 'Feverishly Farting Fish Effect' giving forth again.

 

Hmmm Popular Mecanics, can they teach me how to service a Triumph Bonneville T140?

 

China has spent £28bn building the longest, 1.87km long railway bridge in the world. For what? To transport coal!

 

It's a tad longer than that.

Think you might have mistakenly used a decimal point?

Meanwhile HS2 is 230km and expected to cost, oh never mind it's way too much.

 

That’s 80m people cunningly disguised as 200m tons of coal then.

 

Dedicated for coal, whatever you choose to describe it as.

 

Seems the people saying if we set a lead by reducing our emissions the world would follow were right.

 

Looks like a viaduct with a railway line on it.

 

Maybe the board of China Railway read this forum and your numerous posts over the years about how climate change doesn't exist, how mining for coal never harmed you and how there's nothing wrong with coal fired power stations, so followed your way of thinking.

 

Any links to where I have said there is nothing wrong with coal fired power stations? I said it is pointless this country wearing sackcloth and ashes and going for net zero when we contribute about 1% of the world’s emissions whilst China have hundreds of coal fired power stations and are opening another one each week. Not to mention building over 50 new airports whilst we have been discussing building one runway. Seems those who deludedly say if we give a lead the world will follow were talking through their nether regions.
Of course climate change exists. The climate has been changing for billions of years, long before man (is that word permissible?) came on the scene.

 

The railway was started in 2015, long before this thread was started. A lot has happened in 9 years. Renewable energy, whatever the initial investment, is going to benefit the world long term, beyond all of us on here lifetimes. Change is nothing to be scared of. Many bitter and nihilistic older men want the world to be ****ed, because it makes it easier to leave it.

 

So, why is China building so many more coal fired power stations instead of aiming for net zero?
There is no need for silly younger men to **** the world up now, at least in this country, because they stupidly think that what this country does will affect anything.
