    I suppose COVID joins Climate Change as an area where bad science mixes with the good, and the average Joe has no way to tell the difference. So he worries more about whom to believe rather than what to believe. I want to believe what is true, no matter the messenger.

    How do you know what is true? Unless your knowledge and understanding is superior to the average Joe.

    Not to worry, reducing our 1% of emissions will save the world. Meanwhile China and India are opening coal fired power stations at the rate of one a week. And, after scrapping winter fuel allowance to save £1 billion we are giving £11 billion to help countries with developing green energy including one country which is in the process of building 27 new airports.

    How, indeed. That's where I start. Unfortunately, that's where many stop.

    I wonder if the author, Mackinlay, is a paid member on the board of a quango funded by Saudi Arabia, set up to lobby the UK government on energy policy?

    I see Ford are scaling back on EV production and future EV developments, and are to concentrate more on hybrids, good. :emoticon-0138-think

    The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.

    Around here we refer to this as “pissing into the wind”.
