    Careful David, your have opinion police knocking on your door.

    Net zero is a joke and completely unachievable. China, India, America.

    Like the tories, Labour are done. They might as well merge as one party I see no difference between them.

    Labour and tories have ripped of the working classes for three decades and Labour have now done over the middle class etc. The kids are all pissed because they can't afford to move out of mum and dad's. Its now taking over a year for graduates to get jobs and  I'm talking about kids with shit hot degrees. 

    Next general election i predict a landslide in favour of Reform. 

  • EV's, heat pumps, smart meters, all a whitewash.

    Drax power station burning millions of tonnes of wood pellets imported on diesel ships from North America and emit more carbon than a coal fired power station yet received 500 million in government subsidies and paid out 300 million in dividends to shareholders , think this is called green whitewashing. Keir Starmer being driven around in a 5lt V8 Range Rover, do as I say not as I do !

    "Drill baby drill"

  •  Am I the only one that thinks it might be nice not to trash the planet? Even if that means some inconvenience along the way?  Climate change is real.  If the north atlantic drift stops, we'll have winters like Moscow, that might be a bit inconvenient.  More floods, more droughts, farmers unable to get on their fields.  We might have left it too late to do anything about it, but for the love of god surely we can try?

    • The UK emits less than 2% of global greenhouse gases do you really think if we all drive EV's, have smart meters we will make any difference?

      Net zero for the UK is a pipe dream as it conveniently ignores the carbon emissions from all the goods we import and funds the building of coal fired power stations opening at the rate of one a week in China and India etc.

      We have Ed Miliband proposing to spend 22 billion on carbon capture which is unproven technology and may not work, yet we have people waiting on trolleys in hospital corridors for hours and often days. I'm sure they must think that all this green whitewashing is a price worth paying for the money to be spent on vanity projects !

      No doubt all these ministers who think up these schemes will be quietly moved sideways into another ministerial role when they don't work and continue to receive their large salaries and gold plated pensions. Stuff the poor taxpayer.

      • less than 2% of emissions, from 1% of the global population.  Add to that the fact that a) we've offshored a lot of our emissions by buying products from China instead of making what we need, and b) that we'd put millions of tonnes into the atmosphere before most of the world even started to industrialise, and it's very much down to us to do our bit.  We're not the worst, but we can hardly lobby other counrtries to reduce if we don't.

        • Think you need to have a word with Starmer and ask him what he is doing about Drax, as noted in my previous post along with when he is swapping his 5lt Range Rover for an EV !

      No you are not.

      Short term plans made by selfish greedy power hungry individuals will not help the planet, just themselves.

      Fortunes are being made by carbon offsetting and green energy.

      China have no human rights for there own poeple why would they care about the rest.

      Global warming is nothing new, we just sped it up. It will cost us our lives. Considering we are the cause would that be a bad thing?

      Don't worry I'm sure a scientist will come up with something as long as there's money in it.

      'I don't like money', said know one

       

      • Scientists come up with all sorts of things becauser they find them interesting.  Capitalists then work out how to monetise the profitable ones.

         

        Blame capitalism, not science.
