Not really. Mankind has solutions to protecti the majority of humans from the virus - either through natural immunity or artificially induced immunity. There is no such natural or technological solution to climate impacts, other than changing our behaviours so that future inhabitants of the planet can survive. |

Has anyone noticed the cost of electric shooting up in price? In Europe it has gone up 600% this year. It’s all an expensive joke .

Oh, by the way, this is only the begining!!
Once we have all been railroaded into having everything electrical we will be held to ransom by either somone high hacking the power grid or having to pay whatever the service provider says or the wind or solar stops working ,you wont be able to move anything. All your eggs in one basket, good luck with that!! |

Yes agreed it's going to upset a lot of people. I was reading Carbon Briefs Q&A with the governments 'Net -Zero' policy chaps a few weeks ago & it's an eye opener. As this net-zero stretches out to 2050 I was surprised at some of these timelines being within the decade. These three paragraphs jumped out at me "The plan explicitly states that “we want less motor traffic in urban areas” and says the aim is for 50% of all trips in towns and cities to be on foot or by bike by 2030." "Even if all combustion engine car sales end, various modelling exercises have demonstrated that car traffic will need to drop 2-4% each year over the next decade to align with net-zero." "However, it does note that in the future “additional targeted action” – such as “steps to reduce use of the most polluting cars and tackle urban congestion” – may be required to meet climate targets. Another transport decarbonisation plan in five years’ time will assess progress." https://www.carbonbrief.org/in-depth...-for-transport

This is exactly what is needed, so thank you for finally recognising the obvious. It is not the richest few percent that are responsible for our pollution problems. It is the ordinary 95%+ of citizens - we peasants as I call ourselves - and the richest few percent. Of course, there may be many other reasons for hating the top few percent of the richest people, but pollution is probably not that reason. |

That's one way to reduce the population, cycle into town and get mown down by the electric car you didn't hear coming.
