Climate Change

[MNW67]

Back to the original question: Of course man made "climate change" is a lie.

We have objective evidence of it: The US, with access to the best scientists, the greatest funding in the world to do the research, has taken the measured decision to revoke its so called "green policies". Why would it do this if that research and those scientists weren't whispering the truth into the administration's ear ...

Interesting that this full time climate grifter has only just posted and you already have it in your freed to share here, - shows you are signed up to the channel and how much you have been brain washed and just repost stuff without thinking

Why would it do this

Have you never heard of Donald Trump?

I'm not a fanatic about man-made climate change, but that's not an argument. It could be because the people in power in America do things to their advantage, and don't care about the planet.

Perhaps trumps latest exec order will sort out/ lower the cost of trucks / cars in the states for people ??

Been watching Daves autos on line

11 sensors on some trucks just dealing with catalytic converters / emmisions

Can cost thousands to sort out issues

Stay local they said don't fly they told us ---- all so they could tax us more

Holiday tax could make holidays 'unaffordable' for many, campaigners say

The chancellor is to allow regional mayors to introduce visitor levies on overnight stays, but the industry argues this would put an extra £100 or more on the cost of a fortnight's stay.

I have read that we can only now supply 30% of our annual gas needs and we will run out within a decade.

Can we have the link for please

My point was nothing to do with climate change!

It was about energy security in a world where the USA might become an enemy.

That’s a very paranoid post.

But I am still interested in the overall issue of whether renewables are the best option for energy security for a continent which is resource poor.

There will be extra LNG capacity coming on stream over the next four years from Canada and Qatar.

the UK is not resource poor when it comes to oil and gas, and we are fools not to support our energy security with it

don't get me wrong, i'm not an idiot climate change denier, and I am all for renewables, but at some point the world will wake up to climate disaster, it is on its way, lets be ahead of the game.

but until we don't need fossil fuels, which will be a very long way in the future (remember we need oil and gas for plastics) then we must be self sufficient.

and just to counter the silly argument about we sell it all on international markets and ours is too sweet or thin; our gov could commandeer it and other markets would trade some of ours for some of theirs. and even if they didn't, we could still make everything we need albeit in a less efficient manner.


it is a very tricky balance stabilising our global climate/atmosphere and not destroying our economy.

I was talking about the energy security of Europe as a whole.

But I am happy to discuss your UK specific points.

As regards gas, do you accept the industry view that if we relied on our own production for all our gas needs then we would run out in three years time.

Oil is trickier. Part of the issue is like the USA in reverse. They can't refine their own sweet, light crude. We can't currently refine the sour, heavy crude which now makes up most of the North Sea production. I agree that we could spend billions adapting our refineries with cokers. But even then, we can only produce 60% of our oil needs and that is declining all the time.

Just to make you aware, we may run out of gas earlier than suspected as I have just turned up my heating as it is freezing. I don't care about future reserves or saving energy, I am such a rebel as I also have all of my lights on and I dont need them on. My motto is use what you can today as tomorrow you might not have any.

I'm not totally surprised by that!

It's the only way to live. It has served me well and I would encourage everyone to do the same, save yourself not the planet,
