Amazon forest felled to build road for climate summit

[Notch7]

As is GB attaining net zero in relation to the rest of the world. Yet GB net zero is critical I've heard. Two tier climate lol.

Whilst your point has validity and it’s a difficult problem to solve but it’s a regressive argument
Your argument is the old student house analogy: “well I’m not cleaning the kitchen because Billy never did it last week”

Something that is everybody's responsibility becomes no one’s responsibility.


Anyway there is huge growth in development of green technology, it is in the interest of the U.K. to be at the front in that race not sitting back letting other countries take over.


I don’t think U.K. governments are approaching net zero in a sensible way, but it should still be a goal.

Chinna building coal fired power stations does not mean we should stop cleaning up our rivers, it has a direct effect on us at home.

Good thing we drive milk floats...
If it wasn't for us the world would explode...

Maybe time to go back to horse and cart, they were quick

 

[denso13]

you mean like we were all going to die with covid ?

Yes, just like those lies and the ones where the vaccinated were all going to die.

 

[johnny2007]

That, and the tax benefits, but mostly............

the acceleration

We're heading in that direction.
Here in London is total chaos with all kind of road rules and restrictions.
Last Sunday it took me 2 hours to cover 10 miles.
With horse and carriage I could've taken several shortcuts and surely make it in about an hour.
They're forcing us off the cars, even financially, so next step is either bicycle or horse.
Progress for you!

A decent electric bike with thick treaded tyres and panniers has got to be an option for some trades

Which trades?

Which trades?

For quoting, plus tote for the go to tools, not necessarily an complete alternative

You would need one a day in Khan's London.
Or maybe more if you attend more than one job in a day...

I couldn't live in London, not even if my earnings were quadrupled. I still wouldn't do it.
How do you manage?
It must be hell!

A blind fitter...

Been here most of my life.
In the past 9 years it's become hell.
Incidentally since the emperor took power.
It is now a shythole with a few happy places not yet invaded by his kind.
Fortunately my area is still inhabited by the same families that were here in the 50s with the exception of a very few who are forced to behave like humans.
Said this, unfortunately I don't think I'll be here for the rest of my days because criminality is now spreading fast towards our area.
We patrol our own streets but we're getting old and the new generation don't care and/or don't understand the risk of having criminal dealings on your doorstep.
Sorry state of affairs.

Right. You're on a DIY forum populated with retired, active and ex trades and you think an electric bike with panniers is an option for them to conduct their business. You live in la la land Blup.

Every little helps, more so as trumpf moves into full scale denial.

Best not chop the forest down for a road then?

Of course, unless there was no option.
