Amazed that you can tell how much CO2 is in the atmosphere visually.

I'm sorry but the naivety that anything will change when we have 3rd (2nd) or even what are now first world countrys (India & China) with populations that want all the luxuries America and co have is just laughable.

8 billion people inhabit this planet. 8 billion that want a first world lifestyle and the majority coudn't give a fuck about global warming, ecoism and tree hugging, They'd rather have an I phone 15 and sod the future.

If you think the jolly old UK can make an iota of difference you are dreaming, end of. Global warming will happend because there are 8 billion people on the planet. Electric cars won't save it. Throwing your rubbish in blue or red bins won't save it.

Reducing the worlds population might, but I suspect that is way too late now.

So in answer to your com trail pictures? too late pal. The window has gone. No one is going to ban planes so get out there and sniff the smell of jet fuel in the morning.

That's a bit dramatic! There only needs to be two things done on a global scale: stop burning coal (heating? use natural gas, power generation? loads of alternatives) and stop large scale deforestation (Brazil, Indonesia.)

For the former the US probably could be persuaded, China not so much. And for the latter you only have to wipe out the populations of Brazil and Indonesia rather than a global cull

Yeah, Thunderfoot's okay with the scientific stuff but he's a patronising cunt when he goes political

if governments genuinely gave a toss for the environment theyd ban plastics.

Oh, and a good old war doesn't do much to help either.....

What are the effects of the Russia and Ukraine war on climate?
During the first seven months of the war, the fighting released some 100 million tonnes of carbon into the atmosphere, as well as the sabotage to the two Nord Stream pipelines in September 2022, which led to the biggest ever point source release of methane – a potent warming gas

And I don't think tanks and APCs are known for high mpg either

Getting rid of plastics is about the same as getting rid of modern civilisation at this point Probably a lot more stuff could be made out of wood or bamboo if we put some effort in; aluminium is straightforward to recycle.

I'm typing away on a mechanical keyboard I've had for so long I can't even recall when I bought it... at least 7 years, maybe more so I'll not begrudge its plastic content. It's the single-use stuff that annoys me the most. The kids have all these plastic toys that get about 5 mins use before going in the bin whereas a set of wooden building bricks still gets dragged out, maybe 50 years old or more.

In a word the problem for CO2 (and methane) is 'consumption' - more people on the planet more consumption - CO2 levels appear to be lock-step in tune with population rise, 'bad' items consumed are meat, fuel for travel/heating/crypoto currency mining , plastics etc..

So we can.

a) reduce the population - this might in fact be happening already

b) stop eating meat, travelling so much (espec. by plane), embrace sustainable energy.


So, dare I say, Val has a point. however it will be a mix of measures that might help us edge awy from the abyss.. WRT to China my mate was ther on business recently and claimed they were years in front with EVs and eco transport in general, in China at least it seems they are not the tuk-tuk exhaust spewing generation they were 20-30 years ago and I think Im correct is saying the produce most of the worlds Solar PV panels.

Imagine getting paid to show up somewhere, be obnoxious, get arrested, have loads of press and PR about your activities. That is your actual job. That's what you get paid to do, the more arrests the better.
