Climate Crisis: Are we doing enough?

[Ian H]

If that's not worth fighting for, then what exactly is.??

Better dividends and a planet-slaying car, obv.

Better dividends and a planet-slaying car, obv.

If by 'dividends' you mean 'returns on investment' I have those in abundance across pretty much all the spheres of my life.

Blessed on many fronts. 🌈💃🌳🐞💜🙏🏼💚

Cars a bit of an old jalopy, but it goes from a to b with reasonable economy..

What more do you need.??

Well. Didn't expect this:

Scotland are powering ahead with ultra cheap onshore upgrades.

According to that, an electric coach uses 2kw/h per mile. Seems more than slightly off the rails.
In contrast, a slow ebike achieves towards 200 miles from that 2 kw.

First fist-fight I've seen filmed at a JSO march. Given the clear number-plate on film, you'd think this is a slam-dunk prosecution (for assault? ABH? ) : apologies for the Mail link, it's probably elsewhere:

Most of the solutions to climate change have been at our disposal for many a year.

It's political will, and decisive long term action, that's lacking.

As ever Caroline Lucas is the voice of reason.

It's a shame on one level that she's standing down as an MP , but it will be interesting to see what she does next.

Interesting there that Chiba has banned NCM batteries in storage systems, I assume for safety.
Whilst the risk is tiny, standard NCM lithium batteries are a fire risk.

Long term, I see them banned worldwide, though they do still win out for kw/h per kg.

I'll be at Santa Pod this weekend, hope there won't be too much High octane fuel burnt. 🤣

Just a quick question for you protester types out there, why don't the stop oilers turn up at places like Santa Pod to air their views?

There's basically a single track road leading into the strip that would need no more than a dozen heroes glued to the tarmac to cause chaos.

Surely events like this are at the very heart of their protests, mind you it's a long walk from the nearest bus station.

Not a "protester type" but, presumably because it is not a high profile event?
