They are supposed to represent the majority, not the tiny woke minority, in a bid to virtue signal themselves back into power. Why do you think Labour can't win general elections?

Gordon R Posted June 19, 2023 Report Share Posted June 19, 2023 (edited) Quote Trillions discobob - apologies - you are correct. The UK cannot alter what the rest of the World does. We can be noble and set a moral example, whilst Russia, China, India, Germany etc laugh at us. I would appreciate a straight answer from those who aspire to "net zero". If we meet that target (I know it will never happen), what effect will that have on the Polar ice cap, greenhouse gases for the planet? How much will the overall temperature of the planet reduce? How are we going to stop the sun getting hotter? Edited June 19, 2023 by Gordon R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discobob Posted June 19, 2023 Report Share Posted June 19, 2023 (edited) @Gordon R The IPCC have said that if we hit net zero it would be between 200 years and 1000 years to see a difference!! This is within their latest report apparently in an interview that Richard Tice done - if anyone does watch it I found it highly amusing that the guest - Michael Jacobs (former advisor to Gordon Brown) - in shere rage was causing the table to shake. It was either that or he is one sick puppy.... Edited June 19, 2023 by discobob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I commented a couple of weeks ago about the move to register all poultry - once registered.... 200k cattle over three years - what will be the carbon footprint of that I wonder.... I have also heard mutterings about pets... and I am not on about Chickens.... Fido and Felix could be up for the chop in the near future because of their carbon footprint. Guess who will follow fido and felix? 3 hours ago, Gordon R said: discobob - apologies - you are correct. The UK cannot alter what the rest of the World does.

Well said on all your points. Some people really do have little understanding on how our democracy functions. Clarification isn't unreasonable and it works both ways. It's irelevent if you agree with the point being questioned or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
