To be fair, I found them quite good initially .......... then they had rapid expansion by taking on customers from other failed suppliers - and it all went downhill.

JohnfromUK Posted November 17 Report Share Posted November 17 On the same basic subject, those planning to meet "net zero" needs to look at their own carbon usage if they are serious. Why do we need to fly 470 delegates a 5000 mile round trip to talk about reducing carbon usage? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14091247/Keir-Starmer-Britain-delegates-climate-change-Baku.html More typical two tier Kier Starmer; You must cut your carbon usage whilst I and my officials use more. You must pay higher taxes, whilst I and my officials take 'jollies' at the States expense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aslong as our sheet of paper shows we don't create emissions they are happy. If we close a coal fired station and one opens in say France, the problem has not gone it's just moved. The worlds emissions have not reduced. And we are all inside the same atmosphere.. but the response will be, it's not on our data for the UK so we don't care.

Just politicians ways of living 5 star? The prepared reply of course is that it's routine air scheduled flights?

Milliband is making a huge personal contribution ........ to increasing global warming (in which he apparently believes) by clocking up 23,000 air miles since the election.

oowee Posted November 17 Report Share Posted November 17 People used to and i think some still do believe, the world to be flat. Despite the best science they saw with their own eyes that it was flat. Surely if it were round we would all fall off. We started the industrial revolution what better than to lead the world out of it. Of course its much easier cheaper and less of an affront to our lifestyles, to imagine that we know better than the scientists that study this stuff. Problem with human uncivilisation is it's always the fault of someone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UK govt party is just 57. You would expect that if the UK believes it's at the forefront of change then we want to be winning business across the world. This will need people to do it.

Scully Posted November 17 Report Share Posted November 17 I think Friends of the Earth or one of those such organisations claims the carbon footprint of all global air traffic is only matched by that of global internet use, both of which will only increase rather than decline. Way to go! 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
