I imagine, and I'm not saying this is correct (I have no idea about this stuff), voters porbably think that if ^^ this one happens at least the jobs will be in the US.

M8, I follow every Starship launch like a spectator sport and watch developments at Starbase every week. I think Mars is pointless nonsense but O'Neill cylinders are probably great a idea for some far flung future. We're not raising orbital elevators (or some other design more feasible) or any...

Too simple. You focus on the things that are simple to understand, but are not the end all: sun don't shine, wind don't blow, then we got nothing. It's far more complex than that, involving wider international networks, needing considerably better transmission, better storage (and yes...

I got hugs brother. Good luck.

Maybe we should move to New Zealand. Leave Europe to the yanks and the russkies to trash and then carve up between them, and go join New Zealand and offer ourselves up to the Chinese as a satellite state. I wonder if we'd get a better deal with the Chinese than with the Russo-US alliance.

Nope. The world won't act sufficiently fast even then. The rich by then will have walled up their mansions and they'll hide in there, until their bodyguards turn on them. Or maybe it won't be a mansion, maybe it will be bunkers like Fallout. Maybe sons of Musk and Bezos will be on a space...

<points, laughs>

Must. Resist.

Don't forget it's all a bit relative. And here's the important stuff in regard to the CO2 stuff (and never forget it's not just about CO2), from wikipedia: But this is all at absurdly long timescales. Though in fact, from the entire world history perspective, the above descrobes changes over...

Another thing with all this, of course, is that energy production, which everyone loves to talk about because it's relatively simple to do so, is only part of the problem. Concrete production, chemical production, planetary surface albedo change, nitrogen. plastics, could go on and on. We could...

That's the saddest thing I ever read :cry:. That's set me up for the day, cheers :eek:

Let me press some buttons for you: https://www.energydashboard.co.uk/historical Historical screen working OK, live screen seems to be having some problems this second. Lots more gas than wind. EDIT: Over the last week, that is. If you choose a 90 days or more timescale, there's more wind than...

You want to work at my place 🤪

Points have been made already about why we should not just say "there's no point us doing anything waaaahhh". I'm not repeating myself for him and I don't think anyone else should. I just had this year's look at whether or not I should chop in my old Mk2 Focus and see if I can afford an EV...

Is that just lecky cost?

My boy is 12 and I am laden with anxiety :D

It's a sad testament to human beings that larger, more fuel guzzling cars became the things to have just when global warming became accepted as an inevitable truth. I am a practicer of bangernomics. There is more than one reason for this, but money is one of them. I only buy petrol because I...

Yes, this. Like any measurement, context still plays a part. I did an absolutely amazing post in the other thread, successfully rubbishing anyone who disagrees with me, that demonstrates perfectly why I'm right about this.

Hey, I just posted almost exactly this in the COP thread :D . What;s going on? Shall I copy and paste it in here? I mean this whole thread is just a sub-discussion of the other thread godammit :D .

This victimhood thing is pretty tedious to listen to. Something else being done to us, isn't it? :rolleyes: It's this sort of nonsense that's slowly murdering this country. We, and I mean the British, bear large responsibility for industrialising the world, creating globalisation, consumer...
