Off Topic Just Stop Oil

Scruffy tramps.
The French have the best idea.

 

Problem with these idiots is that none of them get what the real problem is and that's the increasing population around the world, stopping oil is idiotic as we are reliant on oil for all kinds of products way beyond just fuel, might just as well stop electricity and watch the complete collapse of civilization.

 

the thick ****s will burn fossil fuels getting to the capital too to protest.

they are just scumbags seeking attention.

I’d give them a slap if the my got in my way.

 

Looks like they have succeeded then!

 

I don’t know what the big French lad was saying, but I liked his style. Sadly he’ll probably be in jail now though.

 

People like to think it’s increasing population but it’s actually not. Increasing population is happening mostly in developing countries but they use little energy compared to the developed world. Most of energy consumption in developing world is through industrial expansion.

Three things need to happen before we can get near a global net zero situation:
1) developed world needs to agree how to compensate developing world for cost of converting to low carbon economies, effectively compensating them for the damage we did when we were at our industrial peak
2) developed world needs to come up with incentives for population to go low carbon - subsidies on electric cars, penalties for using fossil fuels etc
3) a global system of energy trading in renewables needs needs to be agreed to so that energy is produced where it most cost effective and consumed where needed. To do that we have to be able to store and transport produced energy efficiently.

Unfortunately I don’t think any of this is going to happen until we recognise it’s a global issue that needs resolving globally.

 

And all of this is pointless unless China are on board

 

Agreed. It has to be a global solution and western countries have to accept it’s going to cost them to implement a global solution. Western countries can deal with their own carbon issues relatively easily as little demand growth is forecast there. Energy useage growth is all down to China, India, Brazil, Indonesia etc. And how do you get them to accept that they have to forego their own natural resources to help the world.

Modelling shows that climate change is more likely to impact temperate climate countries than tropical ones. So why should they sacrifice their growth to help the rest of the world.

 

Just to add on what the Manc is saying







It’s an extremely complex issue but the World needs to realise it’s everybody’s problem and everybody has to help to fix it.

 

Global warming is really good for holiday temperatures.

I’m all in.

Just heading out now for an unweeded car journey to do my bit to help retirement.

 

Does that mean you’re not on gardening leave?

 

Thought you were at home against Millwall today?

 

Let's be honest, we are going to destroy our world one way or another. Whether it's over population, energy consumption, deforestation, nuclear war, or whatever. It's just all a matter of time.

So we need to focus on the single most important thing, i.e. whether we get to see NUFC win some trophies first.

 

Unweeded? You normally drive round munted off your face I guess! Fair play!

 

Bit off topic, just bought tickets for the friendly in two weeks. It's the bairn's first ever game! Walked him round ground. He's ****ing buzzing! It's mint being a Dad sometimes!

 

Agree, till they can't get a signal for their device 2 hours before kick off in the pub and you want to drop kick them in the head

 

IN THE PUB????
Not like the good old days when you were chucked outside rain or shine with a coke

 

He drinks with Poster Boy and Chippy so they wouldn't dare chuck him out incase they get chinned off Hung or they get accused of bullying disabled people with Chippy

 

Exactly. That’s what’s missing today the ability to prioritize what’s important and what’s not. Well done you Fat, fuel guzzling, wood burning, randy mad man.
