  1. ​ @bigbinji6145  Sure Sunak cares about old people freezing to death. That's why he had the grid upgraded where he lives to carry the additional electricity required, wait what?.. Oh, it was for his family's swimming pool's heating while the town's public pool closed. The responsibility for those old people clearly weighs very heavily 🙄

  2.  @magsathome65  Chris did say those who struggle financially should be helped to transition.

  3.  @magsathome65  Not being a politician Chris isn't in a position himself to ensure the poorest get help, that's what Sunak et al are supposed to be doing. Why are you sceptical when Chris is pushing for that and even explained how it could be done? What excuse has Sunak got for not doing likewise?

  4.  @josephking1947  Most politicians are terrible, agreed. Not sure why you think Chris is a sell-out, or what a business man who's advocating for and building green energy has to do with that. Seems like you're a climate change denier so maybe not Sunak, but still a billionaire advocate.

  5.  @josephking1947  Sunak's already a billionaire, trust him to care do you? Magic indeed ✨

  6.  @josephking1947  Agreed, I would hope Chris has attempted to have a full understanding of the impact of wind turbines. It's not just green energy we need, but a reduction in energy consumption... Tree removal is an issue of course. It would be good if the government actually allowed onshore windfarms for that to be a problem, although where possible farms should be in tree-less areas. Trees suffer from other issues far worse than windfarms and climate change due to fossil fuel use will only add to that. Some trees lost vs all trees lost. Bird deaths can be reduced by around 70% by painting one blade black so that the birds can see them better and avoid them. I've known this for years. Presumably the energy companies do too... Bat deaths can be almost totally prevented with a combination of radar sensing and turbine slowdown. An automatic slowdown/ stopping of the blades at night when wind speeds drop (bats are more active when wind speeds fall), or there are bats detected. Cameras can also serve this function, although not as well. Both can be used to collect data on bat populations, behaviour, etc. I thought the wind turbines were magic. If not, what is? Care to name the astrophysicist? Anthropomorphic climate change has been known about and denied for decades. Guess who knew first??. The fossil fuel companies that had/ have a profit motive to know, while they quietly collected data from all of their ready made weather stations, or rigs, etc. (I don't believe energy generation should be in the hands of private business, but while it is I'm glad Dale Vince is around.) They even predicted sea level rise from this data and for why did they keep collecting data? Concern, empathy, any emotion, anything caused by their "measurable evidence"? No. In order that they would know where to place their rigs next to keep extracting fossil fuels, as the planet continues to drown/ burn. I don't see this conversation lasting much longer, but we'll see. EDIT The tobacco companies did the same propaganda with their product, but business needs to make a killing, huh? At least with tobacco it was just ourselves.

  7.  @alanhat5252  Thank you for the info 🤠 Yeah, there are pros and cons to the radar/ camera idea. We need people to look into them more rather than keep protecting the poor fossil fuel barons 💚

  8.  @bigbinji6145  Less silly than your comments and you might want to read. 'Brave New World,' is one of my favourites as a work of fiction and a warning. Not as an aspiration, even if it is for Sunak. Take care 🤠💚

  10. I'm guessing he wouldn't, however Chris would crush any debate online, or in the HoC! He should run to be a MP!!

  11. @@PeteCockcroft You mean he'd lose the debate because of his sartorial choices?

  12. Someone should tell Sunak and the rest about this, as well as other science. Rather than them waffling on and investing in unproven techno fixes.

  13. One of these things is not the same.
