  1. Oil and Gas are 80% of our energy needs. We are diversifying our energy quicker than virtually every country, but only an idiot thinks we won't need oil and gas for decades yet.

  2.  @Morning404  You clearly didn't bother reading what I have written. Renewables make up 20% of our CURRENT energy demands, tje rest is made up of oil and gas and Nuclear, not to mention what is required for products from oil and gas. So please explain HOW you intend to replace oil and gas and on what timescale you intend to do it? Like most anti oil hypocrites you don't realise that your energy demand FUELS SUPPLY. You wouldn't last five minutes without oil and gas and you know that if you transitioned to renewables as you naively want to that you'd just ensure half the world went back into extreme poverty. It wouldn't make a difference to climate for hundreds of years if we stopped all CO2 tomorrow, so if it takes 60 years to phase out oil then that is what it takes.

  3.  @pauldog  Clearly you know NOTHING about energy. We export oil because we don't have sufficient refining facilities for our own energy demands. We need to build more refineries. We import 50bn of oil and gas, and export 32bn. Imagine if we didn't have to import ANY, be better environmentally and it would be better financially.

  4. We ARE. Of all the European countries the UK is decarbonising quicker than ANY other except perhaps Denmark and Norway.

  5.  @laravonstaden1838  It is. These morons are naive fools. We, as a country will NEED energy from a variety of sources for DECADES. Recent events have shown us we CANNOT rely on other countries for our energy. We have no storage for renewable energy If we want to A) reduce carbon and B) be more energy self reliant why would you ever want to continue importing oil and gas?

  6. Just a bunch of morons who would not last five minutes without oil and gas and would rather import it at 4X the CO2.

  7. Large parts? 😂😂😂

  8.  @Onequietvoice  It's not a "large part of the world" That doesn't even equal 0.1% of the worlds land surface. Wiildfires are frequently arson or accidental or just happen due to lightning. Fires don't start due to air temperature.

  9.  @Onequietvoice  No, fires spread in relation to how dry the grass and other vegetation is, not air temperature Wildfires have always happened, and yes Climate Change MAY be exacerbating it, but it isn't causing wildfires. For your information the recent Greek fires were put almost entirely down to accident and arson by their very own government. Furthermore the Canada National Fire database actually shows DECREASING trend in number of fires in the last 40 years Someone stated LARGE PARTS OF THE EARTH WERE ON FIRE. I simply pointed out using statistical information that this wasn't true. There are so many more aspects to flooding than climate. I'm sorry you don't know that. I'm sorry your understanding of hydrology is so poor. Also, do you think Greenland has no vegetation? You not naive? You actually think it's ice all year round?
