  5. The British ability to cope with weather that most other countries deal with easily is truly pathetic.

  9.  @johntate5050  Incorrect. Im a Brit living in Norway and we cope far better with bad weather than the UK does. Oslo is -20+ at the moment with a metre of snow at the airport and planes still fly. One inch of snow cripples the UK road network and air travel. Nordic countries and the likes of France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy etc don't fall apart either.

  10. Love the naive comments. The level of simpering John Lennon type sympathies are pathetic

  11. Air travel is only 2.5% of global co2, the internet and data storage is 4%. Why demonise planes but ignore the internet?

  16. What evidence have you got of that claim? Furthermore Germany are in the EU and they have gone back on their net zero targets.

  19.  @johntate5050  Ha ha. I used to live in France and it was fine. I couldn't care less about Ireland, I said MOST countries are better at dealing with weather than the UK, and they ARE Scotland gets a lot of bad weather and it is TERRIBLE at dealing with it. Winter tyres really should be mandatory in Scotland.

  20.  @johntate5050  If you'd bothered to read my post instead of replying so indignantly before you'd finished you'd have noticed I mentioned France, Italy, Germany, Austria and Switzerland too. They aren't Scandinavian . Again, why does Scotland suffer so much from the slightest bad weather. Shouldn't they be used to it, after all bad weather isn't unusual.

  23.  @neilywales  Cars aren't charged by renewables. Renewables only currently supply on average 20% of our energy needs. If you make all the cars electric, that simply increases electricity for demand which means MORE has to be met with fossil fuels, or nuclear. We already have spent billions on renewables. Renewables alone CANNOT meet our energy needs, not least because we have NO STORAGE for that electricity generated. PS, flooding in the UK and Europe is largely down to poor town planning, drainage, flood defences and lack of sustainable urban drainage.

  24.  @neilywales  Who's making tje renewables infrastructure Neily? Yes, Chinese, so your money is STILL going overseas, especially as we have NO STATE OWNED renewable energy companies so profit is going to Ørsted, Vattenfall, Statkraft etc, none of which are British.

  25.  @RampantFirefly  Have you got a special cable going into your house that only comes from renewable sources? No, you get whatever is in the grid regardless of how it is produced.
    1
  26.  @RampantFirefly  Yes, but until we have a way of STORING renewable energy in sufficient quantities for low wind and sun conditions you NEED fossil fuels AND nuclear. We are nowhere near generating enough electricity for our CURRENT needs, that's before all the proposed electrification of vehicles and heating, cooking, industry hot water etc. We are miles off and we are one of the leading countries in renewables so OBVIOUSLY we need to scale back these naive targets until we have an infrastructure to deal with it. Can't see how you can disagree with that.

  27.  @RampantFirefly  What are you doing to reduce Co2? Nothing I bet, like all climate zealot hypocrites. You could get off the Internet as that's the same Co2 as air travel per year.
    1
  28.  @stevec6427  We aren't solely relying on that. We need it as part of collection of energy sources because we don't have sufficient technology to replace it yet, ergo we need to keep using it. Furthermore we make 6000+ products that rely upon oil and gas as constituent parts. You wouldn't last five minutes without it, from the moment you get up to when you get up next day you are reliant on it for everything.
    1
  29.  @stevec6427  Ha ha ha ha. And who do you think those companies are going to pass the cost onto? You think they'll do it for free? YOU will pay. PS the UK has 30m + properties that use oil and gas, that means at least 10,000 each on average to convert to electricity and electric boilers are MORE expensive to run. That would cost 300 BILLION to convert those properties. Got a spare 10k?

  30.  @stevec6427  Ha ha ha, why do you think Oil and Gas prices were high Steve? You think they just put them up to inconvenience you? It's called demand pull inflation and happened as a result of a massive energy demand increase post covid. Jesus, use your brain.

  31.  @RampantFirefly  I didn't say "the technology isn't there, so why bother" I didn't even imply that. I said the technology isn't there to allow us to store renewable energy in sufficient quantities to do away with fossil fuels any time soon. Not only do you not understand the energy issue, you can't read either. We rely on air for freight and the transportation of goods, so yes, it IS necessary. Our modern world is also contingent on being able to travel. Funny how people like you only attack certain sources of CO2, whilst completely ignoring others and letting them off.
    1
  32.  @RampantFirefly  You said it wasnt essential for the modern world, which includes air freight, well the modern world is defined by how we live. If planes aren't necessary for the modern world, neither is the internet. We had a modern world without it 25 years ago

  33.  @RampantFirefly  I'd argue that air travel IS important to modern life. It's been part of our "modern world" since about 1960. You've probably been on dozens of flights to loads of different countries and your world would be very different without it. It's certainly more important than "social media" For your information, freight is transported on passenger planes too. Again, I didn't say a bloody thing about not preparing for the future, I simply said we are NOWHERE near being able to transition to renewables and that it is obvious that oil and gas are a necessarily large proportion of our energy supply. Sorry you can't understand that , but our move to renewables is hampered by technology not developing at a fast enough rate for such preposterous targets.

  34.  @RampantFirefly  Ha ha ha. Yes, a train from UK to Norway for example is a great use of time. The airline industry is a paltry 2% of Co2, like most climate zealots you're focussed on a tiny proportion. Why would you want to give that up for 2 bloody %? Why for example don't you target your ire at the global fashion industry? That's 5x the Co2 of the airline industry, yet it's never mentioned. You still haven't addressed that I didn't say we "shouldn't bother doing anything" You are clearly naive if you think we are anywhere near getting rid of oil and gas for energy, products and industrial processes. Yes, there will come a time when it's a real minority, but that is clearly decades away. Your own handle is Fly boy for goodness sake.

  35.  @Falney  Clearly you know nothing about the National Grid and what it does. Go and do some research, then amend your comment.

  36.  @Falney  That wasn't what I was talking about, I was referring to the COST which you said the National Grid could afford "from all the profit they make" Well the National Grid doesn't generate power and it doesn't sell it. It simply distributes, transmits it and provides some of the infrastructure. Furthermore, any costs incurred in modifying the network to allow for increased electrification will si.ply be passed onto the customer. They won't do it for free.
    1
  37.  @Falney  You realise the National Grid also operates in North America? It's not a charity, it's no longer state owned and it will not upgrade the grid at zero cost to you. How naive are you? Doesn't matter if they made a trillion in profit, infrastructure is going to cost the consumer, not the company. Their profit was NOTHING like that. It was 5bn, 4.6 actually. It would have been headline news had it made 20bn given that is more than Shell, BP and Total combined. It would have caused a scandal.

  41. ​​ @EattheRich-re7kv Winter tyres are better than all year tyres when the temperature drops to 6c and below. It isn't just about snow, it's about how your tyre behaves in colder weather. I'm a Brit in Norway, and when you buy a car here, you get two sets of wheels, one set has summer tyres other winter tyres. Takes no time to change over.

  48.  @rastendaimacky208  If something is incredibly common it ceases to become newsworthy. Do you not understand how media works? Rare events make the news, or news which affects everyone. No one really cares if some London deadbeat gangs are stabbing each other. It's not of general interest. It's the same for an illegal migrant boat sinking, it happens all the time so doesn't get reported as much as a more interesting story.

  50.  @endzone13  But if you just have people who do jobs that require no skill then you don't understand business or that 60% of tax comes from 10% of people. You can't run a country on a Corbynist mentality.
