A nice heart warming story of a rescue from blizzard conditions by an evil 4x4 SUV ilk Not an uncommon story for Scotland despite the alarmist climate emergency.

Do you really believe that a battery rescue car would have made it, and the motorists sitting in their car for some hours trying to keep warm on a battery charge would not have lasted long.

There's talk of another three years lopped off the ICE ban date. It's pretty academic really as what ICE car will attain an average fleet mpg of 93mpg/US gallon in 2030? https://www.fleetnews.co.uk/news/fle...-start-in-2032

Here is a good source for exposing the climate change fraud. Link to the full paper is given towards the end.

It concludes, like everyone should know, that climate is driven by the sun, ultimately, and that human effect on climate is hardly noticeable.

When I accidentally 26 Tons of diesel into the sea, I was told by my boss "Dont Worry, its a big sea and a big sky"

Luckily I am now 35 and have no kids or plans too, so I don't give a NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD- about the future, I have no vested interest!

Regards

Barry

The trouble is it says human activity has little effect on the climate.

The next thing we'll hear is that plastic pollution of the oceans means nothing in the long term.

The article says it found climate changers occurred naturally but over many years. Our present changes seem at the speed of light in comparison.-

I guess only the passing of time will tell us who is right or wrong.

I just hope it's not too late by then.----

The trouble about pollution from fossil fuels that they took millions of years for nature to produce them and about 5 minutes for us lot to use them up.---

Got to be a bit of imbalance there somewhere. --Even Nature with these odd fires has never done that so fast.--

Just to give you a perspective, how much fossil fuel do you think leaches out naturally from the earths surface including the seabed in a year ?

Also what about all the Volcanoes? Apparently there are 20 erupting at any single time around the world .

Most vehicle emissions are quite clean, there was a report a few years ago that in some cities what comes out of the exhaust of most modern cars is cleaner than goes in the air cleaner.

The problem is there are to many of us all polluting a bit, 7 billion little bits adds up to a lot.
