Well, Fuck.
Another thing we somewhat agree on. Although, I suspect from vastly different perspectives, considering I'm in the Margaret Thatcher school of thought:
"The new dogma about climate change has swept through the left-of-centre governing classes."
...
"provides a marvellous excuse for worldwide, supra-national socialism".
Not to mention I've got textbooks from the 1970s and 1980s making all sorts of dire predictions, All that were derived by the same statistical, predictive and experimental methodologies that produced the current 'Climate Crisis' figures and all turned out to be wrong
The most frustrating thing is whilst I'm a dyed-in-the-wool capitalist:
Would I like to see less Plastics - Yes, Go invent something Bio-degradeable that does all the things (or some of the things) that Plastic Does.
Would I like to see more Green Energy - Yes, Go figure out how to make tidal flow generators that consistently work and don't break in a Storm.
Would I like to see more Electric Vehicles - Yes, Constant torque all throughout the rev range - Go invent battery technology or a system that can recharge in the same time it takes to refuel.
Give me a better alternative and like the Capitalist I am, I'll use that. Give me some piss weak alternative that works like shit but you try to prop up with 'but muh environment' and I'll tell you to fuck off.
