It’s an issue on which a 92-year-old David Attenborough and 16-year-old Greta Thunberg agree. (Subscribe: https://bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe)
An issue with existential consequences – both for the future of life on Earth and the future of our lifestyles.
Now, the UK’s climate change committee wants us to achieve a zero carbon target by 2050, with all the sweeping sacrifices that entails. Others want us to do it much sooner. But even if the UK achieves it, what about China and the USA, the world’s biggest polluters?

As long as China and India exist we still fucked
Meanwhile Germany are undertaking huge coal mining operations and the media is very silent.
What is carbon footprint of a torn down home? The actual detritus and power to take it away…, what is carbon footprint of new building materials, what's the carbon footprint of building a green house? What's the carbon footprint of miracle power source?
I can't really think of any country in the developed world that's done nearly as much to reduce emissions as much as Britain has, taking the next step though requires careful planning .. while slowing down climate change certainly is important, if sweeping changes are made haphazardly it's going to have an unacceptable impact on the general public and the economy. Fracking can be addressed now, much of the other issues raised will realistically take much longer.
Money, it's a gas
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash
Britain gave up Christianity and embraced "Climatology". No one knows anything about the science but they sure do have faith.
Renewable energy isn't cost free to the environment you far left hippies, solar panels and wind turbines require the materials to be mined from the earth, transported and then replaced and disposed of, if you're serious about worrying about climate change the only logical answer is nuclear, of course these cultists are illogical.
Our atmosphre has only just over 8 CO2 and almost 7% of that is naturally occurring means Global warming is a myth. All This is scaremongering to sell products that cost more money to the consumer.
Controlling Carbon Dioxide is a totally pointless activity proposed by a bunch of scientifically and technologically illiterate politicians. If one ignores the rantings of hypocrites like the Green's and propaganda from organizations like BBC and also the writings scientifically illiterate reporters employed by Mainstream Media and goes directly to the scientific papers one will find that the dominant greenhouse gas in the terrestrial atmosphere is water vapor not carbon dioxide. It is difficult to exactly allocate a specific portion of the greenhouse effect to a particular gas. But as a approximation 90 percent is due to water vapor and 10 percent due to carbon dioxide is good starting point. All the disruption to peoples lives and the UK economy that reducing carbon dioxide emissions to zero would entail is just not worth it. It is just stupid pointless virtue signalling. The UK is only responsible for approximately 1 percent of world carbon dioxide emissions.
The consumer shouldn't pay for their new boiler u div were asking the govorment to pay for them for the people under a certain uncome as thst is what's REQUIRED. Not rocket science.
So what about china and India 🤔we all live in a green house dont we 🤣🤣
Gummer "can't do it" but Britain can by reading my 100% Renewable Energy Blog.

no aeroplanes = blue sky ,plant more trees.
2050 don’t be stupid we will all be dying or dead. There is no way back after 2025 really I’m not an extremist
Need create new university of green energy, university of bio fuel, university of energy effective materials and new town designs. It is big industry. On the construction possible to use local materials for develop own economy.
In order to stop the global warming all the countries in the world need to work together otherwise it makes no sense … You will shutdown polluting factory in UK they will move to the country without these laws and they will export to UK creating as much pollution as they want, what's the point ??
Humans need to reduce rubbish and polutants absolutly but water is a heat conducter and when we have 65-70% ocean cover, good look stopping the tide kanute! we need to stop immigration of 3rd worlders breading like rabbits and increasing food production demands and as a result, increasing polution producing by-products and rubbing out native conservitive breading european populations that till post globalistic e.u migration laws enjoyed a relitivly peacfull harmonic cultures and security for life and finance. the chinese are heavy poluters but want to build entire cities in european countries like Belarus using the latest low carbon tech- they are knocking an entire ancient forrest down to build it! facepalm.
so a thousand people in the uk don't drive a car for a week, give up smoking cigarettes & put all plastic waste into a bin.
then suddenly britain tests a nuclear weapon, sends fighter jets to syria & cannabis is legalised, which wipes out all those good intentions.
if britain scraps trident & makes smoking cannabis illegal, it will be making a stand for climate change.

The Real answer NO NO its not going to happen this is appeasement politics kick to can down the road or just simply lies lies and more lies when are the people of this country going to wake up, the politicians are liars always have been and if we let them always will. The real dumb thing is a large part of are population in the UK continue to believe them and all they say. The railway executives have informed there managers to travel by AIR because its cheaper !!!!!!!!!. and where having a new runway at Heathrow why because where going to gave less flights ??????? and there are more and more PETROL cars on the roads together with larger and larger HGV s. As you can see its all going in the right direction . The London congestion zone and low emission zone are simply another tax its still congested its still has high levels of pollution. Parliament an institution not fit for purpose and not working in the public-interest . Vote them OUT for ever.
Funny we can always find money for more bombs!
There are no solutions to the problem, simple as that really. If you wanted to stop environmental pollution
Affecting the climate then the industrial revolution should never have occurred, and we are nearly 200 years too late
For that, and it may be that humans should never have left the Stone Age, and we are thousands of years too late for
That. Going back to a pre industrial, Stone Age Society is impossible, and people should acknowledge that.
All forms of energy, have their drawbacks, even renewables like wind and energy.
We are told we must radically change our lifestyle and reduce vastly our standard of living, but even if we could do this,
And that is highly doubtful to say the least, it will take a lot longer than 30 years, 300 years may be more realistic,
And even that is not certain.
Most of our environmental problems will take hundreds of years to solve and of course by then it will be too late,
And even now it may be too late already.
Of course, I hope to be totally wrong, but I believe the destruction of humanity is inevitable, and has been inevitable
For a very long time now. Either climatic changes or a nuclear war, with the world still awash with thousands of nuclear weapons,
And the number apparently set to INCREASE, will kill humanity off. It is only a question of which one it will be, maybe a combination
Of the two, and when.
Sorry, by all means try, but a zero carbon economy may never be practically possible.
Meanwhile China keeps building coal fire power plants.
UK governments are not interested, simple. Grants are axed left right and centre, there is no stimulus to make your house more efficient.
Councils have no knowledge to help the people living in their area to make necessary steps.
Other European countries are incredibly more pro active when it comes to building and upgrading housing stock.
Only the poor will suffer and no food to eat…
It is all very well the government saying all cars must be electric but what if you cannot afford it, our family have two cars, gas central heating (with a log burner as backup) and live week to week. It is okay for these rich kids who don't seem to have to go to work to protest but what about us "normal" people.
Zero carbon is another way of saying mass population cull for the new world order.
No? Co2 isn't killing the world.
Communists..
Why would we want to? What are plants going to eat? Global warming is a massive scam. Proved over & over again. Ice is 50% thicker than they claim. And still here after countless claims we will never see snow again. Islands are growing not sinking. Climate change is cyclic and predictable & nothing to do with man – everything to do with the sun. This is ALL about money and the power to lock you down. See agenda 2030. These watermelon 🍉 communists have to be stopped.
Time for a rethink to stop before spending our money we can ill afford, it's a nonsense and I'm surprised so called intelligent people are falling for it, scientists have not proved that man made carbon emissions are contributing to an earth average temperature that has not moved for the last 20 years.
It’s almost like we need a Green Industrial Revolution…
Channel 4 had an excellent video proving it is a lie…no longer available on YT, reminds me of Hitler burning books…he who controls information rules the world.
ANSWER = NO
U GOT MY THIMBS DOWN VOTE
