Global warming

Fact is if Elon started paying scientists to say we need to get off the planet so we need to invest in his rockets, they would sign to his tune.

All scientific theories are open to testing. ALL.

Lets just look at Big Oil. To bring Oil from the ME you need to pay for security, deal with local militia, deal with ME versions of Trumps, and deal with constant wars. That is all aside from the actual logistics and permits to get the oil into their country.

or

So lets look at their alternative. We use wind farms, hydro stations, nuke stations, solar etc. Now we dont have the threats as outlined about. Instead we have an easier way to have a constant supply of electricity without geo politics.

Doesnt the second option sound a lot easier and cheaper? Let me ask this. Has Electricity costs gone up or down despite green energy popping up in western countries? The costs for the company have reduced and the cost for the consumer has gone up.

Look at our recycling in Ireland. We pay private bin companies. We then decide that we want to bring in bring back service. So instead of having a bin in your house, you now have to go to a shop and use a machine which is constantly powered up and uses ink. They claim that this is the environmentally friendly way to do it. The bin company initially charge you. The government then charge you a "deposit" and now the bin company want to put up the initial price to compensate them for no longer profiting from plastic bottles. This is one of many many many "environmentally friendly" schemes that is suppose to save the planet.

As I said, I am not a Global warming denier. It exists. Of course it did. But if we all on Boards decided to hire out a jet and go globe trotting tomorrow, it wouldnt make the slightest difference to the climate. Afterall NASA talks all about global warming while sending rockets into space. But god forbid you want to go on holiday once a year after working your a** off.

I gave my reasoning on what I said regarding aerosols. I never said we are using more CFC's than the 90's. I said we are using more Aerosols than the 90's. That is fact. CFC's were replaced by alternatives which apparently still cause harm. Albeit "not as harmful". Im sure in 10 or 20 years they will tell us that those are now really dangerous and replace it with a new patent……………. sorry I mean product.

As I said I made my point above. If you want to call it out, work away. But you cant because the maths add up.

20 years ago they told us to start using diesel cars as they were better for the environment. Fact is its actually cheaper to produce diesel than petrol. That is the real reason they told us to start using diesel. Not that it was better for the environment like they claimed.

I mean you dont even have to try hard to see this stuff……………. Nobody hides it

I love the idea of renewable energy.

For example I put up Christmas (and even Halloween) light on the outside of the house every year. They are nearly all solar powered. I hope to have them fully solar by next year (I make some changes each year). It makes energy costs cheaper for me. Thats my reasoning for it.

I also have the washing machine and dryer both in the shed. I am hoping that in a couple of years I can install solar panels and storage unit in the shed. This will again reduce my reliance on paid for electricity. I can then look at getting better out door lights that will be powered by the shed.

Water conservation is also a great way to take care of plants and cleaning windows, garden furniture etc.

There are loads of things people can do to be more environmentally friendly but none of the above give companies a bill each week.

I find it insane that the likes of Energia have the cheek to claim they give you 100% green energy yet charge you the same price that other non green energy companies charge.

If we all agreed that we should use renewable energy and water conservation, then there is nothing wrong with it. Thats good. But most* of the Global warming message is put out there with a view to monetisation.
