This is basic physics.<br /><br />I agree with you that nuclear is the only practical solution. <br /><br />I think some Greens would prefer a return to the Neolithic. It is the dream of the "Noble Savage" and William Morris's mediaevalism. I suspect these people were bad at maths and science subjects at school.<br /><br />As for "global cooling for 2018" -- that's weather, not climate. Climate is the running average over ten or fifteen years, not one year.<br /><br />Don CoxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-58898676604318281042018-01-03T16:37:52.536+00:002018-01-03T16:37:52.536+00:00Climate change, did you say, Nick?

They’re all just communist parasites as far as I can tell, more interested in Islam than Christianity. <br /><br />Anyhoo... if “climate change” was real (it isn’t, other than natural variability which has always been with us) the only suitable answer would be nuclear, the other possibility in the absence of fossil fuels being a return to the Neolithic.

Soon after his sentence for perverting the course of justice,he was appointed Europe manager of Zilkha Biomass Energy,the company making wood chip pellets in the USA, selling them as green energy around the world. Subsidies for wood pellets,have cost the UK taxpayer at least £400 million pounds in subsidised power stations burning American wood pellets. <br />There is of course no suggestion (cough cough) that Huhne's work in sustainable energy has in any way been connected with his former position as UK energy and climate change secretary.<br /><br />HNY to all !<br /><br /><br /><br />david morrisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-86425884480713957032018-01-03T13:54:38.654+00:002018-01-03T13:54:38.654+00:00Given the farce with diesel emissions, just who ar...Given the farce with diesel emissions, just who are these "experts" the government uses.<br /><br />You'd almost think our elected politicians are self-serving pressure group fodder, lapping up any nonsense in the hope of a big payoff at the end.<br /><br />Cough, cough ...

Did anyone ever sit down and work out how much energy it would take to ship wood from the US and chop it up into pellets before burning it? <br /><br />It's the waste and pollutants I find abhorrent more than CO2; air quality has deteriorated since everyone installed woodburners. On a cold day you can smell it. Gas has to be the cleanest fuel apart from renewables.<br /><br />Please don't let them suggest burning plastic waste now that China (quite rightly) decided not to take ours any more.
