Can you tell us why you believe the Lancet on this? After all you've just cogently explained that they're full of shit on Climate change, so clearly they can't be relied on.David in Gwent wrote: ↑Thu Apr 25, 2024 1:25 pm Global Warming can't be avoided, it's a natural process.

I've imagined him as alexander the meerkat in compare the market adverts wandering around pointing at things going simples. In this case he has pointed at declining birthrates and climate change and gone simples. Anyone genuinely trying to engage is playing the role of Sergei.epwc wrote: ↑Thu Apr 25, 2024 2:07 pmFair enough, you sound like you know what you're talking aboutDavid in Gwent wrote: ↑Thu Apr 25, 2024 1:25 pm Global Warming can't be avoided, it's a natural process.

Me on this threadClimate change is a major issue for the Maldives. As an archipelago of low-lying islands and atolls in the Indian Ocean, the existence of the Maldives is severely threatened by sea level rise. By 2050, 80% of the country could become uninhabitable due to global warming
The development of four new airports will be complete next year, according to Maldives Transport and Contracting Company (MTCC)’s CEO Adam Azim.
Glad you appreciate us, I'm truly humbled
There was me worrying that there was something you weren't an expert on. Phew.David in Gwent wrote: ↑Thu Apr 25, 2024 3:46 pm If you lads actually truly believe that going Net Zero in Western Europe will help us avoid "Climate Change" then I can only applaud your gullibility
It's an unstoppable force but it's going to be used to control every single facet of your lives. On the one hand you're going to get your kicks from separating your rubbish (before it's shipped off and burned) and pretending that most of the electricity that charges your EV doesn't come from fossil fuels whilst on the other hand you're going to try and ignore that China are knocking up a Coal Mine or two every week.
You're going to believe that eating insects will actually change the weather. You're all wonderful and brave.
It is impressive. The total absence of any nuance at all and the wild extrapolation. I do like China knocking up coal mines. I guess Europe is busy buggering wind turbines and the French are getting freaky with nuclear powerSlick wrote: ↑Thu Apr 25, 2024 4:38 pmThere was me worrying that there was something you weren't an expert on.

And adding VAT to the tickets (though because it's technically 'public transport', the rules don't allow for that). At least there should be a levy on business class tickets.
As the grid gets smarter, EVs get more common, and home batteries too, it'll smoothen out the grid really well. The batteries and inverter I have for my solar, could easily fit in a small cupboard. Very easily in the loft. OK, massive apartment blocks would struggle to get enough batteries to supply them for the day etc, but the tech is improving fast, and a smaller battery of 5kwh or so, is likely rapidly getting to a stage where it could comfortably fit in most places. Might not supply a whole days energy, but would easily be enough to smooth out the wrinkles etc.
Over a year 85% of my electricity came from solar and battery combination. Over winter I charged my house battery off peak enough so it wouldn't run out.Raggs wrote: ↑Mon Apr 29, 2024 9:19 pmAs the grid gets smarter, EVs get more common, and home batteries too, it'll smoothen out the grid really well.

EVs can not sure how many chargers support it. I charge house battery 1st off solar then the car.epwc wrote: ↑Tue Apr 30, 2024 10:29 am Most newer EVs can also be plugged in to your domestic supply to balance out loads in the way you're describing.
Obviously regs should reflect the reality of our future, any new house built that has off road parking should be required to have at least one charging port and also Vehicle To Load capabilities.
But understanding shit that makes sense hasn't been this government's forte.
We're going with an architect who did some work for previous owners as he knows the house and the original surveys etc are complete.

I was reminded of this post just now.
Two friends, one living in Newcastle, one in Birmingham, apparently met in Malaga because it was cheaper than getting the train. One return ticket on the train was priced at £105, two return flights, one from Newcastle, one from Birmingham, to Malaga came in at £75.

My son and girlfriend were coming home after inter rail holiday in Europe. Flight from somewhere in Italy to Edinburgh was too expensive so flew to Copenhagen spent 12 hours there then flew back to Edinburgh - two flights were considerably cheaper than one!Begbie wrote: ↑Fri May 03, 2024 8:28 amI know one of them.

Another example was a few years ago we were flying to South Carolina for golf holiday Edinburgh - Heathrow - Charlotte - Myrtle Beach. Got amazingly cheap price c£550 return from Edinburgh. Called our two mates in England who were going to join up on same flights but from Heathrow - they were quoted £1,100 return for two less flights! Something to do with computer algorithms according to BA. They ended up getting cheap flights to Edinburgh for c£85 return and saved themselves c£500! Mad!
