UK is currently (21:22 GMT) getting 31.04% of power from wind. Guess how much from solar? ;)

Discontinue that ride in the 4x4 to school, discontinue the skiing trip and the package holiday, walk, cycle and public transport everywhere, no more MacDonalds and see what they say then?

Politically speaking; strategically, taking care of the environments is a total waste of time & money; simply because on one hand, it'd take much more than 10 years to make the world a better place to live in and on the other hand; most of the politicians may not remain in power for 10 or more years!

So AFTER they no longer are in power; WHO CARES?

The sad part of all their desires of doing something good for the reduction of CO2 into the atmosphere when natural increases far exceed our comprehension to scientifically understand. Furthermore, the huge carbon imprint by China and India far out shadow any well intended attemps by schoolchilden or politicians.

Globalists fly in their private jets while telling the the world that we must change our ways to conform to their agenda. Carbon trading credits is all a part of Wall Street's plan to profit on this artificial hoax and children are being ruthlessly manipulated.

@TV, Chicureo
They might be more willing to do that than you think. And there are schoolchildren in China and India too. But perhaps you'd prefer a technological solution?

Ignoring the 'globalists' and environmentalists, how much do you know about the science behind it all, Chicureo?

When you preach a lie to the children while they are young, they start to believe anything you want to weaponize their young impressionable minds..

That doesn't only apply to kids. Plenty of adults will believe all kinds of nonsense if it comes from a source they trust.
