I’m a bit conflicted about Climate Change…. In a world of 8bn people, the UK is a tiny island of, let’s say 80m people. So even if we get to net zero we will have a 1% impact. Yet China, Russia, India and the USA have a combined population of 3.38bn (42% of the world popn.) and they’re doing the opposite to help the environment and show no signs of changing tact.
Meanwhile our UK businesses have climate change taxes to adhere to that make it difficult to compete on a world stage.
However we all know Climate Change is real and it’s clear what a huge effect humans have on the earth.
Regarding cars - Quentin Willson used to tell me that driving a 10 year old car, even though the emissions may be worse from the exhaust, is far better for the environment than driving a new car, as the CO2 in making a new car is huge, even if that car is an EV, and doesn’t outweigh the used car emissions in that time….
Do you think the UK should follow suit and be more like the USA or continue being as green as possible and be a trailblazer?
