The problem with all this environmental propaganda bolox is that it all depends who you listen to. I personally think that Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" and Channel 4's " The Great Global Warming Swindle" should both be compulsory viewing in schools. For my 2 penneth I agree that climate change is a naturally occurring and cycling phenomenon, but have no doubt at all that the upsurge of industry and technology and subsequent rape of the planet that's occurred over the last 200 years or so, coupled with an ever increasing global population is certainly contributing to the problem, and making the current cycle the most extreme yet.
Anyway, as far as cars go. Hybrid is bolox, have you seen the carbon footprint of a toyota prius? Mostly due to the production and later disposal of it's batteries.
Electric cars? Batteries again! But also where do you get the power from to recharge it? The coal fired power station down the road? Unless the owner has their own windfarm they should be shot!
Consumption of any oil based fuel is going to be a problem, not so much the emissions any more but the depletion of the resource.
Bio fuels? OK it'd solve the depletion of natural resources problem, but the world will never be able to grow enough crops to make all the fuel it needs.
Then there's the added problem that just as the developed world is realising what we've done to the place and starting to address it, the developing world is just starting their own rape of the planet. What, are we supposed to try and stop those less fortunate than ourselves from improving their lives in case their actions "damage" the planet? That would be really humanitarian wouldn't it (and it is going on!)?
The word of the day is "Sustainability".
I reckon we're screwed
Right, I'm gonna buy a 20 year old V8 landrover and tear up some countryside....
