OT Corrupt BBC at it again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the kind of reply that displays your ceiling. You think you're uber intelligent and have all the answers. You don't.

I never said we shouldn't bother. What I've intimated from my first and subsequent posts is suggest we shouldn't be at the forefront of green technology when all the major powers are not. I've said in previous comments that current technology is not as green as they would like you to believe.

I advocate following the leading powers. I advocate monetising our oil reserves and whatever other means to ensure the country remains a leading economy. I checked how my tax is distributed recently. In 2021, 4.2% was allocated to paying off interest on the national debt. Last tax year it was over 11%. We're going bankrupt if you ask me. When the proper technology is upon us to combat climate change we won't have pot to p!ss in.

I read a couple of days ago, Elon Musk has just come out and said humans won't need to work in 20 years time. The USA, China, Russia etc already know what technology lies around the corner. I don't believe climate change is a work of fiction but I'm not going to fret over it.




Look at AI. It's been here 5 minutes:

'AI has already been used to discover new antibiotics, and experts believe it can accelerate the process significantly. Researchers are using AI to design new compounds and screen vast databases of molecules, with recent successes including designing potential antibiotics against drug-resistant bacteria like MRSA and gonorrhoea.'

I've never even begun to say I have all the answers - just pointing out that people who are trying to state a fact which is wrong isn't a sign of intelligence. It's a sign of not being gullible. This is an area, just one area, that I've spent a lot of time reading around and staying on top of. That's not me being intelligent, it's just being informed, and able to call out when people decide to try and pass *******s off as facts.

Much of what you say here is true, or at least I get where you are coming from. It isn't correct to say that China, USA and even India are not at the forefront of developing green technologies, they simply are, well ahead of us. But I agree with you that they are still a long, long way to offsetting their continued relience on fossil fuels which is a different albeit related issue. So yes, we could resume digging and hope for a shorter term cash boost from this, but considering the time taken to reset this up as well as impact on our own emissions vs fast emerging green infrastructures becoming increasingly affordable I think that even this action is far from certain to have the economic impact you're after, even in the shorter term.

Can AI find a cure for Millibanditis ?

Maybe. See comment above re gonorrhea.

I've not said that China and other big powers are not at the forefront of green power development.

If I have, it's not what I'm getting at.

"What I've intimated from my first and subsequent posts is suggest we shouldn't be at the forefront of green technology when all the major powers are not."

I think I get your point though. They are still too committed to fossil fuels to maximise short term income and I can't argue with that other than say China's emissions are slowing and the USA were moving in the right direction until Trump came along! It's slow, slow progress and I concede that you and animal are both correct in that it comes at a considerable cost to us in the here and now.

When we were selling our last house we had a couple living in Switzerland and he worked in the lab that detected the pollutants that affected the Ozone layer.
He said at the time that there was a surge in chinas production and use of filler foam that was the biggest thing effecting the Ozone layer.

Apart from that there were no problem or holes in the layer.

As Howdy has suggested. The future problem will be solved with new technologies.

Taking the CO2 out of the air affects everything apparently. It is said to be the gas of life.

Certainly new technologies have been invested in to combat a none existing problem! Every scientist gets money for a report that denounces CO2.

I am sure that you could get a grant saying that by extending the foreskins of elephants reduces CO2 you would de entitled to a grant.

And note nobody sacked yet for the Panorama fiasco which tells you that the video manipulation was a direct instruction and not a mistake. Somebody following orders to do it
