Gregg, no offense, but you really need to work on your reading comprehension. You responses to me seem nonsensical in the context of my last few posts.
Not that I care, you should improve your "background" and come back to discuss.

He is right.
We have the demonstration with Audi that will propose 30 models of electric car in 2025.
Bye bye oil.
Renewable energy sources provided more electricity to UK homes and businesses than fossil fuels for the first time over the last quarter, according to new research.
The renewables record was set in the third quarter of this year after its share of the electricity mix rose to 40%.
It is the first time that electricity from British windfarms, solar panels and renewable biomass plants has surpassed fossil fuels since the UK’s first power plant fired up in 1882.
It was unfortunately predictable at term.Ooops

There is plenty of positives to be found alongside the evidence of just how bad AGW is (and is going to get).
The European Investment Bank (EIB) has balked at a proposal to halt new investments in fossil fuels, raising concerns that Germany and other nations are plotting to water down what would be one of the financial sector’s most ambitious climate moves.
The EIB, the largest public bank in the world, announced this year that it would end lending to new gas projects, having already curtailed funding for coal and oil. This would free up more money for renewable energy developments. The details of the plan were expected to be confirmed by a board meeting of EU finance ministers on Tuesday but last-minute lobbying has forced a postponement.
Executives of the bank, which is owned by EU member states, said the plan was still on course and would probably be approved next month.
“The new energy lending policy is a milestone on the EIB’s road to transform itself into the EU Climate Bank. I am pleased about the important progress made today and am confident of securing a final approval in November,” said Andrew McDowell, the EIB vice-president responsible for energy.
But climate campaigners fear the measures will be delayed further and weakened.
The governor of the Bank of England has warned that the global financial system is backing carbon-producing projects that will raise the temperature of the planet by over 4C – more than double the pledge to limit increases to well below 2C contained in the Paris Agreement.
In a stark warning over global heating, Mark Carney said the multitrillion-dollar international capital markets – where companies raise funds by selling shares and bonds to investors – are financing activities that would lift global temperatures to more than 4C above pre-industrial levels.
As long as there’s a drop of oil left under the ground, the bankers will prowl around like vultures.As expected some people still don't get it:
'Concerns as EU bank balks at plan to halt fossil fuel investments':

And there is no time to delay these kind of decisions due to concerns like these:

So while progress IS being made where it matters (in some sectors of the finnancial system), we still have a long way to go to avoid catastrophic AGW issues over the next few hundred years. We must all apply the pressure needed to make those changes faster.
Ha anyone seen Lewis Hamilton's latest outburst..... No sure how i feel about it tbh. he is championing everyone going Vegan and the fact the planet is going to crap.... and has sold his private jet!.
Now on one hand he may not be wrong and clearly he is a role model for a lot of kids so that is a good thing. OTOH his entire career he has made mega millions off is based on jet setting around the globe and driving cars essentially burning up the environment just for fun... Seems a bit hypocritical really esp as 1) he is still racing and 2) even if he wasnt, it is quite easy to take the moral high ground AFTER you have made your mega millions of £ and lived an environmentally questionable life.
I cant help it is as much a publicity stunt for a new restaurant as anything.
It is a bit like politicians lambasting private schools and wanting to get them closed AFTER they have got their qualifications and made all of their contacts........... through private schools. One one hand perhaps they are right, on the other, they are not the people i want making that decision.
Hypocrisy is strong on this planet, but I don't know if Lewis genuinely got the message. He might have, and he is a somewhat sensitive fella.
Honestly, right now I don't think there is that many people who really have realized how much up the creek we are, or that we ain't got no paddle. You see glimpses of realization but those are mostly criticized for being too pessimistic.
I recently read this essay, and I think it gets the picture. It's not a complete description of the current situation, but it includes many of the important factors, and it tries to deal with human emotions and lack of rational action as well. Be warned: It's not bedtime reading, unless you chose to ignore some of the facts.
Not excusing such errors in publications at all... however perhaps it is because you are not native English that you spot these things.Deep KNOWLEGE - why is that in such doomsday publications, I keep finding basic grammar errors? In the title sequence of all, and I'm not even native English...
If they can't even get their basic grammar straight, it has to make you wonder how they're doing on the science.Deep KNOWLEGE - why is that in such doomsday publications, I keep finding basic grammar errors? In the title sequence of all, and I'm not even native English...

These people are raging hypocrites who have room only for confirmation bias in their minds. I've been repeating that point since I entered the discussion.It's not OK to quote RT. But it's OK to post a piece of garbage that only has links to scientific papers to make a depressed borderline lunatic persons' views look scientific.
Because you shoot the messenger?Deep KNOWLEGE - why is that in such doomsday publications, I keep finding basic grammar errors? In the title sequence of all, and I'm not even native English...
Unquestionably an hypocrite here.Ha anyone seen Lewis Hamilton's latest outburst..... No sure how i feel about it tbh. he is championing everyone going Vegan and the fact the planet is going to crap.... and has sold his private jet!.
