on population and climate, if you believe that the climate is affected by humans that is your prerogative .
i do not, but if humans are responsible for the change then fiddling with such things as carbon capture is useless, then, so why spend £22 billion on a fantasy scheme.
have you never noticed how to solve any problem devised by experts, it always cost hundreds of billion, as the experts on covid got so wrong and cost us dearly. but they do keep themselves in work.
on stopping all meat production, you mean just in the western nations, other nations in the third world will not wipe out their domestic animals or those considered to be part of their religion . and in africa and asia cattle are the farmers main source of family wealth.
we have a government right now that wants to build on our best agricultural land, building their 1.5 million homes will never solve the problem if we keep importing more people to house on a yearly basis, you can never catch up.
luton for example has 85000 homes with a population of around 250.000, we took in nearly 3 times the population of luton in one year. rayner says she will build and additional 90,000 homes per year, so for the nest 5 years labour will have to build 2.5 luton's annually just to house immigrants.
some say that we have large areas of unused land. well they should take a look at how much of that unused land is suitable for. 1. building on 2, useable for agriculture. looking at a topographical map of the uk will show you large areas of the country are unsuitable for housing or arable farming
the best arable land is used for crops , poorer land is used for cattle, hilly land is used for sheep, you will not grow wheat etc on the side of welsh or scottish hills and mountains or along the pennines. and no one wants to live there.
so simply building on the flattest land , will leave less land to grow the arable crops, so you import more food at a time when they also predict world wide food and water shortages, globally. and meat is part of an healthy diet by the way.
as an example the population of the indian sub-continent during world war 2 was 384 million.
then that included india/****stan and bangladesh to day the population of india alone is 1.454 billion
population of ****stan 251 million.
population of bangladesh 173 million
so now the population of the indian sub-continent is just under 2billion from 384 million in 75years and the growth is exponential the same applies to africa, the far east and the middle east. and they all want what everyone else has.
slaughtering cattle, carbon capture wind turbines etc will sort nothing out.
but it will transfer our wealth, just not amongst us.
but if you wish to believe some researcher in a university making money from grants that is up to you. for how many more decades have thousands of researchers world wide got to study the climate, if they already now the problem and the answers.
