Are you concerned about the destruction of the natural world and climate change?

We don’t need new technologies, we have a proven system for carbon capture. Protect and restore habitats and the carbon will be captured. Inventing machines to pull carbon out of the air is madness.

Also, sorting out the carbon content of the atmosphere without tackling reduction of habitats, pollution and the excessive population, still means the planet will be destroyed.

No. Im not worried. I never tend to worry much about things I can do next to nothing about.

Which would just increase airfares for us plebs.

It matters in that climate change, weather whatever you want to call it isn't really anything other than a cashcow for the usual suspects, everyone from the Goldman Sachs to the Kinahans are buying windfarms , hand wringing about flooding but not allowing dredging of rivers in flood areas, moaning about sea levels but refusing to fund sea walls, telling people to sort their rubbish only for them to see the bins all going in the same truck, Green movement have fallen into the same category as the charity industry now, just a bunch of scammers trying to take people's hard earned cash

It would prompt the airlines and closed shop aircraft industry to innovate. Its time we reevaluated those whacky designs and once again have Zeppelins and maybe even Ekranoplans.

People need to see stuff being done with all the extra taxes being collected , forestry planting is at its lowest ever, windfarms need to be community owned with the profits going back into the locality, as it stands its just a money laundry for criminality

I am concerned about the habitat destruction of the Amazon, but there just is nothing someone living in Ireland can do about it. I am concerned about the discharge of plastics into the oceans, but it's mostly via rivers in Asia/India, and a couple in Africa, so nothing can be done about it. I am extremely concerned by overfishing of the oceans, but again, nothing can be done about it as there is too much financial and social pressure for it to continue, so it's a lost cause.

I am not even slightly concerned by CO2 or global warming, but even if I were, fecking around with EV and solar panel toys in Ireland is less than meaningless in the face of China's building coal fired power stations as fast as European car makers are being in chasing those EV dollars.

If you are in Ireland, there is nothing you can do, and nothing you do can make the slightest difference.

You're in the wrong thread mate.

Saw a Joanna Lumley travel show about Haiti,

Just dumping plastic on the beach,

Absolutely we dont know the full extent any changes would have. Totally agree. The gulf stream collapsing could usher in a new ice age for all I know.

As I've said before, the outcome of a sudden dramatic climatic change within my lifetime is something I'm happy to accept/face.

I enjoy seeing the world and do not wish to sacrifice my ability to fly relatively cheaply to "potentially" reduce MMCC.

I don't litter (intentionally) I've no idea what happens to the contents of my bins when they're collected. I cycled a few days a week when I was in the office. I buy local. I help clean my local park once a month and if at all possible I will switch to green energies when they're fully green and it doesn't cripple me financially.

But that's about as far as I'm willing to go personally and I don't feel the least bit guilty about it. To slightly mis-quote Drago, if we die, we die.
