Why oh why

  1. Why are people building and using machines to pump co2 from the atmosphere
    Into the ground to react with minerals to turn it into a solid material

    What’s wrong with trees that convert it to oxygen, provide habitat and at the end of there life provide building materials and fuel that will eventually breakdown and become part of the cycle again

    I'm just watching about the deep sea mining on the news. The guy said it will cause much less disruption to the landscape and people. What about the bloody living things in/on the sea bed? What about the damage done to the ocean? How will it affect the livelihood of fishermen etc who live off the sea!

    A friend of mine was in nicuagua years ago and they went to do an interview on a U.S oil rig. The drilling had polluted the water/fishing nearby causing problems for the local indigenous people. Luckily they had provided the locals with hamburgers and cola drinks to make up for their now lack of natural food stuffs! :rolleyes:

  3. Building electric cars to run on electricity when we could just put our feet thru the bottom and run . No seriously I agree ,they’ve all gone mad .

  4. Because they're being paid to do it. It is a quite ridiculous idea.

    Trees need to breath!

  5. Jokes aside
    Bicycles will be the majority transport in the future
    We keep inventing things to get round the problem in front of us

    We fail often to question why that problem arose in the first place

  6. Not enough trees and when they die they release the carbon.
     
  7. Didn’t expect that response from you
    I was waiting for some funny tree hugging engineer shopping for quinoa type reply

    We think the worst and engineer some amazing solutions

    When the solution is simple and we could have more time to ourselves

    Slaves to necessity and necessity means money

  8. Nope, not from me. The earth obeys the laws of chemistry and physics (fortunately), not the laws of llama-hatted eco-types.

  12. That’s fine with me dude
     
  13. Do you have anything in mind?

    My groins a lot better but not 100%
    So something to stretch things out but not rip it back to shreds

    Even though that’s what would probably do my head the most good

    Nowt like to put some extreme situations in your life to allow you to see how in the grand scheme of things
    The Marmite you were worrying about doesent matter

    But I was so limited when I did my groin that drove me nuts not being able to get out running and walking

    Body’s not as young as my head thinks it is I need to strike a balance

  14. Its no longer worth worrying about it. In a world where influence is money and money is made by trashing the environment you aint got a hope. And dont blame the lunatics we put in charge blame those that put them there. Its all self regulating and as the human race declines in numbers due to that very same climate change it will have less influence. Unfortunately it will take a long time to recover with a much reduced diversity of species and habitat but im sure it will kickstart itself again probably in the distant future!
