Absolutely retired!
And good for him - he is a voice which will be heard; whether or not he can precipitate action remains to be seen, but he can only help.
I don't think they really care..They are only interested in filling their pockets with obscene amounts of money and living for today..by the time the shit does hit the fan in a major way..they'll all be dead and gone..What he is saying is don't put things off any more. Real change has to happen now. It's interesting how many right wing governments from Trump to Australia and Brazil are against believing in climate change.
Nice idea Richard..however, the sheep need a shepherd..and as long there is still oil to be drawn from the planet..in other words, obscene amounts of money, what you propose will have an extremely slim and probably no chance of happening.Good Evening All,
Does everything have to be left to governments? The case has already been made that wind turbines are being installed in the US despite Trump being less than 100% supportive.
It's no use everybody looking to somebody else to do something, every single one of us can and should/ must do something. Frankly I despair of a very large part of the population and that will probably include some who post on this forum.
For the record we run:-
1. a GSHP
2. a solar ET hot water system
3. a solar PV system + battery storage + Immersun
4. all our white goods are a minimum A+
5. we use an induction hob
6. we run a Renault ZOE (OK so we also have Skoda Fabia but certain aspects of our lives require a vehicle with great range)
My wife, youngest son and myself will be flying on holiday once this year BUT I have declared that this is the last year I will fly for leisure (flying to and from work goes with my employment).
I have also, most recently, imposed a one day a week meat free day on myself.
Regards
Richard

And in Hell. It’s well hot there.I don't think they really care..They are only interested in filling their pockets with obscene amounts of money and living for today..by the time the shit does hit the fan in a major way..they'll all be dead and gone..
If I has stopped to think in my twenties & thirties about how the world looks now, I would not have had children. I don't like to think about what they are going to have deal with. Not having children might be sensible until humanity runs itself out. Life will survoce, continue and develop and change without us and it might be something else entirely that crawls off this planet towards the stars one day.
