You lot need to catch up......just sayin!
There's just something very wrong about eating a genetically modified soil mould with a name like 'strain PTA-2684' artificially grown in large, sterile fermentation tanks, then textured and manipulated to appear as something it really isn't, I decided some time ago I wouldn't be eating anything beginning with Q. It's almost as bad as Linda McCartney's vegan pseudo meat products. Now if products beginning with Q were presented as spaceman food in tablet form, that may be a little easier to swallow?Nope. We can do fungus meat now. Cull the cows. Job jobbed!
I have a small 'Aquaponics' Installation at home currently dismantled and relocating to a bigger shed, but I think you're right, the way things are going we are going to need another WW or start growing vertically in a big way.Being serious, the future is definitely hydroponics. Dunno about EVs though.
Cows burping is the main problem - they deliver more methane out of that end than the other.
Allegedly MB have announced that all MB's will be Electric from 2039. There will be no more Petrol or Diesel engines

Always happy to take one for the team, you know meIt's the early adopters I salute, those pioneers blinding heading towards a dead end so the rest of us don't have to
Culling really appeals some mornings....So, us "Europeans" can feel justifiably smug about our Co2 emissions, while the villains are the Americans, Chinese and Indians.
As feeling smug doesn't fix the problem as it stands, who is going to hold the big stick over the heads of the gross polluters?
Asking them nicely hasn't worked out too well in the past, and that was when their respective leaders were relatively sane.... Some earth-shattering event will need to happen before "certain" nations are forced to change their ways.
Alternatively, cull 80% of the worlds population and the remaining 20% can live in a completely irresponsible manner with no significant ill-effects on the planet.
Seriously, it really does come down to population control, so good luck with that....
I'll be ashes by then.
No, it doesn’t. All indications point to the global population hitting around 11bn and then rapidly shrinking. Either way, given current trends of development of agritech, that is sustainable.So, us "Europeans" can feel justifiably smug about our Co2 emissions, while the villains are the Americans, Chinese and Indians.

I’ve always wondered how much of it actually exists.I've often wondered how much of global warming can be attributed to green house gases and how much to radiated heat. Everyone knows cities are 2-3 degrees warmer than rural areas outside.
Currently CO2 etc are generated as a result of creating that radiated heat which makes me wonder if CO2 is the effect as opposed to the cause (at least in part).
I always find London hotter, all the AC plants pumping out heat for one - plus there's loads of "hot air" in the smokeI’ve always wondered how much of it actually exists.
That’s the Urban Heat Island Effect you’re on about...
Solar roof tiles are under active development, I know of several businesses heavily into this tech.If gas heating is being banned by 2025 on new builds why aren't they making the installation of Solar Panels mandatory on new builds or better still, developing solar roof tiles further.

The long and short of it is that electric heating is now cheaper than gas due to the national level investment in wind & solar.
