Climate change... Much ado about nothing?

Now sort by "per capita"

...and if you sort by 1yr growth %age, UK is top of the reductions.

What, the 1% one...? <grin>

I'm guessing you meant that the UK's not doing too badly on emission targets?
Indeed.
But that was 2016.

They fell by 13% from 2019 to 2022, down to 478m, instead of 376m in 2016.

I suspect some accounting complexity there, because that sounds like a large increase.

Great, so all we need is a mahoosive cost-of-living crisis, leading to a plummet in consumer spending, and we'll drop even further!

I wonder if there might be any contributory factor between 2019 and 2022?

OK 

IMHO we need to do several things

1) better insulate UK property, Mine is not brilliantly insulated and has solid stone walls, Ive used 4,100 kWh of gas since mid October, tracking back Its about 7,500 for the last year. that is about 33% below the UK average.

2)  Teach people how to use gas boilers, my usage is down 20% or more, over the last 2 years, I have the return flow ( as indicated on the gauge on the boiler) at 55, yes it takes a little longer to warm up but because at 55 the condensing boiler condenses it runs cheaper. On average my boiler which is rated at 28kWh is modulating down to 7.5kWh.

3) stop heating the street I went for a walk earlier I can see plumes of steam coming from boiler exhausts and the same houses have windows open. One of my neighbours only wears shorts and tee shirts in the house because they have the thermostat at 25 degrees.

4) stop the greenwashing of electricity, the majority of people in the UK are on tariffs that are "green", but we still get 45% or more from gas most of the time, your supplier supplies from the grid, if 40% is generated from gas 40% of what you are using is coming from gas, you are not only getting green electrons.

5) invest in storage, and encourage individuals to do it. at the moment I charge my battery overnight at 7.5P and that keeps me going most of the day,

6) stop the BS about hydrogen, burning FF to create electricity to make hydrogen is not green.

7) stop wasting food especially meat 

8) encourage / Subsidise rooftop solar, and pay a decent rate for export, even the best are paying 1/3 of what a unit costs the worst are paying as little as 1 or 2P per kWh, 

Spent the weekend in our motorhome at a new site in braemar.
They now supply hook up via a pre loaded electric payment card.

We run fridge lights diesel heater( start up is heavy) and we used 43p in 2 days.

Well chuffed.

if you damage the road they are likely to be after you  more usually your insurer (obviously not roadworks that is fixing the damage). Deliberately stopping traffic I don't know. but I hope the people who did it get prosecuted, and fined for the disruption. Maybe individuals who got held up could sue if they missed appointments, were late picking up children, etc, I hope so! 

Lots of reasons, most of which are not an offence.  Obstructing the King's Highway is an offence, and yes there are victims.  Good on the police, I say.  About time these anarchists were made accountable.
