We have all seen the news recently regarding the increasing threats from global warming, so what is going to change following the UN climate summit in Glasgow this November, maybe a list of promises to do something one day but I doubt very little else because in reality what can they do. To make a big change will require an immediate ban on all fossil fuels and crude oil /gas extraction, come on let's be realistic as who can or would support such an action because it means winding down economies and telling people what to do, no more flying for a holiday. This pandemic taught us that governments will try and protect their economy at all cost because it provides the revenue to do anything, and that people do not follow guidance so now what. We no longer have time on our side because we have been to lethargic to react and instead of spending money on technology and ways to save the planet we spend millions on ways to destroy each other and too much time looking at making money at the expense of others, so as they say all good things must come to an end.
The government is not looking at the bigger picture and is just being way to slow with change. They know house building standards do not meet the needs of the future, yet there are thousands of sub standard sheds being built that will be around for the next fifty years, surely things that are longer term problems should have been addresed by now as they are all just contributing to the changes.
So in the Uk, no more ICE vehicles from 2030 and a transition to EV, not the magic cure because the UK is not a large contributor to greenhouse gasses, look at Asia where the population is booming with huge demands for power that cannot be met with just renewables, without coal how do they keep the lights on and industry going.
Given the timescales what can come out of that climate summit apart from a lot more hot air just adding to the problem, they all know what has to be done but who is willing to impose such drastic change on their country first, measures like birth control and reducing available choice of goods, basically a massive impact to our way of living.
