I'm all for trying to avoid as much pollution as possible, but not to the extent of bankrupting ourselves. Green issues seem to have taken over and we can't afford to keep going greener and greener, so lets keep everything in perspective.
For instance, electric cars are just not sustainable, you'd need 2 cars - one for every day and another for long runs no matter how many electric charge points are available.
Imagine needing to dash to an elderly relative's emergency and finding the car didn't have enough charge!

I’m not a climate change denier, I’ve just got the intelligence to see what is happening to this country.
Climate change has been happening for millions of years, it’s a natural phenomenon. Do some research.

If you are talking to me , you are talking to the wrong person.

My DS is a climate scientist and throughout the past 20 + years has been taking action to mitigate the effects of climate change.

I have been awash with information and to suggest that this is a natural phenomena is not only entirely wrong, but dangerous.

The green energy levy adds to people’s fuel bills. I would like to see it suspended until fuel prices go down again. We should not be spending on climate change whilst people have to choose between heating and eating.

I for one am very pleased to hear this.
I certainly didn’t vote for the Green party but it seems to be what we’ve got now.

Is the population entirely happy with these new regulations being forced on us, amongst them electric cars and these totally inefficient heat pumps in our homes?

This obsession with green environmental policies isn’t sustainable, so I really hope those MPs are successful.

Interesting post.

Would be interested in knowing whether you are a climate change denier.

I can’t believe the gullibility of some people. We are beggaring ourselves in this country for no reason whatsoever, the pollution we produce compared with other nations is minuscule.
When our rising energy prices and lack of energy start to hit, this country may come to it’s senses, too late! We’ll have ground to a halt.
I wonder who the first people will be to complain about no electricity supply. Hmm, let me think….

Well, no because this is such a serious crises that party politics must rise above this issue.

We know that Johnson won’t, but there are more in the Tory party than him, and they have a duty to do everything they can to protect the population from this crises that is bearing down on us with huge speed.

It is time that our leaders stood up against this rump and told them in no uncertain terms to get lost.

This is a joke, isn't it*Wwmk2*?

There are a group of Tories, who have links to various bodies of climate change deniers, and are making waves by trying to disrupt the government plans for the green agenda. They clearly have some support from the more right media, and we have seen that the more right wing voter will for reasons unclear also support them as they try to disrupt our plans to tackle this crises.

Why on earth should a tiny minority hold such sway? Almost certainly through a form of political blackmail - do what we want and we will support you.
