    They shouldn't run around with their hair on fire because all that product would create pollution. :p

    I have a V6 Turbo Diesel equipped with the fume protection so I don't produce soot or black shit everywhere.

    Some of us are more ecologically aware and use public transport rather than travel in huge gas guzzling chelsea tractors

    Public transport still produces greenhouse gases. So does walking ( from the food you eat to have the energy to walk)

    Best to stay at home in the dark, and not breath heavy

    Yep, all the climate protestor and their private jets. Wtf you on about.

    No one attacks you. You said some stupid thing about mass extinction not happening, and were asked questions about your view, and shown evidence to the contrary, and you went silent rather than explain. I'd LOVE to be convinced by your arguments, but you don't have any.

    And I can't speak for everyone but I certainly don't care if you (or anyone) disagrees. We'll either sort the world out, or we won't. I don't feel anxious or panicked about it.

    Mass extinction in terms of the number of species. But more carbon, nitrogen, water in the atmosphere and warmer temperatures means the vegetation gets replenish faster, which turns into fuel for forest fires later during drought periods

    It may well mean the population of the worlds smallest creatures explode, we just havent seen the full effect yet

    If you and Irmi would be a tiny minority the co2 from your car would be no problem. All of the most polluting cars together though makes a significant impact.
    Human actions are already a bigger cause of the increase in co2 in the air than volcanos.
    So you asked an important question indeed, one that shows how much impact we humans as a whole do. The US alone already emits more carbon dioxide anually than all volcanoes combined. So the least a person who gives a shit can do is get those filters or a more responsible car. Or, if you really need that car, compensate in another way.
    If we all compensate and make responsible choices (which we should make for multiple reasons anyway, not only the heating of the planet) we can have at it all. But how we have accustomed to live in the last lets say 70 years cannot be continued carelessly.

    I'm quite happy to prove you wrong yet again !!! - seems to be a regular occurence, me proving you wrong, perhaps you should research the matter more thoroughly instead of spouting shit every time you open your mouth!!!

    New electric buses will soon hit city’s streets

    Some of us don't live in areas where mass public transport works. Some of us can't get to our property on public transport, or down the dirt road to the fields where we work.

    Your choice to live out in the boondocks, you had that choice, but then driving a huge chelsea tractor makes you number one target for eco warrior vigilantes

    Not sure what being a nr. 1 target for eco warrior vigilantes means, but i would keep it constructive. Otherwise your vigilante actions might have a counterproductive result.
    And the choice for the car argument is spot on. But the choice for living out where you need a car argument is an assumption from your part. Then again, needing a car doesn't mean going for the biggest diesel truck is neccessary either. That choice is often made for trivial purposes. There seem to be more of those owners in love with the idea of needing such a car, then that there are owners who actually need it.
     
  17. Those that hoon have a lot to answer for.
    Taking public transport is one way to clear your mind.
    Walking the family’s dog is another way of clearing your mind.
    I agree with you on the other points.
    But even still if you have a car it might mean that you park it somewhere and walk
     
  18. If i had my own car i’d be driving a lot more. However, i prefer public transport such as trains.

    That's indeed a disadvantage. Same with the use of disposable plastic. It's just too convenient. Which is why we use it more often then we really need.
    I ride trains because I don't have a car. I don't prefer it to driving (although both have its own advantages).

    They are not fully electric. They are hybrid. Use fuel when not in zero emissions mode.

    And of course, when charged use electricty produced still mostly by coal in the end

    And of course there is the 30,000 batteries in each vehicle that will need to be replaced and disposed of every couple of years

    And of course there is the worlds ever increasing population, you are still just offsetting by a couple decades the levels thrse systems would have otherwise consumed
