It's bullshit. I say that as an automotive engineer with 35 years experience.

I have never understood why non white politicians pander to racist politics, do they not see that it can only end with demands that they to "go back to where they came from"?

It's still a cult. There's so going to be a residual rump of idiots who worship farage.

I too have found this very odd. Gives it a surreal, almost fantastical feel.

Because that would involve being a left of centre party, rather than pretending to be one in order to nullify the left

Oh, if we stop all emissions now, there's still at least 4c baked in by the end of the century. We should be carrying on a global scale mitigation plan right now.

Very disappointed that asking awkward questions results in a blocking

Mike Cooper @no-thyself.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

Oh I do understand. I've been reading about climate change and collapse related issues for 20 years. Imo if we stopped all emissions tomorrow, at least 4bn people would die in the following 2 years from starvation, disease, heat/cold, etc. It's a predicament, not a problem.

Mike Cooper @no-thyself.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

If we cut emissions immediately, billions would starve in the following year or 2 due to lack of fertiliser and food transport. The problem is, this isn't a problem. It's a predicament.

Interesting that your immediate response is to think I am in favour of fossil fuels, but to ignore the question

Mike Cooper @no-thyself.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

Supplementary question. What fossil fuel emissions would be created by building enough wind turbines and solar panels to completely replace current fossil fuel generation capacity globally?

Mike Cooper @no-thyself.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

I'm an engineer and I have a practical question. If we cut fossil fuel emissions to zero within the next three years, what does that mean for society as a whole?

No one in politics wants to lead anymore. They just want to manage. That's the problem. We keep voting in inadequate middle managers.

I love centrists, they can be so deluded. Starmer didn't win the last election, the Tories lost it and Reform split the vote. And he's unpopular because he's implemented bugger all left wing policies, maintained the bullshit authoritarian stance, and lied repeatedly since he became leader.

The average age of a car in the UK is 10 years old, because people can't afford new cars. So while I think EVs are great, it will take a long time before ice cars disappear

I have a very valid reason for disliking him. He pretended to be a social democrat, but he's governed as a neoliberal
