- London Mayor too close a friend of extinction rebellion to do his job?
Or some policies you would support. How about banning the most polluting vehicles from city centres? Or setting minimum recycling standards for local authorities, such as requiring separate collection of food waste? Maybe stop Heathrow expansion to tackle pollution and noise?

As opposed to the benevolent and enlightening right wing press?

" Conservative MPs are almost five times as likely to vote against climate action than legislators from other parties, a Guardian analysis of 16 indicative parliamentary divisions over the past decade has revealed.
The Tories also registered many more donations, shares, salaries, gifts and tickets to sporting events from fossil fuel companies, petrostates, aviation companies and climate sceptics, according to declarations made in the parliamentary record of MPs’ interests between 2008 and 2019."
Do your homework boro boy.
To continue working with the fibre analogy, no we don't claim it is the end of the line, but yes, we do encourage people to switch over to the current best option rather than wait and see of something better emerges in 10 years time.Boro Boy wrote: ↑Sun Oct 13 2019 2:05amBut we don't say that fibre optical cable is the end of the line, this is as good as it gets; we realise that technology can improve and supersede the knowledge we have today.

Continuing the use of your optical fibre analogy. If fibre was that good everyone would be scrambling to get it on day one when it was first announced if it was available to them. But they don't scrambling for it because many do not see the benefit of it out balancing the cost! Now this doesn't make them wrong and in the fibre analogy world they can take their fibre junk mail and put it in the rubbish and not have it stuffed down their throats by people who love to tell other people what to do and thinking they are doing this from a position of some authority when of course they are not they are merely workers for a big company.Chadwick wrote: ↑Sun Oct 13 2019 5:24pmTo continue working with the fibre analogy, no we don't claim it is the end of the line, but yes, we do encourage people to switch over to the current best option rather than wait and see of something better emerges in 10 years time.Boro Boy wrote: ↑Sun Oct 13 2019 2:05amBut we don't say that fibre optical cable is the end of the line, this is as good as it gets; we realise that technology can improve and supersede the knowledge we have today.

You appear to be arguing that until we know for definite what causes rapid climate change, we should not act on the knowledge we do have.
Still not willing to offer specific policies to clean up the earth that you would support?
