Re: Have you got 5 mins to listen to Sir David King ?
Ah yes, another "ask an expert in a different discipline" ploy Dyson in his day was a giant of cosmology and quantum electrodynamics, but not a climate specialist. I trade you this https://e360.yale.edu/features/freeman_dyson_takes_on_the_climate_establishment from which Dyson says:- He po...

Re: Have you got 5 mins to listen to Sir David King ?
John Please, you're getting your logic mixed up here. The one relevant issue is that the CO2 levels have risen from about 300 ppm to over 400ppm in the last sixty years, and an even bigger increase since we started burning carbon industrially, That is a massive increase, the annual winter/summer var...

Re: Have you got 5 mins to listen to Sir David King ?
So did I, it seems very close to total rubbish, for instance he likens the climate to red paint, once you have painted a canvas red, more red paint doesn't make it any more red. WTF is that all about?? also he talks about the molecular angle the two oxygen atoms make with the carbon and likens it to...

Re: Have you got 5 mins to listen to Sir David King ?
Plants may grow better with raised CO2 concentrations either in or out of polytunnels, please explain what that has to do with global warming with some proper science if you will. Ta

Re: What would YOU do??
A couple of the people who organise the meetings had Covid so last weeks was cancelled, I did meet a couple of others along with my customer at the local pub, it was an interesting evening. There are some very smart people trying to make a difference, fair play to them. I will go along to the full m...

Re: Have you got 5 mins to listen to Sir David King ?
Stopping all aviation could curtail a few percent of global warming at best, we need to do an order of magnitude better than that at least and fast. With our esteemed leaders behaving like cavemen still chucking rocks at each other. Basically we are screwed.

Re: What would YOU do??
Thanks for those thoughts gents, I am going to one of the local meetings probably tomorrow to see what their set up is like.
Like many of you I don't see much advantage in cheesing off too many of the general public, but maybe their strategy is deeper than that? Only one way to find out.

Re: Gas Usage while on holiday?
Still away and boiler now firing up twice a day! It’s 19.7 deg where the stat is located so it’s not calling for heat. Further investigation required!! https://i.postimg.cc/vDysBQdm/A387-B68-C-E25-E-4571-A28-C-43-EB3-EAA7617.jpg That gas consumption looks about right for the preheat function/day, o...

What would YOU do??
I was somewhat surprised to learn that earlier this week one of the Just Stop Oil protesters at Wimbledon Tennis was one of our good customers. We did a whole house refurb for him a few years ago during which we had many interesting chats about environmental issues. He is very clued up and passionat...
