"Thats what the whole of the UK contributes to Global Warming!! Jeeeeesus!!!!" the UK is the fifth biggest historic emitter in the world. That’s because we started the burning of fossil fuels – we were the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution. That’s far from water under the bridge – all those carbon emissions are still up there in the atmosphere, and form part of the climate crisis we face today. | |||

"Wenlock Edge in Shropshire was once a tropical coral reef." Yes 400 million years ago. This was before reptiles even existed, let alone mammals. Make Shropshire Great Again? | |||

"Thats what the whole of the UK contributes to Global Warming!! Jeeeeesus!!!! the UK is the fifth biggest historic emitter in the world.

That’s far from water under the bridge – all those carbon emissions are still up there in the atmosphere, and form part of the climate crisis we face today. " The vast majority of the carbon emitted from the birth of the industrial revolution until around 1950 was when the world was able to capture and store it. The system was broadly in balance. So it's unfair to blame historic emissions. That's just a convenient excuse to absolve nations of their current excessive releases. | |||

"In 985AD Erik the Red's vikings successfully established a colony on Greenland that lasted almost 500 years. It was warm enough to grow crops and feed cattle. It isn't now. "That's because Henry VII decommissioned all of Julius Caesar's coal-fired power stations. You know - the ones that caused the Roman Warm Period. | |||

"The oldest guy on our allotments has been there almost 50 years. When he first started, we couldn't grown sweetcorn and squashes here, but now everyone grows them. The first commercial crop of chickpeas was able to be grown in 2019 First lentils in 2017 First chia seeds in 2018." Plus the amount of vineyards here and now rice is being grown | |||

"Mark my words, when the digital ID bullshit comes in, we’ll get “marked down” for how much energy we use and emissions we make. Social credit scores are coming!" Look up 'Personal Carbon Allowances'. IIRC they are looking to impose near-impossible limits on us plebs, meanwhile 'the elites' that set them will of course be exempt from those rules... | |||

So long as the Personal Carbon Allowance includes air travel, and applies equally to all then count me in. I'm sick of being told what type of heating to have, or what car to drive by people that will merrily get on a plane and fly to far flung places. | |||

" The Romans had vineyards here too. The Romans had vineyards in the South East of Britain, but today there are vineyards right across Britain including North Yorkshire " Most Roman vineyards would indeed have been in the South East, although that could be explained by the fact that the Roman occupation started there first. Archaeologists A.G. BROWN, I. MEADOWS, S.D. TURNER & D.J. MATTINGLY wrote a paper in 2001 entitled "Roman vineyards in Britain: stratigraphic and palynological data from Woolaston in the Nene Valley, England", presenting evidence of a Roman vineyard in Northamptonshire. They also refer to evidence for a Roman vineyard in Lincolnshire. Viticulture has come a long way since Roman times. Hardier grape varieties have been created in recent times that can thrive much further north than previously. Even Norway has vineyards now. | |||

"Its all a load of bollocks to control people. " Absolutely. Carbon dioxide makes up a very small part of the earths atmosphere, man made co2 a minute part of that. It’s absolutely farsical, and we’re all expected to follow on like sheep doing what they say. | |||
