    They will if there’s an economical argument for it which there already is. Renewables are getting cheaper and cheaper whereas fossil fuels are getting more and more expensive.

    There’s enough land to grow crops for human consumption. Meat and dairy has the double whammy of needs land for grazing, needs land to grow crops for animal feed. We’re actually sending aid to countries in developing countries that are growing crops to feed animals for western markets. They need...

    Fucking hell you’re a dumb ass. Just on the causes of deforestation alone. The biggest reason for deforestation is ground clearance to grow crops for animal feed, the second biggest is ground clearance for pasture land. If everyone went veggie we could reverse deforestation, even more so if we...

    Why would they have to buy them? Midland Meat Packers used to bus people all around Rugby not that many years ago, they used a local coach firm to do it, no one is suggesting that they have to go nuclear and buy a coach and employ a driver.

    For a lot of people it would be. We went from two cars to one a few years ago quite successfully. My wife can’t give up driving for various reasons and as we only have one car now my car use is at least 80% less than it was previously and if I am driving somewhere it’s usually with 2 adults and...

    We’re talking about it on here aren’t we? We’re a small community but this is the second thread I can remember on the subject. Some good points being made also, some people might be getting an education that makes them think about their own behaviour and personal responsibility. Maybe not but at...

    We export our carbon footprint to China every time we buy something made there whether it’s a completed product or a component in something we buy. It’s very very difficult to buy anything without the hand of China in it, especially true of anything electronic or with a battery. China is the...

    Their aim is to keep the subject of climate change in the newspapers and keep the conversation going not their faces. They achieved that.

    The only thing an IQ test is useful for is testing your ability to do an IQ test, which you can be tutored in. The person most famous for bragging about their IQ in recent times thought you could safely ingest bleach if you want evidence that it means fuck all. They literally put warnings on...

    An easy PMQ’s for Starmer, just read out the confessions of failures from those who are standing to replace him. They all called him out and admitted that 12 years of Tory rule has fucked the country big time.

    Not so sure it’s his local reputation that holds him there. I’m yet to meet someone from Rugby who doesn’t think he’s a twat. He’s not all bad, he supported the early day motions on football governance that used us as an example of change needed, he’s also made the right noises regarding Brandon...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I think you’re thinking back to when it was Rugby and Kenilworth or Rugby and Bulkington or one of the other variation’s it’s been over the years. It’s been a stand alone seat since 2010 and been a safe Tory seat ever since.

    Tories have never taken less than 44% of the votes and the smallest margin it’s been won by is about 5000 seats. It’s going to take a massive swing from the last election. Not impossible but I’m not holding my breath. One thing for sure, I’ll be voting tactically at the next GE if there’s a...

    It was gluing themselves to public transport that I didn’t get given public transport is part of the solution not the problem. Yes gluing yourselves to roads in London was an inconvenience but there’s always something to inconvenience you on the roads in London so not sure what actually...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I think not being Conservative will be as much as a reason and a good enough reason to vote Labour at the next GE for many. I live in a safe Tory seat so will probably end up voting Green but if there’s a good indication that Labour or Lib Dem can take Rugby I’ll be voting for either of them...
