In the uk 15% of the co2 comes from cars and 20% from our homes, where does the other 65% come from and what really is being done about it, or is it just us the people who must lower our usage and output and be net zero by 2050.
Rain forrest the size of new york was removed from the amazon recently and it seems we are removing nature’s solution and looking at installing mechanical one’s, Which need more energy creating them and it cannot just be created without using energy to create it and then to maintain that infrastructure it all cost$$$ and who making it..
Industry is the biggest creator of co2, making an ev creates more co2 and only after x years does it become better than fossil fuel. The real solution right now would be to keep the cars we have made already for as long as possible rather than scrapping them or changing them every 3 years, like on the scheme.
Getting a new car is not good for the planet, but it is good for the profits. It’s another reason I decided to leave the scheme recently and buy a car and keep it for longer, how long really does depend on many factors but no longer will i be looking to swap, just for the sake of it or I feel like a having new car.
In real terms globally co2 levels rose 6% in 2021, Increased use of coal was the main factor driving up global energy-related CO2 emissions by over 2 billion tonnes, their largest ever annual rise in absolute terms.
I see this only getting worse as right now it’s make more sense to use coal over gas due it’s costs to create energy, all they care about is their margins, profits and dividends.
