I'd bet golf is up there too, loads more events, lots more people with private or chartered jets, and lots more destinations/departure locations...
Strange that when I got home and tuned into Simon Reeve's Lake District program he was pointing out how the LD has been reduced to an artificial landscape by tree felling and over grazing.It's difficult to describe the above as anything but 'a load of male bovine manure'!
Take that back to basics though and this whole island would be covered in trees, including your house and mine.Strange that when I got home and tuned into Simon Reeve's Lake District program he was pointing out how the LD has been reduced to an artificial landscape by tree felling and over grazing.
Similar to the point I was raising. We need to let the grass grow.
Don't hold your breath for a reply, he ignores every response that goes against his argument.Not sure you’re going to win the argument by being abusive.
There’s no doubt EV’s are a future, they may not be the future, but after 2030 everyone’s choice will be limited.
The biggest issue I see with EV’s is still infrastructure. I charged one the other day, it took 18 hrs on a (inefficient) 7 kw charger. If you’re driving one, make sure you have access to fast charging. You seem really evangelical around climate change. Have you really done everything you can before you preach? Still got an ice gone full vegan? Flying anywhere soon?
True but the other side of the argument is we ban everything and lead miserable lives instead ?Each race, 23 in total, is in a different country. Many of the flights will be long haul. Each one will have every team loading up their cars, gear, hospitality etc onto planes, flying to the next country. £1 says the top drivers and team excecs will take private planes for the journeys. You can argue about the fuel used by the cars in driving, qualifying testing etc but I suspect all of that is dwarfed by the flight emissions.
World sport generally is not great for flying but for weight of gear, distance etc F1 must be near the top of the tree.
Why would that be?

Oh, I get that. In this instance I was replying to a specific question rather than making a moral judgement. I think @BiMGuy asked it genuinely, he isn't a sarky poster although he could have pulled the wool over my eyes on this one .True but the other side of the argument is we ban everything and lead miserable lives instead ?
Or counter argument which you ignore? Just because Google doesn't tell you what you want to hear ..
Also surely if we are going to ban high polluting events forum meets are up there.. people traveling miles to play golf and fill the world with hot air ..
Or we can each do our little bit and not be whining pathetic little people picking holes in others attempts whilst the world burns up ?
Everyone will be doing their own little bit
But they will be doing without the need to point fingers at others , show everyone how great they are , insult others and be a hypocrite
A lot of people would love to have an electric car and be fully green but it’s just not practical about
No one I know is doing “nothing” and people i know aren’t looking to do nothing because they don’t care about the planet or the future - things you have accused others off.
You don’t need to thrown all the eco stuff in everyone’s faces as if it’s a look at me and what are you doing about it - it doesn’t come across well at all
I've reduced my carbon footprint by
Posting on the forum less?
Does this mean nobody has to worry that you'll turn up at one?Also surely if we are going to ban high polluting events forum meets are up there.. people traveling miles to play golf and fill the world with hot air ..
So let's look at the facts rather than the rubbish you like to post about it
I've reduced my carbon footprint by
Cutting down My boiler use for a more eco friendly heat pump.. from 100kw gas a day to 30kw
Reduced driving of the higher polluting car (that is still eco enough to get into the ultra low emission zone and will be road legal until it stops working)
Increased millage of the ev including car pooling with colleagues so they reduce their use of fossil fuels and use electric instead
Electric from green sources
Heat pump tumble over a normal tumble which uses far less electric
Cutting down on meat eating
Cutting down waste
Yet massive hypocrisy due to having air con (that's HVAC .. and very low pollution / energy use) and having a diesel that bearly does 3000 miles
Have a beautiful day Phillip.
Maybe a few who have added nothing to this thread and just want an arguement all time
The likes of Phil, blue in Munich and DaveR could heed this advise?
