Guys i wasnt saying just because China pollutes its ok for me too. i was merely using it as an example of no matter what WE do bigger players are polluting A LOT more.
Coolraoul these are figures ive pulled of the UK goverments and interested party websites to back up my argument
With regards to pollution - we need to put that into perspective: Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere = 0.039% by volume FACT
Carbon cycle proportion of carbon dixoide contributed by mankind 3.4% (IPCC)
UK contribution to global emissions 2% (DEFRA)
Proportion of this due to cars = 16% (DEFRA again)
So cars in the UK are responsible for 16% of 2% of 3.4% of 0.039% which is precisely F&^K all, or to be precise 0.0000042432% divided by the 30million cars in the UK i my contribution to global warming in ZERO.... Globally - just take out the 2% and it increases from !!!!!! all to naff all.
If you go further, and consider the devil's chariot (the 4x4) then as these make up 8% of UK car sales (SMMT) then they are responsible for 8% of 16% of 2% of 3.4% of 0.039% which is the square root of F*&K all !
Im sorry but the Governments of the world are playing the ultimate Bluff and we've all folded...... so again i have no guilt at all. |
