"Think u miss the point all together....why spend money on crap things ...the don is right again ...top man " Phew you've really set my mind at ease. It's a good job there's no sort of global health problem kicking off right now. Like a potential pandemic. You know, the sort of problem that certain governmental programs were working against until they were cut. | |||

"The orange don will be soon releasing the worlds best ever " " " anouncement " - that the world is flat And the sad thing is people who cant think rationally for themselves, would believe him." I was going to laugh at that, but they probably would believe it. Facts and logic seem increasingly distrusted by certain right wingers in the USA and in the UK. | |||

"Trump spent the last 2 years cutting gov units that were designed to combat pandemics. The guy whose job it was to lead the U.S. response in the event of a pandemic quit and his global health security team was disbanded. The CDC was forced to slash its efforts to prevent global disease outbreak by 80% as its funding began to run out. The Complex Crises Fund was cut, a $30 million emergency response pool to deploy disease experts and others in the event of a crisis. Maybe, just maybe, all these reources could have been a tiny bit helpful in the event of a global health issue. Just a thought.
And the fact global health issues are, you know, global implies they affect us too. just another thought. | |||

common sense"Fertility rates are falling with general education. Particularly of women. Look up Hans Rosling on TED. China reduced population as a positive policy but it had unintended consequences. A skewing of demographics because there are now significantly more men than women due to the traditional preference for sons. Female children were abandoned and aborted. Every child is now commonly supporting two generations. Parents and up to four grandparents. This is going to cause a huge crisis in care, hence the shift in policy to two children. We have the same problem here. An older generation living longer with more medical and care needs which a smaller number of people in younger generations have to pay for. There are plenty of jobs but many of them in this sector are low paid and low status. That has to change. Not valuing those who care for people is an awful state for society to be in. | |||

If she catalyses a shift in public perception and action then if people trailing around after her generate a marginal increase in CO2 emissions the positive consequences will be far bigger.

"One of the biggest influences in human behaviour was giving people free recycling bins and fining them if they did it wrong. Then it was charging people 5 or 10p for plastic bags in supermarkets / shops. Money talks. If Tinaburger grasped that , grown ups might listen. And until electric cars have a remotely sensible range and a price tag of under £25,000 no- one is interested" Except they are interested. Carbon is being priced. Finance is moving away from fossil fuels. Energy production is already cheaper. Electric vehicle production is ramping up, as are economies of scale. The entire automotive industry is switching and heavy goods, trains and aeroplanes will be moving to hydrogen. Everyone is interested. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/nov/15/european-investment-bank-to-phase-out-fossil-fuels-financing https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/business-47494239 https://www.theguardian.com/business/2019/dec/16/goldman-sachs-to-stop-financing-new-drilling-for-oil-in-the-arctic https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-11-15/vw-boosts-new-technology-spending-to-66-billion-through-2024 https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20200227-how-hydrogen-powered-trains-can-tackle-climate-change https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/hydrogen-powered-plane-prepares-for-take-off-next-year-vrrglsh0n Of course one person didn't cause this, but she has accelerated it.

"I blame all those anti nuclear power protesters in the 70,s 80,s and 90,s. We could have moved away from fossil fuel 50 years ago if it wasnt for those do gooders i hope they are now the ones getting flooded. "There is definitely a nuclear power question to resolve. I'm inclined to accept nuclear power, and preferably actually spend time money on much safer thorium salt reactors. Although the latest generation of nuclear reactors are also a big improvement. Still nuclear waste to deal with. Ho hum. Damned if you don't, amned if you do. Although it's the difference between dealing with a local and a global problem. | |||

My youngest daughter has severe sensory issues and can't sit in a service station waiting for a battery to charge.

Do you drive an electric car?"Having to accommodate a wheelchair rather limits your car choices anyway, so it's a rather specialist comparison to make. My purchase cycle hasn't come around yet, but it is a very viable option this time around. A plug-in hybrid would also help with range anxiety if you are a nervous type.

"And as for these oft quoted ranges of electric cars ; everyone who knows anything about motoring knows that 200 mile range equals 100 if you are lucky in real world conditions. The whole thing is a con . Not enough raw materials to make the expected demand for batteries ; not enough charging points no matter how fast they are installed and not enough power stations to make the electricity even if the Chinese make them" That's not actually true. Certainly no worse than the mpg of conventional cars. Of course there has to be investment in infrastructure. How much has been spent on the oil industry and petrol station network?

You do amuse me "As one of greta,s disciples i suggest you look at the damage lithium mining does to the environment you might start thinking differently.One of the side effects of lithium mining is water pollution: the process of mining can affect local water supplies, potentially poisoning communities. Yet chemical leakage is also a major concern when it comes to lithium mining. The lithium carbonate extraction process harms the soil, and can cause air pollution. There are also concerns around how to recycle it. Eco-nonprofit Friends of the Earth notes that lithium recycling is fraught, as the metal is “toxic, highly reactive and flammable.” | |||

You were promoting electric vehicles and I have pointed out, as have others, that isn't an option for many. By your logic it is an option for you but you choose not to use it. Shows you are disagreeing for the sake of it.
You have gone down an entire path of more and more detail to get to a conclusion which gives you a satisfactory answer but has no relevance to the point under discussion, which is incidentally funding for pandemic research and response.
I was simply stating that the situation is changing rapidly and the objections presented were quite solvable until you find some very specific use case.
Why you feel the need to "demonstrate my character" when discussing Coronavirus or electric vehicles or anything else says rather a lot about you
I did allow myself to be hugely sidetracked so apologise to the OP for taking up so much space
I've just followed the flow of the thread, you didn't have to but did. Now you want to try and bum me again. I keep telling you, I'm straight. Plenty of gay or bi men for you on here
Why do you keep saying quite such a juvenile thing?
It's odd by any index "You keep using the flashing eyelids emoji, meaning you fancy me and want to oartake in gay sex. I have no oroblem with you being gay or bi, but I am straight. You need to find someone else to bum. | |||

"£81,000 £36,000 £29,000 All affordable options for the average guy wanting to buy a new car £1400 for charging point at home. Cheap at half the price . Ha ha Comedy gold. Ha ha ha ha . Brilliant reasoning there Sherlock but the competitor for electric cars at the moment is NOT your really cheap family car.... its the big old saloons! its the BMW's!!! the Audi's, the Jags ect ect ect.... it will get to the cheap family car eventually... but where we were 5 years ago to where we are now has been a lifetime and it will get there... with advancements in batteries for example.... for example... you keep blabbing on about the tesla model s.... lets talk tesla model 3... where the long round version can basically do london to newcastle on a single charge! yes the charging network will have to get better (it would be better if they all used the same charging system) yes the charging times will have to improve!!!" Has it ever occurred to you that the reason the car companies are going for the bigger saloons is because they can’t physically make them for anything cheaper? Do you really think a car company chooses to sell say 10,000 units at £40 instead of 2 million units at £12k???? If they could make them cheaper and sell many many more they would . And as for batteries ... mining and irresponsibly disposing of out little AA batteries is a major problem . Mining for the millions of percent increase in demand for car size electric batteries is something the gretel TunaBurgers and eco loonies refuse to accept. Mining for all that extra lithium and Boron in third world countries then disposing of all those poisonous toxic metals will damage the environment as much as burning fossil fuels , if there is enough lithium and boron out there | |||

"Wonder if it will last 6 hours on the M25 in freezing conditions. Do they do one I can drive to Cornwall without charging? My youngest daughter has severe sensory issues and can't sit in a service station waiting for a battery to charge. It will need enough luggage space for me, 2 teenage girls, a 9 year old and wheelchair. The first horseless carriage would have been a bit impractical and out of your price range at the time too. I thought it was the younger generation who whined about not having exactly what they wanted right now
So there isn't anything then. A simple no would have done.
Do you drive an electric car?
Having to accommodate a wheelchair rather limits your car choices anyway, so it's a rather specialist comparison to make.
My purchase cycle hasn't come around yet, but it is a very viable option this time around. A plug-in hybrid would also help with range anxiety if you are a nervous type.
Are you doing anything other than trying to "win" an argument against me? What point are you trying to make?
Not trying to win an argument, just showing that electric isn't an option for me. It is for you but you don't have one, although seemingly preaching that others should.
I can drive any car with ample storage and range, electric doesn't get close. I'm no where near the nervous type as my practicality means I don't have to worry. When electric can provide what I need I will look to make the switch.
I haven't asked you to do anything else.

You haven't got a handle on that yet. You will see that nearly all new technologies are introduced on premium products. This is because the small initial production volumes mean that these components are expensive and more readily accepted on more expensive cars. It is also possible to recoup more of the development costs within the higher margin. As time goes on higher manufacturing volumes allow prices to come down and be affordable first as options and then standard fit on cheaper cars in the range. The extraction of rare earths is an issue and the attempt to do so more ethically is leading to shortages as car manufacturers are committed to transparent auditing. However comparing this to what has happened with respect to the oil industry with fires, spills, corruption, revolutions and wars and civil wars, obtaining elements for battery manufacture is not in the same league. Battery technology development is now moving very quickly though, as is hydrogen as a fuel. | |||

The economic consequences are going to be even more serious than the medical ones.
I am also revising my opinion as to how major a death rate this will have. It is virulent and pretty much impossible to detect. The 2% mortality rate will still lead to millions of deaths as it will be global.
No doubt it is undetected in India and Africa right now where containment will be close to impossible. | |||
