The sad thing is, we can actually cut emissions by using a degree of coal power in the uk, as we still have useable coal seems thanks to new technology, which means less distance to transport, and so no new emissions.

Once we have enough wind, wave, carbon capture plants and NUCLEAR power production, we can start moving to electric cars. Currently all electric cars and hybrids are just gimics to make sales until a complete emission free power supply is made.

Emitting CO2 while producing all our plastic junk. Climate change is our problem, and we can easily deal with it. For instance, taxing fossil fuels at source, so all fossil fuel-based products are prohibitively expensive.

Shut up/ green washing.

He could of killed and seriously harmed people, thats not cool!

Stop climate change, help develop Carbon Capture and Sequestration here in the UK, so we can let China use it. This is the global reality of carbon reduction. China will not use renewable energies when it is sitting on so much coal and is second largest emission producer after USA.

They'll never be as cool as that dude who climbed two ten foot high electric fences and shut down a power reactor for four hours

You go home switch your lights and heating on, hypercrites

[casualobserveruk]

Well, its no good moaning about the cost of your energy bill, its probably gone up to pay for the extra security around energy companies offices because of missinformed idiots like this. Lets face it coal = jobs = cheap energy - renewables = expensive bills have to go up simple maths aint it

well done andyg3. Don't you get it, obviously not. Global warming is not stopped by slagging off protestors or countries like the US and China. It is stopped by showing leadership and strength.

You muppets want to carry on like nothing is happening saying i'm alright jack sod the kids living here after us eh.

Mind you I bet you are one of the fools that thinks climate change is all made up and the 1000's of reports all comfirming it are a conspiracy.

grow up and take some responsibility

Why cant you damn eco wankers just leave the uk alone, and go to china, the uk hardly pollutes, while China is basicly emiting everything.

Because China and the US are so selfish not to do anything, and now jsut the UK , a tiny island, is expected to cut up to 95% of the worlds carbon emitions, i bet the uk emits about 5% or so of the worlds carbon.

Just fuck off and go to china.

You arent going to stop me burning smokey coal.
