  • @Stratoszero He actually seems like a "quality vs. quantity" type of guy. Give him a smidgeon of fine cheese over a gallon of "Velveeta", anyday. I also suspect he'd support artisan creators over non-descript, low quality mass production. Anyhow, a carbon exchange program would encourage wealthy people to make more thoughtful consumption choices.They'd have a clear picture of how much environmental impact their lifestyles have on the World. It's about information = Knowledge.Don't fear the info.

  • @caymanpeg At present, rich people have most advantages of consumption. As the poor don't match rich in consumption (or they wouldn't be poor), it's an interesting idea to offer compensation for their perpetually low carbon footprint; compensating for sacrifice. Low consumers pass along a positive externality to the rest of us who share Earth's resources. It's about assigning proper value to things. Everyone values clean air and water, even if they don't realize it. And value influences markets.

  • So bright. Don't dismiss him simply because he has a poshy-syrupy voice. He's talking about compensating people for sacrifices in lifestyle for the sake of sustainability and conservation; making conservation profitable for low income people. It's an exchange. He owns a farm. Small farms must be sustainable, they must "behave" almost like terrariums, if they're to be efficient and affordable. I say, lock "Blur" in a room for a week with pen + paper. World problems solved. "Think Tank", indeed...

  • the title of this video should say 'alex james being taken apart on carbon balancing' x

  • Look at 3.45. The presenter asks Alex: " How green are you"? His response: "..erm..not very ". What the fuck is this utter arsehole on about then?? Honestly! Is he that thick??

  • HAHA very good, I'm sure a self righteous little twunt like Alex James would go along withose principles and think he's doing his bit!

  • i think alex is very smart lol justbeingnasty is just being nasty :P oooooooh

  • Alex James could help global warming by shutting his big, flapping fucking gob to stop the fart gas flying out every time he talks shit.

  • alex has to be the thickest piece of shit in the world and yes am watching this because i had to say this.global warming?whats that.
