I'm no scientist but sceptical of some of the climate change theories.just 11,000 years ago the U.K. Was covered in a sheet of ice as far south as London.As far as I am aware it has only been fully populated in the last 4,000 years since the last ice age.
1912 when the Titanic sunk after hitting a large iceberg the world population was c1.8 billion which must mean serious melting of the ice caps was already happening.
Besides the fact there is already too many of us c7 billion and rising and as Tony Griffiths noted while China,India etc develop in the way they are no matter what we do won't make a scrap of difference.
I do see however in 10 years time we will be on our pushbikes and china india will all be driving their cars.
Add in to the equation the possibility of a nuclear war,earthquake,tsunami,astoride strike,large volcanic eruption,220 of them around the world.Forgot biological warfare.
There was a good article in the latest vscc quarterly re recycling and the low environmental impact of old cars,and the fact that for a 1 ton lithium battery 72 million gallons of water as used beside anything else in its production.
As for Tesla cars,I not seen how good they are engineered,or driven one,but have seen many on the roads I've driven in the last 2,000 miles .l can't see why someone would want to pay so much for a vehicle that looks like a low quality kit car.
