The end of the combustion engine as we know it?

[Kezzieboy]

Just to add fuel to the fire; and this is my opinion, not fact


Why would you believe what you read in the news? It's the government telling you what they want you to hear. How many Billions of pounds are generated every year from the whole 'oh f*cking hell its global warming killing us all' campaigns and the consequential market. From people investing in new cars ("more efficient") to solar panels and home insulation.

It's partly what has helped this country out of the recession. All the associated businesses seeing Boom's in profits, and I would bet my bottom dollar, politicians are either on the board, or major share holders in said businesses.


And yes I'm a cynical twat

Really, you're denying global warming? Really though?

The information on climate change doesn't come from the govt, it comes from the scientific community. The fact that people know about it at all says a lot, as the oil companies basically run the global economy (and with it, most of global politics), and would really rather keep it under wraps. They lobby against every attempt to legislate against excessive use of fossil fuels, and our government have stuck with the likes of BP more than they have adopted renewables. Did someone say Iraq?

EDIT: Not the story I was thinking of, but it sums it up pretty well:
