Personally, I think we are deluding ourselves if we think we can stop or even slow down climate change. The Polar ice is dissapearing at an alarming rate resulting in a rise in sea levels. The increase in temperature is releasing huge volumes of methane from the Tundra which in itself is many times more significant as a green house gas than CO2 and the consequence is even more warming. The destruction of rain forests further reduces the ability of the planet to absorb CO2.
I think it is too late.

I recently read a paper written by an eminent Australian professor Ian Rutherford Plimmer. Volcanos are the biggest producers of CO2 gas. We should tax them or make them illegal |

I’m with Dane, the climate change alarmism is all terribly political and the fact that the debate has been shut down says all. It’s a first for science and it’s because of politics.
Just remember that a sizeable chunk of ecologists want to destroy the capitalist system that has halved world poverty in the last ten years.
We are also totally dependent on Diesel engines for everything except passenger cars.
I don’t think it’s practical to convert existing cars to electric, but I imagine legislation and prices falling will mean that most of us are scurrying about in electric cars within a few years. Except of course for the school run where tiny turbocharged engines will appear to power the army of enormous and aggressively driven SUVs that make our roads so terrifying mid afternoon weekdays. |

Like you guys I would not be very interested. I'm waiting for the roll out of hydrogen fuel cells.

The ultimate problem, which nobody seems keen to admit - never mind propose solutions to - is that the human population is unsustainably large. |

I have said for years that the moment the Chinese - 22% of the world's population - discovered capitalism and all wanted a car that the world was doomed. But if the world adopted the Chinese "one couple, one child" rule we'd cut the world population in two over 50 years. But then all economies would implode because the model is based on unsustainable continual growth. "We're all doomed, I tell 'ee, we're all doomed"! |

They claim a 150 mile range and a top speed of 100 mph.
My question is how far will hill it go at 100 mph?
Put another way, at what speed will it do 150 miles? |
