One of the things that I found concerning about the whole climate change debate is we know that humans have a very real impact on the world and they have a very detrimental impact when we think about ecology, when we think about sea life, when we think about animal life.
But we don't tend to talk about that anymore because the moment we talk about humans' impact on the world, we talk about climate change.
when actually there's so many more important or just as important things that we need to talk about and address, like pollution, microplastics, etc.
Yeah, it just doesn't make sense because when I hear scientists talking about this, we should be talking about other things like species extinction.
And also as well, you go, the whole thing doesn't make sense because we're so interested in essentially de-industrializing.
Yeah, it seems every week, I think it's every week, China opens two new coal power stations.
You go, none of this actually seems to make any type of logical sense.
But...
I think, and we've touched on it before, we are starting to see common sense start to come to the fore.
Is that true in the scientific community or is it still very much captured, do you think?
And Ian, when we talk about climate, we also talk about green technologies.
And the people who say, you know, they're doing very well, they're going to be able to replace certain technologies that we have.
Where do you stand on green technologies?
Are there some that are actually good and you think will make a positive impact?
Are there some that are just not there?
And are there others that you go, look, this is a busted flush, we need to stop funding this?
And why is it that we don't talk about nuclear energy more?
Why is it that when I read in the newspapers, we're talking about nuclear power plants being actually shut down?
