ah yes i remember the smog well as a child

Dad boarded up the chimney and we had to forgoe the pleasure of the horse and cart delivries with the guys in their leather caps and gowns

What with no need of chimney sweeps with saved a little but perhaps that disappeared on electricity bills and parafin heaters

all went reasonably well until 1956 with SUEZ

Interesting Insulate Britain wish the world to return to a CO2 level of 280 parts per million the same as it was when the planet came out of the last ice age. They also said "since the industrial revolution CO2 levels have sky rocketed to 418ppm."

1. During an ice age, the colder temperatures and colder water suck CO2 out of the atmosphere thereby radically reducing the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere.

2. This 280 ppm CO2 level was some of the lowest in Earth's history.

3. The Industrial Revolution was just putting back some of the CO2 lost during the last ice age, therefore the Industrial Revolution was doing a good thing by increasing the CO2 levels as it was just rebalancing the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere to the levels seen before the last ice age. At the time, coal was a good thing as meant far less trees being cut down for fuel for heating, cooking and making of charcoal etc and also the Industrial Revolution meant steal production which replaced wood for building ships etc.

4. Increasing CO2 levels will means plants will grow more leafs and become greener thereby reducing the size of desserts.

5. In past history, much of the Artic Ocean was warmer enough to swim in and had warm climate ferns growing in Northern Canada.

Shell, BP, TotalEnergies take steps on greener service stations
29 October 2021 Cristina Brooks

Three oil majors have separately signed deals that could see them greening their existing networks of service stations in Europe and the US by offering electric vehicle (EV) charging, hydrogen fuel, or both.

The agreements track policy developments. In a decidedly pro-EV and hydrogen policy move, the EU last month expanded financing arrangements and also started to tender for EV charging point construction under the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Facility. A fast-charging station will be built every 60 kilometers along highways, and a hydrogen filling station for heavy transportation will be built every 150 kilometers.

Currently, the EU offers five fast public chargers every 100 kilometers, according to Finland-based EV charging platform Virta.

The new program will allocate $1.73 billion (€1.5 billion) per year to build EV charging, LNG bunkering, and other alternative fuel infrastructure on trans-European road and rail networks.

In the US, Tesla is building a fast-charging network, and President Joe Biden has pledged that the federal government will set up 500,000 charging units in five years, though funding for that promise has yet to materialize in the spending bills that are being debated by the US Congress.
EV charging every 150 km in France

TotalEnergies plans to spend up to $230 million (€200 million) to install EV charging points at 200 of its service stations along highways in its home country of France by 2023.

By then, TotalEnergies also aims to offer to its French customers "a high-power charging station every 150 kilometers," including 100 stations in urban areas, it said on 28 October.

The move expands on its existing French and global EV charging offering. The company's portfolio includes installed or planned EV charging point networks in Paris (2,300), Amsterdam (22,000), London (1,700), and Singapore (1,500).

Not only will it build its own EV charging points in France, but it plans to compete in tenders held by French road operators to install even more chargers.

The company appears to be following the pattern it set elsewhere in Europe. In September, it won a Dutch state tender to equip the city of Antwerp with EV charging points, for which it will also provide renewable energy, for example from offshore wind farms.

Moving into renewable energy trading and generation is part of TotalEnergies' net-zero strategy, which aims for low-carbon electricity making up 40% of its sales mix by 2050.
Hydrogen network mulled in the UK

BP and the truck division of German automaker Daimler, which also owns the Mercedes-Benz brand, have agreed to study the feasibility of up to 25 hydrogen refueling stations across the UK by 2030, according to a 27 October statement.

BP would build, operate, and supply the stations fueled with green hydrogen, while Daimler would supply hydrogen-fuel cell trucks to its UK customers starting in 2025.

"Hydrogen is critical to decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors—and for heavy and long-distance freight it is sometimes the only answer," said Emma Delaney, BP's executive vice president for customers and products.

BP pledged to grow its hydrogen business to a 10% share of core markets in its 2020 energy transition plan.
EV, hydrogen "opportunities" in the US

Shell Oil Products US' retail subsidiary plans to acquire 248 Timewise-brand convenience store and fueling station sites in Texas from Landmark, it said in a 26 October statement.

The acquisition will also allow Shell to grow its store sales and retail footprint in the US, where its wholesalers, dealers, and joint venture partners operate over 13,000 Shell-branded sites.

Shell said the deal would allow it to offer customers more EV charging, hydrogen, biofuels, and lower-carbon premium fuels, but it would do so "in step with society" per its Powering Progress strategy.

Under the strategy, Shell said it would invest between $1 and $2 billion every year in low-carbon energy such as charging for EVs, hydrogen, biofuels, and electricity generated by wind and solar power, depending on demand.

Shell, which has come under legal pressure to cut carbon emissions in its home country, just this week added an absolute emissions target to its existing goal of reaching net-zero emissions by 2050, covering its operations and the emissions from energy products it sells.

At the same time, the company fended off investor suggestions that it should spin-off its renewable activity. Eni appears to be starting a trend for oil majors with this month's announcement that it would sell its joined-up retail and renewable business.

Good morning....... John Redwood@johnredwoodChina, Russia, Brazil, India - the big carbon dioxide producers - are lining up to avoid meaningful commitments to make changes. That means we should not close down things here in order to import from them.7:07 am · 30 Oct 2021·Twitter Web App

pvb - I'm looking at the science over a many thousand year period rather then just since 1880 when many records began or even since the 1950's to 1980's when a good number of records began.

Sea level has been rising for the last 10,000 years, they have risen by 140ft during this time which = circa 44 cm per 100 years. Since 1900 sea levels have risen by just 25cm over the past 120 years which is around 50% less then average per 100 years over the past 10,000 years.

Often hear about the flooding in Venice. The highest flood ever recorded is 18 inches just over a year ago. Since 1400 Venice has sunk by a little over 18 inches.

Venice is basically built on sand banks, hundreds of thousand upon hundreds of thousands of tons of buildings built on these sand banks have caused them to sink and continue to sink by circa 2 1/2 inches per hundred years.

As for share buy backs, means either a company does not know how to deploy capital effectively and efficiently or more likely they are a simple way for CEO's and CFO's to make sure senior executives are being paid on a basis of earnings per share and all they're doing is pumping up which is nothing but a form of insider trading.

More often than not after a set of share buy backs the share price is lower than before the buy back begun, just that the companies EPS has risen as usually senior executives bonus depend on their companies EPS and not a lot else.

If one looks back at climate history just over the past 1,000 years, a lot, lot worse has happened.

The planet is naturally warming because we're coming out of the mini-ice age that happened circa 250 years ago and will continue to warm for the next couple of hundred years irrespective what humans do.

That's news to many! ;-)

loganair 29 Oct '21 - 13:49 - 18932 of 18945

The worlds temperature is mostly to do with things like the tilt of the Earth, the distance the Earth is from the sun, both of which go in many hundred's if not thousands of years cycles and how much energy the Sun is giving out at any particular time and very little to do with how much or how little CO2 there is in the atmosphere.

So... little to do with the atmosphere? No wonder the climate on the Moon is the same as on Earth...

loganair, I'm sorry to be the one who brings you this information: but science is what it is, not what you want it to be.

Andy RoadKing24 Sep 2021 7:31AMI think this worth reposting:Imagine being frightened, poor, cold and hungry.What happens in a once in every 25 year British winter with a 2ft blanket of snow covering the UK and much more snow in some areas from the Midlands up.What happens when the snowfall is followed by a 4 to 6 week weather system high over the UK and temperatures are averaging -3 degree during the day and -10 at night and no wind to speak of.What happens to all the electric ambulances, fire engines, snowploughs, lorries, trains, buses and cars trying to operate under these conditions.How do we heat hospitals, schools, offices, factories, shops , warehouses, supermarkets and millions of homes with electric elements which are bigger versions of the elements you find in your kettle.Imagine the chaos and panic as everyone suffers from no heating and power blackouts and tens of thousands of people dying because of the cold, no food and no access to health care.All because of a new religion created by the Green Taliban aka Greta the goblin of doom and Extinction Rebellion and a bunch of clown politicians.The problem is we will be taken down a dead end road doing immense damage to our wealth and freedoms (while we look at the rest of the world with their cheaper energy, warm homes, personal transport and lovely holidays in other countries) until we finally come to our senses. By which time the UK will resemble a cold wet version of Cuba. .... Daily Telegraph

Hurricane Jack28 Oct 2021 1:37PMThe inconvenient truth is that Tom is peddling a lie. Perhaps he feels he has to to keep his job but he has signed up to a misanthropic, end of the world cult. CO2 is good for the planet not bad. It's plant food. Today it is around 414 parts per million whereas life on Earth has seen much higher levels in the past up to 6,000ppm as evidenced in ice core and ocean floor sediment samples.The Earth has also been much warmer than today. We live in the Pleistocene ice age, the coldest period in Earth's history although we are lucky to be living in a warmer bit of the cold part in between regular glaciations, the Milankovitch cycles. The Earth is coming off the Holocene Thermal Maximum and has been cooling for about 6,000 years. The miniscule uptick in temperatures since industrialisation is insignificant noise in an overall downward trend.CO2 is also on a downward trend. Plant life cannot survive in levels less than 150 parts per million. That should be more of a concern because the vast majority of CO2 thrown into the Earth's atmosphere by volcanic and seismic activity in Earth's earlier existence has been re-sequestered in great extinctions caused by asteroid impacts. The Earth's volcanic and seismic activity has settled down and so too the CO2 released into the atmosphere. Human industrial activity has increased CO2 slightly and that's great for the greening of the planet.The evidence is in the history and is completely contrary to what the alarmist, end of nigh preaching cult leaders are screaming at us today.Of course, no one likes pollution and harmful particulates in the atmosphere but that's about cleaning up to be healthier and is quite a different discussion altogether.....

[spawny100] 29/10/2021 17:18

I agree that all our efforts will be completely fruitless in terms of changing atmospheric CO2, temperatures and global weather patterns. I strongly dispute your statement that we are seeing the evidence with our own eyes. What evidence are you talking about?

[smith99] 29/10/2021 16:47

PVB. I wish I followed your example by not using electricity or a vehicle. Trouble is I enjoy a steak every now and again, and dont feel guilty about how I live my life. The brainwashed hypocracy of you lot is unbelievable.

[kkclimber56] 29/10/2021 16:31

All the evidence suggests otherwise and as we are seeing with our own eyes today it is already happening on an increasing scale. Don't get me wrong. I am not a Greta screaming for action for the simple reason I don't see any evidence that anything can be done to prevent the inevitable. We are totally deluding ourselves in believing that electric cars heat pumps and bans on international travel will make an iota of difference. Even if they did most people will simply not be prepared to putter hands in their pockets or accept any incontinence until its too late.
