Not debating whether it's real or not... But the UK has seen some of the coldest, wettest July/Augusts on record. We are going to have 5 or so nice days in September and the BBC couldn't get anymore excited about telling us we are all going to die.

I particularly like the "well July might have been a bit wet BUT JUNE WAS SO HOT CLIMATE CHANGE CLIMATE CHANGE" bit

Tired of it.

My birthday is in August and it rains more often than not. Nothing new.

Look at where at all these "super hot" temperatures are recorded, all airports or places where there is considerable expansion in building causing UHIE.

I'm all for looking after the planet but even if it did warm slightly (I actually think it'll go the other way), wouldn't that be nice? Cold kills far more than heat does.

They weigh 2+ tons!! Rip through tyres and **** up the roads, not to mention the resources required to build and then dispose of them. Quite happy with the internal combustion engine

We can't have the unthinkable happen and have Antarctica melt and open up an entire new continent fit for life. No that would be terrible for some reason.

The only bit that's melting is under a belt of recently discovered volcanoes.

He's quite the Tesla enthusiast, isn't he? Musk's marketing department should be paying him by the letter for all those Linkedin posts of his.

Indeed. I must admit "IF" I had to get an electric car, it would be a Tesla.....or the Audi RS one

In a round about manner, yes but he's quite a nice chap for a lycralist and EV chap. He's already admitted that the Tesla software is verging on dangerous

I have neighbours with 2 electric cars.

When I brought my current car home for the first time, they asked "Is it the electric one?". They got a steely stare for a few seconds before a "of course not".

One of them is also on the Parish Council. :shudder:

Wow! That is ****.

I can live with navigation systems being wrong, safety features going haywire, the car telling me off for things I'm not doing and the emergency services randomly being called; but that...

I prefer less tech now. I had so many gadgets on the Mercedes it was annoying. car going mental with the active lane assist on. Especially on the M25 where there are so many random lines everywhere it confuses the sh..... sheer life out of it.

or when it would slam on the breaks when someone opened a car door ahead.
