Salute!

Back to the start, if we may.

I looked back at my original impetus from the most viewed Climate Change blog on the 'net and found this pearl from the news article that stimulated me to post here due to the huge number of folks interested in the RAF


This what I mean about greenies not understanding chemical reactions or thermodynamics or even biology. Not sure if the Secretary is a true greenie, and perhaps is just being PC. If talking about "renewable" versus emissions, use of biofuels is not "carbon neutral" best I can determine, huh?

In any case, the used vegetable oil will emit the evil gas, C02. And so will the other fuels the Secretary mentions. Even electric jets will need to get the amps from someplace, and I have a hard time seeing Britain covered in PV panels and thousands of windmills on the coast.

Perhaps the "net zero" is an economic ploy - buy carbon offsets?
