i don't believe anything the news tell's me wilf..i dont believe in global warming it's a massive lie to line pocket's i think..

what was happening around the world in the 1800's or 1700's or before that in term's of drought's/ flooding etc. 

simply answer we don't know..because we couldn't communicate or spread the new's etc..

there could of been huge storm's battering america 3 thousand year's ago.worse than we get now..

but we just don't know..

 

 

 

I believe there are hundreds of factors to climate change, weather cycles etc...both natural and man made...the earth is continually evolving, changing shape, spinning very slightly differently year on year...coupled with our own small part in the grand scheme of things, with pollution, over population, de forestation etc.... I probably agree that on climate change alone our part is small, but on over all polluting our planet we are killing it and ourselves....

I think we have to believe our eyes though mate and accept that what we are doing is not good......not one bloke is going to change anything, but if enough people do a couple of small things it will help.

It may not be a cure, but it will help

Kids hair test the other week in my old area found dangerous levels of arsenic, all out of the air they breath.......mental ! 

Kid was 3 !

Thing is these are poor inner city kids, they don't count. Nobody gives a toss about the quality of the air they breathe.

Low emission zones and ultra low emission zones in city centres are a climate tax...they dont solve the problem because millions of vehicles trundle into the cities everyday pumping harmful pollutants into the air and in such confined spaces into our lungs....but the coffers are filling up whilst it continues!!...I've sat in clean air seminars, most recently in Sheffield university....behaviour change is what the councils are championing...we will walk or ride a bike...what about the buses, trains, taxis, lorries, plant, generators....plus millions of people will keep paying the tax, which I've no idea where it goes??

We are polluting the air, regardless of climate change or not, there.are air monitors in inner city schools in.London which show a dangerous level of toxins in the air. A recent discussion I had with some one im working with in London said the monitor in his kids school in the reception classes showed the levels of toxins were so high it was more like what youd see in a Mot station than a school....

Even if you dont believe in climate change, which is only a part of the overall picture imo, there is no doubt we are filling our kids lungs with shit.... 

i agree with you there. we are making dirty air that sadly people are breathing in.and there's no doubt that will ruin your health..

here's another bit of nonsence..

Zero emissions, construction digger, runs out of power in 2 hours. Requiring it to be recharged using a diesel generator for 8 hours..

what's the sence in that lol

My kids have got us recycling properly, particularly my youngest girl...they done an end of school play which was all.about polluting the oceans, particularly plastic waste...so she was home and putting signs on the bins what went where etc....I'll admit I was crap before.... she was showing me a road in India they've made from recycled plastic....

We all hunt, and I'd say part of it is being out in nature, I personally love that...either the sea or the land, huntings more than just killing for most of us, we probably understand nature and the affects if bad management better than any of the tree hugger types trying to ram the green issues down our throats...I think sometimes you've got to agree with the sentiment even if your not on the same side....

Now mate, here is a question:

The technology your company has developed for cars, could something like that be upscaled for a power station chimney ?

watch the 53 second video near the top of the page tomo..

that big genny will kick out more soot than the mini digger.if the digger had a diesel engine in it..

I read recently that a lot of countries are closing down their dirty industries so they can claim they are doing their bit towards reducing their carbon footprint. But all they do is import stuff from the third world or china which have dirtier emissions than we have. So overall carbon production worldwide is increased. Mad.

I know mate....I'm working on a bridge solution, done loads of trials on plant and other engine types...but it's a struggle to move away from.the government taking money off of us in charges with no real solution.... I said in another post about this (and I wont go on about it on this one!! Lol) that overseas markets are moving quicker for us than our own country...and London is the hardest nut to crack, yet has the biggest problem....electric may work on a city run about vehicle, but all commercial/plant vehicles whether in a city or trucking will.be running on diesel for the rest of our life times.....or maybe water!!!

We're working on up scaling now mate, particularly in domestic and industrial heating...

A big push is the huge generator plants that kick in to boost the electricity when other power sources are lagging...as I said a bit a while back, nuclear ain't the full answer, or wind!!

Any combustion engine can be fitted with our units, we need to build bespoke models above 16L....

The heating design works on a different principle, which is in early stages....and if im honest the technical brains in the business bamboozle me a bit at times with it!! Lol

It's a joke mate, you can buy "tokens" to reduce your footprint, but actually physically do nothing??

Well that dont solve anything, the same as charging people to go into city centres, the end result is the same!!

Just re read....when you say chimney, I presume you are looking at what eventually comes out?

Our tech reduces the emission  at combustion stage, so if the power station is using fossil fuels to make the burn, yes we can...

maybe the uk government are worried that they cant tax battery car's like they can petrol/diesel car's..

Fuel tax is a significant source of income for the government, with the Treasury expected to bring in around £28.8 billion this financial year alone..

i hope you can make a big success with the invention mate..if you can get it off the ground.there's no doubt it will give us cleaner air and save live's..
