Right oh! Who are the "Rich"?

//Only a statement of the bleeding obvious if you accept that human activity is responsible for climate change at all though :o//

Not overly obvious to some obviously,,,,

gromit: "The Rich are people who can afford to waste energy. Production of energy is primarily the cause of greenhouse gases which affect our climate" - yes but everyone who wants personal private transport has it, even those on the rock n roll. From this we must conclude that motoring is too cheap.

07.58. Spot on again Gromit.

At least nobody's used 'Chelsea tractor' yet. If gas guzzler's the limit we may yet see a thread develop.

In conclusion, get your eyes checked, Gromit, then get the Bumper Book of Cars on Our Roads for reference.

// everyone who wants personal private transport has it, //

I fear you are really out of touch there Tora. Poor people would love private transport but can’t afford it. People who rely on public transport do so usually because it is the only option available to them, not because they like it.

Of the two seriously rich people I know, one has a golf & the other doesn't have a car at all.

And bus services have been decimated.

There's always an exception to the rule.

gromit go to any council estate and try and park, they are chocker. Ok not with 100k range rovers but you can get a jam jar for a couple of hundred.

Gromit

You've hit the nail on the head.

Khandro - perhaps coming to a conclusion based on two rich people you know, doesn't lead to a strong argument?

It's like saying "I know two people from Scotland, and both have curly hair...therefore all Scots have curly hair."

but of course

[Khandro]

sp, I didn't imply that at all, it's simply an anecdote.
