Storm in a teacup

[Barman]

I doubt very much if F1 has a 'vast' impact on the environment compared to, for example, the 600 million motor vehicles in the world or the world's cargo shipping fleet.

Ah... but it is an additional impact, unnecessary while driving to work an back each day would probably be considered necessary by those that have no alternative.

Just as three million new homes will produce an additional impact.

[Uncle Mort]

Additional yes, vast no. It's no good saving the odd penny here or there if you're wasting thousands of pounds elsewhere.

[Darwins Selection]

Additional yes, vast no. It's no good saving the odd penny here or there if you're wasting thousands of pounds elsewhere.

Quite, just ask Growler.

I agree with Darwin. . . 

That may top the list of your errors of judgement for the week.

So why encourage the public to unplug their TV while building three million new homes then?

Imagine if it was to be banned and all that tax was lost! The slack-jawed Jock would shit himself!

He looks as tho he has shat himself...

Back on topic:

Is this entirely sensible?

'Bout as sensible as leaving the child in a hotel room whilst you go out on the piss ~ and that seems to be acceptable nowadays.

I’m sick of this climate change ecobabble…

Just this morning it was climate change, climate change, blah, blah, blah but the storm tide wasn’t as bad as 1953 – how can that be if it really is a recent man-made phenomenon?

I’m not actually denying it but agree with Darwin that it probably isn’t our fault although HM Gov is do sure it is that we have to face punitive taxes and taxes on larger engined vehicles to prevent it.

Yet….

Formula One (F1 now we have to call it) has a vast impact on the environment.

Not only do the cars consume vast amounts of fuel during the race and practice (and the practice sessions between races) but every other week thousands of tonnes of cars, equipment and personnel are flown (or driven) around the world to each event. At each race weekend, hundreds of thousands of fans are driven, bussed or flown to the circuit at vast cost to the environment. Plus of course, all the journalists and tonnes of TV and radio broadcast equipment and let’s not forget the ‘sky cam’ helicopter or copters that hover above the track for the duration of the event for that ‘special’ camera shot.

I don’t hear HMG calling for F1 (or any other motor sport for that matter) to be banned to reduce climate change. Why?

Wankers. 

You mean you really don't know? I'm surprised BM.

In a word, Bernie Ecclestone (that's two words actually, but you know what I mean) and his millions of pounds of donations to the Labour party coffers!

All the news people seem very disappointed with this non event.

They were looking forward to at least a death and a couple of towns underwater, now they all seem keen to find someone pissed off enough to sue someone for it.

I wish to sue someone cause my house didn't flood and I didn't loose all my worldly goods - a bit far fetched perchance but this is the UK, now where's my claim form
