1. How sure are we that man's activities are making a significant difference to the whole Earth climate?
2. Is it possible to make everyone on the Earth follow the mechanism to change the climate in some way, and if they don't can we make a change at all?
We are looking to introduce a couple of extra forum categories very shortly and I'm going to suggest that we also create one to house topics related to 'engineering for creating a sustainable future' or something along those lines.
Any help with naming it would be greatly appreciated!
Before doing that is there any chance of making it so that those of us who actually prefer a full view all new stuff visible, 'shelf' people' rather than 'cupboard' people can do some meaningful cross-forum search in one step, instead of having to poll down several separately to see what is going on and what has been moved?
in a perfect world a forum-like view of all new posts in all sub catagories since T-Time D-Day would be a good starting page for those of us who find that partitioning into badly fitting definitions a distraction. Or better still, an all-posts forum category that is just another view on the same data.

It has actually got me thinking as the Savoy Place Virtual Club doesn't seem to be the right category either. Should we have a new (additional) category for something like "International Engineering" or something similar?

You read my mind Alasdair... ?

In case anyone is thinking of renewables to power us, a recent article has outlined the costs:
wattsupwiththat.com/2019/11/30/excess-costs-of-uk-weather-dependent-renewable-energy-2018/
These costs compared with CC Gas turbines are interesting and show the real effect of our extreme electricity prices. Huge investment in wind and solar produce a very disappointing generation ability, with the requirement to have a spinning reserve of gas turbines always available.
