| [Commuting by train cost me £90 a month. The trains are always late and they stink. But at least I keep my car off the roads. And if in 10 years I feel it's time to give up biking because the situation is getting worse and worse, then I'll do it.]
Are trains that fuel effeceint they use huge amounts of fossilfuels even when there empty even if all the trains were stationary the network is still using electricity.
95% of the time there passenger free its only at peek time that the cost/mile equals out in co2 emmisions compared to other forms of transport.
What amazes me is it's like the coversion to a veggy they probably eaten and worn half a dozen cows in their life time and all of a sudden after their conversion everyone else is a murderer its funny weve all been to school got a job raised a family, worked were weve had to not all ways by choice then someone like 749R comes along and your a planet destroyer.
I didnt wake up one morning and say today I'm going to produce as much CO2 as I can to **** the planet.
I live in a Capatalist society like everyone who resides in this country and most choices are made for me whether I like it or not.
I'd rather put my efforts to keeping my local hospital open/getting proper retirement care for my father/not having to worry if my daughter is going to get home safe from a night out/Being able to walk through my town centre without getting your head stoved in.
these are the real tangible issues that effect my life now not some computer analysis that is based on what ever is thrown in to get the figures that they need.
heres one
Police have said that a 100% of drivers caught speeding were doing over a 100 mph big headlines public outrage govern all cars to 70mph la de da.
in the small print number of cars caught speeding 1.
you can make anything sound as bad as you like as long as you manipulate the figures to suit your needs or as good.
unemployment
immigration
hospital waiting times
appointments at the doctors
weapons of mass destruction is a good one where are they, I thought Saddam could unlesh destruction in 10 minutes on us.
All politicians will tell you anything and back it up with stats to do what they want that suits them at the time.
statistics there meaningless your either affected or not,thats the big gamble of life to be in the right place at the right time or in the wrong place and who can tell where that is.
