@@MusikCassette That doesn't work either... People need to commute and will never chose public transport, that doesn't from their suburb/village all the way to their place of work directly. You need to create a dense network of places, where you can legally park cars for free, then you can impose sizable fines for parking on the streets. But it won't work one without the other. If you only impose fines, people, who park there regularly will simply consider it as a cost of running their business, whatever it may be, and attempt to reflect that in their demanded wage/prices and all you'll achieve is creating inflation... Having these parking network paid for will have similar effects. Only building these parking places doesn't incentivize people to park there and move a bit on foot either... Only by creating penalty and acceptable alternative will you solve this.

1:06 Clarkson: " Out there there is an ambulance stuck in traffic jam because of cycle lanes being made" Well would the porschembulance fare any better with a traffic jam?
London is a dense flat city perfect for biking, If biking was safe and convenient enough it would reduce car congestion which could allow for even faster ambulances. If you look at a city like Amsterdam they have the best bike baths, but also really efficient car traffic. I don't agree with banning private cars, or the government money laundering, but owning your own car drastically heightens your carbon footprint and more people biking directly reduces traffic congestion for your ambulance.
cArBoN fOoTpRiNt yeah guess who started that phrase? BP. British Petroleum. Stop caring about the pathetic amount of emissions you emit and start caring about the insanely huge amount of emissions actual polluters emitt.
Yeah except "your carbon footprint" is a marketing campaign by BP in the 90s and 70% of pollution worldwide comes from industry. If literally everyone in the world started eating sustainable food, wearing sustainable clothes, using sustainable transport and recycling like a saint tomorrow, not a single problem would be solved. So don't give me that. The only boot print you should be worried about is on your face and there's nothing carbon about it.

Saying nobody cycles because nobody wants to when there's no decent bicycle lane is like saying "there's no need for a bridge, do you see any people swimming across the river bare hands?"
1:20 that’s me and my girlfriend walking in the background, after just having an argument on whether or not we just walked past Jeremy Clarkson, and in doing so ruining their take and getting scowled at by Jeremy as a consequence.
Interesting points he made. I did some math regarding CO2 emissions by eating. According so some numbers I found somewhere, cycling burns about 20 kcal/km. Gathering some more numbers I found somewhere that the average consumption per person per day is around 3500 kcal and the CO2 emissions from food about 1100 kg/year, so that would mean 0.86 g CO2/kcal, or 17g/km. Even if you double that to have some safety margin, that's still a lot better than combustion cars with over 100g/km.
@@JuanRanklin Going vegan is a cancer, it literally harms men, soy and other such products are suspected or already confirmed to harm men, since they at the very least reduce the testoterone that men produce. But that's info that's not talked about, how convinient, who would've thought that on a society where men are being openly being discriminated against, such things would've happen.
Also "Average CO2 consumption from food" will also include things like meat, which is notoriously bad for the environment. I am sure you can drastically reduce reduce the CO2 emissions from food by choosing wisely what food to buy.
Sure, a vegan cyclist may have less CO2 emission than a normal cyclist. I went with averages because I'd assume people would just scale up their normal consumption instead of eating specifically to offset the calories used to cycle. You could also say that cyclists should eat a teaspoon of sugar per km, which would be a lot better in terms of CO2. But I don't think that would be a realistic assumption.
Add in the fuel it takes to transport that extra food needed to fuel the cyclists and the emissions from cows and pigs needed extra to feed the cyclists and then add on the extra emissions from cars having to travel at slower speeds for a longer time way below the speed limit and you would probably find it actually contributes to global warming just as much. So the only way to make it have less impact is to ruduce emissions from cars in the first place using electric cars. Problem with that is that will just increase energy usage for electricity dramatically and untill we Can make sure that all eclectic consumption comes from renewable sources then its still contributing to global warming. Another thing is then you jave to take into account the contribution to global warming when making these electric cars the battery and how long they last. The only way to make the efficient when it comes to global warming is to make them as long lasting as possible so new cars wont have to ba made over and over again in such large number but they wont they will make the batterys last a minimum of say 5 years maybe 10 and then they will need to be replaced as this is the most beneficial when it comes economically due to other things not needing to be replaced in a typical engine. No car company is thinking about the environment when making electric cars thay are thinking profit. And theres will stop if they are not using electric cars when new legislation comes stating that all new cars have to be electric. So why would they want there cars to be problem free for such a large amount of time. No one would need to buy a new car. So the only way around this is to make them to brake withing a certain time which is most likely foing to be either the moter or the batterys.
@IllGold21 Doesn't answer the question though does it. What's your basis for this? Who gets to call themselves British? How do you define it? What difference should someone's complexion make on their nationality if they are an official citizen of the country?
@IllGold21 lol of course you have no answer. Well, if you want anyone to blame for me "taking over white countries", blame Britain. If they didn't want me, they shouldn't have colonised India in the first place and just left well enough alone. Maybe then some of us wouldn't have come over. Or maybe you should blame the King for asking citizens of the commonwealth to come help rebuild Britain after the war because of all the men they lost. Just saying.
But don't you agree that so many of his arguments are just plain flatly wrong. It's like sophism produced in chain here. He seriously thinks that not producing a 1.5 ton car and all the petrol consumption and delivery that come with it less environmentally friendly than a 500 calories per day superior need that can be FULLFILED OTHERWISE than by importing avocados, etc, by plane, OBVIOUSLY. That's a sophism by intentionally excluding other self evident low carbon cost alternatives (boat is extremely efficient for exemple). What a shame.
@@Darwho Yes this was well documented. The scene is well composed. I'm really not sure he even believes what he's saying though, so for me it comes across as just plain lying. It's like watching somebody spread misinformation in order to publicly take a political/economic position for personal gain.
his argument is tearing down trees to make a cycle lane they won't need because private cars are going to be banned in london by the same group deciding to tear down trees is bad for the environment.
Strictly speaking, you do exhale CO2, the best you can do for the environment is to breathe less, and therefore evade activities, which make you breathe more, like exercise... Now, the effect of something like this is minuscule, when compared other sources of CO2, but it is a contributing factor. No, the real problem is this. We only keep about 3% more energy now due to all the greenhouse gasses, than before industrial revolution. It would literally be easier and cheaper to increase cloud cover somewhere over the ocean, so that we would cover 3% more of Earth's surface and stabilize the climate. Remember, it's not the CO2, that is the problem here, the problem is, we don't know how to extract that extra energy from our atmosphere and either utilize it, store it or radiate it back in to space. And that is what's actually causing global warming.
The guy doesn't have two brain cells to rub together. This is not how food consumption and exercise work. Your digestive system does not work like a fuel tank. It is entirely possible to add exercise to your daily routine without eating more. also, he's using arguments against cycling that are way more relevant to his precious cars.
What's crazy is that HE IS OVERWEIGHT and complaining about more food consumption among cyclists! He needs to stop eating so much before he can tell others to do so.
@@comet.x Nobody is ever banning private cars and you know it, so it's just a hypocritical strawman argument. I laugh at him pretending to care about those trees as his ideal world of pollution kills millions of them.
I cycle every day 30 minutes to work and still totally agree with Jeremy...it's just insane to knock down trees who needed tens of years to grow and to spend £ 42 Mio. on a bicycle lane!!!
Same here. I cycle religiously, but these cycle lanes have to be well thought of and planned. Dont just go with a lazy solution as to cut down trees to make way for it.
He wasn’t on about having a bike. He was on about having theses cycle lanes, and trees are being pulled down to have them go back to 0:14 and he will tell you
Shut down the country because of a 0.06% death rate flu, and guess what, the politicians and "experts" who lecture us like kids are violating the very same rules they set!
Not necessary. I am assuming you are referring to the "cutting trees to put cycling lines" bit (not to the ambulance being stuck in traffic). According to my rough calculations (rough because I took carbon consumption of an average tree from Google), it would take 60 trees a year to consume the same amount of carbon I would produce by going to work in my car (not a Humvee mind you) for a week. If cutting 60 trees would make at least one person go to work by bicycle it might be worth the trade. Of course, cutting trees is not an optimal solution, but not necessary a bad one.
0:55 Saying that the ambulance was stuck in traffic due to a bike lane is missing the mark by a mile. Bike lanes should be separated from car lanes by retractable street bollards. Google them, they can be driven over. If the bike lane were done properly, the ambulance would've driven through the bike lane, passing any traffic. Besides, I never saw an ambulance stuck in bicycle traffic...
I think I’m seeing a pattern emerging here: Drivetribe is basically Jeremy telling various people to f##k off. Very refreshing and on that basis I have just subscribed.

Definitely. In fact, the best show ever, James May sits around very carefully assembling some kind of gadget while Clarkson tells him to hurry and fuck off while hamster crashes very expensive cars.
the funny side of Clarkson, which I love, is that he mingles together true facts, half truths, half lies, and plain false statements that are just funny to listen to. He has been doing this for 40 years. And then he leaves people arguing about all of these, because nobody can't obviously agree on everything he said, and therefore, because of laziness you either reject everything or embrace everything he says, and in the end you are left with total chaos.

He’s so right, I’m killing the environment by eating an extra snack after my cycling commute. I should definitely go back to driving my 1.5 ton mobile carbon monoxide factory that definitely required fewer emissions to manufacture than an avocado through an hour of traffic everyday. How genius!

@@ElvenMans Short term, maybe, depends how many people use it. Long term, no, if people cycle instead of using a car, less oil has to be used, so less "co2" is pumped out of the ground. Those trees will die and will probably end up as fuel for a power plant, maybe they serve a few years as furniture, but in the end it is very likely the co2 ends up back in the atmosphere. The co2 that stayed in the ground cause less cars were required stays there, so yes it might actually be better to take them down if the only thing you care about is co2 emmisions. That they have more value than that is clear, kinda nice to have a green city, but in terms of CO2, your argument is a bit problematic.
super tomorrow honestly idk how it is in Europe, but here in the US, bicyclists are legally pedestrians (pedestrians can’t be in the street) but they’re also “licenseless drivers” meaning they have rights to the road. So basically these absolute retards use this legal ambiguity to give themselves the full road to themselves. Where I live, bicyclists purposefully ride in the street to slow down traffic. And it’s intentional. They want people to get mad and yell at them. Then they file complaints with the police for HaRRAsSmEnT. Of course, you can’t report the bicyclists for being retards who ride in the middle of traffic, because they don’t have license plates. It would be awfully nice to have decent bicyclists like yourself here.
Truth? More like insane troll logic. "If you cycle, you have to eat. And producing food creates carbon emissions. Therefore its better to drive a big car." lol
Bird_Dog the issue is flying avocados in to eat which we cannot grow ( at least in large numbers) in the uk. your absolutely right people need to eat but claiming your saving the environment then eating a food which has to be flown in to prevent it spoiling nullifies that. I’d argue this is less of an argument against cycling and more an argument for home grown food which takes way less greenhouse emissions to get here

I could listen to Jeremy rant about anything, cause most of the time he is right. And even he isn't right about something, he makes a good argument about it. I could listen to him for hours and not get bored.
You really think he made a good argument in this video, talking about the calories that are wasted by humans cycling? Are you aware that people go to gyms for the sole purpose of burning calories and stay in fit? Should we close gyms because they threaten the environment and move on motorized wheelchairs to save calories? Bikes are one of the most efficient machines we have and they help us stay in fit. The only reasonable argument he made is about the trees and the fact that the said road will be closed sometime in the future. Cycling is not bad for the environment. Poor choices of government may be bad for the environment, but cycling is not. Regarding what he said about public transport really reflects how spoiled and detached from normal people he is. Just wash your hands and if you get sick you will be more robust for the next time. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
If only Clarkson is prime minister... Engines will be required by law to have at least 8 cylinders 5 liters is the smallest engine size, 400 horsepower is the minimum. bicycles are only for children and its illegal to ride it on the road. cars must be wider than 2 meters and longer than 5 meters. Pilots go to prison if the plane’s AC temperature exceeds 24c. electric cars are banned for at least 25 years.
@VFT - WHAT?? I think you should rethink you position. As is said in the video, the Mayor of London wants to cut down a row of trees for the bike lane (Ecologically Unfriendly Idea) and what if City Hall decides a car lane must be sacrificed. If so,more traffic congestion and more fuel being burnt leading to more Hydrocarbons in the Atmosphere.
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why we should ENCOURAGE cycling. If more people cycled or took public transport, there'd be less cars on the road, meaning less traffic, meaning ambulances and such could reach faster.
The difference with us dutch is, that we built the complete infastructure around cyclists, and that resulted in room for every one, including the trees!
First issue: Without cycling infrastructure, nobody will take the bike even on sunny days. Taking offence nobody is cycling in mixed traffic is like taking offence for people not wanting to cycle to their deaths(especially since you almost have to cycle as fast as motorized traffic in order not to get run over, which indeed will cause you to sweat). Second issue: yes you have to eat the calories you spend while cycling, but this is from food grown in the past 2-3 years or so, which consequently has absorbed the same amount of carbon from the atmosphere in past 2-3 years, as you exhaust while cycling. This opposed to petrol which is carbon absorbed form the atmosphere million of years ago. Third: Cycle lanes actually decrease car traffic, and thus less ambulances stuck in traffic. If you want an example of decent non-car-centric cities, just look to the Netherlands. I can tell you they have more trees than London on average. Yes, some trees might have to be sacrificed, the alternative is either to turn (all) car lanes in to bike lanes, making car traffic even worse due to less lanes/direction or to demolish all buildings and widen the roads, which would arguably cost a lot more than 42 million. Cutting down the trees is indeed removing a carbon sink, but I'm pretty confident the amount of traffic jams in London generate more carbon than all trees in the Greater London area would ever absorb, so betting on those few trees to absorb a significant amount of carbon for them to remain is at the very best silly.
Thomas Sowell said it best: "It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong." Also: “Much of the social history of the Western world over the past three decades has involved replacing what worked with what sounded good." Finally: “The first lesson of economics is scarcity: There is never enough of anything to satisfy all those who want it. The first lesson of politics is to disregard the first lesson of economics.” Yes, all Sowell.

I think it's important to he able to have alternate modes of transportation so you can actually get to places without a car. It's like you're on house arrest in some places if you don't have a car. Even if the place you want to get to is close, it is often a dangerous walk because of busy roads with no side walks or bike lanes.

so let us leave the trees. just get rid of the cars. Problem solved and the street becomes even more beautiful.
@@MusikCassette That doesn't work either... People need to commute and will never chose public transport, that doesn't from their suburb/village all the way to their place of work directly. You need to create a dense network of places, where you can legally park cars for free, then you can impose sizable fines for parking on the streets. But it won't work one without the other. If you only impose fines, people, who park there regularly will simply consider it as a cost of running their business, whatever it may be, and attempt to reflect that in their demanded wage/prices and all you'll achieve is creating inflation... Having these parking network paid for will have similar effects. Only building these parking places doesn't incentivize people to park there and move a bit on foot either... Only by creating penalty and acceptable alternative will you solve this.
@@looseycanon "You need to create a dense network of places" quite the opposite: If you insist on bringing 2 tonnes of metal into the city center, you should pay a premium for all the inconvenience you cause.
"all you'll achieve is creating inflation." y would that be?

London is a dense flat city perfect for biking, If biking was safe and convenient enough it would reduce car congestion which could allow for even faster ambulances. If you look at a city like Amsterdam they have the best bike baths, but also really efficient car traffic. I don't agree with banning private cars, or the government money laundering, but owning your own car drastically heightens your carbon footprint and more people biking directly reduces traffic congestion for your ambulance.

yeah guess who started that phrase? BP. British Petroleum.
Stop caring about the pathetic amount of emissions you emit and start caring about the insanely huge amount of emissions actual polluters emitt.
Yeah except "your carbon footprint" is a marketing campaign by BP in the 90s and 70% of pollution worldwide comes from industry. If literally everyone in the world started eating sustainable food, wearing sustainable clothes, using sustainable transport and recycling like a saint tomorrow, not a single problem would be solved. So don't give me that. The only boot print you should be worried about is on your face and there's nothing carbon about it.

F i i N Y X We’re not all virgins buddy
Interesting points he made. I did some math regarding CO2 emissions by eating. According so some numbers I found somewhere, cycling burns about 20 kcal/km. Gathering some more numbers I found somewhere that the average consumption per person per day is around 3500 kcal and the CO2 emissions from food about 1100 kg/year, so that would mean 0.86 g CO2/kcal, or 17g/km. Even if you double that to have some safety margin, that's still a lot better than combustion cars with over 100g/km.
So then no need to go vegan or vegetarian right?
@@JuanRanklin Going vegan is a cancer, it literally harms men, soy and other such products are suspected or already confirmed to harm men, since they at the very least reduce the testoterone that men produce. But that's info that's not talked about, how convinient, who would've thought that on a society where men are being openly being discriminated against, such things would've happen.
Also "Average CO2 consumption from food" will also include things like meat, which is notoriously bad for the environment. I am sure you can drastically reduce reduce the CO2 emissions from food by choosing wisely what food to buy.
Sure, a vegan cyclist may have less CO2 emission than a normal cyclist. I went with averages because I'd assume people would just scale up their normal consumption instead of eating specifically to offset the calories used to cycle. You could also say that cyclists should eat a teaspoon of sugar per km, which would be a lot better in terms of CO2. But I don't think that would be a realistic assumption.
Add in the fuel it takes to transport that extra food needed to fuel the cyclists and the emissions from cows and pigs needed extra to feed the cyclists and then add on the extra emissions from cars having to travel at slower speeds for a longer time way below the speed limit and you would probably find it actually contributes to global warming just as much. So the only way to make it have less impact is to ruduce emissions from cars in the first place using electric cars. Problem with that is that will just increase energy usage for electricity dramatically and untill we Can make sure that all eclectic consumption comes from renewable sources then its still contributing to global warming. Another thing is then you jave to take into account the contribution to global warming when making these electric cars the battery and how long they last. The only way to make the efficient when it comes to global warming is to make them as long lasting as possible so new cars wont have to ba made over and over again in such large number but they wont they will make the batterys last a minimum of say 5 years maybe 10 and then they will need to be replaced as this is the most beneficial when it comes economically due to other things not needing to be replaced in a typical engine. No car company is thinking about the environment when making electric cars thay are thinking profit. And theres will stop if they are not using electric cars when new legislation comes stating that all new cars have to be electric. So why would they want there cars to be problem free for such a large amount of time. No one would need to buy a new car. So the only way around this is to make them to brake withing a certain time which is most likely foing to be either the moter or the batterys.

If they didn't want me, they shouldn't have colonised India in the first place and just left well enough alone. Maybe then some of us wouldn't have come over. Or maybe you should blame the King for asking citizens of the commonwealth to come help rebuild Britain after the war because of all the men they lost. Just saying.

I agree why remove a tree line when you can replace a traffic line with a bike path.
But don't you agree that so many of his arguments are just plain flatly wrong. It's like sophism produced in chain here.
He seriously thinks that not producing a 1.5 ton car and all the petrol consumption and delivery that come with it less environmentally friendly than a 500 calories per day superior need that can be FULLFILED OTHERWISE than by importing avocados, etc, by plane, OBVIOUSLY. That's a sophism by intentionally excluding other self evident low carbon cost alternatives (boat is extremely efficient for exemple). What a shame.

"You need more food to keep up cycling"
...so... is your argument that exercise is bad for the environment?
his argument is tearing down trees to make a cycle lane they won't need because private cars are going to be banned in london by the same group deciding to tear down trees is bad for the environment.
Strictly speaking, you do exhale CO2, the best you can do for the environment is to breathe less, and therefore evade activities, which make you breathe more, like exercise... Now, the effect of something like this is minuscule, when compared other sources of CO2, but it is a contributing factor.
No, the real problem is this. We only keep about 3% more energy now due to all the greenhouse gasses, than before industrial revolution. It would literally be easier and cheaper to increase cloud cover somewhere over the ocean, so that we would cover 3% more of Earth's surface and stabilize the climate. Remember, it's not the CO2, that is the problem here, the problem is, we don't know how to extract that extra energy from our atmosphere and either utilize it, store it or radiate it back in to space. And that is what's actually causing global warming.
The guy doesn't have two brain cells to rub together. This is not how food consumption and exercise work. Your digestive system does not work like a fuel tank. It is entirely possible to add exercise to your daily routine without eating more. also, he's using arguments against cycling that are way more relevant to his precious cars.
What's crazy is that HE IS OVERWEIGHT and complaining about more food consumption among cyclists! He needs to stop eating so much before he can tell others to do so.
@@comet.x Nobody is ever banning private cars and you know it, so it's just a hypocritical strawman argument. I laugh at him pretending to care about those trees as his ideal world of pollution kills millions of them.

This is more about how inept the council of London is than it is to do with the usefulness of bikes.
Regardless, cyclists are a scourge on humanity and suffer from low testosterone one.
Exactly what i was thinking
Not necessary. I am assuming you are referring to the "cutting trees to put cycling lines" bit (not to the ambulance being stuck in traffic). According to my rough calculations (rough because I took carbon consumption of an average tree from Google), it would take 60 trees a year to consume the same amount of carbon I would produce by going to work in my car (not a Humvee mind you) for a week. If cutting 60 trees would make at least one person go to work by bicycle it might be worth the trade. Of course, cutting trees is not an optimal solution, but not necessary a bad one.
@@aleksandrastvardauskas7288 Yeah, you can plant trees elsewhere but the lanes HAVE to be there.
He directly says the last 7 words of the title.
0:55 Saying that the ambulance was stuck in traffic due to a bike lane is missing the mark by a mile. Bike lanes should be separated from car lanes by retractable street bollards. Google them, they can be driven over. If the bike lane were done properly, the ambulance would've driven through the bike lane, passing any traffic. Besides, I never saw an ambulance stuck in bicycle traffic...

exactly. too much traffic is bad, but cutting trees is worse.
@@ElvenMans Short term, maybe, depends how many people use it. Long term, no, if people cycle instead of using a car, less oil has to be used, so less "co2" is pumped out of the ground. Those trees will die and will probably end up as fuel for a power plant, maybe they serve a few years as furniture, but in the end it is very likely the co2 ends up back in the atmosphere. The co2 that stayed in the ground cause less cars were required stays there, so yes it might actually be better to take them down if the only thing you care about is co2 emmisions. That they have more value than that is clear, kinda nice to have a green city, but in terms of CO2, your argument is a bit problematic.
super tomorrow honestly idk how it is in Europe, but here in the US, bicyclists are legally pedestrians (pedestrians can’t be in the street) but they’re also “licenseless drivers” meaning they have rights to the road. So basically these absolute retards use this legal ambiguity to give themselves the full road to themselves. Where I live, bicyclists purposefully ride in the street to slow down traffic. And it’s intentional. They want people to get mad and yell at them. Then they file complaints with the police for HaRRAsSmEnT. Of course, you can’t report the bicyclists for being retards who ride in the middle of traffic, because they don’t have license plates.

My bike has always been my main commuter vehicle. I also own a 1981 Toyota Cressida, simply because I love japanese classics, and enjoy driving.. I don't actually need it to get around. Biking keeps me in shape and adds years to my life, everyone should do it more.
He sounds like his only solution for happiness is to get out of London....
Happiness has nothing to do with the external.
It is.
big city problem
He bought a farm just for that reason
For a man like Jeremy or any other kind of celebrity for work reasons he has to but he owns a farm house in the country just for that reason
I could listen to Jeremy rant about anything, cause most of the time he is right. And even he isn't right about something, he makes a good argument about it. I could listen to him for hours and not get bored.
so true
You really think he made a good argument in this video, talking about the calories that are wasted by humans cycling?
Are you aware that people go to gyms for the sole purpose of burning calories and stay in fit?
Should we close gyms because they threaten the environment and move on motorized wheelchairs to save calories?
Bikes are one of the most efficient machines we have and they help us stay in fit.
The only reasonable argument he made is about the trees and the fact that the said road will be closed sometime in the future.
Cycling is not bad for the environment.
Poor choices of government may be bad for the environment, but cycling is not.
Regarding what he said about public transport really reflects how spoiled and detached from normal people he is.
Just wash your hands and if you get sick you will be more robust for the next time.
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Be honest, you just want to tongue his arsehole
Nii on.
@@matteoebayu89 I usually agree with Jeremy on most things, but I don't on this, I agree with you
So nice to hear Jeremy swearing without a bbc/amazon bleeping machine. That AA chap enjoyed his moment at the beginning too..
The evolution of every city is to have a town piano in the center and to be pedestrian only in the middle.
If only Clarkson is prime minister...
Engines will be required by law to have at least 8 cylinders
5 liters is the smallest engine size, 400 horsepower is the minimum.
bicycles are only for children and its illegal to ride it on the road.
cars must be wider than 2 meters and longer than 5 meters.
Pilots go to prison if the plane’s AC temperature exceeds 24c.
electric cars are banned for at least 25 years.
Utopia
mishal alsubeai but he loves hot hatches
Not to mention he would get rid of all the speed cameras and raise the speed limits. Sounds like a paradise
YESYESYES
Clarkson for Prime Minister!
Clarkson's way of saying "f*** off" is very....classy🤣
It's the only way to talk to those people, it's the only words they understand.
As if Jeremy is famous because he is classy 🤣🤣🤣
He didn't say "f*** off". He said "fuck off"
I do agree
👍😂🤣😅. Major of London is
💩 and he isn't alone. All these, who's licking bums of greedy elites puppets, are.
@@garrybaldy327 that's cuz UA-cam hates unfiltered words...idk why
What grinds my gears featuring Jeremy Clarkson
It’s clever because cars have gears and Jeremy reviews cars
Rouge Rogan so do bikes
I think he’s referring to family guy
The simple answer is to make 20 mph the max for all towns and cities, I can easily keep up with any car at that speed.
"We are living absurd times"
Mr. Clarkson has resumed my feelings perfectly.
@VFT - WHAT?? pulling out trees and making way for a cycle lane isnt going to do much good now is it
@VFT - WHAT?? I think you should rethink you position. As is said in the video, the Mayor of London wants to cut down a row of trees for the bike lane (Ecologically Unfriendly Idea) and what if City Hall decides a car lane must be sacrificed. If so,more traffic congestion and more fuel being burnt leading to more Hydrocarbons in the Atmosphere.
Mayor of London: *has a bad idea
Clarkson: Cycling is bad for the environment
I can not stand him
because it is!
@@sardarkhan565 because he speaks the truth?
His opinion is irrelevant, the way he rants about it entertains me.
Guys he’s mostly kidding
1:59 "..and you can't go on those because you get a diesease."
Seems times haven't changed.
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why we should ENCOURAGE cycling. If more people cycled or took public transport, there'd be less cars on the road, meaning less traffic, meaning ambulances and such could reach faster.
No one can bring me joy like Jeremy Clarkson. He’s my older British spirit animal
The problem isn't cycling lanes. Its London's planning committee XD
bingo.
No it's the lanes
@@jamesbarker5254 no it's the city planing
@@a.b2966 I'm not from London or even Britain but its probably such a mess being an old city
Same problems here in the Netherlands, having to deal with incompetent government.
In many ways, I feel “absurd times” is an understatement.
Exactly. And the more of us "normal" people tell the over-priced lettuce & drizzle eating nanny state lovers to f*** off the better.
Jeremy is a voice for many people..!
“I sunburned the top of my head today, that’s global warming....no wait it’s just August” 😂 I’m crying
What a turn at that point
no wait it's male-pattern baldness

@Dan Smith hopefully not
Come to the Netherlands Jeremy. You'd die from seeing so much bikes 🤣
And guess what theres trees for days there to it connects with it

Relation with the dutch dropped by 5000%
Nobody cycles cause they want to... I do it everyday because its cheap and convenient when hitting a bar
The difference with us dutch is, that we built the complete infastructure around cyclists, and that resulted in room for every one, including the trees!
@@hihosilverlining9081 we cut down almost all of the trees in most of the randstad though
@@jesse922 Yeah I have but I mainly remember seeing a lot of fields with very little trees.
@@Seagull780 there is currently 400000 trees in the city centre of Amsterdam alone. Dont talk bullshit
First issue: Without cycling infrastructure, nobody will take the bike even on sunny days. Taking offence nobody is cycling in mixed traffic is like taking offence for people not wanting to cycle to their deaths(especially since you almost have to cycle as fast as motorized traffic in order not to get run over, which indeed will cause you to sweat).
Second issue: yes you have to eat the calories you spend while cycling, but this is from food grown in the past 2-3 years or so, which consequently has absorbed the same amount of carbon from the atmosphere in past 2-3 years, as you exhaust while cycling. This opposed to petrol which is carbon absorbed form the atmosphere million of years ago.
Third: Cycle lanes actually decrease car traffic, and thus less ambulances stuck in traffic. If you want an example of decent non-car-centric cities, just look to the Netherlands.
I can tell you they have more trees than London on average.
Yes, some trees might have to be sacrificed, the alternative is either to turn (all) car lanes in to bike lanes, making car traffic even worse due to less lanes/direction or to demolish all buildings and widen the roads, which would arguably cost a lot more than 42 million. Cutting down the trees is indeed removing a carbon sink, but I'm pretty confident the amount of traffic jams in London generate more carbon than all trees in the Greater London area would ever absorb, so betting on those few trees to absorb a significant amount of carbon for them to remain is at the very best silly.
Spot on.
I love Jeremy's new catch phrase, tell us again! What should they do...?
Alexandra Francis they should FACK OFF!!!
Alexandra Francis I can’t tell you.
Lmao if u say fuck off backwards u say it in an English accent
@@covefarmdude no you most definitely do not 😂 And that's coming from a Brit 😂

Thomas Sowell said it best: "It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong."
Also: “Much of the social history of the Western world over the past three decades has involved replacing what worked with what sounded good."
Finally: “The first lesson of economics is scarcity: There is never enough of anything to satisfy all those who want it. The first lesson of politics is to disregard the first lesson of economics.”
Yes, all Sowell.
With do respect to Larry Elder, Thomas Sowell is the sage of our time.
The very fact that I see the names of Thomas Sowell and Larry Elder in the comment section of a Jeremy Clarkson clip on youtube is priceless to me ! Made my morning : )
Dr Sowell; sagacious and lethal, but ever so humble.
Thomas Sowell said it best: "It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong."
I love hopw this literally applies to all teh mortorists who have run over cyclists and got away with nowt beign done about it. Entiled motorists relaly should pay road tax on top of the tax they pay for teh luxary of drivign a motorised vehicle. They should also be tested yearly. Then maybe they will be paying a decent price...
A conversation between Jeremy Clarkson and Gordon Ramsey would be really interesting, an endless array of f**k offs :)
There is a vid on UA-cam where Gordon cooks Lobster for Jeremy. So funny 😂
i'd pay to see that if it have not happened yet
@@gubbikiller Yes there is on youtube
Jeremy Clarkson gives an argument against cycle lanes, but I kept waiting to hear why bicycles harm the environment.
If anything, following his argument we should replace car lanes with bicycle lanes.
I think it's important to he able to have alternate modes of transportation so you can actually get to places without a car. It's like you're on house arrest in some places if you don't have a car. Even if the place you want to get to is close, it is often a dangerous walk because of busy roads with no side walks or bike lanes.
Metrostation
cars are cooler and faster then a bike for soyjacks
very modern european of you. "the world is a dangerous place so I need the government to supply accommodation".
Imagine taking your pregnant wife to the hospital on a bus, or taking your kids to disneyland using train. Oh I forgot, many of you are nihilistic liberals.
@@nefry1014 you should be supporting bikes as it makes driving even better as the roads will be higher quality and they'll be less cars on it.
