The madness is off the scale... Although I am certain that CO2 cannot be the cause of alarming temperature to rise the fact that we stop using cheap energy sources and ignore those that don't only means that our goods are more expenses than say China etc so we end up buying more from them which increases the use of more and more fossil fuel energy.... The transport of all these goods from half way around the world is madness if you are wanting to reduce pollution! Make the stuff local and the rest will fall into place.
Road tax was abolished in the 1930's to stop entitled drivers to make a claim to 'own' the road. Your thinking about VED aka vehicle excise duty which is based on vehicles producing emissions. Bicycles don't produce emissions so it's impossible for cyclists to pay VED. Another point is that motorists get the privilege to drive after they pass a test. This privilege is taken away if they break the law enough. Pedestrians, bicycles and horses/ carriages have been using the roads long before cars so they do get the right to use roads! Motorists are freeloaders in that non motorists who pay income tax pay for the upkeep of our roads, i could go on......!!!
Apart from certain cities cyclists do not think they own the road. Also, unless you live in said cities, cyclists by and large happen to be car owners too so already contribute to the upkeep of the road network via RFL and diesel and petrol duties. Bikes also cause no damage to road surfaces, unlike goods vehicles and icy weather, so to be totally fair, any licence would be so low as to be not worth the effort of collecting. Regarding your claim about the deleterious effects of cycling, where is your evidence? From what I can see, when the local CTC go out they are usually above pension age and rather spritely! Unlike your average middle aged or elderly person who is typically well overweight, leads a sedentary lifestyle, often has type II diabetes and also suffers from back and joint pain.

Steel production is another industry that should be state owned, if a nation can't produce it's own steel it can't protect itself if the need arises by manufacturing weapons or building warships
A colleague (in higher educational) once said, "Why do we need military, why can't we all just hug?"... That's the level of thinking that's out there...
Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds. Written by Charles McKay in the 19th century, needs to have a sequel. Climate Change and BLM would be the last chapters.
It's been quite some time since your average weather event hasn't been caused by climate change. Anything slightly unusual (i.e. hasn't happened within the previous 6 months or so) is unprecedented. Here in Akl, NZ, we were told to prepare for yet another dry winter. In reality-land the resevoirs filled to overflowing. The hysteria has gone well beyond a joke.
Plenty to suggest that you are more reckless when wearing helmets (not just on bikes, but on skis, skateboards rugby pitches etc) and more likely to put yourself in harms way.
I’ve never understood why anyone with no experience or knowledge of a subject can preach about it. Greta’s preaching of global disaster will at least stop in 3 years time when we’re all still here and nothing has changed. Like with the ozone layer.
Socialists fail to see the power of Property rights,...they prefer to wear the blindfold of the State 'Utopia' and cry out for Govt intervention, regulation and nationalisation,...as if Govts have ever made anything better anywhere in the world.
Here we have bike lanes with special traffic lights and signage incoherently integrated into traffic, and it is more dangerous for cyclists now. The intersections are chock-full of directions for autos, pedestrians and cyclists. Its ridiculous.
I got attacked on Twitter for saying the I was not interested in the hyperbole on climate change and wanted to look at the research that had been carried out on the attribution of man's impact as opposed to normal climate cycles. Same happened with Covid.
The fanaticism has reached levels of hysteria now. Let's not forget that most have little to no capacity for skepticism and critical thought. They are highly dependent on being conveniently spoon fed information which they take as gospel without question. They try and understand the climate through human comprehension. This is folly. 150 years of data (with varying reliability) is a statistical insignificance to 6 billion years. They fail to appreciate that climate can have the capacity for mild variations across what we would perceive through human experience as a long period of time. But what the planet would experience as a blip.
My question is.... if the goal is zero fossil fuel, why the fossil fuel producers (Saudi Arabia, Norway, Iran, Irak, Mexico...) are not fussing about it?

No need to worry about forests now. COP 26 has agreed that no forests to be cut down from 2030. There may be a huge increase in destruction until 31st December 2029 releasing the stored carbon sink held by that forest and there will be less forest to soak up the CO2 until then. The promise to protect world forest in 2014 at the New York COP, appears to have failed. Still any new forest planted will start to sequester the CO2 and produce oxygen. After all, to sequester enough CO2 to replace the carbon in a destroyed forest will only take aboiut 300 years and will not be 100% efficient until the forest has finished the replacement of the original trees. Depending on the tree species, very little CO2 is absorbed until the tree reaches its maximum girth so very little is added to the carbon sink in the new forested area!
Yes the old Trotskism coming out of him, rather than trusting in the innovating market. What is this mythical public utility that fixes things? Sewage streamed into our waterways when the monolithic Water Board was run by civil servants. The fifty-year olds clattered along when there weren’t closures or “industrial action”. An idyll it was not.
Mike, I suggest you interview a climate specialist like Dr Patrick Moore, Prof William Happer, Freeman Dyson, Steve Koonin, etc, to get the other side of the debate from a scientific point of view rather than Peter Hitchens, where it is just his personal point of view.
Safe to ride a bicycle around Amsterdam? Of course, so other uses such as pedestrians who include children go in peril for their lives and limbs. Such people are always highly selective, but aren't we all? The difference is these people do not even realise it!
Seems Peter seeks proof which cannot be provided, a similar argument his brother Christopher had with Peter's faith. So it weakens the argument when we know you are capable of trusting the unbelievable
