Keep burning wood
I agree but can someone do the calculation as to whether this is better than Oil or Gas for the planet?
Keep burning wood
Not at all selfish.
Bit of a problem with the forecast of sea levels rising.
I think it's about a 10 millmetres per year. I did calculate it out once since the height of the last Ice Age it's been about the same amount for 25,000 years (Estimated values).
Sea levels were 250 metres lower when Ice was 1km thick over both hemispheres.
250 metres rise over 25,000 years is 10mm a year.
NASA currently say the trend is about 3.3mm a year.

I am pretty sure the powers that be are most concerned about the planet, after all people dying of famine helps the situation.
OkWell its an interesting discussion to have. Is it actually selfish? For all you know your carbon footprint could be bigger than mine - does that make you less selfish than me if you reduce yours a little?
If you promise that you will never fly again and you don't use an oil boiler then you can call me selfish
The Farmers weekly is much too tough for that to happenBlowing your nose first, and thus wetting the bog-roll, does bring with it unpleasant possibility of "finger through the paper syndrome".
7 billion people will drink the excessI just wondered what would happen to sea levels that’s all.
I think you can do all the things you mention and still be conscientious about it. It’s not black and white
I sleep very well thank you . On top of my very high hill.Don't worry, there's plenty of time left to give away all your assets and live in a cave.
Good luck.
Oh, you might want to chose a cave well away from the sea so you can have a good nights rest and not be worrying about drowning.
No oil boiler here wood grown on the farm,havnt flown ,for 35 years , and no plans too.Well its an interesting discussion to have. Is it actually selfish? For all you know your carbon footprint could be bigger than mine - does that make you less selfish than me if you reduce yours a little?

Not that you know of anyway !!! .No children! I win, end of.
Actually famine doesn't help at all.
I bring you back to the Matt Ridley/ Bjorn Lomborg school of thought backed with statistics. The less worried you are about famine etc the less kids you have
When was your last new car and tractor?No oil boiler here wood grown on the farm,havnt flown ,for 35 years , and no plans too.
farm is all grass at this moment as well no arable .
youre selfish
Cos that's where most people live?More people dying in cities when it gets hot. That’s an effect.
