I dont know, if the use of solar in the UK really helps, compared to use them in an latitude area with more sun.
To build a solar panel, to recycle them after 12 years (hopefully, currently they did end in the regular trash bin) - use also a lot of energy.
The whole discussion about Greta and the world who needs less CO2... I just remember about the forest dieback and the acid rain in the 80`s. We children was so anojed about, had bad dreams about the end of the world....
I`m not shure, how the people will discuss the C02 issue in 2050..
We are able to transplant organs, but we still didnt cant say how the weather will be in 15 days or if the next step will be a heat /ice age timeframe.
