Brexit could help reduce global warming

[Hobosapien]

UK could stop all CO2 production and it would still not make a significant difference until China and USA make significant differences to their output.

List of countries by carbon dioxide emissions - Wikipedia

World 36,061,710
China 10,641,789
United States 5,172,336
UK 398,524

So if you really want to make a difference, ignore the UK 'green tax paying your fair share for a better future' bollox and STOP BUYING CHINESE TAT!

I don’t recall that bit of advice. English sparkling wine is on the up, though.

For “UK”, perhaps read “Kent and Sussex”. Doubtful that anywhere north of Watford will be Med-like, and over in Cornwall they only get the monsoon season and not the good bits of the Med climate.

I suppose its better that that foreign muck!

Veni, vidi, viticulture - remains of Roman vineyards found in UK | The Independent

The findings so far indicate that the imperial Italians of the early first millennium AD did not introduce their British subjects only to legionaries, villas and togas, but to the delights of cheap plonk as well.
To date the research has identified the remains of seven Romano-British vineyards - four in Northamptonshire, one in Cambridgeshire, one in Lincolnshire and one in Buckinghamshire.

The people without jobs may not see it that way.

It's the people whose lives will be blighted the most by Brexit who chant "It's a price worth paying".

So... If they think the EU is making their lives bad, they also accept that life will be even more of a struggle outside the EU, but as long as we're outside the EU, that sovereignty we're getting back will help them sleep at night and it'll pay the mortgage.

The Big Brexit Paradox. That the UK will thrive outside the EU, but at the same time their lives being worse as a result is a price worth paying.

The reality is that when their lives are worse, they'll forget that its a price worth paying and instead blame 'Remainers' for failing to deliver them that land of milk and honey.

In the year 2000 we were told that the UK would have a Mediterranean climate by 2010. I am still waiting!

Who told you that?

It'll be like 2008 when the traffic jams at rush hour got notably quieter, as fewer people had jobs to commute to.

But that'll be the price worth paying.

Economic stagnation will play a part.
