What will cars be like in 20 years time?

Yes I ought to believe some moronic statement made by some random IT geek on the web than these the vast majority of the world's scientists.

The issue I have with Global Warming is that all the funding and news paper articles are hiding some far worse enviromental issues which don't really get any attention unless they can somehow be linked to global warming.

There is still massive deforestation going on, reducing bio-diversity and causing huge soil loss, soil which when lost means it will be very difficult to regrow the forest or anything for that matter. Haiti is a prime example of this, as a country they are now ****ed

Fishing is for all intents and purposes unregulated and over industrialised, huge damage is being done to ocean eco systems and some species are being driven to extention (either directly or indirectly)

Intensive farming (linked to deforestation) upsets the natural bio-diversity, it is also a contributor to the ocean dead-zones. In the gulf of mexico an area the size of wales (the usual unit of ecological damage) is de-oxygenated each year because of fertilizer runoff from the mississipi resulting in almost all fish in the area dying. This happens in many places around the world with both natural and un-natural causes.

There are still massive amounts of pollutants being released into the land/sea and air

And the elephant in the room: The human population. The ONLY way we're ever going to make a serious enviromental impact is through depopulation on a massive scale.

So humans are fooking up the earth? Course they are.
But there are still morons who'd rather carry on as they are and justify that POV by saying its all a hoax.
But then most people are very much to the left of the normal curve.

Why are humble aygo owners allowed to pontificate on the future of cars?
