It's clear we cannot presently do without oil and gas and I suspect that might always be so. What happens when they become unaffordable due to depletion? Sea level is rising 4mm a year and the average temperature by 0.2C per decade with extreme excursions. CO2 aside coal pollutes the air and ground and has a cleaner baseload alternative in nuclear.

Our dopey politicians throw millions at hydrogen with just about every project so far failing to achieve liftoff. Nukes could make cheaper hydrogen at times when renewables can do some of the heavy lifting. We might then be able to make enough fertiliser to feed the 8+ billion when oil and gas are gone. That's not how our present crop of politicians see it though; it has to be all renewables.

Out of all this repetitive climate change panicked nonsense and its counter argument, which this piece joins the Conga line of toxic ideas on this subject of fantasy, something good may actually come of it; who knows?

Climate change has gained more celebrity than the Copacabana club and hopefully will die the same ignominious death…but not soon enough I fear!
