my thoughts:

Climate change is real. There is nothing to argue about.
BUT, is it because of human activity or it have it's natural causes - this is a big question.

...

Exactly.

Well it was warmer in Roman times than now, I'm pretty sure their bullock carts weren't V8 powered & it was colder in Victorian times (a mini ice age technically). So we know climate change is natural.

I particularly like how they predict changes around 1% from models with 3-4% error margins & so on.

Scientists aren't going to earn much money or the government steal more tax if they all fess up to knowing that the earth goes through natural cycles of hot/cold, the UK was once a tropical hot spot with a huge rain forest (it's now called coal) and it also had an ice age with massive glaciers which left us huge valleys and the Scottish highlands.  I accept that man is not helping and is possibly speeding things up but to make us pay for the earth going through it's natural cycle is a bit steep.  Even if we stop everything and even stop farting the earth will still warm up.

30 % of the housing stock in Cardiff is terraced. When I bought my first house ( terraced) it was probably one car for every two houses. 30 years on its quite often 2 cars + per house - ok . Trying to park is now 3 times around the the block and end up 100 yards away from where you live.So, how the hell do you charge your electric car? so the answer is we dig up every street, because the cables aren't of sufficient capacity, and you will need charging points outside every house otherwise its cables across the pavements. Those twats in government haven't thought of the practicalities n :bugga: but loads of jobs  :)

Well said Notty, you took the words rightout of my mouth. And imagine all those cables hanging out of the windows of those tower blocks..... :rofl2:

Yeah but the next stage will be to restrict our ability to travel, sheep who've never been far & don't know about the world are easier to govern.

On the council estates in Cardiff they run cables from the lamposts to steal the electricity so guess they will be able to help build the infrastructure !! :)

The lamp post outside my gaff here has a 16amp socket on it for xmas lights, thankfully they never put xmas lights up though.

I do wonder how well it'd power a workshop at times.

Caravans run on 16 amps (max)   should be able to power your shed no worries.  Just don't expect it to run a 3 phase mill or lathe
