Global Warnings

Here are some things I found out last night, watching the BBC News and Newsnight. First the “that’s interesting” knowledge-bite: Modern dishwashers use less water than washing by hand.

Now, the “I thought we had a chance, but now I’m convinced we’re screwed” information:

  • If the UK stopped using cars entirely, we’d cut our carbon emissions by 2.5%.
  • That 2.5% would be entirely offset by the increasing emissions coming from China in just 51 days.
