    Well firstly it's 'would have', not " would of", and secondly, again, that link was to a copy of the "Tropical Timber Market Report" and you very clearly have not read it yourself much less comprehended what it's about, the relevance, or actually means. It's just some shit you've Googled and cut 'n pasted.

    Because you are a comically, absurdly, stupid man.

    Not all of them. And this from today:



    The German government approved a 54 billion euro ($60 billion) package of initiatives aimed at tackling climate change on the same day 100,000 protesters filled the streets of Berlin for the Global Climate Strike.

    <snip>

    A poll released Friday by ARD television showed that the majority of Germans believe climate policy reform should be the country’s main priority, with 63 percent of voters putting climate protection over economic growth, AP noted.

    Well that was a bit of a co-incidence wasn't it.

    Well considering there going to miss there emissions target by 2020, and haven't really been spending much since 2005.

    I would of thought they'd have to do something sooner or later.

    Though I'm sure the energy companies will benefit from rising populations, world economic growth and such facts.

    Oh and control the price of energy to benefit themselves.

    Though instead of jumping up and done on internet forums,get the fuck out there and do something about it.

    here you are start with these fuckers who are killing the planet.

    The relevant bit was that more and more people are starting to understand the science.

    Except gibbering fuckwits like yourself, obviously.

    It's increasingly obvious that there's an IQ difference between denialists and those that accept the science.

    The moment you've got the likes of Chicoyaso and Repeater fighting your corner you're fucked.

    Chico in particular has reached peak stupid. He's at a point where he actually seems to think that it's a benefit and strength to be a fucking moronic munter.

    It's good that you keep posting links to emerging technologies that might wean us off fossil fuels, even if you'll be dead before they reach fruition, but you should be aware that there are already plenty of viable alternatives.

    I say you should be. But you're a bit thick.

    Saving the environment is no longer the only compelling argument for switching to renewable energy, said Michael Milken, chairman of think tank Milken Institute, who pointed out that such energy sources are now cheaper than many fossil fuels.

    Today, “for two-thirds of the world, renewables are cheaper than a significant amount of carbon-based energy, so it isn’t just an argument of environment, it’s now just pure economics,” Milken told CNBC at the Milken Institute Asia Summit in Singapore.

    Investments in clean energy technology are increasing, which means that such new sources of fuel are becoming more cost efficient, he said.

    “The state that has the lowest cost energy, Texas, is the state in the United States that has the largest amount of wind power,” said Milken.


    Renewable energy sources from hydropower and solar energy to wind are now taking off in a big way, defying critics who just a decade ago were skeptical about those new energy sources, he pointed out.


    “If you go to the
    United States a decade ago, you had the leaders testify that there would be no substitute for coal, that renewables would make up a very small part of the United States’ (energy mix),” Milken said.

    The consumption of biofuels and other non-hydroelectric renewable energy sources in the U.S. has more than doubled between 2000 and 2018, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Last year, renewable energy took up 11% of energy consumption in America, with wind and biofuels among the biggest sources of such energy, according to the agency.

    Investors are increasingly focused on ESG — or environmental, social and governance — themes to help them decide where to put their money, said John Studzinski, vice chairman at bond giant Pimco.

    In fact, big investors such as pension funds and sovereign wealth funds are indicating they want climate-focused strategies with high ESG scores, he said at the summit. In fact, they want to do so “not just in terms of investing properly for their pension fund holders or the country but also because they want the return.”


    “They all know now there was this notion five years ago, that if I had an ESG portfolio, it probably meant that it was not going to be a competitive portfolio in terms of returns. That’s now an old idea,” said Studzinski.

    Instead, the converse can be true.

    “Companies that have high ESG scores are much better managed, much more rigorous, much more competitive and they are probably going to outperform those that have poorer ESG scores,” said Studzinski.


    Earlier this year,
    energy giant BP forecast that the world’s energy demand will grow by a third through 2040, driven by rising consumption in China, India and other parts of Asia.


    About 75% of that increase will come from the need to power industry and buildings, it said. At the same time, energy demand will continue to grow in the transportation sector, but that growth will slow sharply as vehicles become more efficient and more consumers opt for electric cars.


    By the end of the next two decades, BP says that renewables will provide most of the world’s electric power, with wind, solar and other renewable energy sources gaining ground at a faster pace than any fuel through human history.
