Where they make the fugly X models.

I particularly like the X3.. It's an extremely guilty pleasure of mine. The Porsche Macan is the winner for me in that category though. Seat Ateca wins for the affordable one although they only did an Auto on the top spec model which comes with orange wheels!

Agree about the Ateca. I've got a Leon ST, which i'm really pleased with - the Ateca is just a bigger body style with the same gubbins in it. DSG is ace

I just think SUV's are too large in any flavour - gimme an estate car anyday.

Ooooh I love an estate car!

Big sucker for the A4 Avant. I also can't make my mind up on BMWs, I just don't like the way they drive and each one I drive is so different to the last despite being the same on paper.

I like the C-class wagon too but the engines are terrible on fuel.

S4 Avant is my absolutely dream car

There's a lot of criticism about open cast mining in Australia. The suggestion is that the exposed earth and coal capture a lot of heat, rather than radiate it back out. The hot earth/coal causes huge updrafts which in turn causes incoming rushing cold air. You can see how a fire would spread quickly under those conditions. It also causes a lot of dust which settles and kills off plant life. Once the plants go there's the problem of soil erosion. Dust also causes massive health problems for pretty much every air breathing animal.

Birmingham now looking to ban cars altogether too. Must confess i was well impressed with the Manchester tram system on Saturday. It is the way forward.

Climate change isn't real. It's made up by people who want to make money.

At least that's the line the industrialists are going with.

Its a proven scientific fact that the Earth's temperature is rising quickly.

Its a proven fact that CO2 in the atmosphere raises the temperature.

Its a proven fact that humans are responsible for the rise in CO2.


Yet we still have the deniers.

The flat earth believers are increasing in number. Welcome to the modern world.

Flat earthers are sending their kids to a very difficult lifetime.

Germany will have enough renewal sources of energy to enable it to switch off all of its coal powered energy stations by 2038.

So far 35% of it's energy comes from renewables.



Well played Germany

[Cav]

Surely the French aren't far behind either? Haven't they got thousands of miles of wind farms?

Well played Germany

As of 2017, 82% of NZ electricity was produced by renewables, mainly hydro & geothermal, but also solar and wind.
