In my opinion climate change is driven by other factors not just man made pollution, thats a scam to remove peoples liberties as far as Im concerned. I suspect that a awful lot more carbon has been expelled by volcanic activity these past 12 months than by factories, machines and cows!! We will all be made make the sacrifices here in this part off the world, while the Russians, Chinese, Indians etc will keep living life as normal and won't make any major changes or sacrifices. In other words. The burden will be thrown on your backs and pockets... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPN Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 While I appreciate where you guys are coming from, and especially that farmers and rural communities need to be supported properly during the transition, there is no getting away from the science. The methane from one cow over one year does as much damage as burning 4,000 litres of diesel. We have a huge global problem that needs to be addressed, and as we all know, politicians can be the worst people to deliver the best solutions because they try to keep everyone happy instead of fixing the problem as quickly, effectively and cheaply as possible. Meat and dairy farmers, petrol/diesel powered car factory workers, coal miners, oil and gas workers, airplane manufacturers, and everybody else whose income depends on industries that cause excessive warming are going to have to change over the next ten years. And none of those people are going to be happy about it. Just look at Volkswagen, they want to transition to EVs but it costs them 3 times more to build an EV than it costs Tesla. The Chairman of the Board suggested that VW pivot rapidly to compete with Tesla but the Unions kicked up because it would mean huge job losses. He nearly lost his job over it. The good news is that there are solutions, and we can implement them quickly enough to prevent runaway warming, but it does mean huge changes for all of us. Anyone interested in reading up on the subject of solutions should have a look at www.drawdown.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If everyone switched over to these new type food thats being pushed these days there would be a hell of a lot more methane released from humans than a load of burping/f##ting cows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or..... It's big enough for them to offer a 6 for the price of 5 offer to try to boost sales perhaps.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did not say about driving but said go home and rest it for a few days and keep it clean as with the big bit of skin they took of it was more likely to get a infection , got a nurse going to dress it friday morning . I did drive home last night but had hell of a job pushing clutch pedal down . My mate broke his leg last year but because it was his left one they said he could drive a automatic as only needed right leg ,but no he could not drive a manual car for 8-10 weeks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithy Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Just a update on foot/big toe , been back to drs and had it dressed for 2nd time ,nurse was happy that i have kept it clean but it was still bleeding a tiny bit ,foot and other toes are coming out in bruise which she said they call it shock bruising ,i am walking better as long as its flat ground ,still cant push clutch pedal down in van so no driving at the moment 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack390 Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Yeah, always get a bit of bruising a few days later, I had a black pinky toe 3 days after dropping a weight on it in the gym. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes at the moment as cant safely push clutch pedal down ,i can cheat in tractor as i could push it down with other foot to activate the gearbox because its all on a shuttle lever under steering wheel for forward or backwards and a button for gears but if i needed clutch in a emergency i would have a job to push it down at the same time as braking with right leg . Nurse said today if i had a automatic car i would be ok as only need right leg 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirTainly Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Wishing you a speedy recovery! I dropped a can of household polish on my toe, which split the nail underneath so kept pieceing the nailbed and causing it to bleed for months - took over a year for the nail to fully grow out - hopefully you recover quicker than I do! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are saying 6-8 weeks for bone to heal ,not sure how long it will take for skin to grow back ,allow the steel missed my nail they say it will come off due to shock 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
