https://realandhappening.wordpress.com/2016/06/27/leaving-the-eu-environmental/ Could this bring about the renewal of policy in the UK and internationally or just destabilize climate change targets? With the UK leaving the EU it is possible that there will be implications worldwide in terms of climate change targets and the breaking up of directives and partnerships. |

This is micro-management at it's worst. It is attempting to force people into an arbitrary model of what should be, rather than simply accepting what is and suggesting more efficient and cleaner ways to do things. Our environment in most parts of the world has improved quite dramatically. This is been because of the success of private investments, such as the invention of monitoring devices in things like smokestacks and introducing feedback mechanisms that makes use of these devices. No government invented these devices. Similarly, the introduction of technology such as a simple tube and valve feeding exhaust gases back up into the induction system of a gasoline engine did a lot to reduce pollution by reducing the peak burn temperature inside the cylinder while keeping the average temperature high. Again, a technology created by private investments. With the UK leaving the EU, it will mean the EU can no longer control the UK. It will also mean the UK can no longer control the EU. The overall effect will probably be next to nil. Targets do not improve the environment. Technology does that. People like me do that.

Though wouldn't you agree it is the co-operation between governments that allow these new technologies and measures to be rolled out? |

I'm saying companies DEVELOP the technology, and it is the governments that have the power to create legislation etc. "Global Warming: The preferred religion of the scientifically illiterate." Lol. |

Like I said, a lot of these guys in government have trouble finding Hawaii on a map. Far from being are best and brightest, it seems to be where we get to vote who to send to the insane asylum. Governments create nothing. They are buyers of technology, but they do not create any. The Parrot Killer Debunked in my sig. - tmiddles Google keeps track of paranoid talk and i'm not on their list.
