Stop! Ready. Go?

I saw red trying to go green - a bit dated, but still relevant (like me?).

I was pretty sure that should at least be 'some renewable energy initiatives may not reduce carbon emissions', surely?

But no, you seem to be right. So one of the breeding population of calculators (were it that they were matched by an equal or greater number of useful sites to actually do anything in any sensible or fun way. In fact I think we may have arrived at a point where we need a site to calculate the best calculator site) is not actually helping in what one one think... hope... was the real aim of any such initiative?

Hypocrisy and destroyed trust in government advice... leading to the risk that people won't listen and act. There's a thing.

Here's something worth calculating: the amount spent on various government and quango inspired departments and communications programmes that have achieved diddly squat, even in the cause of the great god 'awareness' (peace be upon its awesome power to confer ticked boxes, targets and hence bonuses) that could have gone to actual, tangible things that might help reduce emissions now.
