I already said decades ago "winter is coming".. They had more than enough time to prepare.. You don't start preparing food and shelter for winter when you see snow, but you have to do it in summer.. Democratic politicians think only about how to win the next elections. In U.S. even more than in EU - 2, 4 and 6 years terms (replaced every 2 years 1/3). When one complain ends, new one is already in progress.. They think of nothing else but "how to stay on the chair".. The result is senseless, stupid, legislation like e.g. "web cookies" & "unsubscribe mail address" (which resulted in ultra happy hackers and defrauders), "fossil tax" (which resulted in ultra happy financial sector and investors who can make yet another frauds on yet another financial instrument).. If ordinary people were well-educated scientists, politicians would have to listen to them to get elected, and "global warming" would not exist in a few months.. the all resources used to build crap like tanks, warships, warplanes and the all other weapons would be used to build solar panels and other renewable resource.. Countries that rely on the production and export of fossil fuels are in desperate straits, resulting in what you see this year.. In the local stock market, investors have an adage "even the dead jump up" (which is used when a company's share price goes bankrupt)

Those that are capable can teach their teachers, those that aren't have no choice but to trust their teachers. If it was you that changed your life, why do you need God?

How can you be sure that you haven't been flattered into that box?

Said like a person who will be warm this winter. A lot of Europe will not. I perfectly understand the reasons for looking at all types of energy sources to get through difficult times, but they need to be brought quickly online, and Methane extraction from the North Sea coal beds seems too 'long term' to be of any use this winter , or the next decade's winters. Those kinds of investments are better made into non-fossil energy sources and renewables

Fixed.

I asked you a simple question to which you have not made any reply. All you have done is repeat your early claim more strongly without any support whatsoever. So I will make it eay for you. The waste material from coal burning is called PFA (pulverised fuel ash) or fly ash. Far from being worthless it is a useful industrial material in its own right as it is pozzolanic. To make it easy here is a breakdown of the minerals in PFA https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/jctb.2720240405 The reaction of calcium oxide and carbon dioxide. This will lock up some carbon dioxide, but will not make any progress towards turning the waste into arable soil.

I found this a helpful breakdown of the types of propaganda that Russia is using to gaslight its citizens.
