Posted on 14/11/2019 19:49 by redfaceHi S B,
The one thing that puzzles me, with regard to climate warming, is that Ice ages come and go - as they have done - but none of the previous ones have been caused by us lot (humans.)
Now, in between ice ages you have 'warming', so what is different to that natural phenomena this time round?
To me it seems that it is just that we (the human race) are caught up in it, rather than causing it.

Its not the 'natural' rhythms in question, its the very sudden and irrefutable 'additional contributions' to climate change and planet poisoning that are of great concern. These are accelerating the fluctuations and killing eco systems and the fora and fauna within. I'm afraid those additional pressures on climate change and plastic pollution we now witness is pretty much down to us lot! Its now happening in the blink of an eye, a human eye! In 'earth terms' we really haven't been around that long but we are having a massive impact.

Oh, but back on topic, what a lovely looking van. It would make a brilliant camper van.
I'm also sure that the whole touring industry has to change and I think we are witnessing this club moving with a greener vision albeit slowly. Thing is change is not always appreciated but alway happens in my opinion.

Hard to believe but back in 1967 it was reported that Britain had more electric/battery vehicles on the roads than the rest of the world put together. Most of these would have been milk floats which had been in profitable and practical service for several decades. Like many things, the wheel goes full circle and is later 'reinvented' as something quite new.

It is interesting that the electric motor predates the internal combustion engine (ICE). It is almost maintenance free, quiet, extremely efficient and delivers tremendous torque. The snag is the battery to power it which is why billions of dollars have been spent on battery technology.

Posted on 14/11/2019 21:44 by hitchglitchAs the owner of an EV as our main vehicle I am very much in favour of them but I have to say that we are some way off of having a battery operated motorhome. It will need at least a doubling of current battery energy densities.
