And where is the science that shows that there haven't been rapid changes in the past? Just because there are particular start and end points, doesn't meant the transition was even and didn't mostly happen at the end point.
Doesn't mean nothing should be done, just that the drastic measures being pushed, won't work in any way. If people were to truly want to scale things back, then all sorts of trivial objects need to be banned(eg make-up and jewellery) and banned decades ago.
An example of the hypocrisy was in the TV programme on ITV about eco-homes last night(Mon 1st Nov). A couple decided,
not for eco reasons, to switch the house layout. They moved the bedrooms to the ground floor with the living area upstairs,
just so they had a better view. That used resources and energy with no valid purpose.
