It was just a debate and a stance, he me be or not be an arse or a good old chap.

I bet Stephen Fry would happily take you tooI was referring to went to university but didn't complete his degree, pompous maybe but why masquerade as an intellectual when you're simply acting the part.
I'll take Stephen Fry over this berk any day of the week.
Ad hominem attack in that the guy patently isn't carbon neutral but chooses to model himself as the amusing voice of reason?
He has an agenda which depending on which particular nugget you unearth can be anywhere from centre right to triggering.
I can't go too far in pointing the finger at this particular individual without wandering into politics and the thread then being locked which is a shame as that action and highlighting it is pretty well how this influencer earns his crust.

Everyone has an agenda - even the people who hold views that we agree with - it's merely a question of whether someone is open and honest about their agenda or whether they try to hide it from public view.
What did he say that was factually incorrect? I am genuinely willing to be enlightened.
What he said was true and applies in most places, politicians play with that and point out, distort things to appease or aggrieve in order to gain favour for potential support.
Again I'm sure dissecting the video would only serve to show both of our sensibilities and prejudices which in all fairness is pretty well how all online clickbait works including this guy who isn't actually a politician or highly educated genius but an influencer plain and simple.
At the risk of appearing racist I will say that probably my biggest problem with this guy is that he's Russian.
Edit... and I wondered how his Muscovite parents who were 20 and 18yrs when he was born managed to send him as a full boarder to Clifton College from age 11 which then leads down the Reddit rabbit hole and a father who was FSB and defrauded the government of millions of Rubles in the 90s... quite likely all bollards but equally, quite likely and not just tin foil hat stuff.

Nothing at all against Russians do not have any preconceived ideas about them, the few I have come across seamed exceptionally well educated and very astute. My multi linguistic friend had stayed over their also for language and interest and I had once another friend who had studied Russian and she spent some time there also, they both seem to have enjoyed being there. Has anyone read the Book Ruptured Russian by Itoreabollockoff
All, none or (likely) some of which will be true, but what about the substance of his argument?
Unlike the climate activists who've been declaring crises, emergencies and doomsday scenarios for the past 40/50 years.
That’s all they can manage.
People fall for it though so the editors aren’t daft.
Giving the people what they want, chewing gum for the eyes and ears.
Meaning what, exactly?I thought you were a moderator?
Hardly any chance of refutation of the substantive points raised unless tongue in cheek because they where true.
EV’s / hybrids are the way forward away from domestic combustion engines.
Hydrogen is the way forward with heavy industry and plant.
Nuclear is the be all and end all, or it will be once rolls Royce have nailed down the micro nuke, which is currently in use in a few outer reaches of the electrical grid.
We will all have a tic-tak sized pellet that will fit inside a machine the size of a washing machine to provide your home with heat and electricity, when that’s been depleted enough, you’ll then get a new pellet, the old pellet will then go into your car… or so they say
