Fozzie Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 The world now uses less and less fuel every year ... Reference pwease : ) http://www.indexmundi.com/energy.aspx?c ... onsumptionThis shows the UK motor fuel going down per yearhttp://www.indexmundi.com/energy.aspx?r ... onsumptionThis shows the European UK motor fuel going down per year for even longerI havent got up to date stats for North America that cover the major crash in their economy, which made petrol prices rocket over their and we had a spell of cheap fuel while they were buggered. But if I see them and I know they had a record low that hasn't recovered seeing as poverty over there has worsened then I will add them Edit - It was also heard on BBC2 today, the UK looks set for its steepest drop yet due to the heightening prices all round for motoring.

Oh.... petrol (should have been obvious really ) : )Interesting stats thoug, thanks. Big spike in 2000 when everyone was feeling good.I'm wondering what it's like in places like south asia where it's not taxed (and even subsidised sometimes). Those guys are moped crazy The new push for fuel, after Fukishima, IMO is coal. Nice and dirty. I don't have a particularly strong opinion on anthropogenic global warming though because I don't know enough of the science.Small point though... wasn't the ozone hole damaged by things like CFCs, rather than carbon dioxide? If it's on its way to being repaired (it needs to! that hole right over southern australia burned the crap out of me even in coolish overcast weather) then that might be a good advert for the power of changing our habbits So that this isn't completely off topic, i was thinking about emissions when i was riding very fast the other day. I considered that cow's arses are supposed to be the biggest contributer to warming, so I'll ride fast and eat a salad for dinner.
