Re: Another Rebrand Brecon Beacons No More
At least they aren't being changed to red.

Re: Another Rebrand Brecon Beacons No More
I quite like the new name, once I get used to the spelling

I expect I will still call it the Brecon Beacons, but good point about the peaks already having Welsh names.

Think I’ll just call it the beacons as I always have, and I’ll go and watch Wales play football too…..:-)

A bit like Gabalfa, Llandaff and Llanedeyrn do?
Fan Y Big, named after a Merthyr girl I think?

I suppose when they pick up three speeding tickets per visit, they probably won't come back ever though?

They can name it what they want but what has climate change got to do with it.
Apparently the earth’s atmosphere is 0.04% CO2 up from 0.03% 20 years ago.

On those numbers yes , human activities are responsible for just 32 percent of that amount.

The far right English gammon are going mental on Twitter, Farage being one. Absolutely wonderful to see.

Next time you’re cooking add a third more salt than you normally would and see how insignificant the difference is.

Apparently an eruption from a single volcano emits more CO² into the atmosphere than mankind in a decade. CO² necessary for plant growth as well isn’t it ?
How many Uranium tipped missiles have been fired in the last twenty years. I may be wrong but I’m sure that’s going to impact the environment. I was wondering why Greta Thunberg hasn’t made an appearance in Ukraine yet.

the atmospheric co2 is currently about 420ppm, that's higher than at any time in the last 3 million years (since the Pliocene epoch), previously during an ice age it might go down to less than 200 and in an interglacial period it might increase to 250-300.
man made emissions have had a massive impact on that in the last 200 years

that is simply not true, the us geological survey estimate the totality of all land and submarine volcanoes emit between 0.13-0.44 gigatons of co2 annually, whereas heavy industry alone released 36.3 gigatons

Water is necessary for plant growth too. You can still kill plants with too much water.

How much of that 0.04 % CO2 can be attributed to emissions from private aircraft used by Scientists, Politicians and Celebrities to attend meetings and events associated with Climate Change?
On another platform it was said that a small decrease could be just as catastrophic, that said nobody appears to know what the “critical “ number is.

Lol come on now. It will be a beyond negligible amount considering 75% of that CO2 existed 20 years ago. How many climate change events are there annually? How many private planes go to these events?
In 2021 Heathrow Airport had 195,000 planes arrive or depart. Over 500 flights a day. I'd wager there's more CO2 produced in one day at Heathrow than from a year's worth of private jets attending climate change events.
Heathrow isn't even close to being one of the busiest airports in the world. That award goes to Atlanta with, on average, 2,700 arrivals and departures daily.

It’s irrelevant how many plebs travel , private jets are not listed , and it’s hypocritical that’s all especially when they are empty on many routes.
What do you think electric cars run off , have a guess

Re: Another Rebrand Brecon Beacons No More
I've got nothing against them changing the name to Welsh, if they want to - though people will carry on calling them the Brecon Beacons. But to suggest it's down to the design of a symbol is just ludicrous. It's not as though anyone is up there burning fiery beacons all year round - that just doesn't happen. They're called the Beacons, so you have a beacon as a symbol. It doesn't add anything to CO2 emissions or anything else, and to suggest it does is plain daft.

Nobody is an expert on this (and you have just copied a Twitter post ) but ultimately the renaming of the Brecon Beacons has nothing to do with climate change which is what the article suggested
This guy probably does know a bit though

Re: Another Rebrand Brecon Beacons No More
It's not a rebrand. It's just using the Welsh title for the Beacons instead.

So what's your point? Climate change doesn't exist? Or we should ignore the rise in CO2, which as you've helpfully pointed out is up 33% in just 20 years, because Scientists, Politicians and Celebrities are flying to climate change meetings and events?
If they flew commercially would that change your perspective? What about if they took the train? Or a bike?
Using private jets to attend climate change events is hypocritical. It also, statistically speaking, has zero affect on global CO2 emissions.
Air travel counts for roughly 2-3% of CO2 emissions annually. There's roughly 35-40 million commercial flights annually, excluding private, cargo and military flights.
With your best estimate, how many private jets fly to and from climate change events in a year?

I don’t know the numbers but you’re missing the point. The people advocating all these changes carry on as normal. I’m sure many of these events are not really necessary and even if they were it could be undertaken remotely.

Re: Another Rebrand Brecon Beacons No More
This is what you get with Wales-Bales/Ronnie clones I am afraid.
TWGL1: Apparently the earth’s atmosphere is 0.04% CO2 up from 0.03% 20 years ago
Others: That's shitloads
TWGLI: That's a tiny amount, there's more CO2 from a single volcano eruption than produced by mankind in a decade.
Others: That's bullshit and here are the facts to prove it.
TWGLI: Yeah but what about Greta and scientists and politicians and celebrities in private planes, they're most responsible.
Others: That's miniscule compared with commercial flights.
TWGLI: Yeah, but what about electric cars....and nobody's an expert anyway and you got all your shit off twitter...so there....and anyway here is some random Youtube video!

Re: Another Rebrand Brecon Beacons No More
Pretty sure language evolves naturally and is not subject to the diktats of some here today gone tomorrow unelected quango boss. The name Brecon Beacons has evolved its own cultural relevance and should be respected as such and not summarily dismissed as “a bit of nonsense”. Call them what you like in Welsh or English, to me these wonderful mountains will always be the Brecon Beacons.

Re: Another Rebrand Brecon Beacons No More
It didn't take long for the world to get used to other places reverting back to original names, so no reason why the same can happen with Bannau Brycheiniog.
