14-15 years ago here in Australia, my two bosses at a cable duct company I worked for asked me what I thought about climate change and global warming and what suggestion I would give to help the situation, I told them I didn't really believe in global warming and climate change, but if I had to come up with an idea I would get rid of rubbish by way of burning it, and somehow turning the burn into energy, they just laughed at me, and asked what would I do with all the toxic fumes from the burnt rubbish, and I said I didn't know and I still don't know, but I guess Turkey figured it out, well done.
