  2. It will be interesting to see how this unfolds, the cement and concrete industries are responsible for nearly 10% of the world’s annual carbon emissions but somehow get away with negative press coverage mostly.

    We hear a lot about the aviation industries pollution etc but it’s tiny in comparison to cement and concrete.

    Is it wrong for a polluter to grant money to researchers to help solve their pollution problem?

    Can anyone explain to me how this isn’t an earth shattering conflict of interest? How this doesn’t bang of oil companies in the US funding their respective public figures?
    Seriously I read this and I think we need to lock people up

    Never realised cement was terrible for the climate. So all the people concreting over their front garden so they can park more cars are really messing up the world, as well as wrecking the water table and depriving birds and insects of feeding?
