Climate protesting tossers

[Heathblue]

I got to the bit when he said "I'll take it seriously when governments start banning plastic". Talk about missing the point completely.

Oh look, back up's in.

[lardy]

Oh look, back up's in.

Aww, poor love, does more than one person think you're taking rubbish? Better pretend the nasty boys are ganging up on you.

[Heathblue]

Talking rubbish, Have you found any collusion yet Mueller and his 30 million budget never managed it, but there is no fooling you

Seems some on here (flat earthers I presume) are saying on the one hand they don't believe in global warming and, on the other, there's not enough being done to tackle climate change.

To be fair, we should remember that almost 3 per cent of relevant scientists don't believe in it either and " the leader of the free world" is on their side.

From what I can gather they’ll start taking it seriously once everything that contributes to it has been removed.

We need water cannons on the loose with them

They need to get jobs and lives ,our country is at the forefront of change ,yes it could do more ,however that comes at a cost of jobs and peoples wages.

If you deploy the change too aggressively or quickly it can adversely effect folk , just take the ideas , where we remove diesel vehicles now , or greatly reduce the need for red meat intake .

Yes you can do more ,but where do you draw the line , as I dont fancy living of bugs in a tent , some of these loops look just at home with that very existence,probably a lot of them are being treated for some form of anxiety issue.

What has the climate got against the occasional toss? I rub one out in the shower from time to time. The sun still comes out.

We might be better than China but all countries can do better, a lot more in fact. In that respect, he's not "totally wrong".

I think I can detect a real generational difference of opinion, between those worried about the future and those who couldn't care less and just think they're being hassled.

Blame the older generation again, when it's today's throwaway society, must have with immediacy, must have anything from anywhere in the world, on their plate now.

We used to repair virtually all electrical goods. Now if it's more than 3 years old. Throw it away and get a new one.

The proliferation of plastic bags is as a direct result of growth in supermarkets. The same supermarkets that feed the gullible that they are doing their bit for the planet. The same supermarkets that will get cheaper and cheaper produce from aroubd the world, often creating the deforestation and replacement with palm trees for all of the crap that we eat in the West. The same supermarkets that have helped increase a lot of our societal problems by selling cheap booze. All of the packaging for multi packs or anything, when they dupe people into buying so much food that we throw a large percentage of it away.
Disposable nappies because mum's are far too busy now. Yet somehow mum's managed with towelling nappies in the past when having a washing machine was a luxury.
A generation or two ago, people would buy from their local grocers who would get most of their produce locally, same with butchers.
People would buy the quantity they needed, not what some faceless Tesco computer generated knowledge of every purchase you ever bought, tells you to buy.

There are so many more cars on the roads than ever before, there are more flights anywhere in the world than ever before.

There are so many great things with what is happening today, but sometimes more than a little introspection will go a long way.

You're quite correct with your list - but the people who actually did all those things are not the ones in their 20s now.

You start with the words "Blame the older generation again" and then set out a very convincing argument as to why you should do precisely that - the words "There are none so blind as those who will not see" spring to mind for some reason.

Haven't you just proved his original point for him?

[Eric Cartman]

they ain't got the bollocks to protest in the real villains back-gardens, like China ,Russia .

Lets hop there is no public service employees there ,and were not paying their wages to block road , airports, and disrupt those who do have to work,hopefully not one of them drove or took transport to get there ,adding the London's already burdened pollution.

If they got so much time on their hands ,why dont they decamp to one of the desperate poverty stricken places on earth who want there help now .

You realise these are British people, why would they go and protest in China?

[xsnaggle]

you think that these people protesting here will change the opinion of the chinese government????

[Eric Cartman]

Eh? No.

[life on mars]

Because they're the real polluters.



My point is, if they want to make a noise, take on the real polluting countries not ours , fly into China, Russia or India ,they won't though as they know what they will get (and it won't be softly, softly policing )

How many public protests in China by foreign nationals have changed their government policies, mate?

They pay the wages of the people who make policy here in this country. What business do they have protesting in China or Russia?

It may seem unfair to some developing countries that pollution is being clamped down on when other countries already have the advantage of their industrial revolutions and reaped the benefits accordingly - although we know that something has to be done, of course.

Developing countries?, China, Russia, India are nuclear powers and are key space race powers, I do get what you are saying but these countries have enough wealth to be putting their wealth to making this earth a better place. I don't think its unfair at all to clamp down on China India and Russia.
