You're totally wrong. The UK's record on the environment is as good as any Western economy. Go to China [not by plane though], where the are building a coal-fired power station every month. India, Pakistan, etc.

These people do f*ck all, just tell others how to live - dont' fly, don't eat meat, don't drive. Yet they're nearly all privileged, with the time and money to go round screwing everybody else before they go back to Mummy and Daddy and their ponies..

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.

Very serious subject, but a bit of humour is ok sometimes too. Quote from a mate's mum: "those climate change protesters have been very lucky with the weather".

I'm sure it seems like that but I think it's more a question of not like being told by everyone and his dog how to live their lives, what to eat, etc, etc. Personally I do what I can to look after the environment around me...

Isn't that sort of their point though? Saying our record is as good as any other Western nation and far better than worst performing isn't good enough, we're in a position where doing what is comfortable isn't good enough, and while we can't control what China is doing we can control what the UK is doing. There are protestors in other nations, perhaps not China, who are saying exactly the same thing with their countries respectively.

Privileged voice giving that message or not, it seems to be a clear statement about how close we are as a planet to things getting very messy.
