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

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?
As if by magic, we have a right wing objector.
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.
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!
I was wondering when you would pop up, just like clockworkrent free again is it ?
I must admit I had some fun typing up your stupidity!I was wondering when you would pop up, just like clockwork
Ha ha good one love it
if anything Brecon beacons was the rebrand
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.
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.
Chicken Kyiv for tea anyone, followed by a trip to Leningrad, Bombay, Peking and Ayres Rock?
The Spanish refer to Munich as Monaco, the French call Antwerp Anvers and Aachen Aix-la-Chapelle and German speakers refer to Vipiteno in Italy as Sterzing. Confusing innit?
would they call Mynachdy that as well?
I've always found most Spaniards to be pretty relaxed about the name Mynachdy. What rages them is that the estate is split in two by Western Avenue, with the northern part being in Llandaff North, despite it very much not being Llandaff North.
Their rage is understandable
Isn't Mynachdy twinned with Madrydd?
In the age of democracy and people's view where was the public consultation on the name change for the Brecon folk whose local community benefits from cross border visits and stays, they pay their local taxes , should they have a view about this matter ? apprantly not .
its political virtue signalling at its best ,waste of taxpayers money and the committee loop who suggested the word Beacon could promote more hill fires is bonkers .
More non purpose politics keeping them in the headlines whilst nothing of substance takes hold In health ,education and infrastructure.
Fair play, you are absolutely bonkers.
I think the Welsh language should be used alongside it really. It doesnt strike me as a key priority - increasing access to the Brecon Beacons and preserving them is probably the main thing. This is just symbolic that if anything is designed to detract attention from other more important issues (notably parking, potential overuse of Pen y Fan etc.
Would people support Cardiff formally becoming Caerdydd, and Caerdydd only?
Agreed, why isn't the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park Authority doing more about NHS and teacher strikes, or the cost of living crisis!!1!1!
Yes, in the same was as München is only ever called München, and absolutely nothing else in any other language...
Yeah but would you support Cardiff formally being Caerdydd, as opposed to being used interchangably as Cardiff or Caerdydd?
