Climate & Other Protesters Discussion

What caused the earth to go into and then come out of the ice age?
No human intervention in that.

Milankovitch cycles.

The focus should be on more practical arguments, regarding the rise in plastics in various ecosystems, or poor air/water quality. These things have a direct adverse effect on human life and would be more relatable to the people in whose interest environmental action would most urgently serve.

They are all linked. I'm been quite vocal about this as my Green Party meetings. Environmental policy should be focused on local benefits rather than meta problems, highlighting the practical benefits of refactoring the economy to carbon neutral. Better, cheaper public transport options, more cycle lanes/join pavement cycle use, local food policy which promotes UK produced goods, better local amenities so you don't have to travel miles to go to school, see a doctor, shop etc. Less pollution, better air quality, cheaper homes.

There are hundreds of benefits that make much more sense than talking about coal mines in China.

I'd agree with that.

It's daft that all the new builds don't fit solar panels as standard. Should be law to fit them.

As long as her cell is extra padded, let her carry on.

Critical Race Theory, I doubt she's ever read the original article which makes perfect sense.

This is the police getting tough.

Many have now been arrested three times

Some threw blue paint on the road, which led to police deciding to shut junctions for even longer to clean it off.

This will now lead to everyone getting loft insulation.

[Zambo]

I am at a total loss to understand why there is anyone supporting these cunts.

Footpaths/pavements are for pedestrians, roads are for vehicles and bicycles. All cyclists using the road should be insured and pay road tax.
