Current Affairs Climate Change Demonstrations.....

[peteblue]

There was one in my country market town today.

Where was that ?

 

[peteblue]

And how many are now generated developing and building the clean energy solutions?

Not sure if you are a troll, a cretin, or Donald Trump?

There’s no need for insults. It was a simple question. If you can’t answer it then fair enough, but no need for insults....

 

[peteblue]

I’m shaking my head at your critique of a youth movement not nailing the solution to creating a better environment as they skip double Maths.

Same as your previous questions of ‘did they clean up after themselves’.

You have long suggested on here that younger generations have it easy yet when kids are trying to make a difference for us all you just dismiss it.

No my friend. I understand action and results. I also understand wearing hearts on sleeves without actually doing anything, hence my questions about tidying up the environment....

 

[peteblue]

How would you suggest school kids take back control Pete?

They can’t. They could however go into the countryside and tidy it up. They could go around the cities and tidy them up. They could stand outside of Tesco’s to demand the abolition of plastic wrapping. They could march around the well heeled parts of London demanding the stoppage of wood fires.....there’s lots they can actually do.....

 

[peteblue]

For a poster who clearly rates his own intellect, since he was allowed back in these threads, the collective gene pool has deffo diminished,

Thank you for reminding everyone of your benevolence as a mod. I expected better tbh....

 

[peteblue]

Solar is rapidly becoming the best of the lot.

Solar panel companies are going bankrupt......

 

[peteblue]

OK Pete, so instead of straw man arguments like 'people at these marches litter, therefore the whole thing is pointless'.
Can you come up with 3 reasons why these marches are a good idea?
Just 3 reasons, and no negativity...

They raise awareness
They gain political support because politicians like to be associated with anything popular
They have a nice day in the sunshine...

That’s baseless.

These kids are not at the boardroom table of corporations that may make a difference but some of them will be one day.

This was a day of action to track the sun as it crosses the Earth and kids around the globe participated. If you cannot see the value of this act in the modern world then you are missing out.

Their actions sparked you to create a thread on a football site with the intention of encouraging debate. They succeeded Pete.

 

[peteblue]

They want to drive your generation into the sea for having supported foot-dragging on the issue for the past thirty years.

The seas are polluted with plastic, so no thanks....

I think you’ll find that I agree, as I’ve just written in another response......

You say they can’t so why even try?

You are just writing off the moral education of kids re our collective responsibility to the planet.

No I’m not. I would just like them to approach this matter in a more intelligent manner other than walking around the streets with banners.....

They are school kids Pete. They have generated world attention.

What did they do wrong? What was the missed opportunity as I’m not getting your point.

Is it tidying local countryside?

I said they did a good job of raising the point. But, I would like to see them take the next step and actually do something. It’s one thing to take a Friday off when the weather is nice. It’s quite another to roll up your sleeves and put some work in or be creative with the type of protests......

good luck to them getting off there bums and having a go, full of admiration for them.
