Current Affairs Climate Change Demonstrations.....

[peteblue]

You sound like my nephew who thought I was the oldest person in the world on the basis that if you grew a little each year then, obviously,his 6’5” uncle must be incredibly old.

Age, knowledge and wisdom are not directly correlatable, as you prove on a daily basis.

Why do you always try to make it a personal attack, can you not just debate.....

Fantastic stuff from a generation that has fight in all the right ways, very sad however that it brings out a load of sneering old white guys on here

 

[peteblue]

They claim that in a dozen years the damage will be irreversible if we don’t act. They’re backed up by science.

Oh well, if it’s backed up by science. So exactly what will happen 12 years from now.....

 

[peteblue]

you seem fixated on the day off in the nice weather. It happened in 170 countries Pete, not just England. It all started with a 15 year old Swede sitting in the snow last year.
A, now 16 year old, autistic girl has inspired millions of kids around the world to protest inaction and you’re complaining because they didn’t go to tescoes. Google picked today to announce this
https://www.theguardian.com/technol...ls-will-lead-to-2bn-wind-and-solar-investment

It’s fantastic how one girl has managed all this and got all the politicians fawning over her. Of course they do this not because she is popular, not that they want the kids future votes, but because they really believe it. Well if the adults really believed it they would have done something and not just turn up for photographic opportunities at protests. The proof of the pudding is what happens next.....

Hey, if these young kids can show up the snowflake generation I’m all for it.......

Ergo, unless you've lived the same life experience as me, you aren't qualified to comment. What an incredibly patronising viewpoint.

'The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently'

Not at all. Just pose the same questions to yourself, what did you know at age 6, 16, 26, 36. If you can tell me that you learnt nothing between those ages that added to your previous knowledge then fine.......

 

[peteblue]

Don't know why any off you bother with him its the same dismissive crap every time with him

It goes like this.

Pete's opinion...
constructive replies
Pete's dismissive retorts
More constructive replies
Sarcasm and more dismissive retorts
People getting annoyed
Pete then makes comments about his own life and draws parallels or comparisons

He will always be the opposite of the popular opinion and has no shame defending it. He will always defend his own "factual" knowledge even when he know's he is wrong.

I'll expect him to make a smart comment in reply to this about how stupid i am or how i offer nothing blah blah blah.

I always enjoy your input.....

Fairbourne in wales, spent many hours on that beach in the 80s. Its a popular retirement area now, so it does not matter.

“This is a wake-up call for the country,” she says, making her way up the steep shingle bank to the wall that protects her white bungalow from the waves. “This is going to happen elsewhere. Sometimes you have to see someone else go through it – we just happen to be the first.”

‘This is a wake-up call’: the villagers who could be Britain’s first climate refugees

As sea levels rise, Fairbourne, sandwiched between mountains and the beach, is being returned to the waves. But where will its residents go?

christ on a bike, this is such a petty stupid point.
Do you think they are learning nothing today?

Well, if they came in on a Saturday to make up for what they'd missed, no one could have any complaint about them taking the day off school midweek.

It'd be to their benefit all round, I reckon.

 

[Blue 1]

I take it they will all be holidaying in Wales then, using a push bike instead of getting a car and not having the latest smart phone as they contain plastic?

You’re assuming they learned nothing.

Kin state in ere like.

Broad overlap of those brave brexiteers and those who cba with the environment until it effects them personally duly noted.

 

[Methuselah]

Far more likely manufacturing jobs will be lost to robots than to kids marching in the streets about climate change policy.

When are we going to get a robot to replace DCL?

Old lads who voted for brexit ‘for the sake of their grandchildren’ but aren’t overly arsed about climate change as it won’t affect them.
Bit of a contradiction going on here. Could be something else at play ...

Haha, maybe!

Might be something in appealing to technological solutions that don't exist whilst not embracing existent technology too mate.
