Current Affairs Climate Change Demonstrations.....

So you th

So you think it would be a bad thing if we were carbon neutral (obvs not by 2025) along with the other countries XR are protesting in? There is literally no point in it?

You're missing the point again here. No one (apart from maybe @dandydan ) is saying this isn't good. What they are saying is that people climbing on the Tube will have no effect on this.

You’re missing the point

Nope. You are generalising that anyone 'old' (and male) would be against women having the vote.

Which is complete nonsense.

The UK is on course to fully operate its electricity system with zero carbon by 2025!!

@bol-uk do you not think this is progress?

He didn’t and he made the argument pretty clearly

Why wouldn't I?

Nope, I am saying that then, that was the norm much as it is now with XR.

Sorry but when you say "In the grand scheme of things, it'd be a fart in the wind." I can't help but think you are implying it is not worth bothering. IE, it is too insignificant an amount warrant doing.

 

[bol-uk]

No, I think it'd be absolutely fantastic, but realistically, that can't happen. The Government has said it plans to stop the sale of petrol and diesel cars by 2035... now that's a realistic and fair target in my opinion. There's gotta be a bit of give and take.

Yep, totally agree.

I mean, I didn't like, so let's at least be accurate.

 

[bol-uk]

by stopping the movement of European Parliament, which happens on a yearly basis. Forcing the change of a European Treaty which would then be a case of the “power makers” actually implementing something they are trying to enforce

a current case of do as we say, rather than do as we do

but no, let’s stop Jane the single mum who needs to be at her first job for 7:30am to ensure she makes a basic salary to feed her kids

I think you’ve missed the point, and just believe that any mass disruption is an effective manner of hammering home a point.

Try telling that to the people of Barcelona, who at this very moment are protesting in a manner similar to XR. There must be a reason most protests have a similar MO, could it be perhaps that it is effective?

Oh I am calm big man.

Good. Then we can all go back to discussing things like big boys and sneering at idiots that think it’s all a myth.
