So,with a little luck,going back to the future will solve many of our issues.....

We better get moving before them Bangla's get the notion of heading towards our standard ?

Right, so in order to save the environment we have to live like a 3rd world country that is corrupt and where women are treated like second class citizens?

Surely having less kids would be easier? Of course it doesn’t suit the narrative, people want to continue overpopulating the world and then act like eco warriors when it comes to the environment.

OMG we haz to save the environment for all me childers and granchilders.

Once again. Even if we had less kids, we're still consuming way too much in rich countries. Are you willing to have less kids, and buy less crap and lower your standards of living?

I’m just wondering to myself, come Paddy’s day are all the ministers going to sacrifice flying to all corners of the globe and Leo cancel his washington trip? I gather mr climate Bruton definately won’t be flying?

She has indeed and again telling the great unwashed how things should be done to save the planet...

Climate activist Greta Thunberg has said she will continue to "put pressure on people in power,"

A couple more tantrums no doubt ...

https://www.cnn.com/2019/12/03/europe/greta-thunberg-lisbon-cop25-intl-scli/index.html

"We need to work together to make sure that we secure future living conditions for humankind and that we fight for not only ourselves but for our children and for our grandchildren and for every single living being on earth," the teenage activist told reporters.

There we are folks - everyone needs to keep breeding to save the planet for ourselves.

She makes it all sound so easy. A lot of people are only a couple of bounced pay cheques from poverty.

Tell me how

What was that you were saying about some people not being able to make a compelling argument?

Anyway, I'll discuss at the level you are obviously comfortable with.

Nope. Again no idea who or what you are referring to. I reckon you're mixing peoples posts up tbh. Can't think otherwise for the constant confusion. But hey no worries.

Want to discuss the article no? Genuine question.

Note: As detailed previously (many times) none of that denies climate change btw.

I think snoopsheep put it very well ...

i note that we now dont have to listen to greta, that people cared about the environment before greta, that greta is not the authoritative voice on any environmental issue, and that one can in fact care about the environment without, even now, agreeing with greta.

Just like that. Lets all world leaders play happy clappy because Greta says so.

Donald Trump got elected on a campaign pledge to put American peoples wealth ahead of staying in the Paris accord.

Won’t somebody think of the ‘grand’children

This will really confuse the CC activists who also attend the Free Palestine protests

In short- they have genetically engineered cells, so they're sufficiently starving that they'll try to carbon from CO2- and in the process, fix environmental CO2 into organic forms.

Genetically starving cells- is a recipe for them to evolve at an abnormally fast rate independent of the environment they find themselves in. We already have serious issues with other strains of e-coli- it is entirely foreseeable that we're creating conditions for future strains of super e-coli to run riot.

At present this is purely a laboratory experiment- how long before some bright spark decides to upscale it?

"We are watching you. The younger generation is watching you and we will make sure that you actually must do something.

"I think people are underestimating the force of angry kids. We are angry and we are frustrated but it is because a good reason.

"If they want us to stop being angry then maybe they should stop making us angry."

The royal "We".

Stop making "Me" angry and .........what then ?

People need to realise that our pollution has potential to severely affect extremely poor people on other parts of the planet.

For example if our actions cause more extreme drought in Africa leading to death and famine we need to take responsibility for this.

Not my problem, not our problem. Unluckily for them through the lottery of birth they were born in a third world country. I’m not gonna flagellate myself because there’s a drought in Somalia.

Thankfully, you are vastly in the minority in today's world.

the human race would not have survived this long if everyone was so self focused.

Thank you laying it out so succinctly.

As I said, if that mentality was the majority, the human race would not be here by now. We wouldn't be having this conversation.

You are a minority. I think you like that fact, it makes you feel unique.
