Sir David warns us, the crisis has come

Just because David Attenborough flies around with camera crews to make important documentaries on the planet and wildlife doesn't mean it's ok for everyone to be flying 10 times a year.

So , sir David has had his fun and probably still continues to have his fun but ordinary Joe / Josephines can’t have theirs .

Well how high and mighty of sir david:eek:

Good to hear the godless Dave is going to offer up his entire and massive £24m fortune (net worth), to help save the planet. Also the big house in Richmond would suit co-living project for dozens of key sector workers.
As part of the 0.001% global elite, he would only insist on giving away such obese wealth - as a research and development donation to new and emmerging carbon reduction/capture technologies.

What we need, is another Elite-ist telling the rest of us what to do :eek:

We really just need more and more of that:eek::eek::eek:

David Attenborough is both unlucky enough to have lived to witness the beginning of the Holocene Extinction, but lucky enough that he likely won't have to stick around to watch it properly get going.

Are you saying this climate change stuff is a religious cult ?

Once this Chinese corona virus kills 250 million+ people world wide, and destroys the fabric of our current economic system, we'll probably not have to worry too much about climate change for a while.

There was more animals worldwide farting out gasses and supposedly potentially damaging the atmosphere, for thousands of years.

20 years ago we were all looking forward to lough derg being composed of saltwater and most of the west of Ireland covered by the ocean.

Glaciers in parts of North America and Alaska are increasing in size rather than melted.

The biggest problem is the amount of chemicals destroying the ecosystem.

By the way a lot of the food you're eating is cloned especially cerials, fruits and soy products.

We can digest them but it's not natural to be consuming this stuff,tastes good but that's about it.

****ing around with nature is not good, and if they keep going it's going to be devastating.

There's an old movie from the 80's called The Omen 2 part 2 of the omen and it has a scene in it of how they're going to feed the world with the mass production of cereals and fruit.
Even back then I knew there was something dodgy about hybridization of plants.

Basically zombie food for a zombie population.

Insects...

Listening to a discussion about global warming on the radio the other day and they were saying that insect levels have drastically declined since the 1970s. So what's killed them off, and can we survive without them?

Without insects I guess the birds will suffer too.

Something like this, or a supervolcano/asteriod strike/w3 (all overdue) will be the likely counterbalance to overpopulation.

The current strain in China may not be it, and similar SARS wasn't really that bad, but there is always a chance of this one, or the next can go global.

Folks at Imperial College London on Friday said 1,700 likely infected in Wuhan (reckon also 2019-nCov virus may come from bats sold at fruit market). But authorities there say it's only 198. Also some cases in Jap/SK/Thai.

They also say it's not easily transmitted between humans, though also have not ruled out limited human-to-human transmission.

The big issue would be for anyone sitting 12+hrs (with transfers) on a plane (Lunar New Year holidays) heading back to their Chinatown neighbourhoods in SF, NY or Ldn.

The CDC have introduced health screenings at 3 of the Main airports that take passengers from Wuhan. That’s how seriously they are taking it.

The British have not.

And I would not believe a word coming out of Beijing on the spread of this.

It would take a lot more than that. Irish people have vast wealth compared to most of the world, even those we deem poorest, so we'd need to take a big hit too on how we live our lives, consumption and economic growth really do seem to be the planet killers .

ghost of ireland past

Too many people. Maybe we should have a cull. We'll look for volunteers first of course, and then draw lots.

Otherwise we might all die. It's like overloading a lifeboat.

When the Titanic sank people in lifeboats had to endure the pleas and the cries of those who were dying in the water around them, but they couldn't take them into their boats as their boats would become overloaded and sink.


If the Titanic sank today there'd be no survivors, as all the lifeboats would sink, due to do-gooders and virtue signallers.

It's all relative, if a couple on the average industrial wage (of the country they live in) can't likely ever afford to buy a house, then something is very wrong.

They could head somewhere else (less wealthy) do the same work, have a house, and some spare change.

Dave has a spare £24,000,000 and a big empty house, which likely puts him into the obscene 0.0001% wealth category.

In fairness, there are plenty of houses you could buy in Dublin with 2 salaries at 39k which is the average wage apparently. I managed to buy one alone on 35k a couple of years ago! You just may not be in some leafy suburb.

I was wondering when the word "denier" was going to be introduced in this thread ............. and it didn't take long.
Ever time I hear a climate enthusiast use the words "climate denier", I have this mental image of the funny Monty Python sketch where they chase the "unbeliever" and try to kill him for having a different view. Other times though, when I hear the "denier" word being used as an accusation, the Spanish Inquisition comes to mind and I think about the tactics they used on "unbelievers" ........ such is the fervour of the climate devout.

TBF it's a handy label. 'climate change denier' is more on point.
It's seen as a negative because it goes against scientific fact and we generally use science as a factual bar.

Pods are the answer. A person can live in a pod 2.5m long x 1.5m high x 1.5m wide . You could easily fit 50 plus pods into the space occupied by the average semi-d. The Japanese have pod dwellings for decades, no reason why people can't live in them full time.

It is 100%. A quazi-Pentacostalist Doomsday/Salvation/Endtimes style religious cult.

That is completely obvious to most people who aren't upper middle class or are getting paid to support the holy doctrine.

Both his royal highness Prince Philip and his royal highness Prince Charles were and are at the forefront of the environmental movement. There is nothing wrong with aristocracy when it points it's subjects in the right direction. Her Majesty the Queen recognised Sir David's contribution to environmental causes by giving him his title. Your post smacks of jealousy tbh.

Remember the hole in the ozone layer?

Well apparently it's now closed as a result of us doing away with CFC gas in fridges & aerosols.

Problem with carbon is that the emissions are multi origin, from cows farting to 747s in the sky to my old diesel car which all contribute to Co2 emissions. Maybe if we let the ozone hole reopen, then the abundance of carbon gas would escape out through the hole and global warming would be at an end as the Co2 abated in our atmosphere?
