"Green" policies are destroying this country

...hopefully by that stage, their generation will have figured out, we dont actually have to tax everything out of existence, including the human race, it probably wont work anyway, and that we actually have to create brand spanking new institutions, in particular public ones, to deal with these issues, taxation is only one element to achieve these goals, it alone wont work, as us dumb adults havent truly figured out yet!

hes probably the most famous environmentalist alive, by traveling, he has educated most of us on our current issues, and still is....

Do you ever think maybe people like Attenborough should be the ones flying though? People who matter to very important causes? None of his work would have been possible without flying, it serves an important purpose, unlike a bunch of lads flying to Riga for a stag weekend for 50 euro return.

There is simply no way we can continue consuming as we are and living the lives we are living without the Earth being completely destroyed. So we can either completely change our lives, or we're facing war, famine, mass migration like we've never seen before, etc. A few euros less a week on tax will be the least of your worries.

There's no easy way out of this - which is why we aren't going to get out of this mess, I believe that people would rather go to war than change, we'll see in the coming decades. As soon as shortages become regular occurrences we'll have all kinds of nut jobs in power too.

So why give him credit for something he really isn't. He's basically an older version of Schofield flogging any old tat for profit

...again, it would simply be impossible to create these programs by sailing alone, theres an enormous amount of behind the scenes thats required to make such programming, most of which we dont see, ive been lucky to trek with professional photographers before, you d be surprised what goes on behind the scenes, hes nothing like someone that consumes addictive drugs such as coke....

yes, we cannot continue consuming as we are, but taxation alone will not solve this, its just going to p1ss more and more people off, leading them to not give a fcuk more and more, and will more than likely lead them to engage in more and more activities that will just cause even more environmental damage. we ve made too much emphasis on the taxation element that is required, and not enough on the investment side, particularly public investment, this is ultimately due to the approach of modern political and economic ideologies, it wont work

...again, because he has probably educated most humans on our current environmental issues, ive even had high level environmental scientists admit that hes played a far bigger role than most scientists have ever done in educating mankind on these matters

what horsesh1t is this????

Eamo having some verbal diarroea

They can fine us all they want. It won't make a difference because the targets are unattainable unless some mad technology is invented that gets rid of the need for fossil fuels etc. I'm thinking if solar got powerful enough to fully power a house/car etc. Other than that, we are p1ssing into the wind.

The reasons I think the above:

1. Most people aren't willing to take the kind of hit to their lifestyle/standard of living that is needed to hit the targets.
2. The population is continually increasing so the target is getting more and more unrealistic.

Of course taxation wont solve it, us paying an extra 20 euro a week or something like that on fuel isn't going to solve anything, and really I don't know how people can get pissed off with that given the damage it's doing.

If we wanted to actually save the Earth, taxes would be the least of our worries. A massive reduction in the available products we import and sell for starters. We are encouraged to change our house interior and furniture every few years, completely unnecessary, and requires massive stores like IKEA full of Chinese crap for these things to happen. Fast fashion, more crap we don't need. Most people were fine when clothes shops were closed during Covid.

So basically we'd have to be restricted on all kinds of things, have far, far less consumer choice and spending power. We would have to make do with a lot less, like people did in the past. But we're f*cking snowflakes now and want everything from anywhere in the world whenever we want.

So yeah, war is the only outcome I can see in the 21st century when food and resource shortages start to kick off, I know Canada and Russia has massive reductions in grain harvests this year, who knows how bad things will be in 20 years.

the reason why so many are getting p1ssed off, is because the cost of living has become so great, particularly in relation to meeting their property needs, house prices and rent etc, hence our approach of taxation is just going to continue to fail, fail to meet citizens needs, including their environmental needs. this is ultimately due to modern political and economic ideologies, implemented by both the left and right, its not going to work.

again, theres virtually little or no emphasis on the bigger picture here, for example, if we did in fact dramatically reduce our consumption, particularly under these modern ideologies, if would more than likely lead to catastrophic economic crashes globally, i.e. our whole global economic systems are primarily based on growing consumption, we simply cant turn it off, without implementing ways to make sure all humans most critical needs are met in turn, we still havent figured out how to do this, and many ideas that may just work, arent even being currently entertained!
