Are in Manchester today

Might pop down at lunchtime 

Wonder if they’ll take their plastic bottles home with them?

Aaaah, I apologise then. I thought you meant you were getting shorter. In that case ignore the HGH thing which you successfully identified.

I shall save my water cannon and baton charging for protestors preferences for a later date.

Christ it took me a long time to get this. I'm having a slow Saturday.

Boris loves his water canons. You might be in luck.

Sadly, I think they've moved it on.  Your comrade Sadiq of the great unwashed didn't like the prospects of scruffy irks stopping people going about their everyday business and getting a free wash and brush up at the ratepayers expense.

Aw well that is shame now isn't it.

Now there's a grand title... I have to say, Sadiq looks a bit to squeaky clean for that role. 

I look forward to welcoming you to the great unwashed when shit really hits the fan. Don't worry, I'll let you have a go on my solar shower, there's HGH in there. 

Here's something for you m'dear. I thought you might appreciate the gentle American voice narrating rather than my brutally boring essays. You're probably more of a visual learner.

Not opening that. Infection control.

Just seen that Amazon are to independently push towards meeting climate change targets (Paris?) 10 years ahead of its aimed date.

Some controversy perhaps over electric vehicles, but it's perhaps a start of global corporations adapting their businesses to meet climate challenges.

Could be the very boost to governments that stronger legislation in this area will actually be welcomed.

Perhaps they’ll sort their massive overuse of cardboard?

You saw the picture of the drumsticks then?

A step in the right direction, just got to deliver so to speak.

Out in force today in Keswick.

You need to read Stark by Ben Elton if you haven't already P

It's set in Perth, funny as fuck and was written 20 odd years ago.

Old Benny predicted a lot of what we are seeing now.

Regardless, it's just dead funny. And rips the piss out of Aussies

Loads of them out in Manc, overheard the speaker saying "that dickhead Boris Johnson". Shit student union politics.

And back to the beginning of the thread. Immediately get politicised and jumped on by folk with an axe to grind one way or the other.

Mother nature doesn't give a fuck about Johnson, Corbyn , trump or anyone of their supporters.

Bunch of watermelons. Demand action, but ignore that the UK is already way ahead of the pack on action because it's easier to have a tantrum and pretend nothing is being done. Their manifesto specifically rejects lots of things which would actually help because they only want a left wing agrarian solution. If they were really serious about the environment they'd be happy with any actual solution.

What do they want?

Includes;

Climate justice and reparations

A stream of them marched passed my shop this morning. Banging a drum and holding banners. I doubt they will be there tomorrow (Saturday)

I know I’ve posted these  before but I’ll post them again. Whatever your thoughts on global warming, whatever we do in this country is utterly pointless when countries like China and India Pursue their relentless  economic growth. Banning straws in McDonalds etc. might enable people to sleep better at night but it won’t make one bit of difference.

I take your point - but doing nothing is not an option either. At least Extinction Rebellion are attempting to do something radical(ish) which is very much needed in my opinion. 

Human beings fight for a lot of things. This is probably the only thing right now that is worth fighting for. I can honestly see a future where countries will go to war if some go down a zero emissions route - and another goes down a 'we don't care we'll just carry on burning fossil fuels' route.

I agree doing nothing isn't an option. But ER and these turnips today waving anti establishment banners are going to do more harm. Makes people resent them and then they've failed.

I do believe big business will start to lead the way, as they can use it as a marketing tool.

Governments will feel more confident about introducing legislation.

And we can all stop buying cheap Chinese shit wherever possible.

Sky news now- in 2017, China burned more coal than the rest of the world combined.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ll do my bit with recycling and reducing my carbon footprint. We actually decided not to replace my company van and share our car because I’ve always thought it was a bit ostentatious to be a two car family when we can manage with one.

This may  seem a little sanctimonious but at least I, personally, am doing something. I’m not asking others to do the same. 

I frequently use the bus or walk home. You know where I work and I live in Farnworth. That’s my choice. I was brought up in a family with no car so it’s no problem for me. I wonder if these kids who are demonstrating are the same ones taken to and from school in a car. 

Ban the car for school journeys. How many McDonalds straws and toys would that be equivalent to?

On that note, here’s an amusing take on it

 

 

Haha just watched that. Tremendous.

People have to change rather than protest.

Aye - it's all the 10 year olds faults.

The cunts!

Good on em. 

And that double barrelled bint can fuck right off

Nope. The parents and teachers for exploiting them. At their age I’d have skipped school for a United trophy winning procession!

Why can’t we put massive air conditioning units all over the globe and point them to the sky? 

Surely that would cool the planet down?

send rockets out to space loaded with ice and blast it all over the ozone layer. .

How come kids were let out of skoo?

You may jest but it's got to stage when us domestic plumbers will take over from the oligists and save the goddamn planet. 

Deployment of 500kva UPS systems so solar isn't wasted. Wave energy within reach. Solar farms that cover reservoirs. 

Got to survive 20 years for fusion to send us to the stars if we're not blown up in name of a dark ages God before.
