Exactly. Right wing media in hyperbole shocked!

This. Last summer most of SW France was on fire amongst many other places. These aren’t the localised or even regional wild fires of my childhood anymore. Pressure on environment has never been greater, yet still, still, people go about their business as if not happening. For the record, there’s...

Other forms of enjoying self are available you know. I wouldn’t advise anyone to head to the Med region in summer. Despite the inferno that’s lasted for 2 weeks now, travel agents here have said people are still booking up to go there. Even if you haven’t been paying attention for several years...

The supreme irony of people flying into fires caused by climate change eh?! The average idiot that still booked a Greek/Italian/Spanish etc holiday only a few weeks ago deserves those Apocalyptic scenes in my view. Totally predictable. This latest example of human stupidity is why I’ve argued...

What about the enormous risks of leaks, explosions, 1000s of years of radioactive waste and scarcity of locations? Not very sustainable. Not the solution IMO

Not with the risks, and time to build and scarcity of locations. We need and there are better solutions.

You’d like to think so, however the getting it together bit is already past tense so there’s no stopping it now. We simply have to live with the consequences of damage so far; and the even greater damage / disasters to come. Is it Beer time yet? :(

I never knew that. Doh!! But yes, it’s a better watch with alcohol

You’ve watched something that doesn’t go out for another 90 minutes? How?

This this and this again. Sadly. Mines a lager… :)

Does the publicity achieve anything, really? It’s not like a single person on earth isn’t abundantly aware of climate change and fossil fuels role-in. Instead, what’s lacked is leadership, radical action and expediency. JSO are a complete failure in this regard too. Far too little, way too late...

Online petition? They also tick the I’ve done something box, even if they’re equally ineffective

No, I don’t think we’ll become extinct albeit billions will suffer, to varying degrees. I do wish people would stop using future tense to describe climate change, it’s already here, accelerating and irreversible. Best stop pretending / hoping otherwise. Choosing to spend time worrying, or...

Hope is optimism, pretending in this context. Have you heard of the Stockdale Paradox? Google if not. Anyway, I’m always persuaded by acknowledging reality, the facts, however brutal, to resolve problems. Generally the facts are we’re facing the worst crisis humanity has ever known. It’s beyond...

I agree entirely. That’s why I believe there’s no use worrying. Worrying is caused hope, a mistaken belief we can prevent, reverse etc. The brutal truth is we can’t. It’s not in the future, it’s happening now and will continue to worsen. Better to therefore accept, and prepare for the...

It’s not a question on support though now is it? Nobody in their right mind doesn’t support. But that’s not enough is it? You need to wake up, stop hoping and understand you cannot prevent. It’s already happening, look outside!

You might disagree, but you’re entirely wrong about keep talking. The debate is over. It finished a long time ago. Drastic action is not a viable option, it requires an effort of such magnitude and coordination it’s pure fantasy. Moreover, the damage is done and irreversible. Everyone needs to...

People have been talking about for decades though. That ship sailed. What was needed (deliberate past tense) was some drastic action. Believe me, people will simply fly over the burning earth etc than think “I’ve caused that”

I’d go along with that. Whatever they think they’re achieving, it’s pathetic. As if no one’s heard about climate change and doesn’t understand fossil fuels chief cause. Besides, they’re a bit late to the party. If they’d interrupted Wimbledon circa 1950 I’d be more sympathetic. Telling us we’re...
