Just a reminder that every post here, the operation of this forum, the electricity used to power your device - all of these things are contributing to climate change. That sofa you’re sat on/bed you’re laid in/computer you’re sat at? Produced by means which contribute to climate change.

No shit Sherlock. The strategy is to reduce emissions not to eliminate them. Why drive. 3.0 diesel when you could have a much smaller engine with much lower emissions etc?

It is just a cult.

Simple minded morons groomed to do stupid things without fully understanding the consequences.

What sort of consequences would putting a bit of paint on a snooker table have then ?

Would this be so f**king funny if they'd had KNIVES in their hands, grappled with the players trying to stop them and been STABBED? They could very easily have chosen to slash the cloths.

Some pathetic comments from snooker haters.

MY GOD, they've escalated to STABBING people already

Exactly.
Do we learn nothing from sad incidents such as Monica Seles experienced?

And now they're picking on Tennis Players

I wouldn’t be surprised if we do see violence in the future from some environmental groups.

And being violent as well ? This will DEFINITELY be the lead story for WEEKS

Some of them fantasise about revolutions coming.

And fantasies about revolutions coming to the fore

Can snowflakes clutch pearls ?

You’re preaching to the converted on this issue. I am pointing out that I’ve witnessed the hypocrisy first hand of several protestors. Their disillusionment with society as a whole plays a huge part in their ideals. How can a starry eyed teenager in Nike trainers throwing milk on the floor of Asda lecture others about everything society is doing wrong?

Climate change is a huge issue, and it does begin at home. But the absolute hypocrisy and holier-than-thou attitude simply doesn’t stand up to any kind of scrutiny.

You have to say, what's in it for them?

Answer - Nothing, they will suffer consequences for their actions. I support what they are doing but wouldn't be prepared to make the same personal sacrifice.

What a cretinous argument. It's possible to both be a user of polluting technologies ( because there's literally no other choice) and wish that as a society we would speed up our efforts to provide alternatives and prevent the earth being turned into a massive slow cooker.

Sure there’s a choice. Everyone has a choice, that is the entire point of their argument. I hope you don’t act as a spokesman for them!!!

Have you no heart? Some SNOOKER got EVER SO SLIGHTLY DELAYED. Dear God, the humanity. People didn’t die in world wars to allow men knocking some balls around a table to be momentarily held up.

 

[Billy the Fish]

Actually rather troubling to see so many on here immediately responding to protest with demands for incarceration or similar. All because some powder got thrown on a table.

Guess some people just love authoritarianism.

What would you think if I vandalised some of your possessions in the name of climate change?

I pay my taxes to have the snooker run on time, I want my money back.

They'd probably think you'd gone mad.
And wonder how you'd found their address.

Just got sent this - their previous predictions have been pretty accurate…?

So all the people who are demanding action be taken collectively own the snooker table?

 

[Deportivo Seagull]

Indeed there were a lot of events that impacted it. I'm not sure Emily dying did anything to make it happen sooner.

Based upon what exactly? General consensus is that it did so why would you think otherwise?

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

They said the same about the suffragettes…

…and those opposed to apartheid…

…Watt Tyler and the revolting peasants…

That’s a bit of an insult to the Sufragettes, anti Apartheid movement and Watt Tyler. Actually it’s a major insult.

I'm pretty sure most of these can be filed under "straw-man" or "things that are demonstrably happening".

No, but I can empathise with the people who bought a ticket and now had their evening ruined. All the hours of time wasted for organisers to rectify some pillocks daft protest.
