The Environmental Thread

[p4pking]

Look at the population of the UK over the past 200 years alone. It's mental, then you expand it globally and it is insanity. The countries that produce massive amounts of pollution today are China and India and their populations are crazy. India and large parts of China are still poor, so not just a rich mans game. The US is strangely excessive and I can only assume the people pass wind a lot. As other countries 'develop' they too produce more pollution too. And then when such countries are overpopulated where do they seek to go? To the countries that produce the most emissions.

If you want people to use less plastic the best way is to have less people. It is common sense.

I will not change my lifestyle as I don't think it is an excessive one and certainly nothing compared to a person with half a dozen children or even a few children in the West. I shall eat beef, use my AC, and drive with Springsteen on the radio. I have no guilt about it really. I compromise by seldom using any heat in the winter as I don't feel the cold. You will never see me on a business class flight (or even many flights), or performing a world tour with the latest technology to hide my lack of tunes, or driving a formula one racing car, or live in Dubai with the AC cranked up while people use inside ski slopes. It's up to everyone else what they do, but I am not terribly greedy really. Only do what I need to do in the here and now. Almost monk like in some ways really.

All thats left is either a vow of silence or lighting yourself on fire.

The protesters in London are typical privileged cunts. Hypocrites. This gives them the chance to play the victim. "We're the last generation, we've had our future stolen" (sickening).

Every era in history has been littered with complete and utter cunts who believe everything begins and ends with them.

Big fan of the Environment. More pissed off that they killed Solo off like that though. Mid 50's in the deep South tonight. Not normal.

What is the normal temp. We had a deep freeze winter I’ll tell you that, no joke up here.

We were hitting near 81 this time last year. It's been a very erratic weather pattern. Not that I'm in a rush for the devils front porch humidity we see, just wish it would make it's mind up.

Look at the population of India where the majority defacate in the streets. It is far more than some bloke in a hut. The Ganges is a horrible mess and disease rampant. It is far more than greenhouse emissions. Mass overpopulation is a real problem and is going to get much worse. It is something some people are in denial about.

Sorry I forgot Lyle's favourite - #notall.

It's more white than a Tommy Robinson shindig. I just can't stand the hypocrisy (the litter they've left behind/gadgets/travelling in cars, trains and planes), they're enjoying themselves playing victim and causing trouble, holier-than-thou usual suspects who'll eff-off back to their 99.9% white middle-class lives.

It's not the message I have a problem with just the people (they'll be at Glastonbury and fly off to Malawi/Goa for a holiday).

If it was thousands of bods living in mud huts who were genuinely suffering i'd roar them on.

Without too much (read any) data gathering I've formed the opinion that it's too late to save the planet. We keep getting warning shots that something big is going to happen and I don't think anyone would be surprised if it was lurking just around the corner.

There are too many of us. We all want feeding and it's feeding us that causes the biggest problems. Land for meat to live, land to grow food to feed the meat, land for oil (take your pick of what kind). Do a search on what causes deforestation and you'll be hit by lots of results saying logging is the 2nd biggest cause. Weird result, just tell, me whats actually the problem.

We'll be wiped off the Earth sooner rather than later and the Earth will go on to maybe repair the damage, or limp on until it's death once we are long gone.

We can and should all do our bit of course and I'd like to think we do. But it isn't Joe Bloggs forgetting to put his recycling out and then thinking fuck it, I'm burning it out the back that's causing the grief is it. Asking Joe Bloggs if he fancies trying recycled shit paper is one thing. Asking Johnny Boardroom if he fancies stopping making billions upon billions of quids is quite another.

That's what makes me laugh with this mob, the UK is apparently one of the best gaffs in the world for this environment lark. As though causing uproar here will make a jot of difference to China, Russia or India.

And now some rich, privileged Swedish teenager hopping the wag is the new messiah. Do me a favour.

[Gandalf]

I don't know. There is still cling film on everything. Why do they do that horrible multi pack stuff with each tiny item individually wrapped too? Then there is the congestion which is worse than ever. Then there is the fact that the UK has almost no trees. My wife mocks me about that when I talk about the Village greens and the open fields: "But there are no trees!" I wince conceding that she is correct and we cut them all down and never replaced them. Plus the people are fat and eat too much. One has no excuse to be fat. Very unsound.
