Once again Beanz compulsively drops my name in a random thread. He is addicted to outrage.
When it comes to hurricanes, why should I do anything to change? What am I going yo do to stop a hurricane? It is virtue signalling. If people want to have 3 grandchildren and live in energy hungry countries that is their decision, but I do far more for the environment by the decisions that I have already made and so I don't feel any real responsibility about this hurricane. Do I not recycle? Do I not do plenty of walking? What am I meant to do? Nothing really, so I do as I will.
I live within my means. I know someone who commutes to work by car 4 hours a day. People are doing all kinds of mad stuff. I am not to blame for anything and live simply, yet that now is apparently problematic. I am not jet setting everywhere like the super rich.
Yes, overpopulation is serious and it is not me adding to the plastic wastage or carbon footprint inordinately. Why not have a go at Al who flies all over the place? Or the companies that wrap everything in plastic? Or anyone who ever buys a chocolate Easter Egg?
You are damned if you stay in and read up on a topic and you are damned if you go for a meal. Thus when people paint someone as mental, you have to conclude that they are a bit mental.
