Greta Thunberg, what’s the fuss?

Why does everyone seem to want to be in her gang at the moment? It’s embarassing watching MPs and celebrities queuing up to be photographed with her.

It’s very “ cult “ like.

I don’t get the fuss but then I’m a middle aged man who drives a diesel car and regular uses the plane to travel.

So the electric cars we're all gleefully piling (yes, I know) into now are already building up a potential energy-hungry disposal/recycle problem - never mind any "technology will improve" hopes (for that is all they are).

It's NOT the technology that will provide the solution - it's the PEOPLE; there are (already) too fucking many of them - even to mine all the minerals us cleverer people need just to get by.

“Over the next 30 years 7.5 billion of us, we will consume more minerals than the last 70,000 years or the past 500 generations, which is more than all of the 108 billion humans who have ever walked the Earth.”

Strictly speaking, we, like nature, are merely rearranging molecules. We arent consuming them.

This isnt to say the rearrangement might cause all kinds of short term damage but the World is unrecognisable from a short time ago so we’ve done a lot of rearranging in a short time.

That said. I went up the volcano on Tenerife a couple of weeks back and marvelled at the energy that must have been used to create this one vast mountain from the bowels of the Earth.

I think we over estimate ourselves.

Joe Biden and Justin Mingeface from Canada used a 75 (huge, gas-guzzling) car cavalcade to drive from the French sap's house to the Canadian parliament yesterday in order to give a speech on the climate emergency.

Yes there are billionaires and you are doing absolutely nothing you could do to make sure there is legislation forcing them to help us get through this; you've run out of excuses Don and you know you are the one being played here.

Charlie boy has how many houses??
Flys around on a private jet.
How many staff.
He can go fuck himself the big eared cunt.
Until these billionaires start practicing what they preach I’ll take it as more of the same bullshit propaganda.

Do you know it will shock you to discover that scientists just basically go to school, Edward?

Did the Climate Scientists go to the same school as the COVID Scientists?

Re: Greta Thunberg, what’s the fuss?

I remember about 20 years ago Charlie boy saying something like we had 7 years to save the planet

I remember being told that diesels were better for the environment, even though I could tell with my own eyes this was bollocks

I don’t believe anything anyone tells me any more

That planet, wicket thing doesn’t make any sense though?

Might as well say if the planet is a turnip, the scarecrow has gone missing…

As a key slogan I don’t think it will catch on.

Actually Don, the evil lizards running the insurance sector, and especially the reinsurance of large-project financing, have deemed carbon emissions are a danger to their shareholders’ interests, so will not insure new projects unless they are carbon neutral. This may not apply to India and China but it applies to us whether you like it or not. And I for one do like it.

From a few pages back:

This from a miner called John Lee Pettimore. There’s a thread on Twitter that can be found here:
https://twitter.com/JohnLeePettim13/status/1614178348694904837?s=20

Few tweets for our green energy worshippers:


Over the next 30 years 7.5 billion of us, we will consume more minerals than the last 70,000 years or the past 500 generations, which is more than all of the 108 billion humans who have ever walked the Earth.

Mining requires the extraction of solid ores, often after removing vast amounts of overlying rock. Then the ore must be processed, creating an enormous quantity of waste – about 100 billion tonnes a year, more than any other human-made waste stream.

Green’ technologies require the use of rare minerals whose mining is anything but clean. Heavy metal discharges, acid rain, and contaminated water sources — it borders on being an environmental disaster. Put simply, clean energy is a dirty affair.

Wind turbines guzzle more raw materials than previous technologies: ‘For an equivalent installed capacity, solar and wind facilities require up to 15 times more concrete, 90 times more aluminum, and 50 times more iron, copper, and glass than fossil fuels or nuclear energy.

Think of China. One-fifth of China’s arable land is polluted from mining and industry. Mining the materials needed for renewable energy potentially affects 50 million square kilometers, 37% of Earth’s land (minus Antarctica). Now imagine that number 10 fold.

Weren’t there supposed to have been an ice age by now.

Weren’t the sea levels supposed to have risen 10ft by 2021.

You wouldn’t be able to get a mortgage in London if any of this was anywhere near true.

It started off as a new ice age, then it was global warming and as that has not happened they’re now calling it climate change.

Massive scam.

‘fraid the assertion the wicket is as it’s supposed to be is exactly the political aspect of the groundsman being grossly irresponsible.

Re: Greta Thunberg, what’s the fuss?

See, this is where all this ‘green thinking’ goes wrong…

WHU(Exeter) 6:11 Sat Mar 25
Re: Greta Thunberg, what’s the fuss?

What if the wicket was just standing where it was meant to be, complete with bails?

Wouldn’t matter where the grounds man was then, he could be in a cafe near the ground, eating a bacon sarnie, nobody would notice any difference?
