Climate protesters block roads

[ape x]

Is there a thread of outrage when the countryside alliance turned up in London because they couldn't kill foxes whilst dressed like tts on horseback?

Or for Tommy's "freedom of speech" march...

Now someone’s glued themselves to a train at Canary Wharf DLR



Would it not have made more sense to glue himself to the metal body? The depot is just round the corner and i can’t imagine removing a window would take a fitter long

Excellent opportunity to punch a hippie, it's not like he can fight back or chase you

or cover him in lime green dye

Then in permanent marker “I’m a ” on his forehead

He's bound to be vegan/veggie, just stand at a safe distance and throw pork chops at him

What’s sad is that with all the effort they put into this they could have probably thought up something that would inspire people to be a bit more environmentally friendly.

These s just make me want to buy up loads of V8 engines and set them to run really really rich.

I have just come across some of these watermelons outside the Bishopsgate exit of Liverpool Street Station prostesting against 'technology'. That's right 'technology'.

And yet they seem to like to use twitter and other social media to preach about their campaign.

Probably using smartphones containing all manner of rare earth metals that small children were forced to extract (I remember Amnesty International ran a campaign about the abuses involved in cobalt mining a while ago).

Without doubt, Climate Change is the biggest challenge that the world will face this century.

The Science is now near 100% conclusive.

While I don't agree with the methods used in these protests, I am delighted to see this being discussed again.

Surely the protesters would be better off targeting specific CO2 producers/economies? Gluing yourself to the Chinese embassy for example, rather than a train?

And what are you doing about it?

When Tommy protests in London people on here cry "I don't agree with what he says but I support his right to freedom of speech.."
Yet when these people who are of equal bellendery protest it's fair game to wade in and slag them off ...hmmmmm

All protesters are s in my opinion so there... I don't simply select the ones I don't like... Unlike some...

They have glued themselves to Corbys fence now

Apple, of course.

4 of the off duty teachers protesters have glued themselves to another failed geography teacher’s front fence.

Which one?

The biggest threat is population growth all over the world, not climate change. We have had and dealt with change ever since time began but there is an arrogance that says we can change the weather, we cannot.

Listening to one of these dimwits she said she feared for her 3 kids future, well she shouldn't have had any. I fear more about war, the arrival of deadly disease like Ebola that nature has developed to curb the rampant growth of population.

They may mean well but these people are deluded that even a small proportion of what they demand can be met. As for Chris Packham spouting on the BBC, he has flown all around the world but wants us to stop!

One of these pillocks was just on Sky with Adam Bolton, who ripped him a new one.

Was funny, very sad, but very funny too.

Best laugh I've had today. You can tell it's the school hols!
As you say, funny, but my god worrying too!

What a wet-behind-the-ears idiot.

BBC reports today that these aholes are now disrupting the Tube by Superglueing themselves to trains.

So, let me get this right; they are protesting about pollution by disabling one of the largest mass-transit systems on the planet in one of the most heavily populated cities on the planet. A mass-transit system which probably saves a bazillion tonnes of C02 and other bothersome substances every few minutes.

Anyone know what these people are smoking because I think I'd like to try some?

What a bunch of fking morons!

It's largely an anti capitalist thing let's be honest.

George Monbiot: “to go straight to the heart of capitalism to overthrow it”.

I thought they were all for electric transport,why glue yourself to a train?

Surely gluing yourself to a rr sport in Chelsea would make more of a point.

Perhaps they can't run fast enough.

Because that would likely get the st kicked out of them. Same reason they don't go and protest in the Countries where cutting emmisions might actually have some effect but they are just cowards lacking the real courage of their convictions. Try this st in China and they'd be doing hard labour for 20 years.....or would get shot.

It's also convenient for them to blame the government for not doing enough despite only 43% of our electricity now coming from fossil fuels.

Not to divert to other countries but look at Trump putting tariffs on solar panels. We're doing OK.

The DLR glue enthusiast appears to have been removed from his protest location and is now, er, helping police with their enquiries.

That's because it's only the "lefty" protests that get enough support to have any effect on things.

I call bks on your assertion that it is "without doubt the biggest challenge we will face". Ignoring the fact that many don't buy the science at all, even if we assume it is 100% conclusive, I think there are greater challenges to face. Seriously, this century, and bearing in mind we are near a fifth of the way through it, do you see the "end of mankind" more likely from climate change, or a Kim Jong Ill nuke?

Mankind has adapted and evolved over millions of years to the species we are now, and we continue to evolve as a species every day. Why can man survive in the climatic conditions we see nowadays and on the planet for the last thousand years, ie from the polar regions where temps rarely exceed zero, and there are months of darkness, to tropical and arid regions etc where temps rarely fall below 40 degrees! Do you honestly think it mankind will not survive even a huge increase in global temp of say 5 degrees over 100 years? Of course they would, we both know that and that is not going to happen anyway, even according tot he most pessimistic climate change scientists.

So whilst it may be something mankind may or may not have to adapt to, adapt to it they most certainly will, ….....easily. Yes, some communities will change, populated areas may disappear, people will move and live in other places...…..but that has been happening for the last thousand years, never mind the last 80, so what's "new"..? Answer, nothing, really.

Now, if you want to look at what will potentially kill off either the whole of mankind / species or at least large swathes of it, there's far larger and more immediate risks IMHO. Nukes, chemical weapons, super viruses, flu pandemic...…..far more risky than climate change.

Entirely sensible and pragmatic. I disagree that there is much risk to mankind from the Fat Korean though. He doesn't have an arsenal and any use by him in anger would simply result in the utter destruction of his country. Mankind will survive him and his ilk easily.

As you say, hitherto unknown or not yet extant diseases are a far bigger potential threat than global warming. Spanish Flu of 1919 anyone? Humanity spent the previous four years slaughtering each other on an industrial scale, I mean it probably wasn't physically possible to kill people at a faster rate with the technology then available, yet the Spanish flu killed at least twice as many in less than half the time. Given how easy we move around today we may well be wiped out by the next one.
