Maybe I missed it, but where did Lewis tell you what you should or shouldn’t do?

here:



Essentially, anyone not doing what he does gives no fk about our planet. Right...

As a kicker - it's because we don't care. I care, I just don't agree with his view of the cause and effect. That doesn't mean I need to be told I don't care.

He hasn’t told anyone what they shouldn’t or shouldn’t do has he though....people can read or interpret it as they like,

I do agree with your last statement though

The quote I read was in the BBC. He said something along the lines of "Everyone should go vegan to save the planet"

I'm about as likely to go vegan as I am to cut my tackle off and call myself Paula.

Right so he’s not told you what you should or shouldn’t do, he’s just presenting an opinion....

Anyway I’m done with going back and forth with this. People are never going to agree

That's not true, he's presented his opinion AND classified anyone who doesn't agree with it as a person that doesn't care and doesn't give a damn about their own planet.

If I gave you my opinion on how you could improve your house and you politely disagreed, I think you'd be pretty miffed if I walked off saying - "well you obviously don't care, which is why the house is a st hole"...?

And you haven’t?
It’s almost as if it doesn’t matter what he says really.
I’m lucky I suppose. I don’t ‘follow’ him on anything so I’ve got a get-out.

Similar to some of the messages Michael Jackson used to push

He didn’t tell you what you should or shouldn’t do did he? He just expressed an opinion

Talking of opinions were not going to agree so I’m out

This is part 1 of his thoughts (which a lot of people seemed to have missed), which he deleted soon after posting.

Well he should have deleted the rest of it because he's talking utter crap.

We'll kill each other off before the planet does.

Global warming is definitely caused by the sun. How much that impacts us is almost certainly related to CO2, water vapour and other gases in the atmosphere.
Isn't the whole point of greenhouse gas that it causes more temperature than the sun would otherwise impart? You know, like being in a greenhouse is warmer than being outside. That's not due to the sun being hotter when you're in the greenhouse.

CO2 etc doesn't change how much global warming affects us, it changes the amount of global warming, which affects us. I thought that was generally accepted by scientists worldwide as fact - the significance of that over natural cooling / heating i can accept might be up for debate.

FWIW sometimes i do feel a bit helpless when you see some of the things happening in the world. So i think using his reach and platform to encourage people to think about things is no bad thing.

Oh please!

Hard to take someone seriously bemoaning our lack of care for the planet and CO2 emissions, whilst simultaneously burning fossil fuels racing round in circles, as part of a massive entourage of people travelling round the world in (private) planes, trucks and ships.

Don’t get me wrong, I love F1, and the carbon footprint is minuscule compared to the overall global emissions issue, but people in glass houses...

I am not sure why this precludes him from sharing his views if he believes them . Many doctors smoke or are overweight they still tell others of the dangers. He has a platform infinitely more influential than any doctor. If he's right then he can only help.

If you gave me that opinion; I wouldn’t give two sts... in other words; I wouldn’t be ‘triggered’. I’d just get on with my day and forget our encounter ever happened.

Half of PH, on the other hand, can’t avoid getting into a right tizzy, over a celeb haircut, garment or opinion.

Very sad when you think about it.

hehe
