So the police can pool resources for these protesters and Sadiq can pool extra police security for mosques after the New Zealand terror attack but when it comes to knife crime - "Government cuts". Hmmm.

Ok since you have analysed it, how many scientists have been sacked for their views on AGW? How many are lying about their views just to avoid being sacked?
Ever heard of NDA's - all the rage in academic circles these days allegedly.
That’s great, you’ve found something to confirm your bias without actually having to have any facts at all.
Pot, meet kettle.

Although not directed at myself, it could be argued that this movement is a direct consequence of the mass hysteria which is being whipped up by certain activists. How good this is for the mental well being of those so afflicted, when presented with dire consequences over which, by themself, can have effectively no control over whatsoever, remains to be seen.

It could be seen as irresponsible to stir up such emotion.

It still remains to be seen whether the policies as proposed can be implemented without significant detrimental changes in lifestyle and whether they will prove effective in achieving their aims - which primarily is to make the planet colder but without the resilience that fossil fuels have provided historically.

You’ve said that loads of scientists were being sacked for their views on AGW but then when asked how many, you said you can’t answer because it’s a secret and they’ve been hushed up. hehe

Scientists have definitely discovered aliens. No I can’t prove it because the universities have silenced them with NDAs

My, what a vivid imagination you have! Clearly wasted in your current vocation.

Ever thought of writing fairy tales - Biggles may be right up your flight path - that or a BBC science journo.

Agree with that. The news coverage of this protest and the previous school age action repeats the message of impending doom, the imminent demise of Mother Earth and even the prospect of fewer augmented reality TV programmes (not really, that last one is fake).

The weekly focus on eco-geddon must alarm some vulnerable people, or at least confuse them? Here in the damp and foggy UK we have had successive years of superb horticultural growth, some record harvests, little or no snow, and wonderful warm sunny days. And yet no summer drought to match 1976, much of the land looks lush and vibrant even into October.

Doesn't feel like the end of days. Confusing.

They’re a load of tts.
I saw on the news that a French lady had come over to join in the protests - she was prepared to be arrested because she 'feared her daughter would not be able to die of old age'. Now I'm very much a moderate on AGW but I must say I found this totally baffling - the trend according to satellite data is about 0.2 degrees per decade iirc so what is it that she thinks will kill her daughter confused

The whole catastrophe/extinction agenda leaves me cold (pun intended, sorry) - can we not be treated like grown ups and have sensible discussions about what can reasonably be done to mitigate risks? Ugh rolleyes

That ship has sailed. Climate science has backed the catastrophe story, the press has distributed it, the believers now believe that nothing other than eco-socialism will save us now.

They were interviewed by Adam Bolton on sky, he was saying their suggestions were totally over the top and just causing hassle to people and turning the public away from their cause.

What many of these protesters are saying is far beyond the general scientific predictions for AGW.

These nutjobs protesting in London are the opposite side of the debate and just as extreme in their views as the climate cult here. It’s just that they’re willing to do something about it.

rofl Because telling people there isn't a major problem and that the catastrophe only exists in models (which need to be taken with a pinch of salt) and in RCP 8.5 is an "extreme" view......

Forgot Stovey whether you fly out of Heathrow? If so it looks like they coming your way.

When you’re convinced of a mass global lefty deception involving every government and notable scientific institution on the planet and scientists making stuff up for wealth redistribution and funding then yes, that’s an extreme view. As I said it’s simply the opposite side of the debate to the idiots on the TV saying the human race won’t survive a generation or we need to all give up meat and have zero emissions by next Wednesday.

Climate change: Sir David Attenborough warns of 'catastrophe'

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-479...

Sir David Attenborough has issued his strongest statement yet on the threat posed to the world by climate change.
In the BBC programme Climate Change - The Facts, the veteran broadcaster outlines the scale of the crisis facing the planet.....continues

Complete hysterical claptrap. No proof whatever that a 1degree temp rise will be a problem at all. It's already done that apparently in the last 100yrs anyway. Did anyone notice anything? The only fact about that programme is its bks.

Totally agree, the problem appears to be the connections to the environmental movement ,who see it as a vehicle to promote their green agenda, no cars no plastics no nothing. hehe

I see it may be selective with the truth, this morning they showed a clip about sea level rise in Louisiana,
https://www.nola.com/environment/2017/06/sinking_f...
Louisiana's coastal area is sinking fast.
I liked the way the two one climate scientists on the news this morning side stepped the difficulty question regarding the biggest emitters of CO2

believe the scientists they say. yet the scientist on the bbc right now knows less about coral than i do. she mentioned satellites , she maybe wants to have a look at the images and understand the phrase global greening. disappearing forests she says,how many trees did they count this week and what was the error margin this time,millions, billions or trillions ? her neck does look like a scary global warming image though, it just got redder and redder throughout the interview. a bit gammony if you ask me.

The IPCC are preparing a press release, as we speak, to refute his most alarmist claims.

Only joking.

if that is a reference to my postabove, no i am not an expert on coral, but i am aware of the history of its existence on the planet and the temperature swings it has endured throughout that history.

as for attenborough he is a script reader on the program and the program is entertainment. i haven't watched it and won't. it will be full of the same if's,but's and maybe's people have heard many times over.as i don't see many outside of the eco loon brigade giving a flying fk i don't see them giving up their current lifestyles because some old bloke on the telly thinks they should. i wonder what his carbon footprint over his lifetime is ? many multiples of most i would imagine,just another hypocrite in a long list of them.
