Paris is not France, Yellow jackets are there but also there are the "activists".
The Yellow vest are strongly supported by many many local communities. Macron will try to make this about the violence in Paris, that is only a 10th of his problems, Marcon will fall, it is not just his Mum who will spank him at the end of this...

If you try to overthrow a democratically elected president then you probably don't belong in a democracy.
The Europeian elete have no clue what will happen next and are shiiting themselves as their plans for us start to crumble, the more they ride rough over us all the more they pust the populations to the more extreme parties. They just cannot see it or let go of their self righteous smug "I know what is best for you so shut up" and just take what we think/.do what we say or you are a radical or a racist.

Unless, of course, he changes tack. People in power do anything to stay in power.

You are one hundred and ninety-nine per-cent correct. Most people, including those not on the breadline, are more concerned about immediate matters, work, family and 'their' lives, not the planet which is not going to disappear - there's too much f money to be made for it to!
Attenborough said stupidly, 'the collapse of civilisation and the natural world IS ON THE HORIZON.'
Really? I watched an Airbus A400M Atlas this morning. This huge aircraft was just a tiny blob ...on the horizon.
Under one minute later it was passing over the roof of my house (low too!).
Attenborough scares me.
Not with his forecasts though, they're about as predictable as the weather forecast next Tues given by the Met Office today.
I watched Question Time on the beeb the other night and the audience discussed so-called climate change. A 16 yr old girl (she said so) in the audience participated and looked, was, is absolutely traumatised by 'climate change', she really thinks the 'end is nigh'. Poor lass.
Funny how the people preaching about the environment are the people who, if we follow their logic, have caused the most damage. Wonder how much pollution Attenborough has caused over the years with all of his travel.Attenborough said stupidly, 'the collapse of civilisation and the natural world IS ON THE HORIZON.'

Lefty, conspiring BBC avoid the disorder!
Although they've not attributed it to Macron perpetuating 'false' climate change theories, so they're not off the hook. Instead they've attributed it to being multi-faceted as the evidence indicates.
Try BBC News 24...Although they've not attributed it to Macron perpetuating 'false' climate change theories, so they're not off the hook. Instead they've attributed it to being multi-faceted as the evidence indicates.
The chaps at bbc.co.uk obviously haven't got the conspiracy memo and have inadvertently put it at the top!

yep, sanctimonious virtue signaling hypocritical tossers the lot of them. too dumb to realise they are being used as pawns in the push for global governance.dandarez said:

When i was 16 years old, wet behind the ears, the big story was we were heading into an Ice Age and what worried us was being melted by a Soviet ICBM.Not with his forecasts though, they're about as predictable as the weather forecast next Tues given by the Met Office today.

There will always be a bogyman story for the youth of the time.

I remember the threat of acid rain being preached to us at school. That and peak oil.There will always be a bogyman story for the youth of the time.
Was listening to R4 the other day and a guest was talking about how average temperatures could rise by another 1.5 degrees celsius by the year 2030 resulting in a global catastrophe.
She then went on to say that temperatures that high had not been recorded since around 16,000 years ago - something they had discovered from analysis of ice cores at the poles.
Clearly then, temperatures have been higher before with no influence from humans and further fluctuations will happen over and over again in the future.
I do believe however that despite natural cycles, we are exacerbating and/or accelerating these changes in the climate nowadays.
Humans (as a whole) are total scumbags, in the last 100 years, we have cut down more forests than ever before, burnt oil, killed off around half the species of animals known to science with scores more on the danger list. Manufacture plastic on a ridiculous scale and pollute the world with our waste.
An extinction event which wipes out 95% of the global population (and I include myself in that) might not be a bad thing in the long run.

I don't think we need 95%. Stop healthcare globally and the population will naturally reduce. She then went on to say that temperatures that high had not been recorded since around 16,000 years ago - something they had discovered from analysis of ice cores at the poles.

During the 20th century alone, the world population went from around 1 billion to 6 billion, the largest growth happening from the 70's and 80's onwards. We are now nearing 8 billion but still live on the same planet as we did 100 years ago.
Not only is that extrapolation of population increase unsustainable, but we seem to be doing our best (as a species) to wipe out all natural resources, flora and fauna as we go along. We managed to get rid of the last Northern White Rhino this year, an animal which has been happily existing for thousands and thousands of years, one of the nearest things we had to a living dinosaur but humans have managed to eradicate it for no good reason in a couple of our generations.
I stand by my original point - f
k humanity, we have become a scourge on the earth and deserve to be wiped out. OzzyR1 said:

k all about what I am doing and why I have periods of "waiting" before I can complete the next part of the work ?But, thank you for your concern

Irony meter off the scale.If you try to overthrow a democratically elected president then you probably don't belong in a democracy.
You mean, like trying to ignore the referendum and stop Brexit as you have advocated on many other threads?
any mention of the yellow vest protests in holland and outside the eu parliament yet ? https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/europe/hundre...

I will start to pay attention when the next climate conference is done entirely by video conference rather that a load of functionaries flying around the world. Until then, it is all a bit “do as I say” rather than leading by example.
