Although some good has come of the extremism. More people are environmentally aware and concerned about waste/recycling which is a positive.

Hilariously hypocritical. The cover shows a couple looking like modern-day eco-puritans, yet it also advertises a holiday completion, a family holiday guide, an article about swapping a normal life for living in a trailer in California (presumably you travel by pedalo), and a guide to the 8 best cosy baby carriers to buy - all contained in a magazine which will have been printed and transported using fossil fuels.
The website is even better, with someone asking for advice on eco Astro Turf (I have that - it's called a lawn).
There's a forum too.The website is even better, with someone asking for advice on eco Astro Turf (I have that - it's called a lawn).

If I were the artists who draw for Viz Comic, I'd sue them for breach of copyright. That just reminds me of the characters "The Modern Parents" - Malcolm and Cressida Wright-Pratt.
If I ever saw that magazine in a newsagents, I'd be tempted to replace it on the top shelf. Like I do with the Canon camera and cycling magazines.

Just Canon or do you do the same for Nikon users?If I ever saw that magazine in a newsagents, I'd be tempted to replace it on the top shelf. Like I do with the Canon camera and cycling magazines.

Word salad in action.Apropos of all this stupidity, I was just looking at Google satellite for the factory of a Chinese component supplier. I visited them only 3 years back, bu was just refreshing my memory as to where exactly, they were located and where I stayed.
The roads that have been built in the interim are staggering. All this hairshirt climate bullst and NIMBYISM will relegate the West to second tier status if we are not careful.
That is not to say i think nothing should be done, but we need to be extraordinarily careful that we do not piss comparative developmental advantage down the drain of sanctimony.

If you're -easily- getting away with putting undesirables in concentration camps, how difficult can it be to ram through infrastructure?The roads that have been built in the interim are staggering. All this hairshirt climate bulls

What are they going to do about it, complain? Plenty more space in the camps. If they get full, you can always build more.
I'd rather stagnate forever than live in China.

This, I think, is a very pertinent point. A recent dinner party conversation (amongst middle aged, middle class folk) favoured scrapping HS2, closing fossil fuelled power stations, building no new roads and making flying prohibitively expensive. All to save the planet, of course. And yet doing stuff like this would cripple our economy I'd have thought.Greenish types that I know are very keen on slowing or halting development, but seem oblivious to the economic consequences.

There is a middle ground, not encumbered by climate-NIMBY agenda, that the UK needs to step to PDQ.What are they going to do about it, complain? Plenty more space in the camps. If they get full, you can always build more.
