Climate protesters block roads
Discussion
I'm in London today. Rising Up or whatever they are called have blocked off Waterloo bridge(?).
Everyone is just avoiding them. They had some of their brainwashed minions handing out leaflets and stickers. They are now all over the floor. So much for helping the environment.
I feel sorry for all of the police who could have been on holiday.

Why not go and have a mass protest in China, to show commitment to the cause.
I bet Tiananmen Square would be free.
Indeed. Go go to the real source of a lot of the man made emissions.I bet Tiananmen Square would be free.
They wouldn't do that because they know they'd get their heads smashed in.
In other news. I see that a major climate change summit will be held this year in Chile. How will all of the delegates get there? Swim?

“Last generation” indeed. This is no different to the indoctrination and brainwashing we see in the spread of other extremism. He has been fed utter tosh, swallowed it hook line and sinker and seems genuinely afraid, poor lad.
More like 'lost generation'.......as in mentally lost.Good job we didn't have the likes of him around 80 years ago.
As you say, its no different to the extremist religious brainwashing we see elsewhere.

I have some sympathy with the ends, but not the means. And their demands are unachievable without a Khmer Rouge style revolution. Here's how we get to zero net carbon in 6 years;
Shut down half of our electricity generating capacity.
Turn off mains gas.
Stop the supply of petrol and diesel.
Kill all the dairy and meat herds, all the pigs, all the chickens
Stop all imports of goods, including food
Shut down all public transport bar that which could be run on what's left of the electricity generation network
Shut down all industry bar that which could be run on what's left of the electricity generation network
Close the airports
Close the sea ports
Stop all production and import of artificial fertilisers
We would be looking at an organic agrarian society, which could not be sustained at our current levels of population. We'd have millions of deaths from famine and hypothermia.
You forgot about shutting down the root cause of what the man made climate change proponents refer to as `man' made global warming. If global warming is being caused by `man' why are we still churning out more and more `man' at unprecedented levels? Shut down half of our electricity generating capacity.

that is the equivalent of worrying about a serious fire, whilst at the same time pouring thousands of gallons of more petrol on it. Total insanity.
The current population only exists on the back of fossil fuel use, for mechanized agriculture, and fishing, food production, food storage, and food distribution, and of course `man' made fertilizers
Some claim that humans are part of the natural system which of course is correct, but what is most definitely NOT natural, is the way humans have multiplied in just a relatively short space of time (the REAL hockey stick graph) to the detriment of just about every environmenmt, and other species living in them on the planet.
Of course we will get the idiots who don't like the idea of cutting back the growth of the human population to what might hopefully be a `sustainable' level, and believe we can keep on growing the population ad infinitum. Blithely ignoring of course, the effects the colossal human population has already had on the Earth.
Some even greater idiots will start bandying words like culling, or euthanasia about, when the simpler and far less painful solution will be to place some kind of limit on the number of children born. (people who have never been born, don't suffer anything, because they have never been born) Taking away the lives of those who have already been born is therefore a far more painful way of limiting the growth of the human population.
Once a person has arrived on the planet, they have every right to a decent life that the Earth can provide, The trick is heading off excess numbers of humans BEFORE they have arrived.

Well, that’s where the government is so it’s the right place to protest.
Apart from the fact that Parliament is on holiday so they don't give a rats ass. Go figure. Not exactly endearing themselves to working Londoners are they ?
s off Londoners, otherwise they would pull this st at a different time...result being that plod would be acting completely differently to how they are at the moment. Personally I just feel there is a vacuum at the top and London has been abandoned. Well there is Mr Khan of course and he has shown himself to be as useless as can be

I was actually referring to the government. I don't think I have seen any cabinet figures popping up to denounce the disruption. Apart from Mr Gove. It maybe that they have and it hasn't been reported.

If your muse wasn't half cut all the time she could wade in. Personally I just feel there is a vacuum at the top and London has been abandoned. Well there is Mr Khan of course and he has shown himself to be as useless as can be

Why do you think that they would care? It's not impacting them at the moment, so they will tut a bit but not really do anything because they think that they want the indoctrinated kiddies vote, not that they'll get it anyway, but they just want votes.

Rather like Corbyns implication that if they voted for him that he would cancel student debt, it was never going to happen but by the time he was in power it would be too late.

No need. Cutting our emissions so quickly would kill millions. that is the equivalent of worrying about a serious fire, whilst at the same time pouring thousands of gallons of more petrol on it. Total insanity.
Anyone got the registration of the Daf 7.5 tonne truck they used to block the bridge,looks too old to be compliant for ULEZ.
I bet the charge hasn’t been paid for the duration of the vehicle being in the zone and i wonder if TFL will go after the registered keeper for not paying with the same vigour as a “normal” member of public ?????????

... XR campaigns to speed up and maintain pressure upon Governments to make the necessary investment, to encourage and educate, to provide realistic means to enable the economies of the World to function without much disruption, to force adaptation to more sustainable solutions...
With respect, that's not the half of it. Reading their website and following the links they have plans for society that are rather more than just a bit of eco activism.This is just the latest incarnation of wannabe anarchists cloaked in green.
But if you wish to stand with them, don't hold back.

Well, these protests have inspired me to make one small change to my life.
I'm going to wake my Focus RS up in the morning and take it out for an hour or so with the mission being to get single digit mpg.
You could just rev it at 6000rpm at your council estate cul de sac for an hour and save on tyres?I'm going to wake my Focus RS up in the morning and take it out for an hour or so with the mission being to get single digit mpg.
