in all the news articles etc that we are bombarded with, every time i see or hear the words 'Green' or 'Climate', used in any context, i find myself getting really annoyed with it.

why is 'climate' used to describe every single damn time period? like, " in today's current climate, we can't let children outside." "in today's climate, we are struggling with money".

you get my point?

Some Greenies are ok. It depends on whether they wish to protect the rainforests etc. and save sharks and whatnot, or simply want to whine about Co2....

I know exactly what you mean. That and "sustainable" really pi55es me off to the maximum. But the way the media talk of "...tackling climate change..." as if we can alter it (in what way?) and that there's no further discussion required, just about takes me beyond the limit of irritation.

Yes ok agreed I am a fan of rainforest and sharks etc its just the ones that sound like neil out of the young ones who have never had a job and smell and think cars are bad and druga are good and smugly declare the end of western capitalist crimes against humanity and I cant wait till they have won then i can put my engineering skills to use and build vhicles to run on kitchen waste and raid their flower power sissy camps and shoot the bds with home made guns cos there will be no gummint and no authority and then we can burn them, an slowly out of the ashes of the green apocalypse the next civilisation will grow and drugs will be bad and cars will be good and people like tara fking palmer tomkinson will be the subject of ridicule and the knighthood will be replaced by the clarkeson medal and stupid kids who cant read will be described as prescotthick not dislexic and we will celebrate bonfire night by burning a effergy of a speed camera. April foolsday will be blair day the great wall of manchester will be build to defend us against the EU attack gangs. Allah and god will be subjects for laughter and anyone who thinks god listens will be locked up and givena ball to play with. Scottish people with one eye will be banned from being accountants and the most dangerous job in the world will be being pope. Captured civil servants will be put to work destroying and rebuilding the President sadam hussein mosk in birmingham. The DVLA site will be levelled and cars will be built there. the definition of shame will be to admit innumeracy.
