You'd expect to see her in the mosh pit at a Cannibal Corpse concert . The standards of higher education have slipped a lot, anyone can be a professor these days evidently, as long as they are on board with certain hard pressed agendas. Patricia is everything rolled into one fanatical freakshow.

That's the third or fourth time that you have suggested that I, a perfect stranger to you, am a user of class A drugs. Projection of your own issues maybe? Plenty of people post late at night on forums. Unlike you I have been too busy to post anything for several weeks.

They are being given plenty of scope by authorities to develop into one that's for sure. Only a matter of time before the more extreme end of it starts killing people. They are dehumanising everyone including themselves.

Cambridge is supposed to be the second best university in the UK after Oxford in rankings. The fact that they employed a homage to Marilyn Manson that wants humanity to perish is worrying. No offense to Marilyn Manson btw, he is sane in comparison.

Nobody has an issue with her gender. If you were a solicitor, just for example, you wouldn't go to work dressed like a clown, nobody would take you seriously. As I said, the standards in higher education are slipping.... into oblivion.

She’s a f*cking dope but she’s hardly representative of all climate change scientists. It’s a bit silly picking out one odd ball in funny clothes and then going ‘ha I told you this climate change stuff was nonsense!’ while ignoring mountains of scientific evidence. The fact she has silly make-up on doesn’t negate the fact that we’re in deep sh*t environmentally with increasingly erratic weather patterns and a massive risk that life as we know it on Earth will be threatened in a shorter time than many realise.

It was 20 degrees in Antarctica yesterday.

It doesn't matter. An old white man in a suit spouting the same 'message' would be just as disturbed and deranged as that woman in bdsm gear. The people most obsessed to an unhealthy degree about gender are the ones on the edge of their seat waiting to be offended by the very mention of it, thin skinned attention seekers with a perpetual spoiled brat mentality who find it difficult to function as adults in the real world outside collage campuses.

What has she said that's so wrong? We're hurtling towards disaster we're overpopulated and over consuming the planet to death. Drastic change needs to be made

It's a click bait headline so you made a click bait thread title. Using words like Nihilistic cult for some reason, is that due to her appearance or what?

Place would be a lot better without us by the way but of course it's a hypothetical idea. Like a world without consumerism or materialistic need, or a world without money at all.

She literally wants humanity to perish. That's extreme and deranged, her employers at Cambridge University should be asking themselves if they made the right decision.

Looks like your not the target market for this one Jimmy, definitely not for me either. Views are a bit too extreme, id prefer for people to look into more regenerative agriculture and renewable energy as I still don't think we're gone too far beyond the point of no return.

What's really ironic here is that you called her attention seeking.

Fair play to you for giving her attention, I hadn't heard of her until now.

Antarctica is a mighty big continent so that is not true for the entire landmass. If you want a clearer picture on the Antarctica peninsula for over a decade it has experienced cooling temperatures driven by natural variability and if you read the Guardian article beyond the headlines the reason is given which is a phenomenon called föhn winds which is a pleasant effect that occasionally occur in the British Isles and they are experienced elsewhere in Anatartica. If you want more technical details about a previous incident read here.

Renwick said higher temperatures in the region tended to coincide with strong northwesterly winds moving down mountain slopes – a feature of the weather patterns around Esperanza in recent days.

The media reports have nothing to do with science, as usual this is another fragment of propaganda being waved in the Climate Emergency/Climate Change/Global Warming war on the public.

I'm presuming there is a level of irony to her work. That it is intended to contribute to the conversation on a meta level. People misunderstand postmodernism all of the time. Or maybe she is full of chite. Not going to read the book to find out.

Excellent article from back in the day when real journalists still worked for the Guardian...

Science has traditionally remained always open to question, to ongoing falsification. Yet the science on climate change, we are told, is final and you deny its truth at your peril. Some green campaigners even wave placards saying "The scientists have spoken", a new secular version of "This is the word of the Lord".

In taking on the crumbling Christian churches or the last gasps of Islamic radicalism, the new atheists are attacking only the old, hollowed-out institutions of religion.

That’s not journalism - it’s an op-ed piece by an intentionally anti-science advocate. Nobody has ever claimed that ‘the science on climate change is final’. There is, however, a scientific consensus as to how we have arrived at where we are, and plenty of scientific responses to dealing with the problems that this involves. Brendan O’Neill would rather you stick your head in the sand and hope that future technologies offer a greater capital-friendly solution to the problems he can no longer deny. That’s simply kicking the can down the road.

Brendan O'Neill is an old skool journalist unhindered by the need to be ultra politically correct at all times as is the case now at the Guardian. As for being "capital friendly", wouldn't say Brendan is a capitalist considering he edited the communist parties newsletter in the UK if I remember correctly. His article is on the mark, spot on.

She’s not a climate scientist, academic, or expert. Her field is ethics. She’s proposing a notion that humans should consider that they don’t have any intrinsic ethical right to a higher place in a hierarchy of life than any other life. It might not be to everyone’s taste, but it’s an argument based on ethical considerations, not scientific ones.

I know an old pagan who recons the extreme left and social justice warriors etc are extremely dangerous.
He said he wouldn't be surprised if they end up like lemmings and jump ship.

Anyone who's going around talking about climate apocalypse and end times etc are in need of a fong up the hole.

I remember the 80's and the fear of the Russians, the oncoming Ice age, yes Iceage.
And people were afraid of statues.

By the way its the extreme North of the south Pole Antarctica that's experiencing the heatwave.

Who's taking her seriously? I don't see the mainstream movement of environmentalism adopting these ideas and theories. She's a complete fringe element and it's purely philosophical.

Sure you just get outraged anyway, and anyone with even a sniff of an environmental belief is clearly advocating for this.

He’s not a journalist. He’s a columnist. Important distinction.

He used to be a communist, but he’s done a 360 and is very much in the the libertarian free-market mode a good while now.
