Climate Morons on The Late Late Show

Are these people actually serious with this climate carry on? Why do they all look and sound the same? Specky twats with terrible names and even worse fake accents.

When will this end?

They already are albeit in small ways in the environment at least as far as the average person goes, but I agree with you M, we can;t change our ways, at least not in the long term, we tend to think in the here and now and that seems to be increasing with the fast pace of change most of us live in today. The idea of changing now for something that might happen in five years time is outside most people's wheelhouse, the idea of a century or two from now is off the radar entirely.

I'm all for adopting more sustainable modes of living, EV's, renewables, reusables, etc. But I'm not prepared to get taken advantage of by bigger, more powerful countries churning out CO2 emissions like there's no tomorrow while we eat insects and tax ourselves to oblivion.

Notice how the Paris accords allow "developing countries", (like China for example) to have softer emissions targets in order to allow these countries to continue growing at 6% GDP per annum, while Europe struggles to get above 2% growth with fewer emissions. It's a raw deal for us who committed the crime of being top dogs.

Because we already have much higher base economies and standard of living than the developing countries. Why would they limit themselves at all if we don't? It's a compromise to achieve something, and one which we are still well placed to work with thanks to our advanced economies. Indian emissions need to controlled soon before they explode like the Chinese did 30 years ago and without pressure and compromise that won't happen.

I don't support turning ourselves into a basketcase while letting China and India emit without consequence, but I haven't seen anything proposed that will lead to that either.

+1 D, whatever about temps I have noticed a huge change in insect life in my lifetime. Maybe more than most as I grew up fly fishing with my dad(yep he once caught a ten pound bluebottle etc

). The species of flies on rivers and their environs has gotten much narrower and fewer in number. There are artificial flies I used as a kid, even twenty years ago that are only for decoration now. The naturals are either gone entirely or so small in number the trout don't focus on them the way they used to. Even oddball indicators like of all things cowpats in the fields. When I was younger, again even twenty years ago, you'd have a swarm of flies on them that would shoot up into the air as you walked by one. Not any more in the areas I fish anyway. They also don't rot into the earth nearly so quickly either, they just dry out.

Another thing I've noticed, as have mates around my age, are the lack of dead flies splattered on the front of our cars. When we were kids the front of a car that had gone on a summer run "down the country" would be a holocaust of flying insects. Ditto for windscreens. These days? Not nearly so much. Now one mate suggested cars are far more aerodynamic these days, which is true, but another friend made the point that he drives vans and they're about as aerodynamic as a housebrick and the front of his company's vans are pretty free of splatted insects.

If the insects and all those pollinators like bees and the like die off, even go to much lower levels, the human race is utterly fucked.

Jesus, you wouldn't want that bunch reproducing, there's enough of them as it is. Plus them having kids would only increase their carbon footprint, they should be sterilised in advance of any riding.

When the green socialists get their way and Ireland is a complete basketcase, do you honesty think China, India, Nigeria, USA etc are going to be cutting their omissions the way we are? They will and their bollox.

We could always emigrate to these countries in large numbers, claim asylum, create a no-go area and sponge the system

I've an open mind when it comes to the causes of climate change...but in this era of hysteria, it is difficult to discern fact from fiction...rolling out kids who up to a few years ago believed in Santa Claus doesn't really help anyone.

No harm in making a few adjustments to how we live our lives, but I can't but think we are being shaken down.

Richard Hillman

Basically, the plan is to turn Ireland into a full on socialist country and they are indoctring the youth to get them onside.

When socialism kicks in people usually end up complaining that there is no fresh meat (push for veganism), no savoury foods (Sugar tax), no free speech (hate speech laws) nobody allowed to leave the country and fuel shortages (carbon tax). So they're getting in the usual downsides for socialism and telling you it's for your our own good.

When the green socialists get their way and Ireland is a complete basketcase, do you honesty think China, India, Nigeria, USA etc are going to be cutting their omissions the way we are? They will and their bollox.

Climate change has become caught up with pollution and sustainability in one big juggernaut.
Quite different things really

Danzy

Danger that climate action will become a cause of the day for rich activists.

Personally I agree with the science, as Some one who notes plants, birds insects I see, there is a big change.

That is just personal, scientifically it's settled .

Righteous indignation though is an awful way to sell change though.

That said, all of them will probably be in FF or FG in 15 years time
