Climate Morons on The Late Late Show

If there is any validity to the claims being made by scientists and climate change activists, there are going to be parts of the world that will become uninhabitable due to drought and flooding. The people who live there would migrate to areas of the world that are less affected.

Watch then, the same people who are saying that there's no problem now, lose their shit and start complaining about why we "did nothing" to avert climate change when we had the chance, because millions of "undesirables" will suddenly be on their doorstep.

I doubt many will be migrating here. According to RTE Dublin, Cork, Limerick and Galway will be underwater.

Why the hell are SUVs even allowed in cities? We need to get tough on this kind of thing and stop letting advertising and big business rule the roost.

Reminds me of discussion I had with a psychologist one time. She made the point of a Dublin resident saving up to buy a car that can reach 60ml/hr in 40 secs - only very expensive cars can achieve that- and going to work every morning doing an average of ,say, 25mi/hr - traffic lights and all that .
The words ‘ego and status’ comes to mind. Also ‘a must have’ , ‘look at me’ etc, etc etc come to mind

Ireland represents 0.06% of the worlds population. What we do in this country has absolutely no impact on the world’s climate. At 36 years of age, I really don’t need to be lectured by some jumped up privately schooled toadface on a Friday evening telling me to buy second hand jeans in order to save the planet.

Ireland has the 37th highest emissions per capita on the planet. One quarter of the world's population doesn't even have electricity. So your average Irish person in their mid 30s who has had access to electricity since the day they were born will have a carbon footprint many many times greater than your average citizen in Myanmar and Bangladesh those third world countries on the front line of sea levels rising. If you drive a car in Ireland you are contributing more to climate change than your average third world citizen, if you travel by ferry or by plane, the same. Have you ever bought fruit out of season ? because it has to be transported by container ships on the high seas from places as far flung as south America and south Africa... again this has an enormous carbon footprint. Most electronics and clothes are made in the far east again they have to be shipped from there to Ireland which has a huge carbon footprint. So while the total population of Ireland is tiny the average carbon footprint of every Irish person is disproportionately huge in comparison to your average Indonesian.

If we take your stance we are basically saying screw those less fortunate than us who contributed next to nothing per individual to the climate crisis. Remember Irish electrification began in 1946 and was rolled out gradually after this point with most of the country being electrified by the 60s, bear this in mind when you remember 1.5 billion people still have no electricity. That isn't conjecture or the opinion of privately educated students, its a fact however unpalatable it say seem.

No you haven't got it straight at all.

Getting warmer comes potentially with a high price, like the sea rising 1 metre.

The scale of works required to solve this problem would be enormous.

Given that a rise would happen gradually over centuries, would we have centuries to complete any required works, in an ever more pleasant climate?

Anyway if the earth is warmer isn't a lot of water going to evaporate from the sea? If it is warm enough to melt ice down into the sea it would surely be warm enough to evaporate more seawater into clouds, these clouds blocking the sun's heat from reaching earth in the first place and counteracting the much-feared greenhouse effect?

This reads like something out of Viz.
I really hope you are taking the piss.

It's all a scam lads. David Icke said so.

Well worth a watch. Interestingly, a lot of Irish, Finnish and Japanese scientists believe we are having absolutely zero impact on climate change.

It amazes me how so many people are actually proud of displaying their utter ignorance. But then maybe that is the hallmark of ignorance.

Yep an alt right grifter alright.

That fake American accent grates.

He's a bit of a Pr1ck. His accent is awful.
He recently changed from atheist to Catholic. I'd guess its for money and to impress his US subscribers. He is mad for the money and that's all he wants.
He talks a lot about taxpayers. I wonder does he pay any himself when he gets a few quid from patreon?
And he also talks about the family unit and children. But no doubt, is single.
A bluffer of the highest order.
Says anything for money!!!

Well of course he'd want to frustrate efforts to combat climate change, the "Mad Max" universe isn't exactly an egalitarian utopia.

A neighbour of mine back in the 80s used to own a tyre fitting place and heated his house by burning tyres in a big furnace. You could smell it half a mile away.

Recycling;)
