The section itself was stocked to bursting point with cheap plastic tat all shipped in from China I'd guess. It had everything you could ever want to decorate your house or garden with for the festive period. And the shoppers were buying it hand over fist. As I was standing watching them all, I couldn't help but think how little the vast majority of people care for what the likes of Greta and her supporters are saying. Simply no interest. They ain't changing their ways for anyone. You'll never be able to stop the rampant wave of consumerism in the West, unless it is taxed in some draconian way.

SafeSurfer wrote: » You are giving “kudos” to a report about fires in Australia, attributed to “climate change” when arson has been identified as the cause. A report which shows stranded, hungry polar bears as a result of “climate change” when polar bear numbers are increasing and a dry Victoria Falls as a result of “climate change” when records show similarly low flows at the falls before climate change was even a theory. Kudos to RTE indeed. A bankrupt organization looking for the next big thing.
