"Green" policies are destroying this country

The reality were you have to defend the indefensible, instead of proclaiming "shyte" over and over.

We are subsidising the polluters of the world. It's very simple to see and understand.

Note how there is very, very little in the way of positive incentivisation. It's always about punitive tax, or encouragement to spend money, no matter what you do.

I'm sure they collect all that money and send it off to santa clause at Christmas so that he'll magically reduce pollution.

Meanwhile, china is laughing all the way to the bank and polluting like it's going out of fashion.

The country is turning into a place where a huge percentage of a person's income will be swallowed by accomodation and utility bills leaving very little for people to spend on themselves or their children, such a country will have a lot of anger for those responsible,

That's the problem when you are being told by politicians and so-called scientists with golden pensions what you should do.

Easy for them as they won't have to worry about the costs in the future, they will be well looked after.

I don't be so sure on that, lot of pent up anger out there

Think you'll find that the pricks are the Greenwashers trying to exploit people, climate and weather constantly change, taking an extra five grand a year off everyone and spending it in general taxation isn't going to change that,

Climate has changed for millions of years and there is not one thing you or I can do about it. Get over yourself,

Are you trying to be the new Greta, your post sounds like something she or her handlers would write.

And you sound like you're just choosing to believe what you want so you can continue to suit yourself. Get over yourself and stop being so selfish, you live in a society. The "not one thing you or I can do about it" is not in line with the science, it's just horseshit people say to suit their own agenda.

And that's why your opinion is worthless versus the opinions of people with relevant qualifications who didn't stop learning when they left school.

And yet the vast majority of scientists are in agreement. Is your exes opinion worth more than scientific consensus? There are a few doctors who believe vaccines are dangerous. One of them, who was popular with the Whitehouse believed STDs were caused by sex with demons. Some people claim to believe bullshit, it's more a question of what their agenda is.

It's all a charade really.

It's the government's solution to everything: Tax it. For some people, being hit in the pocket makes them resentful and belligerent. I'm not sure there's much else that can be done other than outright bans and making some behaviours illegal, and that would only piss these people off more.

The vast majority of scientists believed, until quite recently, that ulcers were caused by excess stomach acid. It only took one to prove the majority wrong. An appeal to concensus of opinion in science indicates you dont know how things are supposed to work. The climate twerps have killed off science, which now shows traits of being a religion, with, people like you assuming and stating that all non adherents to the orthodoxy can only be idiots, even when they teach at a university and advise phd students, and clearly aren't, by all objective and accepted criteria.

Well china is a prime example of bad implementation.

Everyone knows they are an environmental disaster, the worst in the world. So when governments refuse to do the hard thing in dismantling them, and instead focus on taxing other people who'll have no effect on anything...that's how you piss people off, big time.

Globalisation is THE environmental problem. It just so happens to be the root cause of a thousand other problems too, from housing to employment.

To tackle globalisation, in this case china, it means giving people a target. A real tangible target, to stop buying their cheaply made crap, to incentivise industry back into local country's, fixing employment, logistic and environmental and sustainability issues in one fell swoop.

If the likes of these climate conventions had a targeted message and realistic outcome, that didn't pussyfoot the real issues, respect would go up. Participation would go up.

Dismantling globalisation, taking out it's poster child china, would solve a great many things.

I left school a long time ago and there are not too many days that I don't learn something new, no university back in my day unless your parents had a big farm or you were the local publican or shopkeeper and just sent off for show. Most of the smartest and successful people I know never went to university either.

I grew up in a recession, emigrated in another, went through another and returned a few years before another and had to change careers a few times all the way, unlike these so-called scientists that never done a days work in their lives only in the pockets of whoever paid their wages.

So I think I'm around long enough to call out this S*it.
