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?

boggerman1 · 15-11-2019 10:47pm

I'm not doubting there's some bit of climate change but ffs its getting blown out of proportion now.eat apps ye young delusional clowns.

Motivator · 15-11-2019 10:52pm

They need to get back to whatever private school they bunked off of today and learn some manners.

Specky twats.

I'm sure you're an intellectual giant yourself OP, and you've got a detailed and rigorous explanation for climate change.

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.

andekwarhola · 15-11-2019 11:00pm

Fair play to them. Seem like serious and intelligent kids. What's new about teenagers being intense and worrying about political issues except nowadays it's a bit more public. That said, the 10 year old kid wheeled on at the end looked clearly like an uncomfortable autocue job.

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

Telling us all to tighten our vegan belts

Danzy · 15-11-2019 11:02pm

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.

Rodin · 15-11-2019 11:03pm

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

Richard Hillman · 15-11-2019 11:06pm

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.

Silentcorner · 15-11-2019 11:14pm

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.

And if we don't then why should they and so on and in the end nobody is doing anything and everyone is screwed over. 36 years old and giving an excuse a child would know better than to say

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

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.

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.

You don't understand the topic if that's what you think. I'm past caring about this anyway. I think it's hopeless and we can't change our ways so were fcuked. The consequences won't fully manifest in our lifetimes hopefully.

+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.

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.

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.

physioman · 15-11-2019 11:43pm

What does a ten year old really know about the environment. Sounds like a government led drive to introduce environment taxes. Not a great believer in global warming. Would be more concerned with water quality in the long term and maintaining it's quality.

I do understand the topic. I also understand and realise that there is absolutely nothing that Ireland, or the people living here, can do to make any sort of a difference. Ireland is a grain of sand in comparison to India and China - two countries that between them have over 1/3 of the world’s population living in them and incidentally they’re two of the biggest contributors to the problems faced by the world’s population. There is nothing we can do and besides, the damage is already done.

I’m not going to alter my lifestyle and I’m certainly not going to start wearing second hand jeans or use my car less just because some clueless Irish teenagers have taken it upon themselves to start copying something that Greta Thunberg was told to say that time on tv.

tonycascarino · 15-11-2019 11:46pm

I'd rather Ireland be nuked if this is the type of young people we are raising.

We have higher base economies and yet our carbon emissions are a fraction of theirs. If we can be satisfied with 2% growth so should they.

You can see their list of recommendations, none of them advocate a general environment tax. In fact one specifically says to shift the tax burden from individuals to the corporations

There has always been climate changes throughout history going back millions of years in relation to carbon dioxide and other gasses trapping heat. In the past 50 years the amount of carbon dioxide has skyrocketed to massive levels never seen before in a tiny amount of time.

Considering deforestation and pumping billions of tons of Carbon dioxide and other gases into the air just expedites it

Oh my god, thats ridiculous. We make 0.6% difference, everyone has to pull their weight.It all counts. At what point is the cut off where the size of the country matters? Ten million? Its significant, we also cause proprtionally far more damage to the environment because of our highly consumerist society and high quality of life, so damage and population size are not linear equivalent, 5 million people in Indonesia or Africa use a fraction of the resources 5 million irish people use. We cause far more damage than the average '0.6%' of the world population would do, if 7 billion people lived the lifestyle of an average irish person the planet would literally not be able to sustain it

I think what's really going to be important though is making sure that developing countries don't exponentially increase their emissions, like China did from the early 90s until now. So we don't need to change that much, but it's needed in order to strongly encourage other countries to follow our lead and implement better energy sources than following our footsteps and having to change later when the damage has been done

RTE's website this week has been like something from the Chinese Cultural Revolution. They even have a Climate Pledge which is like something from Pol Pot's 'Year Zero' youth rallies. I have never seen RTE so actively political in my life.

In seems at times they are trying to fill the gap left by Holy Catholic Ireland with Holy Climate Change Ireland as the next state religion. It's gone beyond surreal at this point. I am half waiting for the Papal Cross in the Phoenix Park to be replaced with a wind Turbine and Greta Thunberg underneath it going 'Young people of Ireland....I love you.' and it'll be just as much bollox as the old religion.
