Re: Greta Thunberg ... again
HiSome cannot accept Scientific Reality.
We are having an effect on the Planet.
Air Pollution is a direct result of Humans.
We will never stop huge changes in the World Weather, that is utter stupidity.
We are due another Ice Age.
What we can do is stop making things worse.

WE must make many changes to save the world.

China, India, America, Germany and many others pollute far more than we do. Why is it all our fault?
In addition to that, there has always been climate change which is beyond human control. Whose fault was the Ice Age? Whose fault was the recession of the ice and global warming all those many centuries ago?
No. Greta, Extinction Rebellion and all the others cut no ice with me. Let them complain 'til they're blue in the face.
Let's have more electric cars and find ourselves with regular power cuts to compensate for the additional use of electricity!

Re: Greta Thunberg ... again
The cost is enough to see that this is now political one-upmanship.If we are to take saving the planet seriously, this will have to be curtailed.

Re: Greta Thunberg ... again
I've got to page 4 but I can't stand anymore of this rubbish ! Never thought I'd be agreeing with The Artful Todger but I am and only Keezoy seems able to confront our generations failures as I do. Probably because most of you will be dead in the next 30 you don't have to worry.

Yet China is already on track to meet its emission targets a decade early.

This is where they should be targeting their efforts otherwise we in the UK are just wasting our time.
Well said.What a shame that so many people on their soapboxes can't see it.
