    .
    I do love Julia, She eats bullshitters for breakfast.

    Don't panic about climate change, the end isn't nigh'

    REMEMBER those men who used to wander the streets with placards proclaiming “The End Is Nigh” in big black letters, shouting about how the world is about to be destroyed and how we’ll all go to Hell?

    Yes. They all contracted respiratory diseases from breathing traffic fumes and died. So they were right.

    eco-lunatics such as Extinction Rebellion who insist that we have only a few years to save our planet from destruction.

    So- demonstrate how they are wrong.

    Conversely, you might say ' demonstrate how they are right '

    The best route- for sane people - is to err on the side of caution.

    It’s one thing to worry about a changing climate and pollution, to want to do away with single-use plastic bottles and bags, end dumping of waste in our oceans and to move away from fossil fuels to more sustainable forms of energy.

    It’s quite another to sign up to the hysterical misery of the eco-lunatics such as Extinction Rebellion who insist that we have only a few years to save our planet from destruction.

    He confessed last week in an interview in Vogue magazine – guest-edited by his wife Meghan – that the couple plan to have only two children in a bid to save the environment.

    lol all the while they enable people who have 8 kids per couple with no capability of feeding them.

    well it's a discussion point.
    I would say the same -err on the side of caution - but the Extinction Rebellion has no volume control.
    If we committed to "do something" it would wreck our economy, transforming every facet of our lives

    the problem with things like extinction rebellion is they want the first world to change but give a free pass to countries having 5 or more children per couple which is causing this issue in the first place.

    MOST of our economy REQUIRES being transformed because it is THE PROBLEM.

    Parasites- such as maggot- value what's in their wallets rather than what's destroying their environment .
