Polluted areas cause more illnesses, especially among children and the elderly, so it's not just a global problem. Last edited by Oliver_W; 13-10-2019 at 12:23 PM. |

I'll always be bemused by parents that are apathetic or downright oppose any kind of environmental action. This is the world your children will inherit.

I know they are, but it seems to be having a negative effect.

Populations of the UK’s most important wildlife have plummeted by an average of 60% since 1970, according to the most comprehensive analysis to date.
The State of Nature report also found that the area inhabited by officially designated “priority species” has shrunk by 27%. The species are those deemed most important and threatened, and include hedgehogs, hares and bats, many birds such as the willow tit and the turtle dove, and insects such as the high brown fritillary butterfly. The report finds the losses to all animals, plants and marine life show no sign of letting up, despite some successes in protecting individual species. It found that 41% of species have decreased in abundance, while just 26% have increased. A quarter of UK mammals and nearly half of the birds assessed are at risk of extinction, according to the report, which was produced by a coalition of more than 70 wildlife organisations and government conservation agencies. When plants, insects and fungi are added, one in seven of the 8,400 UK species assessed are at risk of being completely lost, with 133 already gone since 1500. The causes of the losses are the intensification of farming, pollution from fertiliser, manure and plastic, the destruction of habitats for houses, the climate crisis and invasive alien species. The State of Nature report shows no significant improvement since the last one in 2016, which said the UK was “among the most nature-depleted countries in the world”.The Guardian If you paid attention you'd realize by their name this particular movement emphasizes the mass extinction we are living through Britain's wildlife is dying Last edited by Twosugars; 13-10-2019 at 01:12 PM. |

If I ran such a group I would encourage governments to set up a worldwide fund for research and development into new technology that will combat climate change.

Hand wringing? ... I dont understand the mocking tones and the refusal to acknowledge that this is bigger than a societal problem, this is a governmental issue whatever we do individually it will never be enough to prevent climate change.
There has to be energy industry changes, legislation to reduce pollution levels and prevent mass extinctions, a global effort. This is what holds back progress, the 'I'm alright jack' attitude to the issue which denigrates anyone who challenges the status quo. Can you not see the legions of doctors protesting because infant mortality is rising exponentially here due to air quality? All we can do is protest for change, campaigning has not worked nobody listened. We only contribute 2% to global pollution. .. this country is a thousand miles from one end to the other so proportionally on a global scale that is a MASSIVE amount, the commentators at LBC won't share that perspective though as we then look like China who have other priorities over the environment. Hand wringing. .. pffft!

It's really worrying. I think the movement could tone down a little and ensure little disruption takes place when they're protesting. Having said that, I won't condemn them and actually if I was where they were would even join in with the campaigning. I admire their efforts.. .sadly some like to pay lip service to the worrying losses and dangers as listed in your post. Then can only condemn those fighting against it and drawing attention to the issues. Like this thread. The group doing these protests have got people talking. The list you have posted above.. The other issues they are highlighting too, getting raised and talked about. So I applaud what they are doing. Far more than I ever would those who may possibly prefer to moan at them and put down their efforts. While adding some token lip service to the glaring dangers to come, if much more isn't done to deal with the issues being raised and highlighted. Great post from you Twosugars.
