Will people go without the PlayStation 5 to save the planet? Will you?

Will Brits holiday in the UK to save the planet? Will you?

I will, I already do, and I couldn't give a sh1te about climate change.

Thats the problem isn’t it, standing around hand wringing and expecting someone else to do something, while carrying on with business as usual, its up to every individual to look at their own habits and dial it back if they are really serious about helping the planet

Another self-appointed oracle
What do you do except for sarky comments about the protesters?

Practice what you preach about personal remarks maybe?

I’m no oracle, just talking common sense

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!

The problem with power usage isn't the amount of power used, it's the kind of power used. If renewable energy became the prime power source then it wouldn't matter to the environment if people used electronics or not. It's the use of fossil fuels that are the problem so your attempt to shame younger generations has pretty much fallen on it's face.

That piece I posted was aimed at my generation too. So your observations are wrong again.

If that's all you're focusing on from that post then you've missed the point, as always.

I posted a message from a boomer online, and somehow, you've tried to turn it on me.

You just want to argue with me, don't you?
