This whole thread is one big get off my lawn. A pity the older generations didn't care about climate as much as they do about encouraging police brutality, then protests like this wouldn't be needed in the first place.

How old are you going with this? it only really since the early 80s when consumerism has really took off and this has really driven climate change, older generations didn't have central heating, they didn't buy their veg smothered in plastic in fact most grew their own, most didn't take foreign holidays, or if they did it was once a year, they didn't have two cars sitting on the drive, they didn't buy clothes, wear them a few times and throw them away, they used bars of soap, not shower gels full of plastic beads, they didn't buy loads of old tut at Christmas or buy their kids loads of plastic toys all to end up in landfill, I could go on?

Well it's to do with dirty industrialization, not consumer lifestyle, but go off I guess

Yeah sorry, I agree with this tbh. Blaming older people is a cop out. Its not older people (speaking generally) buying all the plastic ****e. And most older people I know grow their own veg and stuff and are quite into recycling? Not sure where this version of older people you speak of comes from really, are most older people you know like that?! I find that..sad really. Speaking broadly, I have found older people care much more about global warming than younger ones. They consume less plastic tat crap, and seem to be more bothered about littering and recycling than most. I mean, these protesters have left behind hundreds of ****ing plastic bottles on the floor instead of cleaning uip after themselves, so clearly they DONT actually care about the environment? So why awre they protresting? Seems attention seeking to me to be quite honest, if they aren't actually bothered about global warming and that given they are contributing. The celeb woman who flew 6000 miles to join a protest about air travel and such, I find ****ing hilarious. And shes being hailed as a hero?! Hypocrites, the lot of them tbh. A few may be genuine, but it seems the majority are just there for something to do to get their faces in the news!

its the "older generations" who clean up and pay for these jobless oiks. its easy to do what they are doing, running a business and paying tax is actual work - hence why they prefer to do this

And now, in charge of all the facts, our current glut of eco-warriors are still drinking from single use plastic bottles while they're protesting.
