Several senior scientists have now said the claim was unrealistic and that the large Himalayan glaciers could not melt in a few decades. Similar time-table to Brexit then  |

If they start messing with flights this weekend and seriously disturbing law abiding normal people going about their business, surely it's time for the authorities to not have any ****footing around?
Put a gun to a bag of quinoa and say "stop or the kwinoah gets it!!!". Then if any of the *****ers snootily corrects them with "it's pronounced keemwah", just shoot them anyway  . |

heathrow is really easy to mess with, there is a tunnel that all motor vehicles have to go through to reach terminals 2 and 3, it was targeted once before and there was chaos.
arrest them all they are causing an obstruction. i have seen footage of police officers dancing with them and skate boarding  |
|
By:
Do they dance and skateboard with 'far right' protesters ? One imagines they'd have more time to enjoy themselves not having to contend with hundreds of arrests
 |

By:
Should go in with police dogs and horses. Crowd dispersal tactics. Unfortunately our Soya Plod have been gelded.

Having seen some of the video footage the OB must be absolutey terrified of mis-gendering at the point of arrest
|
|
By:
i find use of the term 'OB' deeply offensive, carrying as it does connotations of male domination. please use gender neutral terms in future.
one has just been on the london news, he/she wanted to get arrested and managed to within 24 hours. i couldnt actually tell whether the person was male trying to appear female or vice versa  |

By:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I rest my case

By:
i heard that one of the social media companies has about 30 gender options
 |

By:
I doubt it but it's funny either way

By:
i got it wrong, its 71

"Little Miss Gender"
Sounds like both an excuse ("It was just a ..") AND a 60s rockabilly song . |

Sounds like a Robert Hargreaves unpublished book

Met Police officers skateboarded and danced with the protestors.
What on earth has gotten into the heads of these public servants? Clearly the current Met management hierarchy is not fit for purpose when disgraces like this are happening. . https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/police-boss-blasts-unacceptable-behaviour-of-officers-filmed-skateboarding-and-dancing-at-extinction-a4121381.html |

I remember the days of the hard-nosed OB who used to think nothing of putting the boot in if you tried to climb the barriers and run on the pitch but never batted an eyelid to some of the songs sung on the terraces .
Now we seem to have a load of thin-skinned pansies with batons and attitude . |

Plod used to do bad things to bad people. Now they offer you guacomole and a latte.
|
|
By:
Latte? That has milk, vegans consider that cowist fascism.
|
|
By:
Oat milk.. Oats harvested by the hands of purple haired types who cycled to the farm on bicycles made from sustainable rainforests.
|
|
By:
Actually I sometimes buy Alpro if it's on half price sale (which it often is), it's pretty nice. Not quite milk but similar and pleasant enough.
I should be on this protest, I need to burn my soap! |

Surely, assuming Co2 is such an issue, there are ways to mitigate it?
"Nuclear winters" are caused by high level dust kicekd up from blasts stopping energy penetrating to lower levels. Just let off a nuke every few weeks at a controlled rate?  There must be ways of doing something. Stick huge geostationary parasols up in high orbit over the equator (maximum input area) over areas of the ocean with no islands that stop 30% of light reaching earth. Abbot's knickers could provide for about 3 of them. |

A few stags Do's missing their Flights should quickly sort the situation out , thoughts may stray from the Climate if heads are being kicked in .

Some lass chained herself to a railing
Like what fantasy world do they think that's going to achieve anything? "we shall not be moved" Well you've chained yourself to a railing, there's jack booted thugs coming towards you tooled up the eye balls... I think your about to get a battering, but never mind, in your fantasy world you ain't being removed. Absolute jokers |
|
By:
Cops can just waltz in and kick 7 shades of s*** outta em
They've chained themselves up, no weapons either And they are suppose to be our "saviours" |

By:
Zero discussion of alternative views. For example. Exhibit 1: Mr Albert Arnold Gore...
According to this supposed eco warrior we should have been dead 5 years ago. |
|
By:
I watched Attenborough's fear mongering disgrace. No other views. Zero mention of the Moon's gravitational pull and its variables.
Nothing about the Sun either. Are we moving closer or further away? Even if our position changed by 0.00001 % we would see climate change. When they say 'the hottest year on record' they mean since 1880. What about the other millenia??? NO mention of geological evidence that suggests temps were higher centuries ago. Is CO2 the devil?? NO!!! It's the lifeblood of the planet! Without it we die! Where's the mention of this? Oh and the Polar Bear population is increasing.... |

No one is allowed to question them, if you attempt to they immediately call you a conspiracy nut job They are simple |
|
By:
you can question them, but should be fact based not tin foil.

we are pumping carbon dioxide, it heats up the planet
either pump less, or find a means of taking carbon dioxide out of atmosphere seems quite simple, but its not happening |
