In school during the early seventies the prediction was that another ice age was inevitable.

Yes, and in the 1960's as I remember.  So was the prediction that Earth's magnetic field would change polarity, with no one then knowing what would happen to the electrics of the day.

Just imagine the panic now in the hi tech world if the poles reversed! :o :o :D ;)

I think with Brexit they might, a few I work with are already planning to move back

If they carry on blocking London for much longer, HGV's with cow catchers should be deployed. Scoop 'em all up and straight to landfill. What a delicious irony. Captured by a smoke belching wagon and left to rot, causing lots of greenhouse gases.

I watched an Asian woman, some kind of international busy body, on the news before. She was explaining why they were at it and urging people to join them. Of course I thought "What is it about our country that attracts these people?" WTF don't you go and sit in the middle of the road in your own country? The answer, obviously, is because my previous suggestion would be implemented immediately. Patronising bitch.

Or it could be that only the first world countries can make the changes.

We are the ones screwing up the planet with our unfettered consumption. Arent we ( you) selfish?! ;D

Why didn't she land on the shores of the US, China or India? They're the biggest polluters. No, she came here because we're fickin stupid enough to allow every protester to clog up our roads and glue themselves to whatever they fancy.

I despair of this country in so many ways.

And the part that pisses me off most is that they tell us they're gonna do it in advance. Go on arsebook, name the time and place, bring you own butties/shackles/glue/snotty nosed brats and we're off. Tw**s.

Cannot disagree there. Problem is without people protesting we would still be sending men and boys down coal mines to get coal to make electricity. Change for the better has to start somewhere. You cannot argue against ecological collapse .  One other point is the extinction rebellion movement started in the uk.

Why am I not surprised at that?
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for the extinction bit.

I listened to some woman on the radio yesterday morning who was so excited and inspired by all this that she flew in from the U.S. to join the protest. She didn't see the irony or hypocrisy in her actions.
Fickin cretin.  ;D ::)

Didn't some of them glue themselves to the DLR?

You know, the electric, public, mass transport system.

The kind of thing they want us to give up our cars for.

Which they stopped from running.

The retards.
