    I don't do any gardening, so you can't blame me for the greenhouse gases.

    That’s a shame, she’s doing more for our environment than about 99% of our population.

    Not sure why you would have anything against a child doing that.

    If someone told there was a thread about climate change on the Hull City board and there's a poster on there that doesn't give a **** about future generations, I'd immediately say, "Oh that'll be Howdentiger.

    The **** him :angry:

    And if there was one person who takes what I wrote and twists it, then it would be kempton ;)

    I didn't say I don't care about future generations, I just don't believe that humans are to fully blame for what's happening, there has always been global shifts in the earth's climate that has been proved to have happened multiple times even before humans where here. Plus I strongly believe that the powers that be just use it to scaremonger and tax us extra in absolutely ever single way possible just to get £££ and they use climate as an excuse.

    Each to their own as per and I'm sure everyone had different options :) one thing I will say is that if you and me ever agree on something then I'm

    1- putting a lottery ticket on
    2- buying you a pint

    :)

    I believe it's the big business empires and greedy governments that are too afraid to lose these tax benefits you speak of.

    Making plastic must be quite a large industry around the world, yes?

    Lots of taxes being made there right?

    I could go on and on, but I'm sure you get my drift.

    In fact I'm sure you already know this.

    I don't think any body has claimed otherwise about global warming and climate change , it has always happened . The difference now is human
    activity is changing the climate and we know about it.

    As for taxes when has any government ever needed an excuse to tax people ? I don't really understand that argument

    Grumbling about taxes is a bit weird anyway. I assume most people like the idea of the NHS, roads, bins being emptied, parks, etc. They none of them come for free.

    I’m currently emptying a fridge of cold beer...by drinking them
    Presumably while I have said beer outside drinking it, it’s coldness must be slightly cooling down the atmosphere...

    Don’t mention it

    A good fair amount ( not all ) are doing it and will be doing it because ATM it's the fashionable thing to do, they won't really know much about what they are protesting for or against. Let's be honest.. how many would be doing it if it wasn't the "in thing" to do?
