Off Topic Climate Change & Nature thread

[TwoWrights]

Ffs, I thought we had moved on from fighting on here.

Now we have got two on here that do not even support Charlton

More will probably visit nearer the time of us playing you, they won't stay around, whereas I have. That said, bad smells etc.


The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.

The Antarctic sea ice on which they lay their eggs and rear their chicks is breaking up before those chicks have time to develop their adult waterproof plumage. So more of the chicks are dying of hypothermia when they fall prematurely into the sea.

Sad for the penguins, but the leopard seals and orcas will benefit. Circle of life.

We should have listened to the scientists 40+ years ago. We applaud their brilliance Artemis's amazing feat but turn a deaf ear when we don't like what they say.

The fat polar bears would disagree

And the fat oil producers

Thank God for them, otherwise we’d have no cars to get us to places we need to go. No planes to fly us where we want to go. Sail ships which would increase journey times by many, many factors. No plastics, synthetic textiles, pharmaceuticals. No fertilisers to grow the amount of food we need now. No trainers, waterproof clothing. No tarmac for our road surfaces etc etc etc.

Still we would have some things that we currently don’t have.

Regular and lengthy power cuts, people dieing of hyperthermia in the winter, no access to the internet, so no Not 606 ()
a break-down in law and order, anarchy, being thrown out of our homes by the mob etc etc etc

We’d need them though, to flee from the anarchy to France.

Think I’ll head to Italy and open a fish and chip shop

Italy is screwed unfortunately.

Not once I open the fish & chip shop - it’ll kick start their economy

Presumably you’ll use sunflower oil to cook in and wood fired stoves to heat the oil ?

Please don’t tell me you’d use beef dripping to cook the chips in. Sacrilege.

Got to be olive oil obviously - heated by Italian ladies facial hair burning stove

Don’t think you can heat olive oil hot enough to cook chips, but at least you’re not going for beef dripping.

I had chips cooked in beef dripping from a chippy in Norfolk once. Never again. I can still taste them to this day.

This thread might be more interesting if it was expanded to "The Climate and Nature Crisis". Depends how many of us take an active interest in the natural world and environmental matters.

 

[lardiman]

No harm in this thread doubling up as a home for all debates regarding the Natural World (conservation vs agriculture / mining) or that kind of thing, as well as climate change related matters.

I think I'll drop the word 'crisis' from the title.
Though Global warming is regarded as a crisis by many millions of people, I only used it here as a bit of a poke at its use in another thread title.

Thanks to the efforts of volunteers it's not all doom and gloom in the natural world in Kent. The rewilding in Blean includes the introduction of species like bison, rare goats, pigs, beavers, highland cattle, all of which are doing a sterling job for the natural world.

I know a couple of pigs in Kent - luckily they’ve sold one of our micro pubs in Tankerton and are going muck spreading around Europe

 

[Watameire]

I’m all in favour of more beavers
