Nobody is saying the world will end in 12 years. What the science is predicting is that if we don't drastically reduce our carbon output in the next 12 years then we will dramatically change the climate to the point where extreme events will occur that threaten all life on the planet.

Too late mate...it was prophesied a long time ago by those close to the Lord


But still, it is upon us mere mortals to try I suppose

indeed, not sure if it was an electric car or not ?

As I mentioned to Dunc, we are where we are with all of this. We've all been told that mass consumerism and economic growth is good for the world. We all use fossil fuels and we consume products that have been produced using fossil fuels.

We're only just realising the impact all of this is having on the planet, so have to work within the structures we've already got and try to change them.

Not at all, I'm always open to people showing me the error of my ways or giving something to think on. I'm a proud badge wearing fence sitter and firmly believe that there are not enough people who look at both sides of an argument with the mindset to change. The modern world is full of idiots who will not listen and refuse to change their mind as if it's some slight to their character if they have to backtrack and say "sorry I got that wrong". It would be a better world if people chilled out and looked at all aspects of an argument other than refusing to budge because "I want to be right"!

We're all living in a world where we're reliant on fossil fuel energy. That's what we've been born into and have been told is progress. It's only now we're beginning to realise the consequences of our actions. So some of us are taking action on a scale and level that is realistic to our circumstances.

We're not going to extricate ourselves from this situation overnight. But I think it's important to begin to start making the changes that you can.

As I said fill your boots mate.
Put down the phone and start a vegetable patch , don't buy any imported food , don't buy cheap knock off trainers made in Thailand get your old boots resoled instead .
Don't eat meat or drink bottled water , wear a jumper in the winter and turn off your heater.

There is so much more you can do .

Yep, whatever belief system we choose to guide our lives. The evidence now is that we're facing massive climate extremes which will have a fundamental change on life on Earth.

It would be negligent not to even try to change things imo.

But maybe the world needs a mass extinction of humans for it to survive, who knows ? This could all be part of a greater plan in the grand scheme of things.

My point is that if you want go around shrieking at people like a ****ing banshee, then you have to be squeaky clean yourself. Good cause though tbf.

Nowhere near politicians unless they visit school.

She's 16. She could leave school if she wanted to in this country and get a job or join the army.
There are a lot more people of her age doing a lot dumber **** than digging out a few political leaders.
I think that they can take it, though I wonder why so many people are suddenly being very protective of them and their feelings.

I've got a vegetable patch. I buy most of my food locally. ebay is my friend for 2nd hand clothes and shoes. I mainly eat fish that's been caught locally, vary rarely have meat tbh. I don't buy bottled water, I filter what comes out of the tap. I don't have central heating, I've got a burner that I use compressed sawdust blocks on.

I'm also involved in a few projects that promote and manage compostable packaging, tree planting and rewilding of low grade agriculture land.

Do I still have a carbon footprint ? Of course I do. I'm just trying to make some changes that I can.

If you dare to question the iffy predictions that were off or future predictions then you are a heretic and should be chastised by a spergy middle class child with weird eyes.

In America she wouldn't be allowed a gun with her mental health issues with the new legislation, make of that what you will.
