All the conservatives in the USA say to USE GUNS when THEY think a law is "unfair" (to them). So JustStopOil should USE GUNS when government forces unjust laws protecting the status quo no matter how much pain and suffering the status quo will force onto humanity.
Nothing we do will make one iota of difference to our climate, and it's pure arrogance, and ignorance to think we can. The best we can do is manage as best we can, but in saying that we have two of the most massively populated country's on the planet, surging ahead, building more and more coal fueled power stations to continue to grow their economy's and lift their people out of poverty. So for England or my country, Australia to think they can make a midicom of a difference to the world's climate is laughable, it's just plain virtue signalling.
Co2 on the atmosphere has increased by over 50% since pre industrial levels... that kinda seems to me like a human led impact of drastic proportions. The level of science illiteracy by people so incredible dense and naive is astounding.
You're the one who's nuts if you think this situation is nothing to cry about. Everyone's either denying the mind-boggling scope of the problem, blowing hot air or advocating greenwashing "solutions." If you don't know how awful the condition that humanity finds itself in right now, after 50 years of climate neglect, *you're* the one who's crazy.

No that not how it works - the more radical an ‘activist’ action is, the more likely they are to be a crackpot. The level of activism doesn’t correlate with worthiness or truth of that cause
No, the data shows that. And the data shows does show this is a worthy, true threat. What Monbiot said is substantiated by mountains of measurements of every kind.
It's often assumed that extreme weather causes the majority of deaths, with most previous research focusing on the effects of extreme heat waves," says lead author Dr Antonio Gasparrini from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine in the UK. "Our findings, from an analysis of the largest dataset of temperature-related deaths ever collected, show that the majority of these deaths actually happen on moderately hot and cold days, with most deaths caused by moderately cold temperatures."
Excellent quote, thank you! I lived on the streets for a while when I was a teenager, and although my experiences were just anecdotal, of course, these data do track with what I remember from that time; so I'm not surprised.
What an absolute pratt If we stop oil and technology fails to pick up to the necessary levels required how are we going to power our combines and tractors ?
The thing with "runaway" climate warming is that the Earth has been much warmer as well as much colder in other eras of natural history including when humans were alive and it cooled down and warmed up by natural processes. There is no such thing as an absolutely runaway climate. What they should tell people, if they were sane, is that we need to reduce pollution, not make up false ultimatums about mother nature versus drivers
I get the impression they seem to think there`s a quick fix to the problem, like just flick a switch and all will be well, it`s taken decades to get to this point and will, if ever, take decades to get back to normal, whatever normal is. that being said, I have an opinion I would like to share, if I may, is that climate change has become self sustaining and will continue in this way until it has balanced itself out, we will have to ride it out unfortunately !
Given the three decades of the US and China opposing any countermeasures I believe you're correct. Also, I'm getting the impression that you seem to think these protestors are normal eco-activists... they are the extremist ends of eco-activism rearing it's head after three decades of everyone else circle jerky while pretending climate change isn't a big deal. Extremists appear whenever a group believes they have no other choice. Thanks for recognizing that we've run out of time.
Please read 6 degrees by mark lynas and later fact check it if you don't believe it, and I'm sure the exercise will disabuse you of these baseless denials.
Just incase you don't read it however, we are reaching 1.5 degrees of a rise in global average temperatures probably by next year February. This September was the hottest In recorded human history going upto 1.8 degrees. This was a temporary rise but once the new baseline is 1.5, it will be quite common to reach 2 degrees at various months. The arctic is projected (and all mainstream climate scientists are on one page on this) to lose all permanent ice by 2030. Once that happens, the World will heat up by 0.5 more, which will take us to 2 degrees. At 2 degrees, droughts will last half the year and will be prevalent everywhere, which will lead to global bread basket failure. You say we will ride it out, but at 2 degrees, 3 will be locked in as the Greenland and antartic ice sheets will also collapse. At 3 degrees, even Russia and North America will not be safe from prolonged drought. Ofcourse, by two degrees south Asia and Africa as well as most of the south American continents will be lost. But I'm sure as a westerner u don't give a hoot about that so I'll stop here. You could read the chantam house report of 2021 if u don't want to read six degrees by mark lynas. But all the major and most senior climate Scientists from sir David King to James hansen to David Attenborough are agreed on these. So is the un secretary General who has declared the age of global boiling has begun.
Finally at 3 degrees, feedback loops will begin that will take us upto 6. And that will be the end of the ride, as you put it. For humans and most other life on earth
I think once certain types of food start to become impossible to find at any supermarket near you. And that starts happening more and more often, people such as yourself will not only be aware that the world as we know it will never be the same again, but will feel the immense amount of despair in knowing there’s nothing you or anyone on planet earth can do to stop it. Unless you are an old man you will see this happen in YOUR lifetime. Not your children, not your grandchildren.

Solar and wind can only support a fraction of the energy and there are monumental real world obstacles to net carbon zero using those two methods of energy production. The electrical grids cannot support the electrification of all our energy needs, wind genators only work when the wind blows and solar panels only produce energy during the day and have both a theoretical and practical limit to how much of the photons can be converted to electrical energy. They are further limited by cloudy and rainy days as well as seasonal shifts in the angle that the sun's rays hit the solar panels. They need inverters which use rare earth minerals which are also used for electronics worldwide. I can go on and on about the scientific and practical limitations or pitfallls of "green" energy methods. We need to innovate new energy sources,, adapt, use carbon capture and filtration, phase out the least efficient fossil fuels and develop and improve Molten Salt Reactors which if used properly are less riskier and can recycle used fuel and reduce the amount of nuclear waste that also has a much shorter half-life of decay.
Poor George...don't worry, things are changing, you have to have hope in humanity and that we will have a better world, it is our children that will save the world.
