Just Stop Oil protests

Knock yourself out. Punctuation haha.

Planet ? Meh

Being late for work or punctuation, now that's a different matter.

Pmsl.

Anyhow it's run its course.
PML, of course.

Amazingly, like some arse-clenching Tory MP, you have managed to avoid answering any questions - and considering I wasn't worth responding to, you just couldn't help yourself, could you? Anyhow, I'm off to the transfers thread to weigh up how much more damage our dirty oil profits are inflicting on the planet. I may wave a flag at the next game if I think it is a step too far.
 
What if someone with a serious bleed or a heart attack needed to get to a Hospital in the back of an Ambulance ASAP and was held up by these utter cunts.
What if selfish arseholes hadn't ignored shit for decades and we would have less traffic so all ambulances would get there quicker.

What if the air was cleaner so kids didn't choke. What if less pollutants meant less cancer.

What about wildfires and heat killing people.

What about all the species of animals that...........

You get the general idea yes? Funny what some of you attempt to moralise about because of some protesters eh?
 
People like you have being saying that for decades and will continue to do so. I don't expect a good outcome
Instead of being objective and a bit childish, can you tell everyone - like many have said on here... How do we go from mass fossil fuel consumption to renewables in such a short time frame? The infrastructure involved is almost impossible. The JSO brigade have their agenda but no plan on how all this is executed. We know what their aim is, but is it realistic or even achievable? Without the backing of the other huge oil consuming countries like USA, India, China, Russia their efforts are pretty much diluted.

Me as a mere citizen on this planet just accept the facts that it's a task beyond the realms of reality (well in my lifetime and probably my kids lifetime). You may disagree but that's the way I guess most people feel looking at the last few pages on this forum.
 
You’re not, they’re not protesting to phase out all fossil fuels, they’re protesting to stop new exploration. They’re not asking you or anyone to make any immediate lifestyle changes either.

On your first point, I’d agree about politicians and the media, not sure of a reason not to trust the mass consensus when it comes to scientific opinion though.

That’s the “we’ve had enough of listening to experts” behaviour which will forever be damaging.
Climate change is apparently happening now, the damage is being done supposedly and that’s due to fossil fuels that we use every day. We can’t stop searching for new exploration, there’s not enough renewable energy resources to run the planet now and I doubt there ever will be. When you factor the world population is only growing, how the fuck do you solve the issue?
 
PML, of course.

I bet he sings Sheikh Mansours name.
 
This isn’t an anti-fascist protest. The people suffering from their actions are not fascists - just ordinary people trying to get on with their lives. Poke the bear long enough and it will turn round and fucking bite you. The protestors indeed have the rights you describe, but they should also face realistic consequences of their actions - and I don’t mean arrest, criminal record. If they choose to “protest” by effectively waging economic warfare against their fellow citizens then their punishment should proportionate. For example, if they shut an airport, they should face the recovery of the costs of their actions…a few million quid - that would put a dent in their trust funds.

they are not waging economic warfare against their fellow citizens, they are protesting.
all protests have an economic cost, all actions have an economic cost. the economic cost of protests is part of what makes them effective.
they would also argue that ordinary people carrying on with their lives is going to have a massive economic and environmental impact a few years down the line and its the people protesting that are being provoked and poked and being forced to bite.

you imply that all the protestors are trust fund kids and independantly wealthy. i know quite a few of the protesters and not one of them is independantly wealthy or has trust fund.
 
They are protesting. They have every right to do what they want as long as it’s not violent. No issue with them whatsoever.
Would you still say that if you were trying to get a dying loved one to Hospital as quick as possible knowing that time is crucial ...
 
But doesn't obstructing traffic force drivers to burn even more fossil fuels..?

Would I still believe in the right to protest even if it adversely affected me? Yes.
