Protesters

[Octavian]

'Your children are facing annihilation within a decade or two, who knows exactly when? .'

It’s lines like this that rub people up the wrong way.

It’s blatantly not true is it.

I’ve read several different models on what could or couldn’t happen and none predict an existential threat coming in 20 years. The models are all geared towards a target by 2100.

A wushu washy but very extreme prediction, followed by a “who actually knows?” Isn’t going to convince anyone.

This is why it might be seen as an example of CBT style catastrophising.

It is still likely that the ruptures to life as we know it will be profound, eventually.

Nevertheless, I disagree profoundly with the style of protest.

An example of a much better way of going about things is the video I am about to post on the Conservative Party thread.

I agree

The Met Office is predicting regular temperatures over 50 degrees centigrade in India and China by 2050, which will kill billions of people.

So what do you call an existential threat?

Telling people in the UK their kids will be annihilated in 20 years isn’t true, is it?

Well we'll be in serious trouble. Worldwide food shortages, billions of refugees, wars all over the place.

If you're handwringing about Russia having nukes, just imagine what things will be like when India and Pakistan become completely unstable as famine after famine kills tens of millions every year.

Iceland is about 20% geothermal, but 75% Hydro which any country with rivers can do.

Most countries are getting there, I think we have a warped perception of how possible it is because the UK is so far behind - 61st in the world.

Iceland is a little smaller than the UK and has a population about the size of Warrington's. So their needs are tiny compared to that of the UK.

…and as luck would have it, today, I‘ve been impacted business wise by the Dartford Bridge protest.

Karma, is a woman :)

Just watched this on the BBC and can't believe the police shut the bridge down due to "safety reasons".
Now I am sympathetic to the cause, however, I also believe it should be a "cross over this line and you do so at your own risk".
If they were to fall off from their hammocks, it wouldn't be a passing car or lorry that will kill them....

Don't jump into a conversation halfway through without catching up.

Octavian said no countries could be 100% renewable, I posted 10 that already are, he said Iceland doesn't cound it's all thermal (ignoring the other 9 because they didn't fit), I pointed out it's 75% hydro, which all countries can use.
