indianajones Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 I agree with their point completely but this sort of thing should be carried out in London.

Thats 11,200 hectares or roughly 22 million trees. In one year. Everyone can do more but we are ahead of the game without a doubt. Would be better aimed in London like i mentioned previously. The English tree planting last year was a complete joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The planned blockade of Heathrow will really go against them if it goes ahead. I disagree with their methods as a general principle, I don't think you should be targeting innocent folk. But I guess their view is that people aren't innocent and these sorts of actions are required to get attention. Will it work? Probably not, but I don't think it'll fail because they've delayed people or pissed them off, I think it'll fail because most folk don't care enough and realistically, it's not folk driving down Lothian Road that'll change anything. It's factories in the USA and China. If they really wanted to make a difference, that's where they'd target. That or murdering lots of cows, polluting *******s that they are.

tian447 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 As already posted, Scotland is one of the World leaders in terms of Renewable Energy production, with around 70% of our energy coming from renewable sources. The problem with these protestors is that it's one huge virtue signalling effort, trying to show how progressive and original they all are, focusing all of their efforts in entirely the wrong places. The worst thing is, they know this, and are largely just trying to make a scene. We are trying, in Scotland and the UK in general, to be better at this, whilst other countries continue to take the absolute piss, dumping stuff in the sea, pumping huge amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, and generally polluting the planet. World leaders such as America denying there's a problem, and attempting to bring us all back to Industrial Revolution levels of pollution. Scotland could physically disappear off the map, and it wouldn't make the slightest bit of difference to climate change, pollution or global emissions. If we want change in the world, lying down in the middle of a road in Edinburgh is not going to change that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malinga the Swinga Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Pretty sure the protesters will congratulate themselves on doing such a good job, then go home to their nice centrally heated homes, make sure their mobile phones are fully charged before making the most of their showers and settling down to watch their flat screen TVs. The fact that they are using up the very resources they are protesting about most likely escapes the hypocritical idiots. As long as they are okay, they couldn't give a monkeys about those less fortunate than themselves. They have their decent standard of living and for those in less developed countries who are trying to catch up, well tough because now the planet needs saved..
