hmfc_steve Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 13 hours ago, Francis Albert said: Clearly we need to add decarbonising our history to the task of decolonising it. Every museum, every book, every school history leasson on the industrial revolution will have to be accompanied by an explanation of the harm the industrial revolution caused to the planet. Any statue of people like James Watt (and if there are any) of their decendents will need to be accompanied by a plaque "contextualising" it. Reparations to the victims of climate change must surely be made. While we're at it, let's put in a claim against the Romans and Vikings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t have figures to hand (can’t be arsed looking) but, I’d place a bet on more people being born in the last 24months than passed away…..probably by a huge margin as well. Add to that all the newborns in say 20 years time having kids of there own…..multiply x multiply x multiply etc…… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh the irony. Add to the that the fact that one of the key speakers is an 18 year girl, who will no doubt be desperate to share her many years of wisdom and you've got a bit of a circus. Par for the course these days. I'm not suggesting that the issue shouldn't be discussed, but I'm little tired of being preached to by the political and celebrity class who seem to operate on a do as I say not as I do basis. I'm with you. Sick and tired of their preaching which would be fine if they actually walked the talk. The issue is the most important one facing the planet but they've been hosting these for something like 20+ years and still behave as they want, with scant regard to the issues they say they're want to address.

I’m mindful of environmental concerns but the loudest preachers are often the biggest hypocrites. Someone posted a video of Joe Biden’s 20+ gas guzzling vehicle motorcade making its way through from Edinburgh, where he and his entourage are staying , complete with hefty Police Scotland escort and helicopter. Said motorcade will presumably be making that 90-100 mile round trip every day. He arrived on the presidential Jumbo. It’s just breathtakingly lamentable. As for Queen Lizzie and her dysfunctional family, the carbon footprint of their homes and lifestyles will be astronomical and they’ve been piping up too.

I like that scenario Alternatively, they could all have stayed at home and conducted the whole thing on Teams or Zoom, as I’ve had to do in my job since March last year with no end in sight.

The square root of diddly has been achieved in fact emissions have risen and more deforestation has happened.
