The Climate Change Thread
Got a BP fuel card - I’m paying about £1.82 for diesel so it’s definitely gone down as it was only a few peace cheaper a few ago yet but the normal price is still around £1.97 so we are definitely being ripped off. A lot of the price goes to the government. They should give us some of the massive windfall profits the government has made.
Old-Dutch being a bit harsh, they had a bad 2020

I posted that to a mate, purely for fishing purposes, and I received a tirade about how climate change is a hoax and the real problem is I dont know the professor who did the research, he could be bought, and the real problem is the media who are roping me in for votes and something else, I dont know what else he was banging on about but I bit down on the glass I was drinking out of and spilled my gin.
Amps Very rare I meet people with that opinion on climate change these days
Same. But which is worse - don’t believe it’s happening, or believe it’s happening and in a position of power, but won’t do anything about it because it doesn’t suit my personal power dynamic (see current Tory leadership campaigns)?

Oh they are out there alright. I’ve got a friend the same who is neither of those. Actually he’s well read, quite intelligent and generally well informed. He is however a xenophobic, Tory voting, homophobic.( As most Tories are)
He also gets great pleasure in bombarding me with YouTube clips of climate change denial.
Mainly by washed up or discredited 70 year old scientists from America.
Incidentally he’s a big Peterson fan too and absolutely hates it when I mock him for being a steak eating loon 
vinnyt77 I suppose if there must be some people who are fairly reasonable in most regards (so, not flat earthers, not daft racists, not Tories) who just can’t comprehend it or don’t trust scientists, in which case, fair enough, they are yet to be convinced… but, regardless of power, if you just deny it or spread misinformation for your own gain, you can fuck off.
Reading about the work of the CIA, their owners, and foreign equivalents etc recently, and realising that they are happy to assassinate their own president over market regulation, bomb Panama for ego, and install puppet governments worldwide, ‘they’ won’t do a thing about the climate until it’s fucked and saving it equals more money.

He’s an anti-vaxxer, intelligent to a degree, he’s an engineer for Dell in the States, from Ireland, loves his bangers and was there during the Summer of electronic love but since moving to the States about 16 years ago has turned into an AR-15 wielding, Fox News watching, Trump loving, ignorant twat. He bangs on about how the media brainwashes but just doesn’t see the irony in any of his newly held “beliefs” force fed to him by the media he consumes. He’s literally a walking social experiment.

I think I honestly thought that that kind of mentality and behaviour was ingrained from birth. Pretty stunned to hear an otherwise non-mentaller can adopt the craziness that quickly…
That’s about 80% of America though
I just hope Dave’s doing his bit by recycling -

Have just seen that the US Postal Service have 40 year old trucks that do 6 miles per gallon 
That’s worse than a Lamborghini Countach of the same era that did a comparatively prudent 7 miles per gallon. How the fuck could anyone make anything that shit and find a buyer for it? Even worse, there are over 50 thousand of the cunts still on the roads.
Could be a painful winter in Deutschland with Putin toying with their energy supplies
Absolutely Fewmin watching ‘Big Oil v the world’
Thought provoking piece. Always thought carbon offsetting is a joke

Time to tax the plastic lawn imo.

Fake lawn has long been a big fucking gripe of mine. The shit is just an absolutely fucking ridiculous concept especially considering the ecological damage it’s proven to cause. It has so many damaging qualities, but most of all the way it breaks down into micro particles. But tyres on cars do exactly the fucking same and as long as there’s tyre on cars you might as well be pissing into the ocean curtailing AstroTurf.
Here in ’stralia you have the absolute perfect climate for grass. There’s fucking countless types that are drought resistant, sun resistant, flood resistant, wear resistant, fast growing , slow growing you fucking name it there’s a grass here to suit you. It supports all kinds of insects and worms/grubs that the rest of the eco system feeds off. So what do cunts do here? Yep they dig it up and put fucking synthetic turf down instead. It’s horrible in the sun too it’s hot and feels shit under foot. It breaks down really fucking fast here and there’s countless people with claims because it lasts nowhere near the life guarantees given. Hardly anything survives the sun here unless it’s concrete, glass or metal.
The only good thing is most people realise it’s shite after a few years but then it goes into landfill for 5000 years.
The cunts selling it need flogging to death.
Cankles-McJeggings seems like the people that get it over here are people that are too lazy to mow a lawn and do it on the cheap, so it looks horrific and is so obvious it’s fake.

Same here mate. Absolutely bone idle brain dead Muppets with more money than sense. You couldn’t even begin to explain the connection with the stuff and environmental damage, it would be lost on them or they actually don’t give a shit. There’s loads of them . They’ll also be more than likely piling round in a v8 4wd monstrosity even though they rarely or never leave the city boundaries. They also have jet ski’s. You’ll know the sort.
Was thinking of getting an artificial lawn I can’t lie!
Where? On your head?
Oi oi!
