I wonder whose go it will be in another 38 years while the grown ups keep w@nking on? We're all @anarchists age 12 it seems! Growing up is giving up. "If you don't know how to fix it, please stop breaking it."

I posted this weeks ago buh.
But yes, still good to be reminded that people have been trying to highlight this for decades.
And been shut down for over-playing it all each time.
Ok....missed it ..... she was featured on R4 today during my lunch break....as well as getting me a little tearful it pissed me off. As did the one about Rachel Carson back in the mid 60's arguing her corner against corporate scientists while dieing of cancer. We literally learn nothing from history.

It's fine, but next time if you could just attach some credit or something...
Back in the late 80s - early 90s there was a local lord in Norfolk by the name of Lord Melchett.
No, not him.
He and his friends were always in and out of court for highlighting and fighting local GM crop intrusions and the like. Cross contamination.
They held up a train from Sizewell carrying waste on suspicion of radiation leakage and caused a fuss. Arrested again - back in court. If I recall correctly, won their cases

It's incremental. Each generation gets a little bit further than the last.
We won’t be around to understand if that continues to be the case guthers, but jury is out.
I think we will. The human race are a tough lot, very adaptable, we'll live anywhere.
The main question is how much of a sh1thole we will have made of the place before coming to our collective senses. And what, if anything, can be done to repair the situation by that stage.

History has never really been a smooth march of progress (except in Victorian school textbooks and Marxist dialectics).
No it tends to be big swings, in terms of thinking anyway that then smooth out for a period before the next wave comes in. It remains to be seen if this is the beginnings of a wave or the continuation of a smoother period.
No idea when I began here, was a very long time ago. Previously known as Spirit_of_81. Love cheese, hate the colour of it, this is why it requires some blue in it.

Technology is the answer. We need to move to nuclear power, which emits virtually no carbon. But at the moment about 80% of the world’s energy comes from fossil fuel.
There may also be options to effectively put sun screen on the atmosphere to reflect light back.
Taxes or duties on companies or countries that emit carbon will result in consumers going for the cheaper option.
The solution won’t be easy, but it lies in technology not in mankind reverting to the Stone Age.

Without wanting to demean the subject, check out the ‘Bless This House’ film form 72’. Sid James’ daughter leading a protest against damage to the environment. Ahead of its time..
