Interesting resignation and thoughts from their PR talking head.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-54103163
XR "peddle messages of doomsday gloom that alienate" and offer "little in the way of positive solutions", she added.
co-founder Roger Hallam's claim that science predicts six billion people will die this century due to climate change - a claim that he made to BBC's HARDtalk.
Ms Lights said: "It's a headline-grabbing assertion - but unfortunately, it's also not true,
peer-group tribal pressure to stick to an outdated mainstream green line".
"peddling the notion that the solution to the climate crisis was to turn back the clock to a simpler time".
I think I mentioned last week that XR wanted us to live in caves. That got me a lot of tap. Well, their former head of PR agrees. Tap away.
A few interesting clips from the BBC piece.
I've said before that I am not a fan of them and how they make their point. THis simply reinforces it.

Not brilliant mate. Twin 2 hasn’t grown for almost 10 days now. If T2 hasn’t grown at one of the next scans, either Monday or Wednesday, they will do a section sometime around 24th September.
MrsN is in hospital and staying there. The consultant has said she’s not to go home. She’s utterly fed up. |
Oh lor, sorry to hear that Newcy - hope things go much better very soon. All best wishes to you & Mrs Newcy. |  |

Needs to be done per calorie to have any relevance. |  |

Hmmm. That's one study, which may or may not be reliable, but even if we accept that it is then two acovdaos having a footprint three times greater than a cappuccino needs context. Even a large cappuccino needs quite a small amount of milk relatively speaking, so two avocado having a bigger footprint than that is not necessarily a headline grabber. Plus people have coffee every day, whereas I know literally nobody that eats more than one avocado a week. |  |

We use local butchers a lot but also buy from Waitrose which has higher standards.
We never buy from Aldi or the cheaper supermarkets. Welfare standards are something we don't look to compromise.
I',m not poo-pooing people who shop at other places this is just how we roll. |
Again, how does higher quality rearing have anything to do with environmental impact?
You being a fan marginal gains, you should be able to elaborate.
But for some reason, you seem very reticent to respond and debate on carbon footprint, environmental impact and diet.
Weird. |  | | |

I’ve eaten 6 avocados today, snorted five and smoked a couple this evening.
Beat that. |  |

Jesus, all the best Newcy.
I’m sure the whole of TWTD has their fingers crossed for you all. |  | | |

Am I the only person who finds it odd that a supposed committed environmental activist would choose the Mail and the Telegraph - two papers well known for downplaying climate change - as the outlets to write for? I don't think any I know would touch them with a bargepole.
The organisation she now works for is run by someone funded by the nuclear industry (the organisation itself might be as well - they do not appear to disclose their funding). The pieces in both newspapers will certainly have pleased them.
Is this actually just some PR for her new bosses? |
The Guardian and The Mirror won't print anything pro nuclear, I doubt they would have been in a position to be picky. The person in the article in the original post won't be taking any money from nuclesr industry, and she would still have a normal life like the rest of us, choosing to change job to one that suits her better. Plus, XR pay their members a wage just like many other activist groups and charities.
The comment about the funding is just a lie, the donors for EP are all listed on their website https://environmentalprogress.org/mission
I actually met some of the people campaigning for this yesterday in Sizewell, and they came across as ethical, logical, and balanced. A lot of what I heard them say would resonate with a lot of people on this board- from both sides. |  |

It wasn't a lie - I had a look on their website prior to writing my comment and couldn't find anywhere where they disclosed the funding, hence why I said they appear not to, rather than saying that they didn't.
This is not an anti-nuclear power stance (I am very much in favour for nuclear power as a temporary solution to getting to zero carbon emissions); it's concern about her trashing XR as a way of getting positive PR for the nuclear industry in the newspapers that lap this kind of criticism up. |  | | |

Apologies- not a lie, but incorrect.
People can only answer the questions put in front of them to be fair, and questions were answered honestly. It's perfectly fine to support XR in general, but to disagree with them in some aspects, IMO. | |

Have you sampled I Am Nut OK cheeses? Blooming lovely. |
Oh Lordy.
If I get nothing else from my many years of talking nonsense to bots on TWTD, this recommendation will be something to cherish. | | | |
