Meanwhile back at the [whatever the vegi term for ranch is

EU to demand veggie burgers are called ‘VEGGIE DISCS’ - ‘Insult to our intelligence!’
THE European Union is sticking its bureaucratic nose in it once again - this time it is hoping to ban veggie burgers and veggie sausages.


oh what an insult to the cabbage crunchers fighting global whatsitsname

The agricultural committee of the European Parliament has bizarre plans to block vegetarian and vegan food products bearing the names of meat-related terms and names “exclusively for edible parts of the animals”. This includes veggie burgers and veggie sausages, which have somehow managed to become confusing for EU legislators. Steaks, sausages, escalope and burgers are all set for protected status after the committee voted 80 percent in favour of the changes.

Have you also noticed how fast the East coast is eroding away? My coastal walking this week has had to divert inland a few times due to eroding cliffs. Maybe you don't believe scientists, but use you own eyes...

Have you noticed how the wooden tide breakers are not being maintained by local councils , now there's nothing to take the power out of the waves.

Re: Climate Change - record World temp. rises in Feb.
 

Erosion is part of the earths natural processes as its been happening for millions of years.

Re: Climate Change - record World temp. rises in Feb.
 

Yes Den, but it happens even faster with rising seas and increasing extreme weather events.

At least it won't be as far to get to in future ;)

Re: Climate Change - record World temp. rises in Feb.
 

Yes but the wooden tide breaks referred to encouraged deposits of sand which built up and increased land mass albeit slowly.

There was a time when there was no ice on Antarctica. Then Man came along.....

Re: Climate Change - record World temp. rises in Feb.
 

I have to say that The Independents' article doesn't explicitly say that climate change is the driver of this sudden change and this does match up with the original article (see here for link - https://www.pnas.org/content/early/2.../25/1906556116 PNAS article - nice!)

What's interesting here is that antarctic sea ice has been increasing over the years from 1978 to around 2014 at which point it suddenly dropped back to 1978 levels in 3 years. What it does illustrate is that the climate can change suddenly and surprisingly at a rate much faster than expected. Also that there is some correlation between sea ice changes and conditions further afield. However, that paper is very much saying what has happened, not why...

Here's another article about this research from New Scientist - https://www.newscientist.com/article...dont-know-why/

I have to say that the author of this paper has a hell of a CV! - https://science.gsfc.nasa.gov/sed/bi...re.l.parkinson

We might already past the point we can do anything, yet still we obsess with other trifling issues like Brexit. All of which will be an irrelevance at the end of the day as we keep ignoring the main threat to our future.

I don't think it's Greta who needs to drag her ass back to school...

Re: Climate Change - record World temp. rises in Feb.
 

Greta...........i’m Afraid has descended down the rabbit hole of “who gives a shit”. A lovely girl that will believe her own hype and achieve nothing.

Re: Climate Change - record World temp. rises in Feb.
 

If she had travelled in a manner that us mere mortals had the option of using, she might have been making a valid point.


As it is she highlighted the reason why air travel is required, and possibly more environmentally friendly. Eg how much fuel was used to transport supplies to the racing yacht, for the month or so of travelling both ways across the Atlantic? Not everybody has access to a multi-million yacht, complete with crew, and has a month to waste doing nothing. The list of resources used goes on and on. All so she could get on the telly.:rolleyes:

Re: Climate Change - record World temp. rises in Feb.
 

She was already on the TV before she went...

Re: Climate Change - record World temp. rises in Feb.
 

So she made no TV appearances as a result of the hypocritical, meaningless, and totally pointless journey? Did the story inadvertently leak out, or was it promoted headline news?

Re: Climate Change - record World temp. rises in Feb.
 

So, you don't believe in science then?

Re: Climate Change - record World temp. rises in Feb.
 

Who mentioned Greta? As far as I'm aware, she's not a member of the WMO who produced the report.

All I hear is a load of grumpy old men annoyed that they might be wrong, and that the young people might be right.

Re: Climate Change - record World temp. rises in Feb.
 

She could have just glued herself to the road,that seems to be the in thing.

Re: Climate Change - record World temp. rises in Feb.
 

So what did she or the earlier(ie not this one) conference actually achieve? Apart from an awful lot of CO2 emissions.:rolleyes:

Link

Several people travelled by plane, just so she could sail across.:confused: That is way beyond hypocritical.

Re: Climate Change - record World temp. rises in Feb.
 

A strange question from someone who observably doesn’t want them to achieve anything anyway.

So much hate directed at a child. What a sad world.

Re: Climate Change - record World temp. rises in Feb.
 

Nothing is directed against the child,it's the lefty mob that is using her to push their agenda that come under fire.
In his tweet, D'Souza asserted that Thunberg is being used as a political pawn to further the liberal agenda.

Re: Climate Change - record World temp. rises in Feb.
 

yes, liberal agenda, lefty mob, blah de blah.... recycle the same daily fail garbage daily

Meanwhile the planet continues to warm with devastating consequences. What's the Daily Fail doing about that ?

Except they aren't addressing the point, they're attacking the person.

Are white people not allowed to make points in case they look like old posters? An odd hot take.

Re: Climate Change - record World temp. rises in Feb.
 

When you resort to posting views from such people, you have to ask questions about how skewed your world view is. I am not sure if you just constantly soak up the right wing propaganda from the Express, Mail, Guido, etc or if you actually have done some research on your own?

Don't be gullible and regurgitate the lies, do some research, read the science and analyse the evidence.

Re: Climate Change - record World temp. rises in Feb.
 

I don't colour code people so not sure what your point is:shrug:

Well we should have left already, and could now be focusing on other things such as this.

Disgust, not hate, imho.

If you record anyone speaking forcefully at 50 frames per second for a number of minutes, or snap hundreds of reactions to what’s going on around them, somewhere in there will be select photos for your hate piece.

Disgust, as in disgusted the cameras moved away from her.:D More than a single frame, that just happens to coincide with him coming into view. Even the BBC took the stance that she was just more than a little bit annoyed.
Independent

A face like thunder from Trump stealing her thunder.

Re: Climate Change - record World temp. rises in Feb.
 

I think if someone is entering the world of politics then challenging their politics is fair game but there is something very disturbing about the fully grown men attacking the appearance and the autism of a 16 year old girl.

Re: Climate Change - record World temp. rises in Feb.
 

Individals are irrelevant ( but good on Greta I say). Those that have their heads in the sand will use anything to divert from the issue and the facts we all ignore. Still we'll worry about pot holes more, or our next package holiday. We're one of the most selfish generations ever I'm afraid. Previous generations may also have a part, but they didn't know the consequences, we do but we carry on regardless.

Re: Climate Change - record World temp. rises in Feb.
 

Good for raising awareness, but one person won't change it. It's the very structure of society that needs to change. Worldwide.

Re: Climate Change - record World temp. rises in Feb.
 

It does say a lot about the character & personality of the people who attack such a person. These sad but dangerous people do not attempt to disprove what this girl is saying, rather they resort to character assassination.

The only positive thing is that the more they attack her, the more people will realise how small minded and backward looking they are. The planet needs action now, on a global scale and this girl is trying to communicate this message.

I do think that we have reached a point where Climate Change deniers are now is the same category as Flat Earthers. The main difference, however, is that they are a danger to our collective future.

Re: Climate Change - record World temp. rises in Feb.
 

Agreed. A bit like being in charge of a cigarette company in the 1970s when you knew the damsge they caused but still carried on marketing them.

'start eating babies' to solve climate crisis
:eh:
“We’re not going to be here for much longer because of the climate crisis.

“We only have a few months left. I like that you support the green deal but getting rid of fossil fuels is not going to solve the problem fast enough.

“Our Swedish professors are saying that we can eat dead people but that’s not fast enough.

“So I think your next campaign slogan has to be this: we’ve got to start eating babies.
“We don’t have enough time. There’s too much CO2. All of you, you are a pollutant.

“Too much CO2. We have to start now, please. You are so great, I’m so happy that you really support the new green deal but it’s not enough you know.

“Even if we were to bomb Russia we still have too many people, too much pollution.

“So we have to get rid of the babies, that’s a big problem.

“We need to eat babies. This is very serious, please give a response.”

Dressed in a yellow poncho, the effigy had Greta's pigtail braids with a sign in English saying "Greta is your God".
