The trouble is, as soon as you start laying down rules & regulations you will alienate some people.
Those people are 'likely' to be the ones with money . . the ones who holiday abroad 2 or 3 times a year, drive flash cars (4x4's), and quite possibly have a business that may be impacted by any new regs. Then there's the power/fuel industry, if they have to spend £millions to conform, guess who gets a price hike. We're already seeing the knock on effect in the motor trade . . |

It's solar panels that are becoming much more effective. The exciting thing about those is the idea they be spread out generating small amounts of electricity across the entire grid amounting to quite a bit.

Everybody has a right to protest as long as its peaceful and respectful but protesting on public transport was pretty foolhardy IMO although using physical force is unacceptable nevertheless whatever side it comes from.

Scenario: You stand watching as a scrote is breaking into your car with the probable intention of stealing it. do you: a) ring the police, wait 40 minutes for them to arrive, 2 days for them to find the car burnt out, and a letter from your insurance saying it's invalid now as you made no attempt to stop the theft. b) smack his head into the roof of your car 5 times while he was resisting a 'citizens arrest' c) ask him for permission to take his photo so the police can trace him and slap his wrist |

Pointless point... no comparison between the two scenarios. Are you going to go and pull a truck driver from his cab and try and hit him because him and a convoy are staging a go slow protest on the motorway? Would you go and pull a farmer out of his tractor if him and a group of farmers staged a go slow on a dual carriageway? Of course you wouldn't as you would probably get your head caved in by said truck driver or farmer.... I'm not justifying what XR did it was wrong, but the individuals who responded to them in the manner in which they did are just as bad, if not arguably worse. ---------- Post added at 14:27 ---------- Previous post was at 14:24 ---------- Quote:

In the absence of an adequate police response, people have to do what is necesary to get things moving again. You do have a serious issue with double standards.... |

Two different people were assaulted, in one instance a group of people call for prosecution. In the next instance the assault is justified because they inconvenienced people. No, people do not have to do what is necxesary to get things moving again. What happened to the public was at best an inconvenience that’s all. No commuters were injured nor assaulted by members of XR It does not justify the perpetrators being assaulted. For you to suggest that they deserve it just demonstrates how low some levels of society have sunk too regarding their moral compass. |

The police are damned if they do and damned if they don't.
However, this is not a beauty contest. They should just do their jobs and enforce the law before more people take it into their own hands. ---------- Post added at 09:39 ---------- Previous post was at 09:34 ---------- Quote:

One man climbing on top of a tube train in the morning rush hour does a whole lot more than inconvenience a few people. He puts lives in danger by holding up one of the busiest metro services in the world when the platforms are already crowded. The platform at this and other stations becomes overcrowded, as do the streets outside, making business harder for everyone, including the emergency services who have had no opportunity to plan for an illegal, unexpected action. He traps people on trains that back up behind the one he’s sitting on causing who knows what consequences - especially if the risky measure of evacuating people down the tracks becomes necessary. Eventually he also risks the safety of those whose job it is to forcibly remove him. The protestors were extremely irresponsible and thoroughly dim witted, disrupting the electrically operated mass transit system that London relies on to limit exhaust emissions into the city air. |

Offence is Offence no matter what the circumstances, as mrmistoffelees says.
However, some situations, for example confronting a large group of frustrated and time conscious people going about their everyday business, could be looked upon as self inflicted . . . or even suicidal ;) |

All sorts of factors impact on climate, and I retain a healthy scepticism as to whether carbon is the cause. The atmosphere currently comprises 0.04% of carbon and some people are making a fortune out of carbon trading, etc. Go figure. |

For all we know, it might be that with the cleaner air we are breathing following the industrial revolution, more sunlight is getting through, allowing the recovery from the mini-ice age to resume. By the way, the mini-ice age was not our fault - it was absolutely natural. So why is 'global warming' our fault? More questions than answers, as usual. |

You seem to be confusing "scientific theory" with "an idea that someone had" - a scientific theory is " an explanation of an aspect of the natural world that can be repeatedly tested and verified in accordance with the scientific method, using accepted protocols of observation, measurement, and evaluation of results.". |

CO2 levels do cause a greenhouse effect, that is basic physics but I guess the question is do the amounts of atmospheric CO2 contribute to warming and, if yes, how much is needed to have an effect? There is also a good correlation between CO2 levels and temperatures but correlation does not always indicate causation. There are studies using new information sciences which do show a one way linkage - https://www.nature.com/articles/srep21691 but it can be argued that this is just another type of statistics... I guess the big questions are;

Don't get me wrong, we should take notice of what scientists say, but then apply the common sense test. I don't know what you mean by testing climate theory. There are too many variables as to how climate works for anyone to be sure, and climate models are designed with certain assumptions added in which might be false. Rubbish in, rubbish out, as they say. Climatologists have been caught out a few times about their alarmist predictions and we need to think about these things before we blindly accept what they say. I'd like to be able to believe scientists without question, but I'm afraid they no longer have my trust. |
Re: Climate Change - record World temp. rises in Feb.
I read an interview somewhere recently where a prominent "scientist" claims there are only abut 100 "true scientists" worldwide, whilst the rest are statisticians, lab techs, collators, etc.

The people at the time were working on the information they had at the time (except Erlich, who was a scaremonger and was just getting publicity for his books) - we have much more extensive datasets and computing power to forecast probabilities now. I suppose you could be right - 97% of climate scientists are pulling a scam, and if it wasn't for those plucky little mining and energy companies fighting the good fight against Big Science, they would be getting away with wanting us, and our children, clean air and water, and cheaper renewable energy... ;) |

I think Tesla are just about there with their range and proprietary rapid charging network but you pay quite a premium for it. As for the rest of them, a Leaf sounds practical most of the time, most of the year, but I hear horror stories about them in the dead of a Scottish winter. The range just vanishes. I take a 250 mile road trip probably twice a year and I’d be happy enough to do it with a 40 minute charging break in the middle. I like to recharge with caffeine anyway. But occasionally - rarely, but occasionally - I go further. As things stand I could drive right down to the south coast in one day in whatever car I happened to own without any problems. Nobody is going to persuade me that in future, being able to go on a long distance road trip is a privilege to be enjoyed only those who can afford a premium car. |
