Talking about water . . .

remember when you drank water from the tap?

now damn near everyone is drinking it from (plastic) bottles. I wonder how much of an 'environmental impact' that has, considering the work involved to produce the bottles, bottle the water, and transport it all over the country . . not to mention disposing of the empties.

cue cries of "oooh but tap water tastes crap etc"

The plastic bottle is part of the rebellion's survival kit,like disposable tents,disposable cups, and Mcdonalds various burger meals.

There was some data released today from the Climate Accountability Institute in the US.

It doesn't really Den, by the time even the most dense realise there's a problem, it'll be too late. Climate Change can't be reversed overnight, unlike here today gone tomorrow politicians who see no further than the next election. Even if we made all the changes now, it would take decades to have an effect. That doesn't mean we should make those changes. If a deadly asteroid was heading for us they'd be running around no doubt... However the same result from each, utter devastation.

Increasingly this is what people are (re)doing. There has been a lot of attention to buying reusable water bottles, you see these: https://www.chillysbottles.com/uk around London a lot. There are also refillable water stations that give out free tap water for use in these refillable bottles.

I have a 'wasteful' 4x4 3ltr V6 diesel which is Euro6 compliant and it's emissions are less than many standard petrol and/or diesel saloon/hatchback cars. It's not a brand new car either....

Talk about making assumptions.....

Lol, a car and chauffeur that Piers sent ! Think the repulsive one must have had his travel disrupted this week, shame.

Re: Bunch of idiots
 

You have to be pretty gullible to take these crusties seriously. Do they not even appreciate that the UK is leading the way in its plans to go carbon neutral?

They should take their protest to one of the big polluters like China. I know what they would do with them!

Has anyone else noticed how the the MSM and Channel 4 News in particular, have been giving these upper middle class pompous Idiots positive air time whilst calling them Climate Change "ACTIVISTS", but when they covered the Brexit demonstration they were practically demonized and labeled Right Wing "PROTESTORS". Prime example of our impartial unbalanced news media.
