Just Stop Oil Week Long Disruption.

This particular group of useful idiots are going further alienate people who work for a living, the loved ones of those that died because emergency services were held up, hard pushed parents trying to get the kids to school and just about everyone who is doing things they have to do to get by.
These climate warriors apparently just materialise at their protest locations without the use of any form of transport and obviously have never struggled to make a living, because if they had they would not be free on working days to carry out their Greta style climate tantrums.

I don't mind a little disruption for a good cause, not everyone works 9-5, alot of us on lower incomes work odd and irregular hours - and how many schools are in the region of Trafalgar Square? So people are late. Pffft.

But I do think they could be better targeting their disruptions...

The most comprehensive study of global climate inequality ever undertaken shows that this elite group, made up of 77 million people including billionaires, millionaires and those paid more than US$140,000 (£112,500) a year, accounted for 16% of all CO2 emissions in 2019 – enough to cause more than a million excess deaths due to heat, according to the report.

Based on your reply I would say you don't live in London.

I wouldn't say the vast majority of Londoners "live" in London, most, these days I expect are merely existing.

Lol, yeah 'cos that's what it is about.

The corporate shares of many super-rich are highly polluting. This elite also wield enormous and growing political power by owning media organisations and social networks, hiring advertising and PR agencies and lobbyists, and mixing socially with senior politicians, who are also often members of the richest 1%, according to the report.

In the US, for example, one in four members of Congress reportedly own stocks in fossil fuel companies, worth a total of between $33m and $93m. The report says this helps to explain why global emissions continue to rise, and why governments in the global north provided $1.8tn to subsidise the fossil fuel industry in 2020, contrary to their international pledges to phase out carbon emissions.

Gore was wrong to dumb it down for the US. No one appreciates being spoken down to.

Gore was wrong ...

I agree with this.

He didn't need to be wrong or right. He just needed to do some polished fear mongering and show some sad eyed baby polar bears, knowing that there is a significant portion of the population that are easily manipulated by those things.

The thing is though, those ULEZ cameras only charge people with vechicles older than 2018, so it’s those who can’t afford newer cars that have to pay. The wealthy who can afford newer cars no matter how gas guzzling they are, don’t have to pay anything.

Not to mention carbon credits, you have heard about that scam right? Just offset your climate emissions by buying carbon credits…

Sorry but the green agenda and having everything electric isn’t about saving the environment, they don’t care about pollution never have, it’s about monitoring everything people do and consume paving the way for ESG scores and social credits.

This would appear to be confirmation of what I suggested and a dodge combined.

I'm not certain that the reply you replied to has any relevance to the thread.

Its my opinion that in the future this generation will be laughed at for allowing ourselves to be so easil and so thoroughly duped. a reply to: AllisVibration

You're not going to get any sympathy from me regarding cars. I see absolutely no necessity for personal vehicles, other than the pedal variety.

As I said though, I think the "disruption" is poorly directed.

Less of a dodge, more of a dismissal.

If you only want the opinion of London residents go stand on a crate on Hyde Park Corner.

I wanna know who is funding these idiots, this isn't organic, and they appear to have some capital at their disposal. I suspect it's companies like GE and Honda who have made some insane zero emissions pledge. One of these guys has been seen at numerous protests and he's always wearing a pair of $500 Jordan's and thousand dollar jackets.

This is controlled opposition and the people participating are payed actors.

I never said I didn't want your opinion instead I suggested that it seemed ill informed.

Tell the climate warriors their Internet will also be down during that week, because no maintenance services will be available.

(They DO realize things like internet and electricity don’t magically come out of the wall, and it takes people with big scary trucks and fuel to keep it all going. Right??)

That could well be the central question. The WEF seems to be popular favourite to be blamed for all things global. The cynic in me leans towards the thinking that if we've heard of them then it's probably some other entity not known to us that's behind it all.

Why because there are lots of schools around Trafalgar Square? Are there?

Do the emergency services not know how to use their sirens in London?

The disruption is pretty minimal. I don't have any particular sympathy for this group, but I respect that they make the effort.
