Climate Change Debate

Protest creates change, it always has and always will.

If we end up with an authoritarian Farage government, it's not because of JSO or XR, or any other group, it's because the press and the elite classes are doing what they always do - stomping on the ordinary people, redirecting them away from the reasons for their shit lives, and creating the very division and hatred that you think is driven by peaceful protest. Not protesting because it'll upset the rule makers misses the point entirely - that's the stated aim and the only way major change has ever been achieved
 
A lot of truths in there but think you’re underestimating the negative effects of the actions already argued to death.

That’s fair enough, not going to change any minds at this stage so no point in going round in circles any more.

I’ll take a reasonable place to bail out.
 
The idea that progressive causes need to temper their activism, and that they'll get better results by fading into the background and trying not to upset anyone, seems to be ignorant of a) the specific power relationships in UK politics and b) the history and mechanisms behind all progressive change in this country.
 
But if you are happy with the status quo then the suggestions make perfect sense.
 
I love ideas like this

"It's fantastic because it's eco-friendly...We're not burning any gases," says Terrence Bridges.

Why spend resources heating things when instead you can consume someone elses by-product. On a larger scale and with the impending AI revolution requiring ever more data centres being needed. Swimming pools seem like obvious candidates for this kind of arrangement
 
Choosing to use energy sources that are more polluting, more expensive, and need to be bought from awful regimes in Russia and the ME is stupid even by Reforms standards, even before you get onto the climate change angle.
 
It was very hot down south last week. QLD was only in the mid thirties but parts of Melbourne and Sydney must have been insane. Parramatta for instance is quite concrete jungle and it can get stupid hot there.
