    Yup,i likened you to an atheist vicar,your preaching but you don't have 100% belief,get your wife an inflatable boat,no wet feet,your a typical save-the-whale save-Tibet save-the-world sheeple.
    Think of all the carbon she wouldn't leave in her footprints :D
    Glad I added to your vocab :D get your self off the net,gather some edibles from your vegetable garden,start walking with your tribe,junk your cell-phone along the way,head east of south,get a mud-hut in Kenya or shack up in a cave in the Himalayas,negate your carbon footprint to as low as possible,then maybe you can preach with authority :lol:

    We are not preaching but posting on a public forum about concerns which a lot of people have started to protest about in public.

    The comments about "what do you drive" can apply to all of us as we need to get to work. Likewise we have wives, fiancées or girlfriends in or from the Philippines and we all know that planes are the only viable means of transport to get there.
    The fact is that governments are not doing enough to avert a global crisis and any demonstration or action to promote the lack of positive steps is welcome.
    Public demonstrations are one way of focussing people to think ahead so, you see, some of us here are addressing the issue.

    Anyone who has children should surely see how the climate is getting extreme and think about what future is in store for our loved ones.
    If there are people who think this is "preaching", well they have a right to think that but everyone's minds have been focussed by the protestors' beliefs and this is the raison d'être of Extinction Rebellion.

    I would never watch a Michael Jackson video, for obvious reasons.

    This ks not a climate change or eco warrior forum. The clue is in the name. Just recently we have been literally bombarded by XR propaganda posted by you and Keith. One or two threads would have been fine but oh no, we have read reams and reams of your holier-than-thou "message" .

    And you say you're not preaching!! Ha!!

    The internet is one of the problems, it is directly responsible for something is in the region of 2 to 3 percent of total world carbon emissions, however probably rather a lot more when the economic activity required to manufacture the devices and infrastructure is taken into account.

    The yacht she is travelling in represents a huge amount of energy investment, everything on the planet has an embodied energy carbon footprint and an operational footprint, the yacht's operational footprint is small, the operational footprint of the internet is huge.

    Making simplistic suggestions and calling people hypocrites is not really helpful.

    Anyway it's too late no amount of protesting is going to save the environment we have now, we are on a course to a very different new environment that will be unable to support the current 7 billion on the planet and absolutely unable to support the projected numbers of people expected to inhabit this place in the next 30 years, when it all falls apart it will happen quite fast, so make the most of it while you can.

    Some people think the issue is too important to sweep under the rug.

    You never give up the ad hominem attacks but no doubt you'll get away with them; me not so much. Such is the bias here.

    While I agree that massive change is ahead (still not understood by most here ) What we do now will have the potential to mitigate the effect and experience, Im not attached to my own survival but anything I can to to increase the (slim) chance of life on the planet surviving is not optional and If just one more person here wakes up and joins in then that will help rather than hinder

    Hallem suggests we need 3.5% of the population to act for rapid social change to take place and it has to start where we are in this case the UK
