I joined the Nature march . It was great , a diverse crowd. Friendly people. When I was younger l protested against the war on Iraq but now I'm older and disabled it's great to feel part of something positive.
You are so right about the need to make changes to help adapt to our already changed world. We live in a street where inadequate surface water and antiquated sewage systems regularly produce raw sewage running down the street. Both the water board and the highways argue about who should mend the damaged road and sort the problem. They council used to clean the road afterwards but now they don’t bother. No one wants to pay for putting it right and yet every pavement in the whole of our city has been dug up over the last year so we could have new faster broadband. No one asked for this but some people made money from the vast expenses incurred I don’t doubt.
I agree with everything you've said here! That being said strategically you really need to try and include working class voices, perspectives, and concerns. Sadly a lot of people see you as posh trouble makers.
There's loads of working class people involved, you just don't get to see them. The posh are able to use their financial privilege and sacrifice their freedom in a way working class can't which is why you often hear posher accents. The media present it as a dismissal but it's people stepping up
If. Someone holding a card outside a court building. Results in arrest due to they say interfering with jury. Then If people crowd around a murderer in a van shouting to hang them or similar not the same thing . Resulting in arrest..
The Southwark case is not over yet!!!! I have made representations for it! Including now getting the SRA involved. None of you fully understand the law on this nor the judges. The Human rights act and criminal procedure rules are not being followed correctly. Why is it that i have been right with the Stonehenge Tunnel case and multiple Stop Ulez cases and others for privileges. Its been done the basis at Southwark already... It is same as with Alistair McCreath and Patrick Gibbs. Nothing is different. The offence / crime doesnt matter because its not the issue. The fact that Christopher Hehir is in contempt is his problem... And i intend to get it corrected!! If i am taking balls then why have the CPS vanished Arletts case?? They now say there is none 😂😅 after my complaint... I wouldnt mind but there are results just that i get no credit 😂😅 I dont know why you are still pushing this Publicb order act 😂 its N/A only for gangs and Youths. You wont listen 😅😅😅
I was unaware of the judge reducing a sentence do to overcrowding. I was astounded by his judgment statement. In part it said, "And your fanaticism makes you entirely heedless of the rights of your fellow citizens. You have taken it upon yourselves to decide your fellow citizens MUST SUFFER DISRUPTION AND HARM, they must suffer simply so that you may parade your views." Emphasis is mine. WTF, disruption and harm? What is more disruptive than what's to come? Hubris or maybe they're trying to kill us all.
Dave, what crystal ball are you reading from? Similar to fairground fortune tellers with as much accuracy. There is no climate crisis nor can we live without oil, gas coal whatever unless we revert to medieval ways of living. Don't think that renewables will do the job of conventional generation, they can't and Mr Milliband is going to prove it with his aims. Then there is the eighty percent or so that electrcity doesn't provide that heats our homes, runs industry provides pharmaceuticals, ad infinitum. Fossil fuels keep us in afairly comfortable existence, the, as the Judge rightly called fanatics. Worse, fanatics who are so ignorant of how the world works, and have been brainwashed about our climate, that they are a danger to the rest of us.
And yet the violent, malevolent and abhorrent rioting of the right wing mob is lauded as just and true. Yet symbollically blocking a road temporarily invites incarceration for months and years.
The original paper on Atmospheric Rivers or as they were originally termed Troposhperic Rivers is doi:10.1029/92GL02916. A paper quantifying or qualifying the magniture of these is doi:10.1175/BAMS-D-18-0023.1
18:38 Agreed on "greenhouse gas emissions create an existential threat to human beings and society". Let's address the threat of the greenhouse gas "effect" by avoiding to present "it" as a "climate change" thing, use "greenhouse gas effect" (or similar) instead and make sure that the responsibility of creating the existential threat directly links to greenhouse emissions instead of aiming for a wider and broader concept of long-term climate change and shifts in temperatures that can be perceived as safe and natural if the "speed of change" is not taken in consideration.
You can choose which result best fits your needs: - Stop climate change now! - Stop the greenhouse gas effect now! Which one of the above addresses best the threat we face, created by greenhouse gas emissions? Animals and other organisms, will be the most affected by the greenhouse effect and we need to "control emitters". There is no other way. The world ultimately needs to have control over the business of emissions.
30:11 The climate is a friend, if that friend changes, is to keep life in the biosphere in balance. A "climate protest" sends a weaker message than a "greenhouse gas effect protest", an "anti emissions protest", a "pro renewable protest". To hope that the climate doesn't change is so egocentric, it's like one hopes that an injured person doesn't cry, nor bleeds. Instead, to hope that the greenhouse gas effect is controlled, is to aim for International cooperation, after sorting nationally the control over emissions and therefore over the agreed "number one threat to society" 18:38 and to the biosphere in its entirety for many generations to come.
People can lecture on climate while eating meat, and do. There's a massive spectrum on diet and it's not just concrete. Many are on a journey towards plant based.But we won't see veganism overnight.Meat eating will move to cultured meat and milk if only because the climate impacts will kill most livestock and the feed/ grazing. It also means growing veg will change a lot too
I support Just Stop Oil in principle but to say an action that will stop ambulances , fire engines , police cars , doctors and surgeons from reaching their destinations is harmless is completely ridiculous . If you can't do the time , don't do the crime .
There is a blue light policy for all climate action. Climate activists include nurses doctors paramedics etc. Climate impacts are already hurting and killing people. It's odd to feel outrage about hypothetical detrimental effect when there are traffic jams every single day on motorways causing the same disruption. Also no real outrage about lack of emergency ambulances or the queues of ambulances unable to unload patients outside A+E which have led to a staggering number of patients dying .
