Or if they really care about demonstrating their obsession with apocalypse porn, they should go over and plant themselves in front of the Chinese Communist Party HQ's, outside the Kremlin or on Bolsanaros campaign trail. I suspect if they did, they wouldn't be returning to the UK. I'm really not convinced lying down on the M25 will have much impact.

Yeah whatever happened to his water cannons Khan sold them off, they weren't duds either I think there was some doubt on the legality of using them. These XR types are going to get removed by the public sooner or later people aren't going to wait 3 or 4 hours for the police to do their jobs.

Anyone still think the economically catastrophic floating windmill, net zero agenda from this dreadful Conservative government, propped up by the shambolic Labour government, is a good idea?
A total and utter scam that will cost the working people of this country dearly.

A total and utter scam that will cost the working people of this country dearly. If we don't tackle climate change, you'd best prepare yourself for lots more Ukraine type scenarios. Crops fail, people migrate in their millions, geo-political tensions rise, conflict and war increases. What's going on in Ukraine is a handy indicator of precisely what is likely to happen if we do nothing. Just to be clear, the war in Ukraine is nothing to do with climate change - I'm simply pointing out that such awful events become more likely. Again, it doesn't have to cost the working people of this country dearly, in much the same way that the NHS doesn't have to be constantly underfunded or energy prices have to become unaffordable or £15bn has to get written off on Covid fraud. These are choices about the way the country is run and managed. This is the fifth largest economy in the world, worth £2 trillion. There's plenty of money swilling around the country, more than enough to sort out all the country's problems, let's not pretend that there isn't. Unfortunately, there is no political will to do so. I think you can probably rest easy. There is no way net zero will be achieved in this country because the government isn't prepared to take the measures that it would require ie redistribution of wealth away from a small minority to benefit us all. I'd prepare yourself for lots more international strife if I were you.

Oh, and a big water tank with a non energy using immersion heater dangling in it, a bit like the set up you had in the 70s.

A total and utter scam that will cost the working people of this country dearly. I think everyone knows we must do something to tackle our impact on the earth and energy, but the current tactic by the government is costing working people dearly. Given we are in a cost of living crisis, the government needs to drop all green levies/taxes to give the people some relief. Even better would be for the government to grow some balls and pump some money into engineering projects to help tackle this - we are decades too late in developing more nuclear for a start. Imagine the Billions spent on Covid went to developing our energy and electric vehicle infrastructure! Pushing people of the UK into energy poverty and all the rest of it isn't the way to tackle climate change when other areas of the world sit there and do nothing.

A total and utter scam that will cost the working people of this country dearly. We’ve got green levies and VAT to contend with, then we buy our gas and oil overseas and run down our own production to pretend we’re green. I noticed ‘green’ activists at a cost of living demo in Hanley, despite the irony that going green is hitting us in the pocket (when it need not). We’ve got the nonsensical scenario where giant resource gobbling SUV hybrids are green, but a modest one litre car isn’t. Apparently electric cycles are now more green than walking. There’s a lot of ‘good ideas club’ thinking and not a lot that makes sense. Green policy is effectively treating the symptoms not the cause, population reduction is the way ahead. I suspect that the pseudo socialism of the greens, will be as ever to maintain middle class privilege. Can’t let the naughty working classes be aspirational now?

Bang on the money....... and to further the impracticality of it all, the infrastructure on land to become net zero in terms of storage and distrubtion simply isnt there.....raise taxes thats the way but weve discussed this before and that will never happen so good luck to you all ! Come and live in NL with me - its great over here !

If you don't like it then you need to come up with an alternative. That can be one of several. The Greens say its not going far enough fast enough and have a vision of a 'Green' world that's not to everyone's liking but may become more attractive as the consequences of doing nothing become ever more apparent. At the other end there are the 'don't give a fuck' mob - who again at least have a vision - we all die anyway so we may as we do it enjoying fast cars and cheap holiday. It's the 'Power Not Poverty' lot (Farage, Baker and the NZSG et al) I struggle with - Tories who vote down benefit increases but claim to worry about 'the poor' when it comes to fossil fuels and taxation. They claim not to be climate change deniers but as far as I can see offer no credible alternatives to addressing it while conflating 'green' taxes with exponential rises in electricity and gas costs which are actually caused by wholesale prices rising in the face of supply issues (which ironically strengthens the case for renewables). It seems the usual suspects have got out the populist Brexit playbook again for another day in the sun - well fellas just as that showed you hadn't got a fucking clue 'what next' once a 'Leave' vote had been secured you're equally clueless about 'what next' with climate change - so either put up or shut up. NB - in reference to an earlier poster population growth is definitely a massive issue and the elephant in the room. However I suspect our overly fecund PM who seems unable to conduct an accurate census on even the fruits of his own loins is not the ideal champion for breaking that particular taboo.

The massive rises in energy prices being seen right now are due to the increases in prices of fossil fuels. The best chance of preventing this happening over and over is to reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
The green movement didn't shut the UK pits and switch to imported coal, the British public did by wanting cheaper energy. The North Sea gas was always going to get more expensive as reserves got harder to get at. Nuclear remains an expensive option -cost has far more influence than environmentalists in its use in the UK.
Net zero ain't happening, but if anyone other than the Farage (just about the only politician in the UK who can claim to be a bigger twat than Johnson), Trump, still thinks that the future lies in fossil fuels from Russia, China and the Middle East then they deserve whatever price hike they get at the next geopolitical crisis. And that's without climate change even coming into it.

He's not daft, Farage, he knows what buttons to press to ensure he enjoys he gets enough days in the limelight. You'd think with Brexit people might have seen through what he's about, but I suspect not.
