Can you point out then where he said “twice” what he would do to reduce the population?

And to confirm a couple of posts appear to be edited and appear to be different from when I replied to them
Oh, I cant add something to my posts just after posting them. Didnt know that, thanks for pointing it out 🙄
If you refuse to read and digest my posts then I am at a bit of a loss how to reply. As i said, its more to do with pathetic trolling.
 
Are you basically asking socket to say a way to cull the current population rather than stop future overcrowding?

If that’s the case I’ll bite. Stop idiot proofing the world. If people want to run level crossings. Go for it. Natural selection. One less moron to cause pollution

SR said one of the biggest issues for the climate problem was the ever increasing population numbers and they need to be reduced - I just asked how he thinks that could be done , nothing to bite on , no trick question - it was nice and simple

And “idiot proofing” ?! Would you like to reduce the safety features in cars , brakes on bikes ?!

Nope just obvious over protection for the sake of it.
Warning hot on coffee cups.. if you don’t realise it’s hot what’s wrong with you.

I gave you two examples of what could be done but you ignored it.

You are just behaving like a numpty. If I said mankind had a problem with fossel fuels running out or antibiotics becoming ineffective would you expect me to have the solution. I gave you two ideas on population, one on encouraging lower birth rates and the one on education from David Attinborough, if that's not enough for you then I dont know what else to say.
 
Mmmm

This thread has popcorn potential.

I'll keep my eye on this for developments, keep the arguments and abuse flowing.

I personally recycle, use low energy lighting and constantly switch off lights after my kids. I also walk everywhere "locally" in the village. Not great but I guess every little helps.

It took you 4 posts to actually give those ideas - first it was “shall i paint a picture “ then “climate change will sort it “ then it was “It’s not my job that’s world leaders I’m just highlighting the problem “

All I asked was an opinion and you went on the defensive from the off as if I was looking for something - maybe a touch paranoid . And for someone who has complained a number of times about being insulted you don’t seem to have an issue throwing them around at others.

But I think it’s clear that there is zero point asking for your opinion on something if you are going to always think there is some other motive behind it

So if he answered you within 4 posts why did you continue to ask him? 27 post ago... what is it you say about playing the poster?
 
I "insert soo many swear words" hate these protesters. They are doing nothing to improve the environment. Please someone tell me if this protest changes anything save public opinion on them?

They are doing it to gain attention to their cause and get people talking about it. Mission accomplished.

Continue to ask him ? Or try and clarify what i was trying to ask him after he called me an idiot - I asked a simple question to a thought provoking comment which I thought was harmless expecting some debate points.

You received some responses but decided to keep asking for them. You are now in denial, how can you expect anyone to have a sensible debate with you when you act like this.
 
I have all but given up meat
I take public transport to work and walk to the shops and carry my food home.&
Yes i grow a selection of fruit an veg
I religiously turn as much stuff off in my house as I can rather than leave it on standby
I wear a jumper when its cold rather than turn the heating up
I ensure all my food is responsibly sourced and as local as possible, rather the stuff that flown half way round the world or caused a huge swath of rain forest to be destroyed to produce it.
I lobby my MP to get big business to make changes to how the
I go on rallies to get the message to others.

There is plenty more I could list if it makes you happier?

So what are you doing....

Ok,
So, i eat a lot less meat than i used to. I use public transport as much as l can (where l live its actually a lot more convenient than using "own transport."). We walk to the shops, & try to buy stuff with as little packaging as possible. We try to recycle everything we possibly can. I try to use as little energy as possible (turn off stuff etc as well as not turn it on in first place). Spent an entire working career, trying to persuade people to maintain & enhance the green environment. I try not to subscribe to the view that "its not worth it because few others are bothering" . I believe that each little bit helps

What l don't do, is something stupid like stick myself to a train and cause significant disruption and inconvenience to others in circumstances that wont make the blindest bit of difference. I also dont undertake stupid stunts to raise my own profile as an "activist".
 
LP you are in danger of taking over from Foxy as the forum pedant.

Why can’t you just accept people’s opinions , why do you have to dissect everything people say to the Nth degree?

It really kills threads and needs to stop

What I’ve read this evening is trolling, and goading pure and simple

Please stop, it isn’t pretty and I’m sure turns some prospective new members off joining the forum .

Where were we?

Oh yes , climate change protesters. They have a point, but by alienating the population at large, they are going to get the public turning against them.

As others have said , other countries are far bigger polluters than us, so maybe they should go protest there.

Really fancy some bacon now 👍
 
Ah I see, unsure. I know the UK got rid. Are China still on the one baby policy?

I agree I never understand why people even want more than 2 kids! But that’s their choice I guess

Or has free will got us into this situation?
That's dependant on the person I guess, I have 6 kids the reason why is beacuse they're all brilliant and bring joy to our family and each other. But flip side of that I question why some people people have any when I see how they parent their kids.

But along with having them the great thing is they're educated on this modern world. How to recycle, not using excessive power or water, they all walk to school or use a bike even the littlest ones it's a 40 minute walk to school for my youngest 3 and they do it it without complaining. This is the point we need to start at make small changes now so our kids can continue to make them as they grow and hopefully somehow their generation and subsequent ones will see the planet heal or prosper.
 
And what can I ask are all you doing to avert the catastrophe of climate change and the general destruction of the environment? or are you happy to sit back hope someone else fixes it?

We have an all electric car, do not use fossil fuel, cut down on eating beef and lamb - how about you?
 
Don't worry peeps
From the ''Got questions.org''.........

''Saving the planet is not within our power or responsibility. Climate change may or may not be real, and may or may not be human-caused. What we can know for certain is that God is good and sovereign, and that Planet Earth will be our habitat for as long as God desires it to be.''

Sorted :cool:
