Climate protesters

It took me 2 hrs 30mins to get to work today because of climate protesters climbing the qe2 bridge (Thames major crossing)
How this benefits the climate sitting in traffic for an extra 2hrs I don't know

Let's see how the green renewable energy works out for the people of Europe etc in the coming months....
The green party here wants to lower the age to vote to pick up some freshly brainwashed 16 yo students....

Jeeezzzz!

I think anyone blocking traffic and stopping emergency services from getting through should get life in prison
That person in the ambulance that can't get to hospital etc
Maybe it'll be one of their family members one day

Recently (the greens and co) also removed a portrait of Winston Churchill that has been on the wall in our parliament for years....I think they feel threatened by his presence...

Totally agree 100%

Time to run these looney lefties that indoctrinate our kids...out of town

They have already sought GREENER pastures. Well ORANGE ones anyway. Now they toss paint on Van Gogh's painting and their
mates are over at the Co-op dumping milk on the floor. THAT is surely going to save the planet!
...ever notice how almost all of them look a bit odd like the gene lottery didn't exactly pay out for them?

If they genuinely want to do something about pollution they need to get over to India or China
See how they get on there

The major cause of all this pollution is from over population. Perhaps we could convince them that killing themselves is in the best interest of the planet.

Those stupid F*%£kers that glue themselves to trains & airliners to protest should be be given ten minutes to remove their useless carcasses from their vehicle of choice, then told in no uncertain terms that if they haven't, the train/plane will be setting off with them still attached.

I dont see why the bridge should be closed because those idiots have climbed up the cable, just leave them there until they get cold or hungry enough to come down and in the meantime, let the traffic pass.

The Police need to take action against the people blocking the roads. News reports have shown drivers trying to get past and tempers fraying, it is only a matter of time before someone gets hurt.

I presume the 'protestors' are tweeting their virtue on mobile phones made in Chinese factorys and sold by an American mega corporation? Possibly relying on 'brain frying' 5G signal to get their 'message' out?

The f#@&@rs are still up there as far as I know
And that's from 3.50 am today
It's absolutely ridiculous,I don't mind anyone protesting but not when it impacts on someone else
Imagine if your son or daughter or mother or father died in an ambulance because they couldn't get to hospital?
Disgusting !

They better be gone by Friday

I usually have to hose blood off the van at the end of the day..... A bit more won't hurt!

Perhaps the Police should get up with the protesters and super glue the protesters
hands and perhaps their b*llocks" to the bridge. They would be safe from falling and
the traffic can safely flow under them.

Hence why its important for logical thinking parents to get involved in your local school boards to stop this madness from growing....if they want to stop pollution tell them to clean up some of the mess including their bedrooms
Climate brainwashing needs to curtailed

Meanwhile.....Britain's economy is going down the toilet...along with the rest of us....

It always somewhat concerns me that somehow concern for the environment seems to stir people to use terms like brainwashing and loony left etc. And the same people who complain about brainwashing want to curtail alternative ideas they may not agree with. Seems a little hypocritical to me.

I'm very happy for my children to take an interest in such topics.

Human activity has most definitely altered the chemistry of the atmosphere. Increase in CO2 is a fact not an opinion. We do need to find ways to reduce human impact on the environment. Sea level rise is real. It's no use shouting and talking about brainwashing.

I don't think throwing soup over a painting or glueing yourself to a road actually works to change people minds. But to be honest when your young you do crazy stuff. I'd sooner they would do that than do ramraids or sell meth.

Where am I coming from? Firstly a Masters degree in Geology. I studied and worked with some of the scientists who are developing sea level curves, Antarctic ice sheet reduction, monitoring atmospheric change in ice cores etc. Some people accuse them of inventing data to get research funding. That's BS. I have known those guys for decades. They are straightup scientists and made up data would be called out very easily. Others say but the world was hotter and colder in the past. We are just seeing the same natural cycles. Guess what. Those same scientists are the ones who helped interpret the past. Of course they know there have been heating and cooling cycles in the past. But they are also the ones who have the data and training to determine that what is happening now is much faster and the impact on our current society will be very harsh.

And now I will be categorised as a bleeding lefty who eats nuts and spent his life in a commune somewhere.

But sorry guys. I worked almost my entire career as a petroleum engineer in oil and gas. Starting in the North Sea as a wellsite engineer and finishing as a Country Petroleum Engineering manager. I worked in Europe, South America, Central Asia, Eastern, Europe, SE Asia and NZ. I am a member of the Society of Petroleum Engineers and the Ammerican Association of Petroleum Geologist.

My training and experience has given me methods to find and interpret data. I have also had lots of experience working through work from other scientists and engineers and assessing the quality and validity of their interpretations.

So sorry guys.

Climate change is real. The science is real. Those young kids were not being particularly helpful but their fundamental message is correct.
