[Oldstacker]

She's 7 ffs, all seven year olds want to be actresses... I see she lives in Australia, well good luck with talking bollocks to that lot.....

Still her mum has done alright for herself having had a nine-year career as Teacher and Head of Drama at Fred Longworth High School and Performing Arts College in Tyldesley - a small town situated between Manchester and Wigan.....

Well of course they're only pretending.... They live & work in the real world ffs; where profit and making money to live on is a driver for everything, and anything that helps grow the $,£ or euros in the bank is worth espousing for as long as it makes more money and then pffft!. You don't HAVE to mean it while you do it!

Rejoice followers of the omnipotent St Greta she dances, she sings live on stage in front of her adoring masses

Greta Thunberg belts out Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up

Video shows Swedish activist Greta Thunberg singing as she launched a global series of concerts highlighting climate change, belting out Rick Astley's 1980s hit Never Gonna Give You Up.

I wonder what the carbon footprint of the concerts will be? Moving all the equipment, electricity and I doubt the adoring fans all walked or rode their bikes to the venue!

HOW DARE YOU!!!!!!!!!!


Your generation has stolen my childhood and now you want to steal my Buckie off me.

Being an eco warrior has its stresses and you choose to abuse whilst every day I am burning my soul for you- (in a carbon neutral and net zero way ) because every day I am saving the planet from the erupting volcanoes that have been caused by the use of trendy wood burning stoves.

St Greta speaking to the faithful drops the big "F" bomb. She's on the slippery slope to Buckie, fags, hard drugs and taking it up the wrong 'un .

"No more blah blah blah, no more whatever the f*** they are doing inside there"

Greta blasts leaders for 'whatever the f*** they are doing' at Cop26

Speaking to demonstrators outside the Cop26 summit in Glasgow, Greta Thunberg said: 'No more blaa blaa blaa, no more whatever the f*** they are doing inside there.'

She's a spoilt brat being manipulated and pandered to in ways which give her both an unhealthy opinion of herself and an unreal view of the realities of how governments have to contend with huge issues besides climate change - issues such as keeping their populations fed, healthy, safe, employed, & housed NOW let alone in 10 or 20 years time. The west are fully bought into the concepts of reducing emissions and reducing CO2 etc but are wrestling with the practical difficulties of doing so in competition with the other competing needs they must meet. Let her go and berate the other major world leaders such as Moscow & Beijing who aren't anywhere near COP 26 because a) they don't give a flying f**k about a Swedish teenager b) they don't much care about the rest of the planet or its future & c) are p*****g themselves laughing at the west destroying themselves because a spotty swede gets upset.

All imho, of course.

Had the radio on today, until I couldn’t cope anymore, there’s only one point of view allowed at the moment with regards Climate Change and no challenge is allowed.

The only challenge is where people don’t tow the line, and then you get both barrels.

I’m not a climate sceptic and I do what I can, however, the way this is dealt with by the press puts me off and the evangelism of some of the proponents pushes me further away. I’m not just engaged, not enough to watch GBN, or argue on twitter, however, I doubt I’ll be singing the causes praises either.

Good luck to Greta, however as an uneducated one trick pony she isn’t the messiah people think she is.

Same here and with big players like China not on board COP26 can't achieve a huge amount.
I'm not a sceptic, change is happening season by season and I do what I can though in the grand scheme of things my paltry efforts come to a very very small percentage of the figure needed to fix the problem.

Nett Zero is an unachievable goal to beat people with into submission. If the need to get this goal then remove housing planes cars roads sea freight horses herds sheep farming fishing and depopulate to manageable size even then control birth IVF DISABLED and only allow Eugenics. Seem to recall a similar language whether based in America for dystopia or maybe even older. De-educate the masses to control behaviour on a level where human sacrifice is a norm to serve Sun Gods. In the meantime await the next volcanoes to erupt Tornadoes Hurricanes Cyclones Tidal Waves Tsunami Asteroids Solar Burst. Or simply change a few things and advance and improve technology to betterment of humans and life to exist.

I had an interesting conversation with a member of a local council, involved in refuse collection; the summary of the topic was that often, the first sets of lorries on collection day are actioned, whereas others (when busy), go direct to landfill - even if bins are segregated into domestic waste and recycling or non recycled. Makes me wonder if my efforts are worth it in the great scheme of things.

 

[Oldstacker]

There was a recent story from the council in the media around here that 2 particular bin rounds have a much higher proportion of 'spoiled' recycling (i.e. inappropriate items in the blue bins) than the other rounds so the council are going to target their efforts on educating those areas. I'm guessing it isn't largely A1/B1/C1 socio economic groups who live in those areas.

Once a recycling load reaches a certain %age of inappropriate items then the whole load is rejected and must go to landfill (or other non-recycling disposal).

The harder you make it for people to 'do their bit' the less likely people (who are naturally lazy) will be to comply.
