Re: Hypercrits Cop-Out

How strange, all those people attending the conference could not agree on all points raised. Did anyone expect them to? Is anything going to come out of it? Points discussed have already been watered down. I wonder how much the whole kit and caboodle has cost and who pays. This being the 26th Conference of the Parties I had a quick look to see if the previous 25 resolved anything? All I can find is that the attendees agreed something had to be done, and this was the decision reached year after year. Whoopee-do!

As for Australia, it really is a case of ‘don’t do as I do, do as I say’. Coal mining will continue, of course it will - it brings in a lot of money. Australia is, or so I believe from what I have read, the second biggest exporter of coal in the world. Big money earner. Why shoot the cash cow that is giving the most milk, even if it is also emitting a lot of methane.

The biggest producers of emissions cannot agree because it would have huge financial impact.
But the UK who produces about 1% of emissions is going to make attempts at going for a zero output by 2050.
They want us to give up gas cooking, gas heating for what are seen as greener options.
Now the UK has an awful lot of old houses…houses from the Victorian era….totally unsuitable for these homes to use heat exchangers….nor are these houses suitable for having electric power points for charging electric vehicles.
Then there are the high rise flats…..again not suitable for these eco solutions.
But yet, the governments will pursue these goals….but the people who will pay the cost of this will be us…so prepare to have your pockets picked.

Quite agree, but everyone seems to avoid this massive "Herd of Nelliphants" in the room rather conspicuously. Can't feed them, don't breed them, the state (your average put upon taxpayer) should not have to foot the bill for others frolics & fecundity.



I does appear that there are some out there that tend to make a living out of permanently whelping or being enceinte.

Re: Hypercrits Cop-Out

Don’t worry…. the population issue is being addressed by Bill Gates and his cohorts…who think that vaccinating children in third world countries is a better option than digging wells to provide clean water.

The vaccinations offered by Gavi are for the diseases caused by dirty water.

And maybe vaccinating children all over the world is the way to ensure that there is less breeding in the future.
I know that this view will be seen by some as being contentious….but if it is happening….how do you prove twenty years down the line, that it was vaccine damage and not the result of global climate change…micro plastics in everything we come into contact with.

Yes…that is right….you can’t.

Re: Hypercrits Cop-Out

Enceinte eh, I couldn't even find the word it in my Collins Senior Dictionary but Google came to the rescue, so for all those not quite as educated as Dave, one meaning is "Archaic".
Be careful with the permanently whelping Dave, the thought police are watching.

An interesting point you raise there Ma, Mr.Gates seems to be rather prolific in his portfolio for someone who made their vast wealth initially from a computer operating system. Philanthropist or Social engineer? It is a very thin line that divides the two positions.

As I've mentioned elsewhere Tads, big slopey shoulders mate, the vitriol & hatred just roll off 'em. I shall fight the good fight aganst illiberal liberals, lunatic lefterists, bed wetting whiny self/nation loathing wokerists, & whip out the blowtorch for the wilting Snowies of this world so long as I can hold breath in my body.

I think he is a social engineer who masquerades as a philanthropist…because that gives him the cloak of respectability….but I would not trust that man as far as I could throw him.
