On;y one problem with Extinction Rebellion.They aren't extinct.
The extinction people seem to think that the rest of the world is sitting in the dark and totally ignorant about the damage that we are doing to the planet.

They are going about it all the wrong way, they are tying up far too much manpower. They should try to think up solutions to the problem is they want to do something useful.

humans are going to become an extinct species, our planet will one day cease to exist - they can't change that.
We need to slow down the rate of destruction, all the negative effects that we have on the planet - but supergluing themselves to buildings will not help.
Is superglu biodegradable?
ummmm - leave them attached to the buildings and wait to see if they become unstuck at some point in the future

Where's Chief Luvvie Emma Thompson?

It is entirely legitimate to call out a luvvie hypocrite like Thompson who, in April, climbed aboard the pink boat, having just jetted in first class from the US. I suspect since April she's probably crossed the Atlantic a dozen or so times.

It is clear with the entitled like Thompson that it's OK for her to fly, but not the normal people like you and me.

She's a disgrace. And Cumberbatch is no different. I wonder how many flights he took to film Dr Strange?

Extinction Rebellion are pathetic losers.
On reading the title my first thought was that someone had kicked HM the Queen up the jacksie!

Lol . Once again we are of similar minds. I recall erect and members sparking our imagination. :-0)
Does the idiocy of *Corbyn* know any bounds?

Quite.

The entertainment industry is one of the most wasteful, CO2 spewing industries on Earth. The movie makers fly their entourages to every corner of the planet. Hundreds of people hop on and off planes to make a couple of hours worth of footage. They use vast quantities of electricity without a care in the world. I have seen with my own eyes, dozens of floodlights positioned outside my local church's windows for days on end just so the director can get the light inside the church that he wants for a scene. Wasteful doesn't even begin to describe it. Dozens of HGVs, hundreds of people. For what? A 30 second scene in a TV drama?

And yet the people who work in this industry – from the so-called “A” list actors to the tea boy – are the ones who seem to think that their chosen profession is somehow exempt from criticism and that they themselves, whilst having vast 'carbon footprints'*, are somehow virtuous and good while the rest of us plebs need to stop taking foreign holidays and go back to subsistence living and are evil polluters.

The bottom line is that if Extinction Rebellion didn't have double standards then it wouldn't have any at all.

* Carbon Footprint = original sin. By the way, no one has a 'carbon' footprint. You may have a Carbon Dioxide 'footprint'. But if you have a 'Carbon' footprint, then I would recommend that you take a good long look at your diet.

bang on birdy, BA
Yes, an excellent answer from Birdie, and I also have always been a little mystified by the term "carbon footprint". Also, it's refreshing to see a lengthy post that is actually comprehensible, logical, and is completely devoid of meaningless cut and pastes.
Very good article by Peter Hitchens today.

The UK recently chose to close Didcot A power station, with a generating capacity of 1.44 gigawatts. China already has the coal-fired equivalent of 690 Didcots in operation, with 180 coal-fired Didcots under development.

The whole of the UK's electrical generating capacity is 85 gigawatts (59 Didcots), so we could stop generating any electricity whatsoever and it would make no difference. Where are the protests in China?

ER should have a go at their stunts in China, and see how accommodating the Chinese police are.

Thank you. That's very kind of you. Sorry for the (very) late response. I visit AB infrequently these days since it became so mired in PC nonsense and started deleting some of my posts due to what the AB editors deemed to be 'offensive'. Demonstrably provable, independently verifiable facts printed in millions of books can be 'offensive' apparently. Who knew?
Birdie, I sometimes think Ed and The Mods are pubertal females at the wrong time of the month who will delete anything just for the sake of it. Cos they can.
