Anyone else surprised that there isn’t more uproar about global warming right now?

The so called grass roots organisations that you named are funded by millionaires and are out of faver with the left wing lovies who have moved on to the latest cause, whilst the actions of the extremists in those groups have enraged the general population so much that anything that they say or do will be ignored as more militant eco bs

I haven't been on a plane in over a decade and I don't eat meat.

What have you done?

Just Stop Oil blocked an ambulance and the woman died. They also blocked a man who couldn't get to his mother's funeral.

I hope your idiotic activist friend reflects on the damage he contributed towards.

I personally have a city car and only drive 2500 miles a year. I agree very much thst appealing to making your own area nicer is more tangible snd motivating.

This is the other thing I find ( and I am not suggesting this is you btw - you just triggered a thought! ) that quite often, people suggest action is needed and we must all do our bit and are quite vocal but just happen to live in a less environmentally friendly way than me, by virtue of being richer so being able to go on holiday, have a big car, heat thuer house to 20 degrees not 17, buy new carpets which cover more area. Im not trying to have less impact its just its a consumption thing isnt it.

I’m not at all surprised. No one in history has decided them being up in arms impacts a global disaster completely out of their control.

also, action isn’t always (usually isn’t) quick and loud. Sometimes gradual change leads to significant shifts over time that go pretty unnoticed as we’re alll too busy pointing and shouting at each other

Yes very true. Not much point exchanging the gigantic SUV for a small hybrid/EV when the Willy Wavers are smashing up other parts of the world.

Although I always think you can do something to make your own corner of the globe nicer. So turn engines off when waiting for your kids to come out of school, cycle/walk when you can, plant a few trees, don't waste water etc.

People see the actions required as costly to them so don’t care, or are just living short term.

I think the scale of the issue is overwhelming and people have no idea how to make a meaningful impact.

I enjoy my quality of life and think i could cut back and back and back but wars like Ukraine and Palestine emit more co2 a year than a developed country.

People are too wrapped up in themselves and don't see a problem.
People refuse to believe in climate change.
People are too lazy/selfish to make changes that would actually make a difference.
Spain burns, we swelter in 34 degree heat, our gardens die and when I look up the sky is full of planes.
There is no cure for people.

I know someone who lost his career and was sent to prison for a peaceful protest with just stop oil. Activists have sacrificed a lot and most people still don’t care. See second poster using the chance to call activists hypocrites. What were you doing to help the situation @BlackTogetherAgain67 except moaning from your armchair?

All millennials and younger have been educated about pollution, climate change, the environment etc since childhood. There’s no lack of awareness. People are just selfish and stupid. Racism they can get behind because they get to attack some other group. Taking responsibility for their own actions, not so much.

Their leader Greta got bored and switched to being insanely pro-Pally and they all dutifully followed.

People are too busy getting ready to jet off on yet another foreign holiday. Flying
from over 30 degree heat to somewhere thousands of miles away with over 30 degree heat just because it’s their holiday.

I don’t see any hope really. Human beings are largely selfish creatures. People only seem to change their behaviour when they are forced to because it’s too late

Not surprised really - it was always a fashionable trend for the media and the Extinction Rebellion people were never interested in the environment - whenever they were interviewed about it they showed themselves to be hypocrites who knew nothing about the issue.

We need to focus on what we can do to adapt to a changing environment.

The framework up until recently was about changing our behaviour in a futile attempt to stop the changing climate - the result of that was we bankrupted our economy while changing absolutely nothing else.

Probably too hot to protest.
