Just Stop Oil Activists - Hysterical

[dave50]

Having seen clips on the news and social media (sorry no links), I'm amazed that some of the women are actually nearly crying, telling us all that if their demands aren't met, their children and grandchildren will die along with countless millions across the globe. What a load of ballony.
Are they deranged or at least must have been brainwashed?

Perlease! Learn the subject first then go and hassle those that can have an effect instead of hassling the population of one of the top climate change responders in the world.

I'm afraid it ain't funny, . Teachers, particularly new young ones, are telling tales of an oncoming apocalyptical, dystopian future to very young vulnerable children. Mothers I've heard of complaining that their children are so worried by all this guff that they are crying themselves to sleep.

It really is an outrage.

I was wondering the same a couple of weeks ago, dave. A GP was among those arrested and he said, quite sincerely, that humans are now experiencing "Hell on Earth" due to climate change. He said "many millions" of people had already died because of it and that this is only the beginning.

I'm a little worried for the sanity of people like him (and to be honest, he should be doing a bit more GP-ing and a little less gluing himself to roads or walking slowly backwards down the Cromwell Road). People have always died because of weather events, particularly in places likely to see heavy rainfall or high temperatures. Bangladesh in particular springs to mind. For so long as I can recall, that country has suffered floods. It endures annual monsoon rainfall and many of the people living in the south - an area dominated by large deltas - are flooded out regularly.

No doubt any floods that have occurred in recent years are said to have been caused by climate change. In fact they are caused by monsoon rain falling on an area totally unsuitable for human habitation.

Fear is now endemic to certain types of mentally. The Media has for much too long been inciting terror and doomsday scenarios.
Many believe this carp with a genuine, sincere response.
They are very frightened and encouraged to be so.

[bazwillrun]

millions are dying, will die as a result of..but no evidence to back up their delusional claims...


"Are they deranged or at least must have been brainwashed?"
both !...

[roadman]

deranged yes

did you know it harms the environment more to get the lithium for electric cars than the petrol engine could ever do in its lifetime

[fbg40]

I get the impression that all these protesters think that somebody, somewhere will flick a switch and all will be ok - deranged and delusional !!

They're brainwashed.

[ToraToraTora]

I find what Khandro at 16:43 is talking about most disturbing, the TROB teachers are scaring pony out of the saucepans.

[jourdain2]

roadman 18.26 Thanks for that. I've been yelling about the environmental cost of batteries, but you have given me something firm to go on.

[jourdain2]

NJ 16.51. Since Pakistan was established (was it 1947?) the once well-wooded delta has been stripped of all its trees by the new inhabitants. Result - flooding.

[dave50]

Also when They do manage to get interviewed and asked serious questions about their cause, they just go into one long rant about how everyone is going to die, they never answer any questions.

[Ryzen]

Its a concern that the people telling us we're doomed, carry on producing children.

[Khandro]

dave // they never answer any questions.//

They aren't really interested in answers, it's the protesting, being involved in a movement & doing something which inconveniences & 'shocks' the public they like.

If it wasn't this 'cause' it would be something else.

[William51]

They are somewhat deranged. Instead of joining the rest of use living life normally, they have joined a cause and blown its effects well out proportion.

[dave50]

There was a lady on a jso demo being interviewed on TV today, telling us about how her grandson told her his fish had died because the water was too warm due to climate change. She actually burst into tears telling us she was trying to save her grandsons life. What a deluded brainwashed idiot and has obviously passed her histeria onto her grandchildren.
