Too disillusioned to care about COP and most of the current climate change angles.
The anti meat, milk, which I’m not into.
The obsessive tree planting by numbers game vs total amount carbon captured per hectare over lifespan of trees. They seem to just like to focus on the millions of trees planted. Little regard for the endless damage caused by importing trees to fit the bill. Still not banned I see.
Not much help for farmers wanting to do regen ag. (or organic I believe) as in financial security in initial years of loss of yield/teething problems.
Next to zero help for trying to set up local organic veg box scheme and community growing/outdoor ed scheme. The politicians love the sound of our work but there’s zero govt money to back it up.
I’ve not been abroad in nearly nine years. I’ve friends who bang the drum for low carbon who fly multiple times a year and lecture me about eating Scottish steak and my harmful wood burning stoves.
Electric cars are currently a bit of a nonsense especially in this country with the grid near capacity and 3-7 day black outs last year in my neighbourhood.
Those at the top are still in their jet planes. When they give them up I’ll listen. Otherwise I couldn’t give two hoots about the celeb list for COP.
I know that this constant fear mongering has to stop as living in doom and gloom and guilt mode will also be killing us. It’s constant in schools with no signs of abating which is terrifying as teenagers are now being diagnosed with environmental depression and suicides based on the environmental reality “The world would be better off without me” as mentioned above are now a reality which families are having to deal with. I’d rather they switch off the noise about climate change for a couple of years.
I’m all for reducing pollution, reducing packaging, moving away from consumerism (#ban all advertising?), renewable clothes and energy, recycling, growing our own, eating seasonally, Uk holidays, loving nature, working with communities to love their environments and source/grow local food. Not interested in what internationals want to preach. If Nic was so bothered why is Scotland still extracting oil? Shouldn’t that have been stopped by now? I don’t understand the big international picture and how it’s ok for us to extract oil so long as we’re not using it..? Or doing a bit less than years ago..?
China built 60,000 miles of motorway last year, the reality is that while we should do what feels right, whatever Britain does will likely make zero difference to global emissions.
