HanoiVillan Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 One thing I listened to recently on global warming was an interview with climate journalist David Wallace-Wells on The Ezra Klein Show, which is available here: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/vox/the-ezra-klein-show/e/59194732 It's well-worth your time if you have an hour or so free, but very very bleak.

Then I moved to flushable before someone else pointed out the above. Wait what thread is this? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenjiOgiwara Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 People should pick up some stuff written by a brilliant Englishman called James Lovelock. He made an impact on me during my years at Uni. His Gaia thesis is fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope - only a madman would drive into London these days. I just have a pathological loathing of the tube so normally make my escape by a combination of bus and train. Bus doesn't look like an option as I'm going to get nowhere near Waterloo. Piccadilly line it is then. Deep breath! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VILLAMARV Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Caption: Police officers said they would make arrests under the Public Order Act if people did not move on when asked to do so I have just read a bbc piece on this. (It's under bbc>news>entertainment and arts) It's day 2 and there were a succession of tweets about 'balance' I'll paraphrase them. "My wife works by there and there was loads of litter left - is this part of the protest?" "I can't get a bus. I agree with freedom of speech but it's costing me money" "this really shouldn't be allowed. enough is enough" " The vandalism instantly loses support or sympathy for their cause. Disgusting" But that's how talking points work I suppose. Also some interesting lines I thought from the Telegraph Quote an order was made restricting protesters from congregating across the capital. police last night ordered demonstrators to stay at Marble Arch. Scotland Yard said there had been 113 arrests in total in connection with the demonstrations in a statement at 6am today. The majority of the arrests were for breaching the order instructing protesters to stay only at Marble Arch. Five of those arrested, three men and two women, were held on suspicion of criminal damage So more than 56 of those people were arrested for not complying with an order to remain in a designated protest zone? Sounds normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
