It's statements such as that (and I know you're just repeating what some "worthy" has stated) which really boils my p*ss.
There is absolutely no way that anyone can predict that sort of thing with that sort of accuracy. Human knowledge of how climate works is rudimentary at best, there's no "control sample" to test hypothesis against, and there is a huge amount that science does not understand about the drivers of climatic events and effects, yet organisations such as the IPCC continue to publish their rubbish doomsday predictions that have proven to be at least an order of magnitude wrong in the past.
Worse still, scientifically illiterate politicians amplify the problem by ascribing degrees of accuracy to broad estimates, the scientific community fails to give the health warnings about their analysis that they really should, and all of a sudden we get this sort of unverifiable nonsense driving policy.
We really are in a mad world.
They're a global organisation, you knowThis thread's a bit like reading posts on the flat earth society page.
Simply protesting about these things is frankly a cheap shot at the obvious and achieves little.
how do the protestors get time off work to protest ???
You have a point, however we will have to agree to disagree. I would like to be wrong, but I don't believe for one second that these protests wil produce any meaningful change to meat consumption in China or for example lead to improved air quality in India.Completely agree with your post but for below.
The increase in awareness makes it worthwhile especially as it can encourage individuals to make changes without impacting on anyone else or waiting for legislation. Example: you mention deforestation. When that is happening merely to graze cattle for meat consumption, people once aware of it and how damaging it is, can act at the individual level. Sounds small, but all the world's population is but individuals. What we do (and don't do) today, developing countries will do tomorrow (eg China's increasing meat consumption as a symbol of wealth).

Genuine question:Just saw Emma Thompson on the news - who could have appeared on a big screen via a video link of course...…..
"but I have to fly in from the USA for things like this - but don't fly as much as I used to"
"so, do you fly economy to reduce your carbon footprint?" (fatuous question I agree)
"hell no" - with rolled eyes
Whilst I understand what they are all trying to say (and IMHO they are only partly right - Mother Earth will do what the hell she wants!), why do they have to ruin Easter for the police and families? Not even mentioning what this has all cost
Energy is possibly the most potent drug man has stumbled across- and we are all addicts. Perhaps what's so annoying to many people is that these protesters remind us of that somewhat unpalitable fact. Their antics are as nothing to what the drug pushers/cartels the big multinational oil companies have done- hell we've gone to war, invaded countries, raised cities to the ground, killed hundreds of thousands to get that daily shot. The first step to recovering from an addiction is maybe to acknowledge you have one?
Genuine question:
How does flying economy reduce her carbon footprint?
