Yeah, Canning Town first thing in the morning; let's have a couple of middle class twats make the minimum wage workforce's life even worse  :mad:

Get yourself down to Westminster and the City you stupid bastards  :lol:

If people against climate change action wanted a way to discredit the XR movement, this would be a very good way of doing it.   :secret:


:rolleyes:


Yeah the XR movement has truly proven itself to be devoid of silly people and ideas, NO WAY this was their doing.

Quote

Train drivers' union Aslef said the Tube and other public transport services were "part of the solution to climate change, not the problem".

Extinction Rebellion should "stick to protesting against those who create the problem - not our industry, members and hard-working commuters", the union added.

I mean fuck Aslef.

So they're wrong on this issue? 

No, but not sure why you picked their viewpoint out to speak on the issue. They suck/they are probably just jealous that someone beat them to the punch and it wasn't them screwing over commuters. ;)

And the big 'take away' for me from that is, the Swiss have no taste, they're surrounded by France, Italy, Germany and Austria, yet choose to holiday far away.  :D

I am impressed you can actually take a domestic flight in Israel.

Zmiinyi defenders: "Russian warship, go fuck yourself."

I'm surprised one would need to.

I don't see how you can tell where the Swiss are flying to.

I think the only reason HK isn't on that graph is because we aren't a country.  Otherwise we should be right up there with Singapore.

Connecting flights between Geneva and Zurich.

Eventually even Conservatives will have to admit we need to act

QuoteFor some time now it has been clear that the effects of climate change are appearing faster than scientists anticipated. Now it turns out that there is another form of underestimation as bad or worse than the scientific one: the underestimating by economists of the costs

Undoubtedly flights to Eilat, for tourism (the Red Sea!). Diving is a big activity there, and crossing the entire Negev desert to get there would be a pain.
