What I enjoy is watching the audience's reactions, even if you only watch the opening moments of the meeting debate.

The video highlights the hypocrisy of the green agenda and the consequences on the poor.

Do me a favour, now the right wing climate change deniers in the comments below are concerned for the development of poor african countries. Laughable

[weltklasse]

Peiser acknowledges that he is "not a climate scientist" and has "never claimed to be one."

[Woosie]

Please, Ifill Over, spare us the bullshit climate change denial nonsense. It is extremely tedious and pointless.

Climate change is the biggest threat to life on this planet, and we are too stupid to do enough about it to stop ourselves from quite possibly going extinct because of it.

Why retort with that? He is making socio-economic points, which is his field.

Try pointing out what is wrong with the content of his speech, not arguements which he isn't making.

It would be rather boring if everybody shared the same views. That we censored and shut down the views of others we disagree with.

er why the feck not? He himself has stated he is NOT a climate scientist yet he seems to spend a lot of time disputing the claims of climate scientists. OMFG he mentioned virtue signalling at that point a switched off not to be taken seriously

Try to keep up.

I mere pointed out originally that while the speaker likes to make lots of comments on climate change he is NOT a climate scientist.

I have watched the vid over lunch and to be honest its pretty hopeless phrases such a virtue signalling ring alarm bells. suggesting that shale and tar sands are the way forward and even quoting a Nigerian finance minister. its sad how people will use bad examples to try and make their points...like railing against subsidies for green energy whilst forgetting that aircraft fuel is subsides as its hardly taxed.

This isn't about opinion, it's about scientific fact.

Just like pretty much every poster on this and all the other BBS threads on climate change then.

I reckon you were invited to but didn't bother to read the contents of the envelope

If climate change wasn't real what would be the benefit of insisting it was? It's not for profit or control, what is the ulterior motive?

Not sure if this is a serious question. It's been answered so many times.

In the case of UK, just think it through for yourself. I think you'll be able to see it if you try to.

It gives conspiracy theorist nut jobs something to do with their sad empty lives.

The Lizards chosen propaganda to gain overall control of the population?

Why do the Lizards care about how many plastics we are eating and drinking every day? As long as we keep breeding and keep doing what the lizards want i can't see their motive, or gain, in making the air more pleasant to breath in London.

This is a serious question, please give me an answer as I cant see one for exactly what I asked?

The environment is clearly affected by pollution, the smog of London is testament to that. The problem is deliberately put down a cul-de-sac of whether the temperature is rising as a effect of it, which is causes a distraction reallly deliberately or not. Whether or not the temperature is rising, it is clear that pollution damages the air we breathe. The argument is Focussed on to something else which is hard to prove.

Those advocating cleaner methods what do they have to gain other than pursing a better environment? It gets put down as some kind of conspiracy of lies by some, what do these people have to gain other than less plastic in the sea and better air, things that are facts.
