COP 26 Glasgow, anyone else attending??

[Brandane]

So you thought you’d derail a perfectly good thread instead.

1. I'm not derailing, I'm voicing my opinion.

2. It's a bit rich talking about derailing, when these activists are intent on derailing a whole conference.

I'm hoping to be there, in a back up role for my ex colleagues, noising up those leftie protester types

Years ago I went to a Celtic v Rangers game as a birthday treat.

Some very impressively large Glasgow coppers outside Parkhead which certainly intimidated this southern softie.

I doubt any sandal wearing Guardian reading tree huggers would take them on, although some of the Extinction Rebellion types seem partial to destroying property - provided it belongs to somebody else.

Who is intent on derailing it? I think the OP will be a peaceful contributor - unless I've misread her posts.

Or alternatively - disinterested.

You could always generate some interest by considering carbon framed bikes in the context of carbon* neutral.

*the fact many call call it that shows a lack of understanding of the issues. Stop chucking diamonds into the atmosphere.

Bloody activists - bunch of wimps!
Apart from the thugs.

I won't be going but I'll delegate @mudsticks to attend on my behalf and I wish her the greatest and greenest success.

On the ''How are you getting there?'' nonsense: I just got an email from Too Good To Go. It started '' We’re firm believers that it’s better to have lots of people doing zero waste imperfectly than a few people doing zero waste perfectly.'' It could be applied to climate campaigning.

Or claim asylum in Scotland shire.??

It's certainly ,on my list of possibilities.

Btw, does everyone here think that Greta was the first and only climate activist??

Where have you all been??

A young girl with some issues doesn't half put the wind up grown 'men' It's a pleasure to see

I think her being a young girl with issues is convenient for some people, but probably not in the way you mean. I don't know anyone that she 'gets the wind up', be they male or female.

I doubt it's convenient for her ....

Look at this thread and any other environment thread on here and you'll see numerous examples.

I found grown men who focus on her being a young girl slightly concerning rather than a pleasure.

I've seen a lot of examples of people making the claim you made, but precious little to support it. That's part of why I posted what I did about convenience.

You didn't bother looking ?

Reports incoming in 3,2,1 ......

OK that's pretty normal response / reaction oft encountered over the years.

So i'd better nip over to the zwift (?is it?)
thread , and let them know how I'm wholly uninterested in all that, right, because they'll want to know, I expect ??

Thats how this 'friendly' part of the forum works yes??
