    So the people involved in Extinction Rebellion DO think that human life will end in 10 years?

    At least you know how to spell "peer review." Good show.

    Ah! Yes! In some instances it did but like a lot of half understood/ misunderstood facts around paleo climatology this claim does not stack up

    The confusing thing was that the overall bushfire related arrest figure for NSW was reported separately. The problem is that this figure was 183 too! The Australian article included a breakdown of the ARSON arrests from each state for 2019. I added them up and it came to 173! I actually think that someone stuffed up and confused the two figures given their common last digit. I don't think they have realised their mistake. I might be the only person in the world who bothered to do the maths.

    Certainly not me! I'm glad that we both agree that these people are useless idiots.

    Not “useless” although they are going over the top in some ways I do stand by the right of anyone to voice an option through political activism! It shows a healthy society

    And underpinning this is this concern

    I don't understand the picture. Why is the opposite end of the spectrum to "Climate change isn't real", "oops/f*ck?" (Which I assume means that we're all dead or something.)

    It wasn't a big deal, so I didn't report it. Still, it's against forum rules to insert text into another poster's quote.
