    Yep, the way to get people to see your point of view is to trespass on their property and make hideously unrealistic demands.

    Ya gotta love progressives, ya really do.

    More votes for Trump.

    Idiots.

    Ask them to leave once then call the police and have them charged with trespass. Have the cops tear their skin off to get them off if necessary.

    Just as a cherry on top, NBC should propose a 100% nuclear grid to tackle climate change. These activists would hate that!

    I think people are growing more fond of the idea of nuclear energy. That was our golden ticket, we’ve just been disgusted by it’s war potential and the consequences of Soviet rapid industrialization.

    Extinction Rebellion have it right. Climate change can no longer seen in traditional negative externality analysis. It threatens the very nature of our societies. Despite that, policy making is corrupted by conservatism, made worse by influence costs as profiteering goes unchecked.

    So something interesting I have learned in my persuit for a wedding and inspection degree... So I've been in a class learning about codes and standards. There are a lot of non governmental organizations that create write all the stars for which we build things. One of these organizations is the API. that stands for American petroleum institute. They were formed right around WWI. the government broke up a monopoly so standards had to be made. This organization controls a whopping 8% of our economy. Which political party do you think they fund and lobby for? I think this whole thing started as a means to crush the API. Think about the Koch brothers. What business they are in.

    API is huge money but it isn't a cooperation. The only thing they produce is standards.

    Please note that if you order a 20 foot section of 2 inch heavy wall black pipe, nothing on it will measure 2 inches.

    Haven't looked at a super glu label in years, but I remember the consumer safety label warning SJW's imposed on US Mfgs. Does anyone doubt that the SJW's will file a class action against super glu? Or first responders who may have caused them physical discomfort while uncementing them? Ever wonder whatever happened too ...?

    The trouble is that you don't understand the analysis behind climate change. We have folk thinking it's a minor issue (e.g. a Pigovian tax on fuel), when Social Green analysis has demonstrated that there needs to be much more radical change.

    LOL... as if.. We have all heard what those radical changes are. So which ones are you advocating here? Are you a part of the 90% population reduction crew? How about the revert back to the utopian agrarian society? Part of that? I expect that you are. Global government ownership of all production, that's you right? Yup, we see it.

    Malthusian analysis isn't required. It is about significant change in the economy (and a shift away from throw away culture). Conservatism in carbon neutrality, for example, cannot be tolerated. Of course, as part of that, regulations are required. Obvious aspects such as fracking should be stopped. We've reached a stage where any further delay in action will ensure that we pass the point of no return.

    Just let them stay attached and lose weight until their dead skin cells release them. Simple solution.

    Suddenly, when pressed, you've devolved into iterative disjointed talking points. Not surprised. Oh, and make sure you throw in the cautionary end is nigh BS... so typical.

    That's where you're wrong. We know everything there is to know about Climate Change. First and foremost it's a special case of gas lighting. When you look outside in winter and it's snowing, make anyone who doesn't call the storm a classic example of Climate Change feel like they are some anti-science nutcase. When Spring comes and it starts getting warm make anyone who doesn't call the warming a classic example of man-made climate change an anti-science nutcase.

    When a huge conference is planned at an inconvenient time in the midst of a global average temperature change hiatus, rush to kill the hiatus by adding ship inlet manifold structures into the global temperature calculation to overshadow the inconvenient accurate buoy temperature measurements.

    These are just the most recent examples climate scientists shared with us.

    I see you didn't respond to anything actually said. Tut tut! Let's go through it. I rejected Malthusian analysis, countering your petty whine. I referred to how the protestors are correct over bringing forward carbon neutrality. I referred to the need to change the regulatory framework. That should include procurement policies which exclude polluting firms. We also need to adapt the Preston model of devolution and integrate green deal radicalism.

    I'm really not interested in denier rhetoric. It only describes the backwardness of right wing ideology.
