Too many “environmentalists” have far more than one axe to grind. They’re not interested in just trying to save the planet from global warming (or climate change, as it is now named – luckily for them, considering it’s been the coldest January in 20 years), but in forcing other change in under this banner.
Green campaigners should do precisely that campaign on environmental issues. Leave political and social issues out of it. Don’t try and make people change their lifestyles for any other reason than saving the planet. Leave your …

Why do climate change protestors always feel the need to climb onto the roof? I just don’t get it. Their protests don’t do anything to help their cause, but just make them look like a bunch of immature morons. Do they really have nothing better to do with their time than sit on the roof of the Palace of Westminster?
This sort of demonstration doesn’t actually make any difference to people’s views over climate change or persuade them that their policies are the ones we need.
To make a real impact, they …

I’m so glad to find the proof that Britain is a nation of climate change sceptics. Despite the green pressure groups, media, and political capitulation to the idea that man-made climate change is happening, the vox populi are saying “bugger off and let us get on with our lives”.
The environment is not the big issue that they all seem to think it is. People simply don’t believe the claptrap that is spouted about it:

50% think that the media are too alarmist about climate change
40% believe the many experts are still …

You really would have thought that a gardening show would be a “green” occasion. But, really, when you think about it – that much work for just five days?! Especially when all stone for “garden” like this has been imported from Italy! The RHS is about as green as a coal power station.
Also, with water being a major feature at this year’s show, you just have to ask – how much energy is it wasting for an event as pointless as this one is? Its “carbon footprint” must be absolutely …

Climate change is one of those things that no-one* really understands. So much is written about it, on whether or not the ice caps are melting, whether the earth is heating up by a degree each year, whether their is a “scientific consensus” on it or not. And it all just goes right over my head. So I have decided something: I don’t care.
I don’t care if the earth is heating up by one degree or more, or less, or not at all per year.
I don’t care whether or not …

Recycle or go to Hell, the Vatican says.
Do not pass Go, do not collect £200; straight to Hell.
Well, if my choice is between being forced to recycle and going to Hell, well, I guess my choice is made for me.
See you in Hell*.
*Well, all except for His Grace. Obviously.

This is an unadulterated Good Thing. “Green” taxes are a bad idea, and don’t even serve any real purpose except as a means for government to take more of our hard-earned money away from us. Being “green” isn’t about paying extra taxes on “polluting” things, since taxes are already paid on them. And taxing them more will only hurt those lower down on the economic scale anyway.
Carrots work better than sticks in these situations. Any party who is serious about reducing Britain’s carbon emissions, for whatever reason, must accept that …

Greenpeace have decided to name a whale, and have an on-line poll to decide what to call it. The name that just has to win, for the sheer hilarity of making a rabid green activist say it, has to be Mister Splashy Pants.
Go here to vote!

This is bansturbation, pure and simple.
I’ll expand on this later.
UPDATE: Plastic bags are the end of the life for plastic. The plastic used to make them can be used for nothing else. Hence to ban plastic bags would leave us with tons of plastic that can be used for nothing else.
However, this does not mean that incentives not to use plastic bags shouldn’t be promoted. Instead of banning them or charging for their use, provide incentives for re-using or recycling plastic bags – schemes which most supermarkets already have …

Drink rats milk to save the planet?
Heather Mills McCartney has urged people to drink milk from rats and dogs to help save the planet…Wearing a green T-shirt bearing the message “Vegan, you can’t get greener”, Lady McCartney said: “Eighty per cent of global warming comes from livestock and deforestation. I’m not telling people to go vegan overnight. But if they stop drinking their cows’ milk lattes, maybe this sort of thing won’t have to happen.” (The Telegraph)
No. That has to be one of the most idiotic things I have ever …
