    Better to keep everyone guessing, why rule things out?

    Indeed 30 minute hoover up. Its like the Van Gogh stunt, maximum publicity, minimal damage, and gammons foaming at the mouth

    Its common. The its all China's fault and whatever we do has little or no effect is well ingrained and its not just in the UK. The first time I realised the world was really failing was the Rio summit in 1992. Change is coming but its very very late, from here its damage control

    More Murdoch grifters polluting our airwaves, hopefully more truthful than their American cousins.

    Frequent flyers are frequent flyers. In the UK 15 per cent of people take 70 per cent of all flights. I'm not suggesting it should be outlawed but if you do it all the time the damage needs to paid for, whether you're a Romanian car washer or a Benidorm winter bird. Flying is a tax free...

    Well, if you are considering a 2 week holiday in the Med you're far from poor. But maybe those that go long haul or take 3,4 or 5 trips a year need to pay for the damage they are doing. Most flights are taken by a small number of individuals.

    I actually don't think we need to materially lower our living standards, but we are going to have to change the way we live and things as they stand are not sustainable. Infact it is inaction that will ultimately make us poorer. And you mention the poor, it is they who will suffer first at home...

    Its not about stopping local access to oil and gas, its about stopping new exploration and providing the subsides to it. Maybe its time for a State owned energy company with a focussed on renewables that give us energy security and price stability. Whether we get oil from the North Sea or the...

    Right now fossil fuel giants are still getting tax breaks for new exploration in UK waters, what happens if every country does the same to extract every last drop? Subsides should be targeted towards renewables, this is the way to self sufficiency and is the only way will be get weaned off the...

    Yeap, my grandkids will be asking me, what the f**k were you all doing early in the century. It really is in the hands of the developed world that has huge emissions deficits, we've done most of the damage already. IMHO we have a moral responsibility to lead by example, develop the...

    Important to remember that Just Stop Oil's mission isn't too end all fossil fuel use today, its to stop new drilling for oil and gas, our government are allowing the complete opposite in the middle of a climate crisis. A criminal act really. People are getting angry but this but we had 20k...

    You have to say, what's in it for them? Answer - Nothing, they will suffer consequences for their actions. I support what they are doing but wouldn't be prepared to make the same personal sacrifice.
