[Albion] Amex Light Pollution.

[Guinness Boy]

Light pollution worse when there's a low thick mist *SHOCKER*

But won't you think of the STAR GAZERS who could be staring straight up at some CLOUDS if it wasn't for our evil light pollution. Not to mention the poor INSECTS who don't exist in January.

Murray’s on fire, your defence is petrified, nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah na nah.....nah nah nah

Btw if it’s a waste of energy it’s also a waste of money, if the worlds on fire then the world is starving.

The world is on fire?
FFS there was no mention of this on the traffic bulletin.

As referenced earlier, Chichester's light pollution is clearly visible from Clumping, some 5 miles away, so clear in fact I'd say you could double the distance were it not for all the other light pollution further afield.

So where is the protest against the lit seafront and pavilion at night? Or the roads or the university or the marina or any of the other sources of light pollution in the city?

I don’t know what steps Brighton are taking but many councils are taking light pollution seriously. Sodium lights are being replaced, lamp posts are being redesigned and lights are being switched off.

In any case what sort of argument is it to say that others are causing pollution therefore our pollution isn’t a problem?

My argument isn’t that everyone should not be looking at their light pollution contribution my issue is with a petition raised directly against the football club only. As I said in an earlier post we battled to build a stadium as allegedly we were ruining the SDNP yet the University opposite expands without complaint. Now we are killing insects and having a devastating impact on people’s well-being yet there are countless examples of other contributors yet nobody up in arms about any of them.

If people are serious about tackling the issue then maybe a bit of consistency would be nice. Otherwise it just looks like a lot of virtue signalling against an easy target

I agree - but it won’t help get more action against the pollution being caused at other sites by disregarding the light pollution coming from our club. Isn’t the answer more awareness of light pollution in general and taking steps to reduce this.

The biggest light, noise and air polluter near where I live is Gatwick Airport - there have been numerous complaints and some steps have been taken to reduce this but it would be good to see more being done with regards to other sources as well.

Time for a roof then. A reflective one, like a fukken great big sunbed.

A quick glance over on the scums site and they're taking great pleasure in racking the numbers up

I’m not sure a grand total of 7 palace fans saying they had signed the petition, could be described as ‘racking the numbers up’

Nice to see they're doing something about the state of the pitch, it was looking quite bad for us.

This is the byproduct of burning 20,000 bottle tops under the cover of darkness unfortunately

What are you talking about?

The petition was raised by people who post on Brighton Skies Facebook page, they take pictures of Brighton Skies. There is huge light pollution caused by the Amex....simples.

You can see it for miles...now with the realisation that we need to look after the environment, some people are concerned about it and want something done.

Simples.

Electricity bill must be phenomenal. No wonder we can't afford a decent striker.

 

[DumLum]

Over 6000 have now signed, more than the original 5000 target. I imagine the media will be asking the club some questions soon.

Wow. 6000 is less than a third of our STH total. Questions will be asked? Barber will be shaking in his boots. Virtually no experience at all in answering daft questions:

They won't be daft questions though. It's not an argument he can win if he dismisses it.

The light pollution is also caused by Sussex & Brighton university, and the A27 lighting. If you turn off every light at the Amex, and stand in Stanmer Park, I doubt you’d see more than half a dozen stars.
But it’s all the fault of the club, apparently.

That is somewhat tenuous.

These days people are more aware about the environment and it’s no good the council spending thousands replacing the yellow street lights because of light pollution yet allowing something like this.

I read somewhere that in Europe they are looking at using white light instead of yellow light rigs.

That would kill this issue stone dead

5k now signed the petition. It’s not just some tree huggers now
