By what mechanism can a breathing human being reduce their carbon emission to zero?

Re: These pricks want to close down LHR
As I said - not thought through. The moonhowler was demanding meetings with guv'mint and anyone else who would listen to him. He was also saying we should cut our meat consumption and become vegans - FFS what we going to put on the BBQ? He was like that Natalie Bennett but with a beard.Undried Plum wrote: ↑Tue Apr 23, 2019 3:52 pmBy what mechanism can a breathing human being reduce their carbon emission to zero?
Mrs 4ma , who was also watching, came all over sensible and said "He should go and try his antics in China - won't last five minutes".

16-year-old climate activist Greta Thunberg
She may be an impressive and impassioned talker, but I'd be interested to know her qualifications for speaking - doctorate in climatology, Masters degree in environmental physics? I thought not.

I'd like to reduce her carbon emission to zero. And that silly cow wearing strapped jeans that flew in from LA and stated her credentials were using a wooden fork and spoon. Of which I can suggest a useful place wherein they might be lodged.

Re: These pricks want to close down LHR
Sometimes you need an impassioned and articulate champion.
That Pakistani girlie didn't have a Degree in education, but she campaigned to have education for girls. Her detractors shot her in the head for her efforts but she was right and she was/is very persuasive.
Ghandi Ji had a Law qualification, but not a Degree in PPE. He still made a pretty good job of persuading people that the sands of time had run out on the British Raj. Not in legal terms, but in terms of Right and Wrong.
Martin Luther King was just a self-appointed gobby preacherman, but he did a pretty good job of explaining that voting ought to be an intrinsic part of life in a country which sometimes pretends to be a democracy.
Richard Dawkins and David Attenborough and James Lovelace have formal qualifications to their name, but it is their power of explanation which makes them so successful at demolishing the evolution deniers and the anthropogenic climate change deniers.

FFS she's just a kid repeating what some grups told her to say.
Julie Powell in 6th grade could talk just as well as that missy.

Re: These pricks want to close down LHR
I doubt very much that Thunberg is parroting somebody else's speech Reagan-style.
Once in a while somebody comes along, in the right place and at the right time, to make a difference. They need to be intelligent, articulate and insightful.
Here's another example of such a person. He really is making a difference. He gave this very short lecture a decade ago and what he has done since then is truly remarkable.

I don't doubt it at all. Look at the words, the timed Snowflakey little cry, the demeanor and the delivery. This child was indeed very well coached by adults.I doubt very much that Thunberg is parroting somebody else's speech Reagan-style.
Of course the bloody EU loves soaking this GW sh!t up and then projecting it for the world to see.

Re: These pricks want to close down LHR
The World is lurching to the left.
Climate change
Social Justice
Anti Globalisation generally
Multiculturalism
Muslophilia.....there's a new word!
Political correctness.
Let it!
The leftward trend will inevitably hit the buffers and rebound.
Sooner the better!

Re: These pricks want to close down LHR
Miss Thunberg was asked what she would say to US President Donald Trump to steer him away from climate change denial. But the schoolgirl said there was nothing she could say as he would not listen. She said: ‘If I were to speak to Donald Trump today I don’t think there is much I could say to make him change his mind. ‘Obviously he must have scientists coming to talk to him all the time, so he is obviously not listening to the scientists. There is nothing I could say.’

Re: These pricks want to close down LHR
UP, maybe President Trump have his own scientists.
The other day I got in an argument with a journalist about her not posing tough questions. And here is my point maybe raised by others here as well: Maybe instead of listening without comments and just applauding ask the real environmental cost of their current life style (particularly in countries like Sweden) and if they are willing to give it up immediately. For instance say goodbye to their mobile, air travel and various other modern day advancement making our lives easier.
And I am wondering how the various grants impact scientist opinions' on GW.

A small country like oil-rich Norway is already showing that an environmentally responsible and wise approach is possible.
Oil-destitute Costa Rica, another small country, is a very interesting test case.

Re: These pricks want to close down LHR
I would like to ask the Greta person whether she is aware that the surface temperature on the planet Mars is steadily rising. Small amounts I admit, but the trend is there.
Re: These pricks want to close down LHR
Maybe RiS, but I suspect he's simply more informed on this GW ***** than the average Gore-loving droobs who have the thickheadedness (and human arrogance to boot) to give credence that talking monkeys are powerful enough to cause this kind of impact on Nature.Rwy in Sight wrote: ↑Fri Apr 26, 2019 4:08 pmmaybe President Trump have his own scientists.

And yes if we were both pulling in the loot that 97% of those IPCC clowns are making, we would prove most convincingly to the idiot brigade that black is white, smokes are good for your health, the Earth is flat or whatever other ***** our benefactors want us to spruke in order for us to stay on the gravy train.
That said I'm not against clean air. No one is. But Im buggered if I'll believe anything the IPCC, that coached and brainwashed Swedish child nor what Cowfarts Cortex says.

Re: These pricks want to close down LHR
Those shouting loudest usually know the least.
Try asking an AGW warrior what percentage of greenhouse gasses are emitted by the activities of mankind.
They never know.
Try asking what the temp rise has been in the last 100 years.
They never know.

Re: These pricks want to close down LHR
And ask them how Norway got the money to pay for all that green sh!t.
(Hint: It's not by exporting lutefisk.)
Re: These pricks want to close down LHR
The Sun is a mildly variable star. It varies its output over time and can probably account for a lot of the natural variation in the Earth's surface temperature on its own. Then you get events such as Krakatoa and Mount St Helens, which chuck a load of dust into the atmosphere and can cause noticeable cooling as a result.
Re: These pricks want to close down LHR
I have these discussions with my son the eco-warrior, who has just flown to ZA and back on 747s and driven 1000 miles or so with us in a diesel car whilst there.Try asking an AGW warrior what percentage of greenhouse gasses are emitted by the activities of mankind.

He happened to have been in London when the 'pink boat' was there and went to look but did not actually demonstrate.
The discussions about this (not to mention Brexit, socialism, and other lefty ideas) become quite interesting and 'mother' tells us to stop 'arguing'.
He works for a Norwegian NGO dealing with climate change policy. I shall ask him to answer the above questions in writing and will post his reply.
