Being somewhat older than most of you, I perhaps have witnessed more of the changes in the lifestyles of humans which are the reason
why future prospects for human life have changed so dramatically. When I was a schoolboy, my family lived in a road of about 50 houses
in a then modern housing estate, and the total number of cars in it was about two or three. Today there must be getting on for a hundred.
Overseas holidays then were practically unheard of, and nearly all workers walked or cycled to work, and children walked to school.

There needs to be some drastic changes to the way we live now, if we are to save the planet.

Nail on the head, Aggers, but we are not going to do it. We are addicted to our phones, to plastic, to our comfortable lives. We want more, more and even more, and we are not going back, therefore we are doomed.

I am about to become a grandfather, but I do fear greatly for that child and the life it will lead.

I worried about the whole political ramifications of dear little Greta lecturing the powers of the world. I worried even more about who was getting what for letting her address our governments and the UN.

Two weekends ago I found #1 son, who is totally on board with the entire climate change issue, playing twitter video's mocking our dear Greta and taking great amusement from it.

Today the Met has banned any more ER protests in London. Try it again and they will All be arrested and carted off before they can really impact things.

Which means they now have carte blanch to shut down any kind of climate protest in London.

Way to go.

I did a bit of digging into who the drivers of ER are.

It is NOT pretty behind the popular facade.
