It was all performative crap.

No it isn't.

Our emmisions just end up exported.

No they don't.

Because you need to mine all the rare earth metals for those fancy new solar panels from somewhere.

Still less invasive and damaging for the environment than mining for coal and gas and oil, plus when kesterite solar cells become commercially viable they will be made with much smaller amounts of rare earth metals - or even none at all - with most of the metals used commonly available in the UK.

Net zero is a lie.

No it isn't, you just don't understand it.

And all because you were asked to make changes to your life to benefit others.

If that change is allowing corporations an excuse to make things horrible like the paper straws that dissolve in five seconds sure.

"Why are you complaining about my child-mangling machine? Do you know how many children are mangled every day in China? The one child mangled a day by my machine is basically a rounding error!"

I've been looking for one of those since mine broke, I've not been able to mangle any children for months now. Where did you get yours from?

If paper straws are such an inconvenience to you, buy a reusable metal or plastic straw and carry it around with you. It's far from the end of the world (unlike climate change, which might well be- or at least the end of human civilisation as we know it).

A UK-Iranian dual national has been arrested on suspicion of preparation of terrorist acts in connection with the incident at RAF Fairford, Counter Terrorism Policing have said.

The 27-year-old man was arrested in the borough of Westminster, London.

A second man, a 26-year-old UK national, has also been questioned under caution, and two properties in the area have been searched.

Its a joke.
I know i can just use my own straws.

What world are you living in?

Modern britain.
The main pollution issue we have is light pollution

An absurdly incorrect statement, as has been point out to you multiple times.

No doubt these arrests are thanks to President Trump.

I was really hoping for this to have nothing more than some knuckle-draggers stealing fuel.

It’s kind of unbelievable and alarming that three vans worth of terrorists were able to get this close to a military base.

Welcome to modern britain.
If we cant protect our own beaches, its quite obvious we would not be able to protect our interior.

Do British paper straws still, ahem, stuck?

When we were in London in 2018 they were awful. It was such a relief to come home and escape the bastard things.

We, of course, now have paper straws here, too. They're not even worth raising an eyebrow at. This presents three major explanations:

• paper straws have improved
• I've hardened the fuck up
• British paper straws suck

This isn't Area 51, anyone is allowed to be nearby.

Racist drivel is when you don't want hordes of fighting age men who don't speak the language, who don't respect the culture, and who don't understand consent to flood into the country, got it

We all know you're also a racist, yes. You don't need to try and convince anyone.

Three vans full of accelerant with their occupants suspected of preparing a terrorist attack.

The saving grace would be that the police potentially already knew of their presence, hence they didn’t answer the call from the concerned resident.

I get that you’re deciding to downplay it for whatever reason, but it’s still alarming, just the same as it was when another base was broken into so people could throw paint over the aircraft inside.

[Platypus Bureaucracy]

Go on, conveniently ignore this reply.

Never said air pollution is not an issue.
Just that It wont get worse.

You said the main issue was light pollution. You would rank that over 500 deaths a week, would you?

Much of the right is at "but Katie's mum doesn't make her eat vegetables and lets her have McDonald's every night!" levels of puerility. Evidently no one ever asked GBR if he'd jump off a bridge just because all his friends did.

Don't believe we've gotten any official word on the volume of petrol involved.

The saving grace would be that the police potentially already knew of their presence, hence they didn’t answer the call from the concerned resident.

It's been reported that one of those arrested was the first to call 999.

I get that you’re deciding to downplay it for whatever reason,

I'm trying to balance your attempts to up-play this. You're talking about vans full of terrorists and accelerant as if some massive catastrophe was barely thwarted. There's no reason to suppose that except to stoke fear.

but it’s still alarming, just the same as it was when another base was broken into so people could throw paint over the aircraft inside.

RAF Fairford wasn't broken into. They were up the road from it. On a public road that anyone is allowed to be on.

It’s not “stoking fear” to want better security for military bases because of things like this.

RAF Fairford wasn't broken into. They were up the road from it. On a public road that anyone is allowed to be on.

I was referring to when Brize Norton was broken into by two idiots on electric scooters to spray paint all over a plane inside.

It is the way you're doing it. It's also just a bad idea.

I know what you're referring to. I'm saying that this incident was not the same, in that the five people arrested were never on the base.
