Julia Hartley-Brewer to Green Party peer Baroness Jenny Jones: "I can't imagine what it must be like to go through life basically as part of a Doomsday cult, thinking the world is in such a terrible position."

Let me put it simply. People are consumers; the world has limited resources. The people driving us to Doomsday are those who are wilfully ignorant.

It seems more gleefully ignorant at this point

Agree. I'm not a hippy, I don't identify with the green movement, I eat way too much red meat, I'm just a normal person, but it seems self evident what's happening and if you're not terrified, then you don't understand what's happening and what will happen within our lifetimes.

It's was all written down 48 years ago in "The Limits to Growth". Their projections are basically correct. We are hitting multiple limits simultaneously - soil erosion, climate change, mass extinctions, deforestation, plastic pollution, etc, and our ability to cope is imploding.

The tipping point and runaway climate change is backed by science. A death cult glorifies and obsesses over death. There's no glorification here and any obsession is IMO warranted by the severity of the predicted harm.

I wish that was true. Artic is giving off methane which is a greenhouse gas in itself. The methane feedback loop has started 70 years earlier than predicted. Ice melt accelerating all over the world. It's not good.

The worse thing about all this? They’re frightening the children to death. It’s bordering on child abuse. Children being interviewed and breaking down in tears because they’re frightened the world is going to end in 18? 14? months or whenever these lunatics are saying lately?

No different from when our school screened Threads and we spent the entire 80s waiting to die in a thermonuclear fire.

Thing is, back then, although I was in the RN, kids had more backbone and were less prone to snowflakery. They seem very fragile and quite impressionable these days. Just saying.

we're in the age of pseudo-science, people will now believe anything.
-
See, that's the wonderful thing about science. You don't need to believe a thing because every validated theory is backed by experiment and peer review.

I'm like you. Can't stand these miserable doomsters. I'm going to just carry on consuming - naturally. I'll be concerned about pollution etc at the same time. But it'll be fine. Cheer up. Have a gin.pic.twitter.com/JexGp2AbAt

Which specific death cult are you comparing it to Julia? Christianity? Islam? Jonestown? Heaven’s Gate? The Branch Davidians? BoJo’s No Deal Brexit Death Cult...the most dangerous of them all. You don’t half spout some nonsense.
