    Sadly, just to let everyone know, these two young chaps do actually believe there is a “climate crisis,” which somewhat undermines their efforts. Still, at least they gave JSO some payback so well done for that.

    Ooh you rebel you! 😉 I saw that in passing earlier actually. Was there any mention of cause of death? No apologies for this being my default mindset these days, especially for the younger folk…

    It could be said that rather than undermining their efforts it actually magnifies them. For CC Sceptics, this is popcorn time.

    It isn’t about a climate crisis. Were we ever brought up to think that the climate would stay the same forever. The growth of crisis cults at the end of empires is nothing new and perfectly understandable from a psychospiritual point of view. You imagine that you are thirteen years old now and trying to be an optimist, You would need some serious serotonin levels.

    There is the sulky admission that somewhere in the last few years we diminished in power. No government will ever mention those points for obvious reasons but that they have shut our mouths against speaking about them is quite something. Not entirely of course and obviously our side has the best and the brightest on side. But the audacity of the attack should never be forgotten and that the last three years have been horrible but the next three years will be on an entirely different level.

    ‘Is this just rampant snobbery?”

    Of course it is.

    And of course there is a climate crisis that will destroy civilisation. It’s called ‘climate change’.

    It’s been going on for millions of years.

    It will kill all of mankind eventually.

    But the betting is that we will have done that to ourselves long before climate change, hot or cold, asteroids or anything else can do their worst.

    They are coming from a particular rasa. In Vedic philosophy there are nine rasas. Rasa can roughly be translated as mood but it is more the spirit in which you enter into things. If you had their spirit you would cling to climate catastrophism, it would fit perfectly. In England the demoralisaton is the same in the highest paying schools and the lowest state schools. They all get off their tits just with different substances. This current mood of the country simply isn’t up to the task it really does have to change. I have no prescriptions just the understanding of the lateness of the hour.

    Honestly all of this nonsense talk is going to seem like wasted breath in the near future. Just focus on what your heart tells you is important.

    It does state ”hereditary heart condition” for this lad, who happened to be from the same club. Hereditary heart conditions have obviously always existed but the obvious question everybody should ask nowadays in order to rule it out as a cause is ”did they get the Covid jab?” This news is just continuous.

    Here’s my hat-trick. Best leave it there or I’ll be here all day! 🙁 This one was just down to the stress of the World Cup apparently, although she won’t be playing now so there is that….

    ”Breakout World Cup star Linda Caicedo may not feature again in the tournament after the Colombian collapsed at training in distressing scenes that were caught on video.
    The young gun, 18, was rushed to hospital and was unconscious for at least 90 seconds as medics and terrified team-mates rushed to her aid at the team’s base in Sydney.
    The rising star was later released from hospital but is unlikely to feature in her country’s match against Germany on Sunday.”
