If the “2030 climate change target” is out of reach in Scotland, surely it must be out of reach in the rest of the UK?
But what was “the target”?
If it was to cause a reduction in some NASA/GISS/UNFCC figure called “global temperature” then setting such a target was clearly insane: in setting a target an organisation is claiming that it really has control “levers” that it can adjust to converge on that target.
If the target was, more realistically, to achieve at least X% of power generated by “green” sources and Y% of new cars to be electric, and Z% of the populace to be vaccinated then at least the organisation stood a chance, because ultimately it can legislate, tax and enforce in an attempt to achieve that target, risking being removed by a rebellious populace.
If the target was to effect global transfer of wealth from poor people in rich countries to rich people in poor countries, and from West to East, then the target is still in the sights and is achievable, but at the cost of curtailing democracy.
Doubtless the UN will shift the goal-posts so as to create the impression of hitting targets. Doubtless the UK will construct a community of Potemkin Villages, each with its windmill and solar farm, in order to demonstrate to the passing WEF Tsars how well their programme is progressing.
Yet the other day some silly posh middle aged ladies with nice clothes and dignified manners in Switzerland all clamoured to be protected from climate change by their government. The ECHR duly obliged in a court case. ——-But your little joke about “Potemkin Villages” isn’t a joke after all as I see in my local paper the East Fife Mail, which has in recent years just turned itself into a part Political broadcast for the Green party, has an article about an Off Grid Communal Housing experiment. The idea being that people can live “without the Earth’s resources” ——The local SNP councillor said “I am in full support and the more we see of these around the better”—-So he is happy to see families living in tiny little eco dwellings which will “require minimal heating and water and have no sewage output”. ——This suits the silly SNP just fine as they are one of the most draconian bunch of phony planet saving dreamers around.
I think the off grid Communal Housing experiment used to be called Tenements where one family lived in one room with no heating, water source or toilet and shared an outdoor water pump and toilet with scores of others.
“approximately 4% of gay or lesbian people reported being forced to
evacuate their home due to a natural disaster compared with 1.2% of
heterosexual people.”
88% of statistics are made up, the other 25% are accurate data.
“Why are the mainstream media suddenly desperate to begin spuriously linking climate change back to various ostensibly unrelated woke issues like transgenderism and prostitutes rights”?——–Because climate change is just another left wing cause and the Liberal Progressives like to link them altogether in one big Eco, Race, Gender, Equality and Diversity Fest.
I suggest a different explanation: There’s £³, $³ and €³ in climate change and the alphabet soup ‘charities’ (etc) absolutely do want share of this pie as well.
You explanation is also true. There are a whole bunch of reasons for the eco socialist scam and those who feed at the climate trough
Yes the Leftards can’t get enough of this garbage insanity. Just the latest attack on the German AfD here. Will they ever catch the culprits, or is this yet another story that’ll disappear into the ether, unsolved?
”German state security services are investigating an arson attack against an Alternative for Germany (AfD) politician’s moving business in the Saale district of Schkopau, with five out of his six trucks set completely ablaze while the remaining one was badly damaged.
The Hohenweiden moving company, owned by local AfD politician Sven Ebert, has been targeted in the past, including suspected Antifa groups that hit his company with paint attacks.
The arson attack produced a blaze so intense that the flames could be seen up to 10 kilometers away in Halle an der Saale. The resulting damage is estimated to cost several hundred thousand euros. The police are investigating a potential political motive.
Ebert has eight branches of his moving company in total in central Germany, but the targeted fleet represented nearly the company’s entire fleet at that location. The company plans to continue operations with rental vehicles.”

Arson attacks are what German antifascists do when they want to relax after a week of strenuous political activism and the culprits aren’t going to be caught because they people supposed to search for them know who they are.
Reminds me of the film Offensive. A recommended watch if you have not seen it. Reel Review: Offensive (2016) – Morbidly Beautiful
Thanks but I never watch movies and the plot summary certainly didn’t change my opinion on that.
All the hatred, anger, eco terrorism, name calling, gluing of hands to roads and buildings etc all comes from the eco looney left. You never see people in favour of coal and gas damaging property or “demanding” we “save our prosperity” from the phony planet savers. —-It is ALL THEM, and if we don’t nip these people in the bud now instead of letting them off with a slap on the wrist then some very bad things are going to happen and lots of people are going to be hurt or killed because when you are so convinced the world is going to end you are capable of anything.

Can we have Intersectional Fascism next? (Some may say we already do…)
That reminds me of the famous slogan….Fight for the rights of whites with boots & fists ready.
Help.
I cant understand how moving peat from a bog where it dont absorb CO2 to my allotment where it helps plants absorb CO2 is A BAD THING.
I am in danger of losing my allotment if I ask the committee
Oh and why do all the lefties against peat compost cut down tree in Plymouth, sheffield etc
