Easiest would be to leave them there and just drive round them and oops, was that your hand I just crushed? Or jet wash them, that's how you normally clean shit off the roads.

Went down my local club this afternoon (sports/working mans) and it's surprising how switched on the average Joe is. We're talking plumbers, plasterers, labourers etc. but they all know what's going on at Davos, WHO, the Spanish Covid passport scam, booster bollox and Climate Change grifting... none of that's on the BBC News and barely in the red tops AFAIK

Hadn't realised the insanity had spread so far:

Camouflaged figures lurking in the bush expose Australia's angst over climate activists

It seems to follow the same pattern: use extreme tactics to protest and bait the government into drafting more draconian laws. Education on Climate Change or a subtle way to push world governments towards authoritarianism? Releasing Covid-19 had similar effects, especially in Oz

Note to self: buy more tin foil.

Doing what the activists want would wreck the economy and cause thousands if not millions of deaths.
It is not surprising that draconian rules are put in place by degrees ( ).

The increased surveillance and control of free movement is the real goal or at least a useful by product. Both covid and climate are pretty much imaginary disasters which nobody would have noticed if not given saturation coverage and had $billions spent on them.

I know it's a bit boring but why should we wear hair shirts when China and India wouldn't? At least for the foreseeable future.

Interestingly if the effects of Climate Change are as dramatic as the grifting doom mongers totally unbiased scientists make out it could only benefit China. If the Artic ice cap melts permanently they have a whole new shipping route instead of relying on the Straits of Malacca.

I saw an interesting graphic showing that China now burns more coal than the rest of the world combined.
The reason behind it is simple enough, so much stuff we used to make here is now made there and shipped out.
We exported our CO2 footprint and in order to be even greener want to boost that further by making producing almost everything - even food - uneconomic here.

"The sins of the [great-great-great-grand] Father." Oh yes, the ideologs love that one A simple lie for the easily bewildered. It's only true for America and mostly from the '60s onwards. You'd need all of Europe's industry from a century before WWII to get even close.

But as for catch-up I think China went from a net exporter to massive importer of oil in the last decade. And power generation is still lots and lots of coal as that's one resource China has a lot of. Even so they still import almost 10% of what they consume.

Obviously China would be the most polluting country in the world, probably about the same as the rest of the top ten added together

It occurs to me that we need all this climate change, since it will produce more severe weather events which we need to power all these wind turbines.

Pakistan minister says West has 'responsibility' to help with floods as it's caused climate change

*lights brazier whilst scoffing a load of Big Macs*

[chickenstrip]

Pffft. We don't want Pakistan anyway.

Oh, and by the way, aren't we rehousing them all here? Cheeky buggers!

I'm fine with guilt when it's justified I just don't tolerate hypocrisy.
