Sydney has it's desalination plant running. We don't need the water as dams are full & at the risk of overflowing. Apparently it is cheaper to turn salt water in fresh water & stick it down the drain rather than turn the plant off. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

3landertwo, Have you read it, as all I see is that it was report generated by a random selection of the population.

Am I wrong?

We need to do something about climate change, although I do not see that short term (knee jerk) solutions are always the best.

This is a (very) long problem and it requires long term thinking, i.e. not just banning cars and starting cycling. FL2 XS SD4 Auto 2010 2012-2017 (21k - 91k miles) (MY2011)

this is where the 'lefties' come from .


How were the assembly members selected?
This was a real task. First, the organisers sent 30,000 invitation letters to people across the country.
Then 80% of those receiving an invitation were randomly selected from every address in Royal Mail's Postcode Address File.
The remaining 20% were randomly selected from the most deprived areas within the same file, because response rates are estimated to be lower from these postcodes.
This way, a pool of potential participants was created. The administrators then used computer random sampling to select the participants across a range of age, gender, education, ethnicity, address, urban and rural areas, and pre-existing attitudes to climate change.

Still don't see why you say *lefties" as it is stated that all postcodes were considered in selection.

Or is it anything in your world that you disagree with must be "leftie"?

Or are people only allowed to have YOUR opinion?

Not everyone who is concerned about climate change is a "leftie".

Many are just concerned parents or grand-parents who wish to express a view on how this world will be for ther families.

You don't have to agree with their view, but should uphold their right to express it. Andy

Can see where the title is coming from although as said above not everyone who is concerned about climate change is a ' Leftie ', so maybe a bit misleading but personally I think these Extinction Rebellion folk need to sort themselves out and clean up their act as they are forcing ordinary folk away from what matters by their actions. A few examples.....

Celebs jumping on the bandwagon ( but flying from USA to join a protest !! )

The mob in Cardiff who blocked Castle Street with a boat ( only for said boat to be later seen on a trailer in a petrol station whilst the gas guzzling SUV was being filled with the devil's deisil and was later seen pulled over due to amount of pouring out the back end )

Merkel demanding the West cleans up its act whilst still pouring millions into crap German brown coal.

Welsh Assembly ( I can't bring myself to call it Government ) claiming Wales is in a climate emergency so M4 relief road is not needed but Aberthaw is still importing Russian coal .


Rant over, sorry.

 If it wasn't so bad it'd be funny.

However they did it, the sample of 108 is far too small to be statistically significant for the population of the UK. It is actually so small that it will inherently introduce bias. A common mistake of first year university students when planning their first research project, but usually quickly addressed by their supervisor. Everyone can spread it - Anyone can catch it. Stay home - the life you save can be your own!

Its people who want to take the world backwards, instead of heading forwards.

Stop this ..... Stop that ..... do what the lefties want to experiment with .....

Ride a bike ..... use a scooter .... ban SUV's will NO clear alternative.

Call our children Moon, Fanta, Om (yes really !!) , Mylz .......

Shall I go on ???


AS Navi posted it's the minority wanting to change the world for the MAJORITY !!
When will this stop ?

I heard a reference today to children being picked up from school by their "carers". I thought it meant for disabled kids but no, these are ordinary able bodied kids and apparently you are not allowed to use the term "parents".  3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto
5 x FL2 4 manual + 1 auto
Now Discovery Sport P250 MHEV SE

a classic example of minorities wanting to change the majority !!

how many kids have 'carers' ? now they may have relatives that help parents. The term carers to me are kids who live in care.

I'm a parent ......... certainly not a carer ! Imagine your child introducing you to one of their friends as "these are my carers"

Please Please stop these lefties taking over the world.

I agree, you don't sound like a carer, more like someone who doesn't give a flying . MY11 SD4 SE Auto

some people just didn't have a uni education and failed to join the debating society.

how many of the lefties fitted that criteria ?

Carers !!!! FFS.
