I wonder if the doom goblin stayed and helped clean up the mess left behind at Glastonbury?


I mean, we all know how worried she is about the environment.

Her job is to sail around the world on a luxury yacht and lecture working people about privilege. Stop asking her to do real work!

Preach it!

She had to hurry out of there so she could make her speeches in China about their environmental policies.

And now, I just wonder how many people who went to Glastonbury would like their money back now they've realised they went to a left wing politically rally . Hell, I'm surprised doris and nicola wasn't there.

Doom goblin? You mean bringer of unpleasent truths?

I'll bet you are an expert at making predictions about what's coming in 10 years. I'll also bet that you don't read a lot about your predecessors. Y'know .. the ones making predictions 10 years ago ... 20 years ago, 30 ... etc

The earth is being steadily polluted,
fossil fuels are running out fast,

How you can toss this aside as "made up doom goblin" is mystifying

just 'cos some guesses were wrong doesn't change the fact we're headed to oblivion.

If you were driving through a desert and guaranteed to run out of fuel before the other side, and somone says I think we got 10 miles of gas , but you get to 15 miles later - you're not saved, you're still boned!

So you're admitting it's all just guesses.

No they arnt "guesses" . I thought you'd pic up on that when i typed it .
Predictions?
Forecasts?
educated guesses?
estimates (yeah i like that one)
take your pic , certainly not "wild guesses"

Its the same sort of guess as when the weatherman says "We think this hurricane will hit Florida coast in 2 days"
If in 2 days thats still "on the way" you dont think "well thats over with"

You said, and I quote, "just 'cos some guesses were wrong doesn't change the fact we're headed to oblivion." What am I supposed to pick up on again?

So, okay, some guesses. Every guess. Every prediction. Every forecast. Every estimate. All wrong. I'm old enough to remember all these end-of-the-world guesses/predictions over the last 40+ years. For God's sake, they were predicting the end of the world with the Great Barrier Reef coral cover evaporating due to climate change, yet there was a report yesterday saying it's showing its highest cover in almost 40 years. These climate scientists neglect to mention that climate change is NORMAL. Look again at what I just sent you.... those earlier ones were talking about a new ice age! Now we're all going to melt.

Al Gore's house emits more carbon in a week than I do in a year, and he 'estimated' we would be dead by now. Obama owns a house on the Atlantic but we should be worried about rising waters (which haven't risen, btw). DiCaprio is preaching about climate change while cruising around on a yacht and taking private jets to Cannes. Couldn't it be plausible these people are full of crap?
