We certainly are being nailed to a cross more and more financially and our ability to travel and no I don’t agree that certain areas ,events and people stay the same whilst the ordinary folk are limited , you might be happy to have a world where there’s one rule for the lucky few and another for the plebs and that’s your choice but I’m not onboard with that ,
seem to remember ( may be wrong ) that you are one that bangs on about working from home and such things as zoom meetings being great and more productive yet seem ok with all these clowns turning up at places all over the world in multitude s of private jets spewing out needless carbon,, by that logic then everybody needs to be getting in they’re cars and on trains and getting they’re backsides back to work properly,
await the swerve excuses for double standards ,,, if the view is we ALL need to change the way we live and stop all needless pollution then let’s have the debate if it leaves a better world for our children but I’m not interested in half baked schemes to make the world better for some and worse for the majority 

According to the BBC article I posted yesterday (from last November) the richest 1% earn over $172k and the richest 10% earn over $55k  (thats approx £143k and £45k respectively)
Agree we could all probably do more - just some (a lot) more than others.
Sports events/concerts etc is part of modern life.  So are iPhones, Computers, going to the cinema/restaurant etc.  Where do we draw the line?  How many foreign holidays do people have?
You know what cuts long airport times and fuel emissions more?  Meetings on zoom.  120 private jets at COP26, you're having a laugh.  Its starting to sound a bit like the rich and famous get to carry on because they are doing it in 'our best interests' whilst the rest of us pay the taxes and make all the compromises. 
EDIT:  I'm not really wanting a Climate Change debate tbh, we'd probably agree on more stuff than not anyway.  This thread is about XR and their antics, my point has always been they are targetting the wrong people.

Sorry ,just doesn’t work , we are either all in this together or we are not , you can’t have the ordinary mass being nailed to the cross and the rich / lucky / privileged tearing the ass out of standards they expect / preach / force others to live by , you either want to change the world and how we live or you don’t , 

It can't be done on the cheap, that's for sure.  
We had a massive chance to get ahead of the competition, and benefit financially as well as socially from it, yet its been squandered by  all sides so far, I don't see that changing. 
We'll be part of the research and  developing the solutions, then become the junior partner begging other nations for crumbs of the table for our efforts. 
 

Yup my bad, didn't look any further than the headline tbh.  Figured this was the Govt plan, turns out its jus tthe Environment Agency plan;
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/environment-agency-reaching-net-zero-by-2030
The Govt plan for net zero is indeed 2050;
https://www.gov.uk/government/news/uks-path-to-net-zero-set-out-in-landmark-strategy
Actually just took the time to read them both,  its clear that the infrastructure and technology isn't in place yet and will take significant investment (approaching £100bn) in an attempt at reaching net zero by 2050. 
Given the huge investment in infrastructure and technology and  'As the first major economy to commit in law to net zero by 2050 and hosts of the historic UN COP26 climate summit, the UK is leading international efforts and setting the bar for countries around the world to follow'  I'm still not sure what the XR protesters want.  If we could flick a switch tomorrow and magically switch to a carbon free society, it would still have a negligible (and decreasing) effect on the worlds climate.
 

Pretty much yup. 
China used more coal in 2020 than the UK has used in total since 1978 and its due to build approx another 500 coal power stations by 2030.  We could reduce our carbon output to 0% but it would have little effect on world CO2 emissions whilst crippling our economy and way of life in the meantime. 
Do I believe that climate change is real?  Sure.  Do I think we should do something about it?  Yup.  But its not the average bloke in the street that is the problem is it?  Its the jet set elite class that fly around the world virtue signalling and developing nations that XR and Greta would never dare to protest in.

Seeya next season ?

In particular to defend against the lumpball they'll play to  Matt Rhead down that slope! ?‍♀️
Alfreton saying we will play mostly first teamers as a thank you for them helping us out recently.
I am gutted to be missing this as have just rearranged a dominoes match from the night before so we can watch England Women's cricket on Monday night.
Summertime problems! 

Wasn't quite the opposition I was expecting but another chance to work on things before the season kicks off ?

What does he suggest?
- China, India & others building literally 100s of new coal power stations
https://www.newscientist.com/article/2317274-china-is-building-more-than-half-of-the-worlds-new-coal-power-plants/
- richest 1% emit insane amount of carbon
https://www.oxfam.org.uk/media/press-releases/carbon-emissions-of-richest-1-set-to-be-30-times-the-15c-limit-in-2030/
- but I'm happy paying an extra £153 during a time of massively increasing energy bills to fund their lifestyle...

- meanwhile at this years climate summit (populated by around 120 private jets)

- I am however always pleased to be preached to by those condemning climate change inaction

And more match reaction here… this time from some of the forum posters…

Well if it was based on that game, no you wouldn’t, but it’s not just based on that game.
The one time he beat his man with some good skill, he stopped and let the man get back in position. ?‍♂️
 
But only Roberts and Wildsmith got any real credit for me and Thompson was unbelievably poor on the oppo end of the spectrum.

Yeah heard that, didn't he say something along the lines of you'll talk about that tomorrow?  Guessing it will be announced in the morning.

China, India, Brazil are just 3 countries that are sticking their fingers up and saying...up yours, Lets just say we the UK get to zero by 2050, But China and India are still pumping out a colossal amount of fossil fuels, The results of them still burning and the smoke will still go up in the air and circulate around the world.
China and India supply a massive amount of our consumables, What do our companies do...tell them to go fourth, Yesterday and today, I went out running/walking at 5-30am...stuck inside all day these last 2 days, Those Children who come after me(Grandchildren of 11-8)are going to inherit an overpopulated earth that will eventually end in War ?‍♀️
