How strangely surprising.

Not really I did think something was strange when I heard they had negotiated with police which sites they would block. They where allowed to stay longer than you would have imagined as well, they also got a lot of media coverage unlike the yellow vests so it's obvious they aren't a threat to the establishment.

It's quite hard going watching the clip but as you say it's content is very interesting. I am not in favour of heavy handed policing (as that often leads to "martyrdom" scenarios, often carefully orchestrated ones) However I have been surprised that they have been allowed so much leeway.
Often with these kind of things, it is hard to decide the truth and how much might be conspiracy theory.

I agree the clip is hard work, the article that there is a link to as well is much easier and basically says the same things. It was when I heard they had negotiated with police which locations they would block that my alarm bells started ringing.

It's not usual to have the Polar caps covered in ice. We're still in an Ice Age. The Earth needs warming up, not cooling down!

From a purely geological standpoint Foxy is correct. The cycles of ice ages and warm periods is quite fascinating, especially as we often cannot ascertain exactly what the causes of the climate shifts were. This is one of the problems I have with the doom mongers. They are people who know that humans are going to cause the earth to warm to such a degree that we will all be extinct. This is total bollox, we don't and cannot know the exact causes of such changes as they are far too complex and involve factors that we are presently unable to assess. It could as well be that the extra CO2 being produced by humans is the only thing that has stopped the earth sliding back into another ice age. It seems that humans have developed as a species so swiftly mostly because of a series of developmental bottlenecks produced by near extinction events. Maybe another is due. edit for addition due to reasonable criticism

Yes I understand this John. But the thread is not about climate change. It's about venture capitalists hijacking the environmental agenda to make yet more profit.

Yes, I watched the whole video. Large corporations 'getting into bed wiv da Yoof' but really just using the idiots, could well be true. But it's not natural to have a frozen North Pole and Antartica covered in ice sheets.

Just like the manufacturers of bottled water at all these marathons, all cashing in! Get those twats running in hamster wheels and producing electricity, if they want to run. The winner is the person who produces the most electricity in 2 hours.

"An ice age causes enormous changes to the Earth's surface. ... Scientists have recorded five significant ice agesthroughout the Earth's history: the Huronian (2.4-2.1 billion years ago), Cryogenian (850-635 million years ago), Andean-Saharan (460-430 mya), Karoo (360-260 mya) and Quaternary (2.6 mya-present)."
What is it you think we should do about clever 'venture capitalists' manipulating things so they can keep raking it in, kris? I'm not sure what you are aiming at here. Are you worried about your pension disappearing? Should we round up 'venture capitalists' and put them in a gladiatoral arena and have them fight it out, letting the winner emerge - and then what? Richard Branson vs Mark Zuckerberg? But then another 'venture capitalist' will only televise these 'games' and make money by selling the programmes. How about fur coats and dropping acid in rabbits' eyes for the cosmetics industry?
