The_DADDY Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 7 minutes ago, Anna B said: The world has a great many problems. Some of them surprisingly simple, and well within the wit of man to solve, yet 'the experts' still haven't managed to sort them out. They have not been able to bring clean drinking water to every community. They have not been able to distribute food to all those that need it, yet preside over an overweight, bloated society with food to spare. If they cant get the feasible stuff right, what makes people think they can handle the tricky stuff? Experts can be part of the problem. I'm not saying they can't be useful, but their arrogance is sometimes astounding and belongs in the 'do as I say, not as I do' world. They all have taskmasters with vested interests which muddies the water and has them pulling in different directions, which is of no help to anyone. Beware experts, or at least temper them with a bit of critical thinking. They sometimes do more harm than good. Good post that Anna. I'd also like to add all those hypocritical 'expert' celebrities who preach to the common man how we should use less, walk further, go without whilst they travel in chauffeur driven limos and private jets.

Was your previous job that of MP? You can say anything you want if you twist the meaning of words. Our MPs are not experts. 1 hour ago, The_DADDY said: I'd also like to add all those hypocritical 'expert' celebrities who preach to the common man how we should use less, walk further, go without whilst they travel in chauffeur driven limos and private jets. Surely if people walk and cycle more, reuse containers etc they will save money, so they can visit their children in London/Australia etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much greenwashing going on, and not enough real solutions being applied. Profit is still sacrosanct it seems.

trastrick Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 (edited) Global warming has been ultra hyped for years. Politicians lie all the time about it. It's a political treasure trove. A huge money pit! $trillions needed to fine tune the Earth's weather 50 or 100 years from now! And WE HAVE TO ACT NOW! BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!, as they say in all hyped up commercial advertising!
