Mate, this is very meta with the OP in a bad way. Dismissing someone this way really goes against the values here. Not everyone had the chance to take higher education courses. And not having that chance does not invalidate immediately their views.

It was never about reality. By simply stating it repeatedly the damage is done. Now we pick up the pieces.

The average person in the developed world is an active part of the problem - not much out fault to be honest, we are (all here I assume) part of a social system and it’s very hard to live within limits when the whole country is functioning much beyond. Just by BEING in the UK your carbon footprint goes +1.5TonsCO2/year from public service and infrastructure emissions… (if you’re in Switzerland it’s 4+Tons)

They’ve definitiy gained points from me here. I’m no fan of Rachel Reaves and the policies they implemented so far looked like a crossover between Lib-Dem and Torries.

Elle est belle notre France… Joke aside, this might be cultural. I’ve not seen these behaviours being so widespread in other countries I lived in (the UK, Finland, Germany, Japan). Maybe thinking about putting some sort of collective monitoring in place to limit the impact of these?

Is this what you expect would happen, or what you actually observed in such events?
