rooster59 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Jane Fonda, Joaquin Phoenix join climate protesters outside U.S. Congress Jane Fonda speaks during a "Fire Drill Fridays" protest calling attention to climate change at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, U.S., January 10, 2020. REUTERS/Joshua Roberts WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Veteran activist and actor Jane Fonda was joined by fellow Hollywood stars Joaquin Phoenix and Martin Sheen at the foot of the U.S. Capitol building in Washington on Friday, where they demanded action on climate change alongside other protesters. "The climate crisis makes our nation and all nations less secure," said Fonda, sporting a red hat as she was cheered on by a crowd that included Sheen. She also spoke of the fires in Australia, which have ravaged tens of thousands of square miles (km) of bushland and caused at least 27 deaths. In Sydney earlier on Friday, thousands of angry protesters had demanded that the Australian government do more to combat climate change. Last week, Phoenix used his acceptance speech at the Golden Globes - where he won an award for best actor in a drama film - to call on people to make "sacrifices" to slow down global warming. He returned to the theme at the rally. "The meat and dairy industry is the third leading cause of climate change," he said. "There is something that you can do today, right now and tomorrow by making your choice about what you consume."

mokwit Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 (edited) No, I was just making the point about how dangerous it was to call people who don't share your religion/ideology "deniers"as if yours is the one true religion/an absolute truth. There are other examples I vaguely remember that I could have used but as this is a multinational website I chose a recent one which people from the greatest spread of nationalities would recognise.

It has become something of a cult that has been hijacked by some for their own political ends. Now that the Left have got hold of it you cannot believe anything that is said. It does seem that there are material changes taking place in our climate, but the causes and the certainty this is a man made tipping point are not as certain as the MSM would have us believe. T While it may seem that the best way to proceed would be to proceed 'as if' - the actuality of doing that is massive as one poster above has outlined. Celebrities giving up their priovate jets is not enough. Edited January 12, 2020 by mokwit 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jingthing Posted January 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 12, 2020 It's no more of a cult than accepting the objective reality that smoking causes cancer or a virus causes Hiv disease. Two sides some say? Perhaps but not even close in equivalency in scientific credibility. Of course it's debatable about exactly how to deal with this now. We would have easier options if the world had taken aggressive action back when Al Gore publicized the issue. But that didn't happen. No I don't have the answers now but I'm certain that denial definitely isn't one of them. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
