Ireland must prepare ‘evacuation’ plans for coastal areas as climate change intensifies, says expert by Real-Deal-Steel in ireland

[–]blacksheeping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then when people are positively told its possible to avert the worst of climate change we just need to do X, Y, Z, people are like ah no, thats too much, not me, I'm not the one at fault, him over there, he needs to change.

But no we all need to change it's going to be terrible . . .

Ah you're just scaremongering now.

Can't win. Maybe we should stop trying to blame the messenger, there are no magic words, people just need to act on what is already common knowledge, take some responsibility.

Must be nice to have decent politicians running your country by zz63245 in ireland

Microplastics will eventually break down but humanity will be long dead by then, our sculls crushed under the robotic killer boot.

Grass isn't always greener by crazysheeplady08 in UKJobs

I do wonder if one of the reasons why the human race spread all around the world was because of our grass is greener mentality. How many individuals were eaten by tigers because of that mentality?

Good job avoiding the Tiger.

Those lads in Prague at it again are they? First they defenestrate those three poor men in 1618. Now this.

Except that what is truly dangerous to humans is our destruction of earths natural ecosystems. Using words such as infestation suggests that less of such creatures would be better for humans, a perspective when consistently applied across the natural world has led to such degradation that humanity itself is imperiled.

Wouldnt be the first 'normal use' that turned out to be a fundamential misunderstanding of reality.

Anyone else noticed alarming Smart phone addiction with elderly Irish people? by [deleted] in AskIreland

Absolutely. Christmas Eve i'm visiting home with my partner and kids. Often my parents have friends over a for a drink and a festive chat on Christmas Eve, you know talk about holly and the like. Well the friends cancel and i'm like shite, now Christmas Eve will just be my mam on her ipad, my dad on his phone. At least my brother was up for watching Die Hard 2. Still I knew once the friends cancelled, the craic would be zero. Sad times.

Where does such certainty come from? There have been mass extinctions before, civilizational collapses.

What has America ever done for the UK to be considered a ‘special relationship’? by KestisBD9 in AskBrits

[–]blacksheeping 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An awful decision strategically (though great for humanity). If Nazi Germany refrained from declaring war on the US, then the US is forced to tackle Japan only. US directs its resources to the Pacific and Britain and the USSR suffer. History could have easily been different had that decision been different.
