It's marxist ideology wrapped in cotton wool for the simpletons to swallow.
The people running it like all socialists grift there ideology to fill their own pockets with cash from gullible people.
When these types of projects kick in, millions usually die, apart from those at the top.
We are in a serious trouble

The truth being told is that the world élite intentionally makes crises after crises.
It's like they want to destroy this Planet.

Sorry, where are you plucking these figures from?
No, the truth is that they simply don't care. It doesn't even enter their thought process, when a contract for £xx billion is being discussed.We are in a serious trouble

The truth is, we're lucky we're not young. We'll be dead before the **** well and truly hits the fan, and it will. Our gen and our parents gen have had our cake and eaten it, and the following generations are a bit stuffed, frankly.

The green movement would be a lot more credible, as a whole, if they were not so prone to flagrantly lying.
Not increasing taxes, to whatever stratospheric level some lobby group or think tank says they should set at, is not, has never been and should never be considered a government 'subsidy' as even a casual examination of that article shows that's what they are actually talking about for a lot of the headline figure.
Subsidy explicitly means a sum of money granted by the state or a public body to help an industry or business keep the price of a commodity or service low.
It does not mean the government not increasing tax rates.
By this lunacy you might consider anything less than a 100% tax rates as a 'subsidy'!

If they don't care, then we don't need them. We have to protest and choose others in charge!
The system is rigged. In any case, 50% of the electorate vote for whomever their rag of choice tells them to.
Just accept that we're ****ed, and there really isn't a damn thing anyone can do. There's too much inertia, conflicts of interest, selfishness, greed, etc, etc, baked into human society. Oh, and and apathy.
I think they do care, they want us to be enslaved and to have full control over us (they are sick).
But they will destroy this civilisation sooner or later.
They can't play the God. And will be punished.

It's what he does, just spams rubbish. You should look at the 'DAB' and the 'Best Songs Ever' threads.

You two idiots. Look at the WhatsApp thread where it is proved that the sites track your data. If this is not some type of control over you, I don't know what it is.
The system knows more about you than you know about yourselves.

I don't use WhatsApp, I don't use Facebook and I don't use Instagram. So please, feel free to tell me how they are tracking me and 'know more about me than I do'.
I don't really see the need to imagine conspiracy theories when human nature explains everything perfectly adequately.
Basically, good luck turning around a ship of some 8 billion people, when everybody wants to head in a different direction. Countries like Brazil are led by politicians who want to develop and have the same consumption rates as Western nations. Their president has already said he'll cut down the entire Brazilian Amazon if it's more profitable than keeping it (paraphrasing). And that other countries should pay Brazil to keep their rainforest (etc).
So yeah... the kind of action that scientists say is necessary (radical action) doesn't have a hope in hell of happening, and many nations want to actively develop and consume more, burn more fossil fuel, etc.
We don't have a hope. Again, it's just human nature. We cannot moderate our own actions. We simply lack the will to do it.

‘Greta is right’: climate pledges must be matched by action, say Mars executives | Business | The Guardian
"The company will tie executive pay to emissions reduction and eliminate deforestation through its supply chain
The chief executive of Mars, one of the world’s largest consumer products companies, has warned that “all too often” corporate commitments to cut greenhouse gas emissions fall short and threaten to undermine their credibility and necessary change on climate action.
Grant Reid’s comments, and those of Mars’s chief sustainability and procurement officer, Barry Parkin, come after the climate activist Greta Thunberg condemned many of the climate actions promised by global leaders as so much “blah, blah, blah”.
“We all heard Greta,” Parkin told the Guardian. “Greta is right. It’s not about the target, it’s about the progress and it’s the actions that matter.”
On Tuesday Mars, whose products include M&Ms, Twix, Royal Canin pet food and Wrigley’s chewing gum, set out new science-based climate targets to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions across its business by 2050, including all those created by its suppliers and emissions from consumers using its brands.
The company also pledged to:
“All too often key components are missing, and that will create a meaningful shortfall in our collective effort to prevent the worst impacts of climate change,” wrote Reid. “The old ways of doing business will not deliver the changes required.
“Failing to fill the gaps that exist in some current net zero commitments will undermine their credibility, and even more importantly, the climate action movement. We can’t allow that to happen.”
Parkin said Mars was seeing the impact of climate change across its business – droughts in west Africa, for example, affecting cocoa production.
“We are all starting to see the beginnings of this,” he said. “Whether in our personal lives through extreme weather events or in our business.
“We are starting to see changes in rainfall, changes in temperature which are impacting where crops can grow and impacting the lives, and that’s probably the more important thing, of those farmers.”
Parkin said it was vital for companies to start setting short-term goals as well as long-term ones, to push suppliers to tackle emissions and to be as transparent as possible about progress.
“We still have time to divert this if everybody gets on with this,” he said. “That means all countries, all governments and all companies.”
Mars has been criticized by some environmental groups for failing to reach its own climate goals. In 2020 Rainforest Action Network accused the company of “greenwashing”, arguing plans to stop deforestation by palm oil suppliers were failing and ignored the rights of indigenous people.
Other non-governmental organisations including Oxfam and the World Wildlife Fund have praised the company’s efforts. Parkin said Mars was “absolutely committed that there is zero deforestation in our supply chain by 2025”.
Mars has also committed to freezing its land footprint, expanding its business using only land it uses already.
Parkin said there was no underestimating the scale of the challenge ahead.
“The scientific consensus is that it will be very hard to get to net zero in agriculture. Perhaps the hardest sector,” he said. “You have got to revolutionize farming practices and that’s about one farmer at a time.”
A Mars survey of the company’s top 200 suppliers found that only 10% set science-based targets a year ago.
“That’s indicative of the world, of our challenge, we need every company to step up,” he said. He added that Mars was working with other companies and its suppliers to speed up that process.
Parkin said he hoped the forthcoming Cop26 United Nations climate talks in Glasgow would add impetus to the drive for coordinated change.
“There are hundreds if not thousands of companies that have made net zero commitments. We need millions of companies,” he said. “Ultimately the planet doesn’t care about the commitment, it cares about the action.”"

The company also pledged to:
- Eliminate deforestation in its supply chain
- Link executive pay to cutting greenhouse gas emission
- Challenge its 20,000+ suppliers to take climate action and set meaningful targets.

The challenging of supply chain partners is the key. Everyone uses the inability to sway China's actions as an excuse not to do anything at all, actually we have a vast amount of leverage over China at an individual corporation level as they make up vast swathes of the western supply chain. Implement green contract clauses, include green items in procurement exercises and then work with the supply chain to implement the change and you'll see significant positive results. It's extremely hard work but it can be done, it's been done before in other areas.
And you still have done nothing to help.
You should post once you have.
