I can assure you it was seen as very impractical at the time that black and white children go to the same school.
Interesting that you denigrate their backgrounds, would you be more inclined to listen to them if they were poor and uneducated, why?
Well so far nobody is listening and if left unchecked the consequences will be dire.

Revealed: wealthy western countries lead in global oil and gas expansion
The US and the UK among countries with low dependence on fossil fuels criticized for ‘hypocrisy’ on climate pledgeswww.theguardian.com
i guess it is more that they look like hypocrites...... they have their great upbringing with all the privileges that the lifestyle brings, whilst making lives miserable for those who have less....... Also i wonder how many of them walk the walk.I can assure you it was seen as very impractical at the time that black and white children go to the same school.

History shows you that civilised protest achieves nothing. At least aviation is a legit target unlike museums and stonehenge.No more dire than if we stop oil now.
I’m all for the cause and protest by the way, but there’s a civilised way to go about it.
personal carbon budget would be an interesting proposal but i am not sure it could work. some peoples work needs travel, and you can bet your bottom $ this would be exploited by wealthy people who want to travel that it was all for "work".Aviation it is legit to demand why aviation fuel isn't taxed like petrol - disproportionate climate damage prerogative for the few ,

Problem is moving to more friendly alternatives cost money, money the majority of people do not have to spare. Owning an EV is ludicrously expensive and out of reach for most people. Same with solar or whatever other green method you bring up, it's just no where near affordable.i guess it is more that they look like hypocrites...... they have their great upbringing with all the privileges that the lifestyle brings, whilst making lives miserable for those who have less....... Also i wonder how many of them walk the walk.
I am no angel here I admit i used to have a 2 seater ice sports car, am sure the perfect example of the sort of polluting waste that they hate......... however I have moved over to cleaner technology, not because i dont miss having a nice petrol car, but because i accept there is not longer a place for them on our roads.... (I also accept my EV is not the most efficient either, tho to be fair i do need a larger main vehicle for our family stuff).
imo they would win more people over with honey not with vinegar.
China are absolutely nailing the renewable energy generation. Yes they still burn a huge amount of FF, including coal.................. but i wonder how much of that is just binnable junk for the western world.Best to go fight the cause in US and China then, seeing as the new Labour Government here will surely have a plan to move away from granting new licenses. Seems like we are going in the right direction, certainly more than US/China?
Absolutely this.Problem is moving to more friendly alternatives cost money, money the majority of people do not have to spare. Owning an EV is ludicrously expensive and out of reach for most people. Same with solar or whatever other green method you bring up, it's just no where near affordable.
These morons can keep complaining all they like about it, but it's not going to change until it's made affordable to the masses.
again that is a bit of a dodge.... because its not like those people are going to go out and buy ANY brand new car............Absolutely this.
Plenty of our customers whose cars fail the MOT for say £200 or less of repairs have to wait until they get paid until they can afford it, and there’s not a cat in hells chance of them affording an EV.
It’s easy for those with the money to keep droning about “change” but a lot of people genuinely do not have the funds.
I mean, you have to take your hat off to that one. Proper risky though! I could see an airline refusing a passenger like that easily enough...I forgot to mention this, one of the best wind ups ever.
I was in Manchester Airport the other week and a bloke was walking through the inside of the departure bit of the airport with a Just Stop Oil t-shirt on.
It was strange because he just kept walking up and down and he was getting some nasty responses and of course the obvious "Well why are you here catching a plane" etc.
It was about 30 minutes later I found out he was the Stag of a Stag Do and his mates had made him wear it![]()
that reminds me of Die Hard.......... 3 i think it was.I forgot to mention this, one of the best wind ups ever.

They wouldn't refuse completely only that he'd need to change his t-shirt.I mean, you have to take your hat off to that one. Proper risky though! I could see an airline refusing a passenger like that easily enough...
Mind you by just walking up and down he sets a significantly better example than most JSO protestors!
