One of the founders of what would become the Green Party of England and Wales has declared "it's too late" to save the environment.
Michael Benfield, who helped set up the new political movement in the 1970s, said he believed the "battle for the world's environmental survival" was "at this moment, lost".
"I think we have succeeded in helping to educate... but we have failed in dealing with the battle for environmental survival.
The scale of the solutions which he believed were necessary would be simply too unpalatable for any political party to propose, he argues.
The focus now, he thought, would have to be on mitigation.
"It doesn't mean to say that we can't perhaps do other things to put things right, but it's a very dire situation that we have," Mr Benfield said.

Uh-huh, so sayeth the group that’s been wrong around...100% of the time.
failed in dealing with the battle for environmental survival.
Then by all means, just commit suicide en masse.
For the good of all.
Live your dream.
It’s too late
To fall in love with Sharon Tate
But it’s too soon
To ask me for the words I want carved on my tomb

Meanwhile, the rest of us can build more coal power plants.
Nah in this case it’s let’s do communism anyway. Or maybe suicide for thee but not for me.
And the sky falls once again!
Yep, all the trees are dead. All the animals are extinct. All the data claiming the contrary has been deleted.
Damned imbeciles.
From what? Hard to believe there are that many fidiots out there that have bought this crap. The last ice age wasn’t that log ago assclowns. Why did it end? SAF wasn’t friggin’ SUVs. Fookin’ idjits! My head hurts. 🤔😵💫🐂💩
Great… so then maybe you can STFU?
The first rule in politics is the same as the first rule in sales. Create a sense of urgency. Act now as supplies are limited! This deal valid only for the next hour. Coupon valid only through the fifth. Or, in politics, if we don’t act now, we’ll all drown in less than ten years! The situation will be irreversible! (I’ve been hearing this hysteria since grade school in the sixties. Total death and disaster, or peak oil, or over population, was always just ten years away. I can’t tell you how tired I am of it, but I guess it still serves to create hysteria in the young or ill-informed.)
Saying the situation is already too late is pretty much admitting that the sale has failed. It’s also stupid for sales. It’s saying, in effect, hey, you could have saved the world, but it’s too late.
I guess we should all go to our mountain redoubt and close the door after us. Incidentally, the premise behind many movies and TV shows is that global warming happened, and the story is as a result of that. As soon as the narrator says something to that effect, I click it off.

Well may have to just move on to outer space or another

Unscientific mental illness.
There are more trees in the US now than there was 150 years ago,
The air in the US is cleaner now than 100 years ago.
The “environmental crisis” is in shit hole countries with non white people. When will the greens realize this and go full eugenics?
Ok, then, lets stop all this green energy alarmism nonsense and get on with out fossil fuel lives.
our fossil fuel lives.
Nice chart—if it was bigger 2020 could have gotten a mention:

This is one of my favorites because not only did .gov get the prediction massively and totally wrong but they tried to hide it like thieves in the night.
Then they doubled down with vague gloom and doom predictions.
You can’t get much scummier than that.
Ok, so shut up about it since it’s too late.
