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.

So, when do the Greens disband?
Isaiah 51:6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.
IMO that should read “make *all* little girls cry again”.
National Lampoon...they did some great stuff.
Good, then we can stop trying. Full Fracking, ahead!
The use of coal is growing rapidly in countries that are not suicidal. Electric vehicles are much heavier and thus require more power than an ICE vehicle. Oil and coal extraction are less energy intensive and cleaner than lithium. CO2 is not a pollutant. Electricity is far more expensive than oil and gas. A warming climate may be a good thing for humanity and rising CO2 levels are greening the Planet. Government intervention in energy policy will cause much more suffering than the imagined problem being pushed by the Global Communist movement.
Does he pretend the air and water is no cleaner now than then?
Okay, let's enjoy our last days...DRILL, BABY DRILL...I'm going to light my gas stove... 🤓
Remember the past?
1960s, Green House Effect caused by...pollution!
1970s, Coming Ice Age brought on by...Pollution!
1990s, Global Warming caused by...Pollution!
And how bad was it in the past as compared to now?
Before 1970, rivers caught on fire from oil slicks.
Lead was in everything from paint to gasoline. Mercury was in everything. Cities had excessive smog days.
Cancer causing food colors were in everything.
Autos belched lead laden exhaust fumes. No Catalytic converters back then.
Nothing had emission controls, power plants belched black smoke 24 hours a day.
Oil refineries belched yellow sulfur fumes from the stacks.
DDT, Dioxin, PCBs were in everything.
Every city had it’s private trash dump where you could dump anything. ANYTHING.
Flush your toilet and the waste went straight into the local streams and rivers.
You fed cattle grain, then ran hogs behind to eat the cow waste, the ran chickens behind to eat the waste grain in hog waste. Cut the meat up with the same saw and sell it to the public.
Change your oil in your car and you just pour the old oil on the ground. Same for diesel fuel.
The Mississippi River at St Louis was clogged with animal fats from the slaughter houses.
And people think it is bad now. It is nothing like the past.
Change started much further back for this land.

Columbus left Castile in August 1492 with three ships and
made landfall in the Americas on 12 October, ending the
period of human habitation in the Americas now referred
to as the pre-Columbian era. His landing place was an
island in the Bahamas, known by its native inhabitants
as Guanahani.
It didn’t take to long before the new comers went to Africa
and began bringing in their natives to do a lot of the
physical labor from the house work to field work. But life
goes on with adaptations made for good or bad including a
civil war from Apr 12, 1861 – Apr 9, 1865. Enjoy your
appointed time above ground.

Mr Cutler Er, Cutler, Staffordshire. Um ... well, Mr Chairman, it's just that most of the members in Staffordshire feel... the whole thing's a bit silly.
Sir William Silly! SILLY!! (he pauses and thinks) Silly! I suppose it is, a bit. What have we been doing wasting our lives with all this nonsense? (hear, hear) Right, okay, meeting adjourned for ever.

Good, So, now shut up about it.
Oh, OOOh, lookie! Martians over there!
Go whing about them for a few decades now.
Back in school (1970’s) I remember the teacher saying something like there were only 30 years of oil left.
If true, what good would it do to conserve, I thought.
Cut back by 20% and there’s still only 36 years left.
That wasn’t the intended message but it’s the one I received.
That was my first thought.
