Sorry I don’t use Twitter but I was referring to Micks statement on Facebook about supporting the strikes.

What Keef really thought before Jane Rose wrote a consensual message in his name... :
"Bunch of pampered little turds! They skip school so they go jerking around in the streets! In my time school was a luxury and a valuable good, so you'd think twice before you'd mess with it! Buggers!" ><

….. there was a Keith interview
from about a decade back where he
said he was worried about the climate
and what sort of a planet we were leaving for future generations ….

It's always something.
40 years ago it was "No Nukes".
Well, we still have "nukes" but now nobody cares.
Ironically, sending tweets and responding to tweets just adds to the perceived problem.
Humankind makes up 20% of CO2 emissions, and the Internet represents a continually growing percentage of that 20%:
"Sending an email, Using search engines, storing data pollute: the web generates today 2% of the CO2 emissions of the planet. And this is just the beginning of this new form of pollution. Indeed, within four years, digital pollution will represent 3 to 4% of carbon dioxide emissions … A situation that becomes alarming!"

How true. We live in an era of so much propaganda and dumbing-down. Yes, the Internet and all of those servers have a CO2 footprint. But what is the elephant in the room that "they" are forgetting? The efficiencies of using the Internet give us is a net-positive for the CO2 footprint. Fewer people have to drive to work, the can work from home. Doh! Likewise you can order goods and services without having to drive to and fro to get them. No more diving back and forth to the video club. Doh!
