I was looking for the FoE position or air flights and found this poll on
their site ..........


Are there no groups in the UK who oppose these two groups


You were asking for evidence of the 'green' position I had talked about.


Yes, I did, You made it sound like they were totalitarians, with
secret cabinets, brown-shirted secret police and so on. Other groups
might imply there is a groundswell of opposition. Are the "greens" the
only game in town? Or are you the lone donkey, braying opposition in
the wilderness?

'Other groups' are not the point. 'Other groups' don't make claims for AGW
either.


You were talking about what political parties are doing. Christ, but
you're an emotional one. Calm down, have some tea. Maybe you should
have a crumpet too. I prefer strumpets.

Your obfuscation is getting tiring. I can only assume you're not actually
interested in the subject and just want to argue sematics.


What I'm wondering is why you're so worked up about it. There are
fringe groups here too, concerning all sorts of things from far right
to far left. So you have a continuum there from "Actively fight AGW
using any means" to "do nothing, AGW is not an issue" to "stop air
travel and all technology and go to an agrarian civilization like
there was in the sixteenth century". I do not know the UK as far as
where these groups fall in the continuum.

I fail to see what the big deal is. Your population will decide for
itself what it's willing to do. If your labour or conservative parties
do politically unpopular things, they will lose their power. If you're
in the minority, then too bad. In our case here, we Dems were in the
majority in 2000 and *still* had to put up with bushie and his cabal.
Most people I talk to here either want to do more concerning AGW or
they are not paying attention and don't care one way or the other. If
your population feels like you do, then there's nothing to worry
about.

Clearly


You jump to a lot of conclusions.
