I see that with everything going on in the world at the moment the news that Phillip Schofield was leaving ITV was the lead item on BBC News At Ten last night and they devoted quite a lot of time to it deeming it much more important than the Russians bombing a hospital in Ukraine

Unless I have missed something they report the protest but not the content of the lecture?

I did wonder how long it would take to link the BBC's obsession with climate change with mental health...

This is because we are being brainwashed with a load of tax making b Ollox
Fundamentally it’s all about money because they won’t allow an alternative viewpoint. You know, one that at least explains it probably won’t become worst case scenario on the environment. Once all the 40 somethings are dead the remaining ones will have sucked up all the bull crap and submit.

The BBC are not doing any "linking". They are reporting that someone who was working in studying the impact of climate change started to feel depressed by the lack of action.

That's a serious story. If someone who truly knows what's happening reacts in this way it needs to be explained to people.

The 'mental health' card is being used as effectively as the 'race card' used to be. It's a get out of jail card where you don't have to explain anything really.
"I think it impacts me, so it must be real"

 


I disengage, I turn the page.

News dumbing-down at it's finest. Don't get expensive information from validated sources, go for the cheap stuff that the masses will suck up and pay good money for.

You can't have an alternative view on facts - there is next to no disagreement amongst experts in this field.

No it's not.

Plenty of people struggle with mental health issues for all sorts of reasons they don't make the front page of BBC news.

The story is not though about mental health.

It's about the lack of action on climate change causing sufficient concern to impact an expert in that way.

It's climate change which is the serious story. Not the mental health of an individual.

It's a puff piece for the environmental lobby.

And the youngsters trying to outdo each other in their lack of resilience competition. That's what seems irreversible and depressing.
Climate change could easily be affected by cheap and common sense measures. None of which I ever see mentioned.

Yup the youngsters could stay off their phones and tablets and gameboys and oh turn the light out in their bedrooms.

LOL

Back in the 1980's the office block I worked in had motion detector lights, no movement no lights.

I guess that technology hasn't spread to the far reaches of Cornwall.

Gameboys lol.

What percentage of climate change do you think could be attributed to 'youngsters' using their phones and having lights on in their bedrooms? It seems a rather specific and inoffensive group to attribute blame to...

I was thinking things like, for instance, covering areas where ice is melting in huge reflective sheets made out of recycled materials. Too difficult I guess. I think I saw it on Tomorrow's World so not exactly new. That dark haired presenter was pretty cute.
Or various forms of Carbon collection etc, etc. Or using more tidal power. Where I live, during the first world war the entire area was powered by the river. We produced millions of artillery shells using mainly water power. I firmly believe quite basic and cheap technology could reduce climate change. But it seems we just want to tax people or make things inconvenient for average people. There seems to be some kind of doctrine where we all have to suffer somehow, instead of using our brains.

They are the ones who appear most concerned about climate change or so the media tells us.
