If you think about it, climate change is terrifying and fascinating at the same time. The mighty forces of nature clashing and finding a new equilibrium with no thought for the puny humans caught up in their wrath. Of course, if you don’t think about it, you end up with opinions like these.
The ‘greenies’ make me laugh sometimes. Smug in their hybrid cars,not realising the energy used to create and build their ‘green’ electric car cost the planet far more than a normal vehicle.When those batteries need to be replaced in a few years time do they magically disappear and new ones arrive? Take a cycle? If I wanted a death wish,and if you smugly saving the world on a cycle,just think of how much more fuel motorists are using having to slow down and accelerate past you. Very selfish.

Presumably the greenest thing you can do is just drive straight through them. As long as the frame doesn’t get caught up in your wheelarches you lose very little speed indeed.
Absolutely not!
The credit crunch hit me pretty hard and the last thing on my mind is the environment. We should solve one problem at a time instead of introducing more!
It’s like kicking someone when they are down!

John Williams
Exactly. Everything in the world is very simple and will wait for us to get to it. The notion that there could be a link between, say, rising oil prices and dwindling natural resources is difficult and therefore irrelevant.
For god’s sake would you kindly drop all this “green” nonsense, it’s all complete rubbish and I can’t believe that any educated adult can fall for such an obvious scam.
[speaking_my_mind]
That’s us told then. Pack up the labs, boys, you’ve been rumbled.
“Going green?”
Green with envy because others have something that I don’t? Nope.
Or did you mean green as in going mouldy and rotten? Nope, not that either.
Only other ‘green’ I can think of is a normal word hijacked to mean ever more control wielded by the minority over the majority using some crazy computer models that were designed to prove exactly what they did…surprisingly.
I’m cutting back on unnecesary expenses because the taxation level in this country is getting stupid.
[korat102], Milton Keynes
Those mad scientists! Don’t they realise these models are going to drown Bangladesh if they don’t stop making them so damn accurate?
This government doesn’t have a green message.
How can it possibly claim to be green when their open door policies have admitted more people than the nation can house and they’ve rubber stamped concreteing over and building on every square inch of green in this once pleasant land?
How can they claim to be green when they have changed planning permission rules to ok the building of wind turbines that are so inefficient we have to subsidise ALL the power they produce at the taxpayers expense?[spannerdude], Union of European Socialist Republics, United Kingdom
This is one “END OF!” away from being the most perfect HYS comment ever.
It takes a touch of wank-tossery genius to blame the collapsing global eco-system on immigrants.
I like how John Williams signs off with “Regards”. For what, exactly?
> I can’t believe that any educated adult can fall for such an obvious scam.
I dunno. We all fell for gravity, electricity and the earth going round the sun (ha!). Never mind that every reputable scientific association in the world says that climate change is happening, is caused by us, and will be bad for us—the educated adults of HYS know better.
I like the way that spannerdude equates their interpretation of “green” (ie policies which are good for the environment in the long term) with his interpretation of “green” (ie anything which is coloured green).
And John Williams should probably stick to scoring blockbuster films.
They make me laugh too. Milo is my favourite. Much better than the Teletubbies.
if there is no connection, why does the word ‘immigrant’ contain the word ‘green’?
almost.
am i the only educated adult to have spotted this?
it’s a leftist zanulabour conspiracy. you have to make it up.
The worst thing about this so called climate change is that they always say how much the earth is going to warm up in Celsius, which isn’t a proper imperial unit.
I do like Spannerdude’s location. Do you see? He’s saaying the EU is a bit like the Soviet Union. If you don’t think about it too much.
Forget the HYS posters, we really need a site for the gibberish the BBC produce themselves.
What is a “Green” exactly, and how does it become prominent? Are there so few people around with a basic grasp of science and economics that we have to give them a label?
Next time I’m gliding past a row of angry wankers in stationary cars, I’ll think of how much fuel I’d be saving if I were stuck at the back in a 4×4.
How can the government say it’s going green when it’s investing in sources of renewable energy? Well, I…I…I’m sorry, I think I’m having an aneurysm, the human brain wasn’t meant to deal with this level of wank…
I love the fact all these people think they’re experts in something as complex as climate change. Have they each got an MSc? I’ll love in x years time when hys’s full of these same wankers moaning about “why didn’t brown/cameron/mugabe do something about this at the time?!?!” as they swear incoherently at their electric car cos they can’t make it run of AA duracells even tho the ad clearly showed that the bunny never gets tired.
Depressingly I used to work in bracknell where “something else” is from, and his…unique…view/ballsed up concept of morality is probably the most enlightened one there. It’s the most violently bigoted place I’ve ever been to, with ppl talking about how they should ‘go paki bashing for a laugh’ and ppl saying how they’d never employ a person of, shall we say, a more tanned complexion. Actually, on that thought, maybe ‘the greenies’ and ‘gordon clown’ and the knights-of-the-communistic-labour-masonic government ought to just pull out of there and let these hys trolls kill each other off. It’d probably see a massive drop in knifecrime after as a results, so I’m sure these guys’d love this idea. :-p
Just wait, when you finally get your 62 million dollars from that nice Nigerian widow, you’ll be able to take out billboard adverts telling us how gullible we are.
Didnt you know that the immigrants are to blame for everything from the original roman invasion to the greenhouse effect?
Weirdly, [korat102], I came across a whole other definition of green in my big boy’s dictionary:
Now if only I could think of a suitable context to use it in…
My favourite comment is this one, which is one below John Williams in the Most Recommended list:
Which is basically the same as this:
Yes we fell for gravity! nice one, actually as every one knows there is no such thing, it is in fact ‘intelligent Falling’ I suspect Spannerdude lives in Norfolk, people there are worried about the wind farms in Suffolk stealing all their wind
To quote Marcus Brigstocke’s rant directed towards climate change deniers:
“Please, buy a house by the sea and stay in it as the waters rise up over your head”.
Toss monkeys.
Simon,
Suffolk people are stealing our wind the greedy inbred mockney scum.
btw, hev yew gotta loight bor?
John Williams seems to feel he can shed all responsibility for one problem simply because he has another problem. I like that idea. I have toothache, therefore the starving third world can fuck off.
7rew
Meh, like anyone in Norfolk would know what to do with electricity if they had it.
“Auntie Mum, come quick, there’s witchcraft in this tiny glass bulb!”
Throbbe (from Suffolk, but quite a while ago, so i can pronounce Town with only one sylable 9 times out of 10)
Given that the great unwashed masses listen to and believe Gillian McKeith, well ’nuff said.
Throbbe,
Just cos we dont use this new fangled electrickery, it -doesn’t mean we don’t need our wind. It is our major form of transport, this infernal combustion engine malarky just isn’t for us.
Well down on the tahhhhhnnnnn thing. I believe that puts you in the top 0.1% of educated suffolkians.
7rew - From both norfolk and north suffolk over the years. Born & now lives elsewhere, thank the FSM.
I like the quote from Small Fat Angry Man, I am sorry to learn that it is attributed to Marcus Brigstocke. Which is a bit like quoting Joy of Rolle. imesho
Don’t be silly - they’re the ones keeping MacDonalds afloat.
Nah they BELIEVE McKeith, they just thing Chicken McNuggets are proper food cos they got meat aint they.
Nuff said!
Give em to yer kids and that carnt yer.

The above is how one would type if one had a head injury. Or was a chav.
Thing ?? THING ???
Who stole my K and added a G!
Tut tut!!
Is ‘educated adult’ the new HYS euphemism for ’self-righteous fuckwit’?
Perhaps if you cycled to work every day you wouldn’t be such a fat ignorant cunt. Either that or you’d drop dead from a heart attack.
Either, would in fact, be good for the environment
Hopefully ‘Something Else’ from Bracknell will find the road to Dover clear of traffic and cyclists, then he can do the world a favour and drive efficiently off a cliff
I suspect for John Williams being “hit by the credit crunch” meant he believed some red-braces wide boy who told him that his shitty little house would be worth half a million for ever, and then borrowed 50k on credit cards to spend on designer clothes, lard-based ready-meals and paedo holidays in vietnam.
When I was researching that post (ha! Such a grand word for what it actually entails) I was desperately hoping to come across someone who recklessly overstretched themselves and was blaming everyone but the person responsible. But it seems they’re all Guardian readers.
“just think of how much more fuel motorists are using having to slow down and accelerate past you. Very selfish.”
Since when do you slow down whilst accelerating. Clearly this fucktard hasn’t grasped the basics of motorvehicular transport. Douchebag.
On another note the credit crunch may have hit both of the John’s hard but clearly not hard enough. I’d like to volunteer my services to finish off the pair of Beagle Quims with a couple of half bricks.
