Psychiatrist Dr Tanveer Ahmed says climate change protesters symbolically have an “anti-civilisation” approach to their actions.

“There’s a real performative victimhood going on,” Mr Ahmed told Sky News host Andrew Bolt.

“People with their own personal vulnerabilities acting out in the name of helping others when in fact they are harming others.

“They’re not finding other outlets for meaningful lives and they’ve latched onto these apocalyptic ideas to try and meet their own needs.”

If the dumb liberal crackpots are against fossil fuel, then they should stop using fossil fuel.
no electricity
no cars
no buses
no trains
no planes
no food fertilized by fossil fuel
no food cultivated by tractors and delivered to market by trucks using fossil fuel
no plastic made from fossil fuel
They should prove to the world that they really believe that they can save the planet by not using any fossil fuel.
But of course, they won't do it.
It is all just delusional virtue preening.
They don't have the mental capacity to understand that radical Climate Change policies will cause immense human suffering with starvation and wars.

Has Dr Ahmed falsified the greenhouse effect or the theory of anthropogenic global warming? Not yet? I'll wait.

PS: for what its worth I do not support these people throwing soup at Monets. It is simply another level of terrorism. There aim, I understand, is to make people think about what is endangered by our use of fossil fuels, but I don't see a lot of people getting that message from their actions.

EVs? Hybrids? Downsized high mileage cars? Bicycles? Energy conservation at work and at home? Wind turbines? Solar panels? Geothermal? Hydroelectricity? Wave, tidal and OTEC power?
no electricity
We can make electricity without making GHGs, so here you are wrong.
no cars
We can make cars that produce no GHGs (see above), so here you are wrong.
no buses
We can make buses that produce no GHGs (see above) so here you are wrong.
no trains
We can make trains that produce no GHGs (see above) so here you are wrong.
no planes
We can make planes that produce no GHGs (see above) so here you are wrong.
no food fertilized by fossil fuel
Synthetic nitrogen fertilizer is a problem. See: New research shows 50 year binge on chemical fertilisers must end to address the climate crisis.
no food cultivated by tractors and delivered to market by trucks using fossil fuel
We can make tractors and trucks that produce no GHGs (see above) so here you are wrong.
no plastic made from fossil fuel
Plastics, particularly single-use items and the broad failure of recycling is a problem. And a strong movement has developed opposing the increased use of plastics.
They should prove to the world that they really believe that they can save the planet by not using any fossil fuel.
EVs? Hybrids? Downsized high mileage cars? Bicycles? Energy conservation at work and at home? Wind turbines? Solar panels? Geothermal? Hydroelectricity? Wave, tidal and OTEC power? And voting FOR candidates that accept AGW and will act against it and voting AGAINST candidates with ignorant, irresponsible, self-centered views such as yours.

But of course, they won't do it.
But, of course, we ARE doing it (see midterm election results), so here you are wrong
It is all just delusional virtue preening.
If someone is being delusional around here or preening (trying to look good without actually accomplishing anything) it would be YOU.
They don't have the mental capacity to understand that radical Climate Change policies will cause immense human suffering with starvation and wars.
There have been enormous changes in national and international policies worldwide to address climate change. Not enough to actually solve the problem but large changes seen in their own right. If you have sufficient mental capacity, show us where that has led to human suffering, starvation or war.

And since your entire commentary here has utterly failed to address the science that tells us that continuing to burn fossil fuels will fuck us quite royally and you have provided not the slightest hint of any alternate solution, exactly what good have you done aside from making your own ignorance and irresponsibility blatantly plain to see?

Didn’t really need a psychiatrist to recognize the obvious.

They have been told their entire lives that the planet is doomed, so it isn't surprising that the more mentally fragile amongst them would end up believing it. The problem with them is they don't have the fortitude the hippie types from the 60's had, so they go with these passive aggressive displays.

The internet produces Co2.
Why do you use the internet if you believe that manmade climate change is destroying the planet?
To prove to us that you believe in manmade climate change you should stop using the internet.
Also, you should stop using cars, buses, trains, planes, plastic, rubber, cellphones, electricity, food fertilized with fossil fuel, food cultivated with tractors, and food delivered to market by trucks.
When the Climate Change Cultists start doing that, I might take them seriously.
But you won't, because Climate Change Cultists are delusional virtue preeners.

 
It seems to me that most of the climate-change-promoters ignore the reality of the Third World and the Developing World.

We in the U.S., Western Europe, Canada, Japan, and other advanced societies could probably work our way into an existence that produces dramatically less "carbon pollution" (although that would ignore agriculture, construction, mining, manufacturing, OTR trucks, railroads and planes), but for the rest of the world, burning coal is the cheapest, most dependable way into modernity. Anything else is folly.

Aren't they entitled to electric light, heat, cheap, reliable transportation, and the Internet? Without burning coal and petroleum, it just ain't happening. And do you really thing that people who cook their food now on dung fires give a shit about the warming planet that is predicted by computer models? Why should they?

And we're not talking about a fringe group here...it's more than half the earth's population that is living in relative squalor.

Some twit in the U.S. details how "we" could get along without...[you name it]...probably just a bunch of pipe dreams anyway... is totally divorced from the universal reality. Tell it to the people in rural India and China. Tell it to the people living out in the bush in Africa. South America. You are a fool.

This is precisely the same argument as your last post and its still a complete failure. Why don't you try to show us that humans burning fossil fuels are not causing the planet to warm?

Why are you still using cars, buses, trains, planes, the internet, cellphones, electricity, and still eating food fertilized by fossil fuels, cultivated by tractors and delivered to market by trucks?
You should be making the sacrifices that you are demanding that everyone else should make?
Because, Climate Change Cultists are delusional virtue preeners.

Why do still produce so much Co2 while you demand that everyone else make scarifies?
When was the last time you used electricity or a car?
 
Because Climate Change Cultists are slow learners
How long is it going to take you to learn that what people do or don't do in response to warming is not evidence one way or the other for the validity of AGW? How long is it going to take you learn that derogatory generalizations are always wrong? I'm not the slow learner here... dude.

why haven't you stopped using fossil fuel?
 
why haven't you stopped using fossil fuel?
I think its exceedingly likely that you also do things that you know have the potential for undesirable consequences. Drink, smoke, eat the wrong stuff, jaywalk, speed, fail to signal lane changes, correct your wife, get on the internet and demonstrate your ignorance. Does you drinking prove that drinking is harmless? Does you smoking prove that smoking is harmless? Does you eating like a stuffed pig prove that eating like a stuffed pig is harmless? Get the point? I doubt it.

I hate denier hippies.

But then, who doesn't hate denier hippies?

Sunshine, if you want to live in a cave with your hairy-legged wife Moonbeam and hump trees all day, go right ahead. Just don't expect us to join you. We like indoor plumbing and electricity.

Andthat's why we're working to keep the lights on after the fossil fuel runs out. Deniers would leave humanity shivering in the dark forever.

It is an impossible task to try and enlighten a climate change cultist.
They cling to their hate, fear and ignorance like a life preserver.
As the Psychiatrist said in this article the Manmade Climate Change issue gives cultists some sort of meaning to their worthless lives.
Left Wing Voters are gullible dolts, and the greedy corrupt Left Wing politicians exploit their fear with faux issues like AGW.
The sad thing is that these crazy far left climate change policies are going to cause mass human suffering.
The Climate Change Cultists are delusional virtue preeners who will not make the sacrifices that they demand other people make and that is why they lack credibility.
