'Remarkably Childish': Boris Johnson
Boris Johnson has been branded “remarkably childish” after the prime minister name-checked Kermit the Frog in a speech about climate change.
Addressing the UN General Assembly in New York, Johnson was talking about technological breakthroughs which have aided the green cause when he launched into an aside about the Muppet character.
He said: “When Kermit the Frog sang ‘it’s not easy being green’…”
Looking up at his audience, the PM, apparently uneasy, asked: “Do you remember that one?”
He continued: “I want you to know that he was wrong. He was wrong. It is easy, not only easy – it is lucrative and it’s right to be green.
“But he was also unnecessarily rude to Miss Piggy, I thought.”
Did he think he was in his child's nursery rather than at the UN General Assembly? World Leader? What a joke.

Hard to know who is the more deluded in this analysis, probably Johnson, spouting as much fantasy as Obama did.

Still Boris could not give genuine,true action that would help AND will come about eventually anyway (perhaps sooner than many would be 'comfortable' with (; ¤ ].... like giving up the car,having one child less, no air tourism and that old hate - eating a plant based diet... unfortunately that, realistically, would just be the starters before the main course...

Like oblivious, naive lambs to the slaughter.
The Big Green Lie, and either they don't know it, or don't want to know it.
"And what the current British crisis is giving us a foretaste of is the true future of a renewable energy economy: an economy that will sustain no more than 600,000,000 people worldwide and that will require three or four agricultural workers – including slaves and indentured servants – to maintain each non-agricultural specialist, cleric or overlord. Indeed, the very best our descendants can look forward to is a technological level similar to that of the Roman Empire."

sp1814,
I am not naive enough to be 'Overton-ed' nor blindsided into believing that climate change is thee thing,,, that is just ONE facet of the environmental disaster that we are speeding increasingly towards.
My post @ 13:05 Fri 24th Sep 2021 gave some suggestions on what we/us/me and you can do to mitigate this probably inevitable disaster now, but even those 4 actions are insignificant if those with the power continue the charades like IPCC, The Paris Agreement,The Kyoto Protocol, and probably the COPD26 - Conference of the Platitudes.
sp, here is 3 minutes 38 seconds worth of 'what WE can do'.... if that is not too pressing on your time... (; ¿¿
