Many of them will up at the loony farm, the rest of us will survive just fine.Meanwhile a university banned clapping. Because apparently, clapping and other loud noises can trigger anxiety in young people.
Nah, this civilization is doomed. Just let it die.
If they want to Blame someone blame those who made us use petrol burning cars, and all the other stuff, there has been many good and environmental sound solution through time, but they where suppressed and kept locked up. Just think of Tesla’s innovations. JP Morgan shut down his Earth grid electrical distribution down, because he couldn’t set a meter on it.
I'm not entirely sure what's going on - but at the moment everything on the internet tubes seems to be about planting 20,000,000 trees in the next year.
Surely, that means relocating 20,000,000 that already exist - into locations that might not be ideal for them?

Do they mean planting seeds then?
They normally start with seeds, germinate them and let them grow to a size suitable for planting, then transplant them. Doesn't take much space or time and is more reliable than planting seeds directly.
It would be more smart to ban the circulation of non-professional vehicles and without reasons of urgency in the cities.Meanwhile a university banned clapping. Because apparently, clapping and other loud noises can trigger anxiety in young people.

Actually I totally agree with that, my wife and I have no kids...that's our personally contribution to trying to fix global warming. I would guess the carbon footprint of a family increases a lot when kids are involved. I shudder to think of the amount of disposable nappies in landfills.
Why is nobody talking about light pollution? Few things inspire more than the night sky ablaze with stars. Let's hear some jazz hands for reducing light pollution.
you are kidding right?
Manchester University Student Union voted to ban clapping at Union business-related events, i.e. meetings and votes.
Clapping banned at Oxford University to stop people being triggered
Clapping will instead be replaced by ‘jazz hands’, where students wave their hands in the air.

Oxford students want clapping banned over fears it triggers anxiety - do you agree?
STUDENTS at Oxford University have called for a ban on clapping, out of fears that applause noise could trigger anxiety.

I think my solution to people for whom applause would be an anxiety trigger would be to not require them to participate in events likely to feature a lot of applause.
However, I am also entirely willing to refrain from applause and remain sleeping through any such event I can be dragged to.
I also looked up "jazz hands" and I'm still not sure what it is.

The honest response to all of this is to look at the children and tell them that they are the problem :-D

Oh fer gawds sakes....they'll be banning the sun next for those afraid of their own shadows.
Oh and to add, "jazz hands" are an abomination and should be illegal (along with anything else associated with Jazz (sorry Jazz fans!))
Well they are not blameless that's for sure. If they want to save the world then they should lead the way and sacrifice the luxeries that are causing problems with the environment. Because right now that's all they can do until they leave school/university.
Just to clarify for some....it's a joke Mkay!!
I've been watching a lot of Harry Enfield and Chums recently and his "kevin" is a proto millenial!!!
I'm not saying I don't believe on global warming, I do. But blaming the past generations like spoilt "kevin's" just takes the proverbial mickey. Moaning Millenials HAVE to walk the walk and go green.....I bet most wouldn't.
In other words, don't question the status quo. Assimilation is your duty.
this joke is really old. my father used to make reduced versions of this more than 40 years ago.
while it is just ok to confront youth with their own contradictions and not fall for simplistic claims explaining a complex world, making an absolute mockery of it doesn't really seem smart to me and is actually kind of fishy. ridiculing the girl for the irresponsible behavior they have programmed her to live with, really? i guess the icing of the cake is then just dying off and letting her inherit a wasteland. enjoy! but, hey! think of all the comfort we gave you! a far better approach would be rational and open discussion, information and finding out how the family can collectively reduce their footprint while not turning nuts. the girl is actually right, you know? the problem is real, won't get dispelled by ridiculing dissent and change will come anyway, want it or not ... so better do it sensibly.

In France, some want to ban the crowing of the rooster, church bell and cow neck bells. And also the locusts.
