The RSPB are organising a 'free' climate event at the Emmanuel Centre,
London, on Sat 4th November 2006, followed by a march to the 'Stop
Climate
Chaos' coalition's mass rally in Trafalgar Square later that day. The
coalition is calling for more Government action to limit climate
change.

There you are, proof the RSPB cares about climate change :-)


Yes, provided it doesn't affect their income.



What they are saying is that without urgent action, up to one third of
land
based plants and animals could be committed to extinction by 2050. If
that
happens, worries about their income will probably seem insignificant.



Yet they are activly contributing to the disaster they predict by the
environmentally damaging activities they indulge in, and encourage in
others. What a bunch of hypocritical crooks!


Perhaps they think that the action of encouraging people to value Nature is
more likely to lead to net reductions in emissions than any savings which
might flow from closing their reserves, etc?

I think it's more likely that they will be regarded as staging a form
of live bird show which people will regard as entertainment more than
anything else.

People who actually care about
the problem are more likely to do something positive about it, surely?


People more likely to care might not waste finite resources to visit
reserves.

The should close down all their visitor centres, stop being part of
the tourist industry, Stop selling travel adverts in their Birds
Magazine, and sending out junk mail and the said Birds Magazine that
are damaging to the natural environment by their production,
distribution and disposal. Only then will they be making a start to
be honest.


I can see why you might think that, but I suspect pragmatists may achieve
more than idealists, in the long run.


They might indeed, but it make the RSPB conservationists of the
natural environment or honest.

First, it is ridiculed;
Second, it is violently opposed; and
Third, it is accepted as self-evident.
