Whenever somebody asks me something like that I always say "I just want the Earth not to melt and my queens to be able to marry, and I honestly Don't Give A Shit who gets it done."

The Treaty Of Waitangi is incredibly outdated and relied upon to create even more of a divide between European (in decent) New Zealanders and Maori New Zealanders. When am I going to be able to stop being punished for something that was signed and agreed to hundreds of years before I was born!? Outrageous claim settlements are still being handed out in New Zealand to people with their palms open wide. My Step-dad is part Maori and is entitled to special benefits because of this and he does not lay a finger on them because he has the common sense to realise racism and favoritism in our government. There are special scholarships awarded to individuals for University simply because they are Maori, or part, no matter how small that part may be! There is a certain percentage of Maori every year that are guaranteed a seat in Parliament every year and places in our medical schools, while people of other races (NZ in heritage) have to battle it out fairly for these places! I would rather have a doctor see me that was not placed there by their race but placed their because of their ability. The treaty was a long time ago, New Zealand should move on and realise the racist way in which they assign New Zealand's money, land and positions of authority I know no one will care about what I just said , sorry I just had to get it out. It's terrible!

Some idiot climbed up a very large building in London today, without harnesses, to campaign about climate change. Maybe he should have considered all the carbon emissions from the police cars, fire engines, ambulances, and press vehicles rushing down to the scene?

That reminds me of when a Greenpeace boat crashed into a coral reef and destroyed part of it. Oh the irony.

The world-renowned ITV news always goes to Greenland, in their special massive polluting jets, to report on climate change.

That Live Earth concert probably destroyed enough of the ozone layer to kill us all about 20 years sooner.
The do-gooders' hearts are in the right place but they are a bunch of half-wits.

The world-renowned ITV news always goes to Greenland, in their special massive polluting jets, to report on climate change. or when Bono landed in his private jet to address the press about abolishing poverty. he could just sell up? Considering the amount of his own time he dedicates to trying get other people informed about poverty and stir them into action, he must get pretty pissed off when people give the simple reaction of 'Urgh, sell your private jet first then'. Yeah, it probably wasn't the smartest idea considering what he was campaigning for, but maybe he had transportation issues? Who knows. The point is, at least he was holding a press conference, to attempt to make a difference to third world poverty, and using his fame for some good. We don't know how much of his personal earnings he has donated to charity - lots of people donate anonymously. But you just can't expect people who care passionately about ending poverty to sell up everything which they have earned. Sort of similar principles with the 'travelling to report on/discuss climate change' really. Not the smartest idea (and hilariously ironic, obviously(!)) - but it is just a small bit of negative effects in order to more effectively inform the public. It would have much less impact on people if they were to report from studio. And with the Live 8 concerts - okay, that used considerably more power, but it made much more impact and the message reached even more people (or that was the intention). haha would love to of seen that. i dislike protestsers these days, they're not violent enough. if you want to get your point across a bit of agression would help. not a bludy pop concert and a few signs here and there. use your fricken fist! I fucking hate violent protesters. When I see people protesting violently, they just come across as mindless and ignorant. It subconsciously puts me against whatever they are protesting for. But I assume you're joking.
