  • Ha, George Monbiot talking about Direct Action! Brilliant! Why not take some radical action by urging the Guardian to remove its advertisements for BP and other merciless energy companies? I step too far, Georgie? Thought so. Monbiot is nothing but a radical poser.

  • In the northwestern Australia, we have huge tides,

    huge evaporation and huge dry rivers and lakes.

    Tides are up to 12m. Evaporation is up to 4m per year and can be increased.

    Huge 12m tidal erosion can revive old dry paleo dormant once mighty rivers, creeks and lakes,

    desalinate the country and change deserts to rain forests to provide more rain across Australia.

    World population is growing rapidly and we need more energy, food, land and water.

  • Environmental campaigner, a writer and a fucking CUNT

  • And I think he's great in this video. The WDM's mission is incredibly important, and effective activism is part of that. Good on George and the WDM for getting behind it.

  • Monbiot does sometimes have a slightly pious, vicarish air, and I can see why some people get annoyed by him - I don't; I think he's ace, but then one of my oldest friends is a vicar - but ultimately everything he says goes right back to scientific or historical research.

    I think he's a careful, measured speaker, but regardless of any of that ultimately the intellectual strength of his arguments come from the peer review he reports on. Play the ball, not the man.

  • Pious, opinionated, blinkered.

    And selling a book.

  • One of the greatest brains in the world... don't waste his time just introducing WDM!
