Large parts of Australia are only habitable by Europeans with the support of power hungry technology.
My partner's daughter lives on the West coast where temperatures reach 40-45 C in their summer. She says that she likes the climate, but she doesn't really experience it, because she lives in an air conditioned house driving to work in an air conditioned car to an air conditioned office, only going out in the cooler evening!

Yes, I think we can all understand when it comes to climates and I think we have no complaints about using everything you can to make life more bearable.
I live in England, though, and think that what he said is very appropriate for so many.
I know they are put up to it, the youngsters probably don't really understand the whole issues. BUT WE should do, and WE do waste so much. Climate change is happening, partially due to our way of life. Even if it was not happening, how should we justify the plastic waste, the carbon production from vehicles, the carbon waste from energy production.
Lets all get real, we as humanity have to change our ways of life. Our kids are probably going to suffer far more than we will.
Again, a big BUT is that UK is such a tiny proportion of the worlds population, those far bigger country/populations are going to make or break the Climate change issue...……...

Australia has the climate to be carbon neutral for its energy production, so HIS generation has more to answer for than the spoilt turds he wants to critique.
It's easy to piss on people being a little different isn't it?

So you don’t think even his first few lines ring a little true? I certainly do.
It’s not his generation having all the kids and carting them to school in caravans of gas guzzlers (yeah, OK, a lot of the drivers are actually the grandparents)
I walked to infant and primary school and cycled or got the bus to secondary school. It was almost unheard of then to go by car, besides families might only have one car and that would have been driven to work by the breadwinner (I’ve never won any bread, nor entered a competition to do so!)
There is also disposable fashion which I and my generation are definitely not guilty of!
Very true Nigel. I probably have shoes and shirts older than your daughter.
In your case however, this could be due to the fact that even your local charity shops wouldn't thank you if you attempted to donate those bright red trousers you seem to have such a propensity for

Oh I'm sure the Harrogate branch of Age Concern would welcome them, but that isn't going to happen in my lifetime.
