And the coinciding despair for others from the same man's pen stroke approving drilling in Alaska. Quite the dichotomy, really.

Thats an understandable perspective, but maybe someone else would appreciate it.

It's almost impossible for a dog to actually catch a deer. Certainly not a dog like that.

But sure let's say I did this math right. China has a quotient of 0.01917 per pop, the entire rest of my example is 0.01051 per pop. And that's everyone together, not singling out Britain.
Correct. Every single person in China doubles the average of everyone in USA, EU and India. This isn't actually realistic though because massive portions of China's population are still backwater rural people. It means China's megacities are the most carbon polluting sources on earth.
I still don't see how protestors in Britain take themselves seriously. Even in the US it's laughable.

Did they stop the emergency services? Or did the traffic that was blocked up block the emergency services?

Because its the only way to compare two nations of vastly differing populations.
Otherwise the world as a whole has 100% ghg. Without breaking down to per capita its a useless comparison

There's no way that Israel is happier than all but three countries in the entire world.

Softball has different dimensions because the sport gets played a little bit differently. I'm pretty certain the old school women's baseball leagues just brought the fences in closer and that was it.

Barristers have to work the next case as it becomes available. They can ask the judge to be recused from the case if they have grounds, but I don't think a UK judge would accept the barristers reasons in this sort of case.

In the UK the Crown prosecutes and uses barristers to do it. Barristers are a type of lawyer in the UK.

They haven't actually read the article and are just going off the title

And yet they'd have no qualms with defending a child rapist. UK barristers are not meant to pick and choose what cases they represent. Whilst it is commendable they have taken a moral stand the fact they choose this over far more heinous crimes is insulting and shows how privileged and out of touch they are.

Well the weapon laws was because a man went into a school and started killing children, something a worrying number of people in the US doesn't think is a problem.

What exactly do you think the incredibly small amount Britain contributes matters? If you were talking about US activism, I'd accept that.
Britain is too small to help anything.
