Well it would have to start by thinking about how to stop China burning more coal at any given moment than the rest of the world combined. Maybe disincentivise them from building 300 further coal fired power stations across the developing world as we speak. Because whilst that’s going on, us in the West giving up a few commercial flights and switching away from beef wouldn’t make any type of impact whatsoever.
I agree with you that it would be great to pressure those Chinese companies to not built those coal power plants they have planned for some developing countries.
We'd need to apply pressure to both the Chinese government and the developing countries themselves. Ideally show that renewables is best.
I doubt our UK politicians would care much to get involved here. Maybe we could start a global grass roots climate awareness group to try to get the people in those countries really engaged as well?

Here is Greta being asked a basic question that she needs to answer without a script or being prepped, as a parent I find it very uncomfortable watching and would not allow my child to be used in this way
Greta has parents who wear Antifa T-shirts, this is a violent anarchist group. Greta is carefully managed by her handler 23 year old Luisa Neubauer
you can check any of this out on Google and if you think it is a coincidence that someone with Aspergers has been picked then you should read up on the condition, someone has worried her stiff about something to further their own ends, XR are set up by and ostensibly run by the same people who set up RiseUp!, an anti capitalist Marxist group. Source- their own website
They use and abuse good natured but unthinking people to further their ends which are absolutely not as stated.
They undermine the climate cause as their appolcolyptic predictions are miles away from the scientific consensus and when we don’t all die by 2025 people will switch off from it. They appear to be ravers and as such also cause normal folk to disconnect
The climate is a serious issue affecting the planet and human life, these people are making the situation worse
Can I ask what do you suggest we do to avoid climate breakdown? What do you think I should do as a member of the general public?
I'm looking to build some positive actions here!

I talked to the guy, he said the Mason's Arms got featured in a '10 best secret things about glasto' type article in the guardian or the Bristol post.
I loved it there.

2005 was good as well
But yeh, 2007 wins for me. Here's a mud trap in the field that becomes the Unfairground.

What's the Tesco thing by VG1 about?
Also, there is disagreement between the new car park map and the fine guide map: Campervans East covers a larger area in the car park map compared to the fine guide map. I think the car park map is likely to be the more accurate, because Campervans East was expanded in 2017. While the fine guide map-maker re-sketched over the 2016 map, instead of the 2017 map, so they appear to have mistakenly ended up with the old car park boundaries.

They do taste a bit horrible and I believe she sells both types of brownies. The special ones are at the bottom of her box, so you need to ask specifically for what you want.

When the lineup times first came out Annie Mac was down as playing somewhere in Shangri-la, possibly the Gas Tower if i remember correctly. This was going to be with Todla T and someone else. But then they revised the Shangi-La times later that day. Either she's now a TBA or she's pulled out.

Looks really good! The only thing I spotted is that I suspect the Bimble Inn and the Ribbon Tower might be the wrong way round. And the Pharmacy has moved more to where the Brown and yellow lines meet.
The pedant would also say that there isn't a path between Strumerville and the Crows Nest, but it looks nice with the Jubilee line added!

Bloc Party are playing Bristol on Friday evening.

London on the 11th. Had no email at all saying they've been sent yet.
Nope, my tickets for London 11th haven't arrived yet either. If you log in to Ticketmaster, it says they are being sent out in batches at the moment and not to worry until 5 days before.

Still not working. Dont suppose you can spell out exactly what I need to type in?
These instructions were posted by MoilyX last July:
1. Launch get_iplayer
2. Enter the following command: (only have to do this once)
get_iplayer --prefs-add --modes=best
3. In a browser, click on here then click through to whichever act you want and copy the URL of that act:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/b007r6vx
4. Back in get_iplayer enter the following command:
get_iplayer <paste_url_from_clipboard, by right clicking>
so for Goldfrapp it would be:
get_iplayer http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p056bcwv/glastonbury-2017-goldfrapp
Repeat steps 3-4 for each set you want to download. Remember to include "http://"

get_iplayer does still work, I just downloaded Rag n Bone man. But you need to download the new version: v3.01.0
You can follow the download link from here: https://squarepenguin.co.uk/
which for Windows takes you to: https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer_win32/releases/tag/3.01.0
Download the exe (16MB).
After that the commands appear to be the same.

the one *everyone* discounted the most.
No one thought hung was going to happen, tho some clung to some hope that it might.
I think Nate Silver thought a hung parliament was as likely as a Tory majority. Because polling in the UK has a poor track record:

The West Holts lineup is now in order on the Glastonbury 2017 Spotify playlist (after the main poster, about 1/4 down). A few discoveries whilst adding:
- 'Henry Wu presents The Kamaal Williams Ensemble' is the new band of half of recently split critically acclaimed young British modern jazz duo Yussef Kamaal. So they're on the playlist as Yussef Kamaal, material from whose sole album they play. Anyone who enjoys Badbadnotgood or Kamasi Washington ought to check them out. (The other half of the original band is the drummer in Afrobeat band United Vibrations, who were down as a TBC until recently but seem to have disappeared.)
- Ata Kak is 'Ghanaian dance rap' originally recorded in the '90s, re-discovered by Awesome Tapes from Africa.
- Delighted to see the spacious psychedelic guitar lines of Khruangbin back.
I know this isn't quite the right thread. But thanks so much for putting your playlist together (every year). It must take ages and a lot of dedication. But it's great for the run up to glasto to find those bands you never knew existed. Many thanks!

Wow there really is a lot of moaning after this festival. I'm not sure hand sanitiser has been in existence for many years- I don't think it was around in 2005 or 2007 - what did we do then? I thought the toilets were cleaner this year, sure people piss on them - but just wipe them down. And there was more alcohol gell than last year - they didn't water it down like they had to last year. I thanked a man from Water Aid while he was refilling the gell. But of course I carried my own little bottle of gell around for the times they had ran out/i couldn't be bothered to walk over to it.

I thought it was generally quieter than the last 2 years because the mud was keeping people back. This includes visiting Shangi-la on Friday and Saturday night. Maybe I just got lucky as well!

Try Anna Meredith?

Lizard Cafe/stage is pretty good. Greenpeace field, and Avalon Cafe.

It saddens me that they don't put a .pdf version of the map they print out for the stewards and campsite info points (smaller version available from info point by pyramid) on the website. It would be REALLY useful for people to have such a detailed map for planning.
Never Posted before, but I certaintly read this forum alot!
But I think this is the PDF you are talking about, just with wheelchair access written over it:
