So, not having taken part in this conversation, but now having got up to date on it, it seems to me that the best way forward would be for people to state what they've done to 'future proof' themselves and then leave it at that, there's way too much wanting to get people onside, or, there's only one way and it's my way. If someone has a constructive comment then post it, but don't have an expectation that everyone has to agree and don't react offended when they don't agree.
Also, think before posting, there's no point in posting negative comments when really it's better to just leave the conversation, if the thread is irritating or you find things offensive then stop posting in this thread.
Please remember that first and foremost this is a forum about Bushcraft, and while there's a wide degree of leeway on thread subjects it is not a forum built for politics, religion and other subjects where the conversation becomes personal. These are covered and welcomed by a myriad of other forums and groups, if your interests are firmly rooted in those subjects, outside of what we are comfortable with on Bushcraft UK then they may well be the place to find people with the same views.
As the forum owner I'm happy for most things to be discussed, nicely and with consideration of others, however, human nature and ego often dictate otherwise, and it causes problems, and then the mud starts flying and pride kicks in and someone has to be right, battle lines are drawn.... All avoidable when the conversation is approached appropriately considerately.
While I'm happy for there to be conversation on climate change I (and the mods) can't be doing with the reports and complaints that come along with it when people can't converse nicely and get offended by other people.
All these welcome in-depth conversation on climate change, or those that want in-depth conversations on climate change and are probably enthused to moderate any offence caused by disagreeing parties.
