Jeremy Clarkson: Just been for a walk round the farm and I'm a bit alarmed by how few butterflies there are.

Something is afoot.

To be fair. His farming ventures have moved his opinion on climate in a positive direction. People can change their mind and that is a good thing. I would even go as far as calling it a very good sign that even a person as stubborn as the great ape Clarkson can change their opinion on this matter is absolutely fantastic. Good on Clarkson! And fuck the other guy for shoving up the past in his face when he is trying to be better.

To be fair. His farming ventures have moved his opinion on climate in a positive direction.

But have they? His insistence at this point is that he doesn't have to do anything, or change anything, science will "solve the issue". Nothing better than someone who thinks any mess they make can be cleaned up by someone else so why bother trying to make any changes that makes your life slightly less convenient?

He added: ‘I won’t drive a Tesla. I’ve got probably 10 cars, all with V8 engines. I don’t think electric cars solve anything. Science is going to be needed here, not politics. Science will solve it eventually. Always does.’

Uhh isn’t progressing to electric cars… science progressing to help solve the issue? What a strange train of thoughts.

No. It isn't.

It's capitalism shifting their private transport scam from an energy source that they exploited the living crap out off to another that they haven't mismanaged into the ground yet.

I quite enjoyed Top Gear. However. I have since found Clarkson to be just another rich old right winger that doesn’t care what he says. He’s a bit of an asshole.

[–] ladicius@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

That "a bit of" is too nice. Much too nice. Really.

You couldn't tell that from the show itself? Just don't keep food away from him.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Some people can play assholes for a show but are decent IRL. Clarkson appears to be an asshole who reined it in a little for the show.

I suppose he only cares about the climate because it now affects his farming business, that's it.

[–] ninth_plane@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Having watched Clarkson's Farm I think he honestly went into the farming business to test and resolve his opinions on the climate. He still loves cars but uses the car persona to look at farming practices.

The only reason Clarkson is still well liked is because he is funny and charismatic. But over all he is still an arch-conservative Tory jerk.

[–] Smokeless7048@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

for sure. I love him as a TV persona, but definitly feel he and I would NOT get along in person.

[–] MataVatnik@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago

Fuck Jeremy Clarkson

I never understood the appeal of this show or its hosts.
