I’m sure he might have at some point.

To quote an eminent source on the subject:

“A simple carpenter’s son who learns how to do magic tricks like that and doesn’t go into show-business? Do any of us believe that, even for a second”? – Arnold J. Rimmer.

Son of god? That’s your call.

Ha ha! Letting them lie in their filth illustrates better than anything I’ve seen so far how nasty and disgusting these thoughtless, narcissistic misanthropes are.

It’s a great pity the QE2 Bridge protestors weren’t forced to stay up there for a fortnight while traffic was allowed to flow on the bridge. Climate protestors are given a free hand in Britain unfortunately

this Gianluca Grimald clown is not a scientist of any form…
The lab coat is pure FACADE….. virtue seeking…. PATHETIC. !

quoting his own self-description

“I am an experimental economist interested in the psychological and cultural bases of human cooperation”

A total non-entity by any standard !

wt* is an “experimental economist”

Perhaps an audio book for them to enjoy during the night?:

On Saturday, 26 April 2003, Aron Ralston, a 27-year-old outdoorsman and adventurer, set off for a day’s hike in the Utah canyons. Eight miles from his truck, he found himself in the middle of a deep and remote canyon.

Then the unthinkable happened: a boulder shifted and snared his right arm against the canyon wall. He was trapped, facing dehydration, starvation, hallucinations and hypothermia as night-time temperatures plummeted.

Five and a half days later, Aron Ralston finally came to the agonising conclusion that his only hope was to amputate his own arm and get himself to safety. Miraculously, he survived.

BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE is more than just an adventure story. It is a brave, honest and above all inspiring account of one man’s valiant effort to survive, and is destined to take its place among adventure classics such as TOUCHING THE VOID.

Classics list soon to include “Escaping the Autostadt”…?

urinate and defecate in a decent manner while we are glued

Convince me how that can be achieved “in a decent manner” with one hand glued to the floor of a car showroom.

The benefits/opportunities available to those of us on the realists side of the Climate Change, when so called Climate Change activists glue their hands down should not be wasted or ignored.
I suggest a TV screen and speakers are set up, so the protestors can watch some educational Climate Science presented by Mike Murano or Willie Soon or Lord Monkton and preferably all three on a loop. After the captive audience have been stuck in place for maybe eight hours, they could be offered some more entertainment and education to help them understand reality. Bring on Dr Patrick Moore, the late Tim Ball and Tony Heller.
When the painful truth becomes too difficult for the stuck down protestors to cope with, maybe after a further eight hours, ask them if they have learned anything?
If they say no, well that is fine plenty more presenters available for them to watch and listen to. Those who do realise they are on the wrong side of the scientific divide and accept they were wrong are given the release solution, no further action necessary.

I disagree, Rod.

I think an endless loop of “It’s A Small World“, performed by fifteen or twenty 7-year-old beginning accordion students and recorded in a school lunchroom, should be played until the protesters decide to leave of their own free will.

With the greens everything has to laid on for them. Why didn’t they think of taking a bowl or two with them? I suppose they normally have staff for that sort of thing. Take their leader…

“Prince Charles has flunkeys iron his SHOELACES and squeeze toothpaste on to his brush every morning”

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6344129/Prince-Charles-flunkeys-iron-SHOELACES-squeeze-toothpaste-brush.html

Would Grimalda et al. object to a plastic bucket? That seems unlikely as the white coats they are wearing are unlikely to be 100% cotton. And isn’t cotton a statement on one’s views of slavery, anyway?

Grimalda has impressive scientific qualifications: “…an experimental economist interested in the psychological and cultural bases of human cooperation”.

Only they’re totally irrelevant to the conversation.

Did you know this quote by Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes: “My right to swing ends where your nose begins”? The quote was simplified by scholars to: “Your rights end where mine begin”.

Maybe provide kiddy pools filled with couple inches of sand for them to sit in. Make clean up easier. No hydro carbon based solvents allowed to disolve the glue.

This is terrible! 
The poor protestors!
 
Consideration should be applied for them.
 
Someone should came and help them. 
 
For a start help them by:
Gluing their free hand to the floor so both hands are now clued.
Gluing their moths shut so they can continue with their hunger strike with out suffering. That also means they can’t talk. 
Silence is golden

That is exactly how they should be treated. Leave them to freeze in the dark while soiling themselves as long as the glue lasts.

“have turned off the heating”

Are they seriously complaining about cooling while their environment is catastrophically ‘hot’? /s

“9 of us glued to the floor and some of us on hunger strike”

I bet they wish they had been on a hunger strike a few days before they glued themselves. I hope this catches on. It’s a brilliant deterrent.

So scientific of you guys to present your case using evidence in a logical and factual manner, relying purely on reason and not emotional pleas or logical fallacies. Bravo, scientists! All hail science! Science be praised!
