[quote=Reclaim Our Community]
“We are a group of young people angered and fearful of the world we are inheriting. The UN estimate 1 billion climate refugees by 2050, how did Europe cope with a mere 1 million Syrian refugees in 2015?
“Irreversible feedback loops may have already been triggered, or will soon be set off: through the destruction and retreat of the Amazon rainforest, the melting of permafrost in the Artic circle and the bleaching of coral reefs. This could lead to spiralling ecological collapse.
“By now, everyone agrees that the climate crisis is immediate, grave and caused by human activity. Although our means of tackling this issue are not unified.
“After pursuing many democratic avenues in an attempt to affect change: writing to MPs, attending dozens of peaceful protests, working with the Green Party. No real change has occurred.
“In fact we see the opposite: we see the government support 100 new licenses for oil and gas, which led the Parliament’s Public Accounts Committee to say that “the Government has no coordinated plan towards achieving the net zero emissions by 2050 target”. We are left with no other option. If the institutions of power will not affect the necessary change, we must do so ourselves.”[/quote]

Just use the ellipsis key.
That key would be such a good idea.
Unfortunately, I suspect the ellipsis is going to go the way of the apostrophe and the semi-colon…
I don’t think apostrophes (single-quotes) or semi-colons are disappearing anytime soon or else there’ll be a lot of angry programmers.
Wait – how do you know what he typed? I mean, I know what road.cc is showing me, but… are you … Rendel Harris too?he probably did what i just did and tried highlighting the dots with the mouse. The dots highlighting one at a time, whereas the ellipsis highlighted all at once.
If I’m typing into a comment box here on road.cc, how do I type a ‘proper’ ellipsis, then?
(I’ve always just done three dots).
Just use the ellipsis key.
