Greta Thunberg Incorporated: The Exposé

[Canada-Man]

a fun fact: she didn't attend a regular school. she attended a specialized school for kids with mental and other issues and it does not take attendance. kids are free to skip school if they don't feel like coming that day. so this is ntoa school strike

She is a useful tool

 

[ROBERTSON]

This is a good example of why I don't trust the Sky is falling bunch.

 

[cristy]

It would be nice for those who criticize her efforts, to display theirs...Lets see your solutions......

 

[papasmerf]

your request for solutions indicates you wish me to agree with her fears.

 

[cristy]

No.&..I wasn't aware they were just her "fears".To deny climate change is as silly as thinking you don't need to breathe....whether it is man made, or cyclical perhaps could be argued. But why argue, why not do something to improve conditions.....unless you are happy to have hotter summers, colder winters, more floods, more fires, less food and drinking water....etc, etc. Anyway deny away. Just let the next generation deal with our ignorance, we won't be here, so who cares.....Right

 

[papasmerf]

We can as always agree to disagree.
That of course is civility at its finest.

Cristy
I agree with your quote but Greta is going about it the wrong way.
Yes you have to be pretty brave to say that global warming does not exist.
But please don't believe that Greta is on the right track demanding that countries abide by her mandate immediately. And please let her go to China, Russia or North Korea and make those demands and see how much publicity she gets.

Before or after the US gets her out of prison?

@Papa, I respect your right to have an opinion, my right is to agree or disagree with it...and I disagree. I won't, however, respect your request for "civility" towards disagreements, as I see it as hypocritical. When you make rude statements, or those with intended cynicism.....such as this one . " She is a useful tool "... you can't then expect civility......especially when you make an inciting remark prior.
@DILLIGAF She is doing something. More than most who critique her. So whether her approach is right or wrong....that is for anyone to decide. I support her efforts irregardless.

 

[papasmerf]

Ok

But Cristy
Look at it from another view.
She is going about it the wrong way, and this is making her look foolish and appear as a radical spewing rubbish when she is talking about a very serious matter.
Instead of constantly demanding that countries that have a plan reduce to zero at great economic costs why not fight the countries that are the huge polluters. Why not be an advocate for the countries that are trying and slam those that are not.
She is only going after the cooperating countries because as papa says her ass would be in jail if she tried that shit in those countries.
I am still not convinced of the sincerity of Greta. I still feel this is to orchestrated and she is definitely coached behind the scenes. I honestly wonder just who is financially benefiting from her exposure.

Specifically, what meaningful steps have YOU taken to directly change your life to better align with Greta's demands? Have you given up your car or air travel? Have you ceased using fossil fuels? Have you become a vegan? Have you given up your furry pets? Or is your climate outrage as hollow as Greta's?

 

[ROBERTSON]

Agree with ALL of your points.
This screwed up little girl is given platforms to repeat what has been stated by one side of the argument for decades.
Including the idiots at the now dysfunctional UN.
With no solutions other than the world becoming vegan.
The result is apparent by her father being an ass in the video, after being "forced" by their dysfunctional daughter to become a vegan.
Which has been proven to be unhealthy.
As far a being civil in comments about subject entities or persons who have by choice put themselves in the spot light, not required, or necessary.
That does NOT obviously include members here, who shall be treated in a civil manner, unless that member initiates a lack of civility or insulting another member.

Even then I have no desire to be uncivil.
After all I am a gentleman.

I hear ya, but I will always reply in kind, regardless of sex, however defined or not, and still think of myself as a gentlemen.

I try to be fair............No reason not to be.

Meh... maybe. Speaking of hollow....please direct your comments to members who give a flying fuck about what you say or think, I'm not one of them.

 

[papasmerf]

Well that was rude.
