@SW-User I bet you would look just as stupid in public as she did. You don’t win confidence with ignorance, which you clearly have an abundance of.

@Shaveit I've touched a nerve :) Too bad. And I'm not looking to convince you about Global Warming or Greta Thunberg. You've clearly made up your mind and nothing will convince you otherwise :)
No it's real man. This is south Texas, people don't like her around here. You can get these stickers online. Same with Joe Biden stickers, here's one on a gas pump I took.
"How dare you!" Didn't we get the Ukraine invasion because European countries wanted to "Save the environment!" so they cut their oil production and farmed out their oil needs to Russia, giving Putin the leeway and the finances to invade? Wonder what those burning buildings in Ukraine are doing for the environment?
She’s a scripted puppet for the global elites, used to enslave us in climate change lock down smart cities!! You’ll own nothing and be happy! Same people that want depopulation or population control as they call it.
No airports by 2030, no cars, no meat, no farm owned by us, our houses will be destroyed or taken, so many more in the name of Claire change.
The climates changes, that's a fact of nature. It has done so long before humankind was around, and will continue to do so long after we're gone. In essence, science (or rather bad science) has misappropriated & politicized it in modern times only to sway popular opinion in the absurd, laughable belief that they have any major control over it. The same scientists that can't even accurately predict the weather tomorrow would have you believe that they can accurately predict the weather a hundred years from now...
Anyone with any historical knowledge oughta know by now that nature is very good at disproving bad science. And nature never breaks it's own laws, whereas science does on a daily basis; they simply disregard their ignorance and failings as a lack of information (which is a huge understatement to say the least).
History is full of examples of humankind nearly being destroyed under the pretense of some naive idealistic individuals trying to save it; and while eventually, someone may nearly succeed, nature will continue to live on
"Adapt or Die", isn't that what these pseudo scientists idol said? Survival of the fittest, adapt to the environment; it's pretty moronic & egotistical to think we can somehow adapt the environment to suit us.
Nature will do whatever it wants to suit itself, regardless of what we have to say about it. This planet has survived super volcanoes, Ice ages, massive meteor impacts, events that've nearly wiped out every living thing on the planet, and yet it remains
We've seen eruptions like Mount St. Helens, that literally blew up half the mountain, ejected over 1 cubic mile of material in the air, caused worldwide global cooling from ash, completely decimated 200 square miles next to it, leaving the terrain as barren as the moon; and yet, nature not only recovered, it thrived, and little evidence of that catastrophe remains today
People keep getting it wrong, all these disasters aren't a result of mankind nor their silly ideas about "climate change", they're just a constant reminder of how small & insignificant the narcissist's of mankind really are...
Greta has made a lot of changes in her own life to reduce her carbon footprint. She doesn’t eat meat, and she doesn’t travel by plane. That’s why she travels around Europe by train and went to North America on a special type of sailboat. The boat, the Malizia II, runs on clean energy. It uses wind power and electricity from solar panels and hydroelectric generators. It doesn’t put any carbon dioxide into the environment. And, in October 2019, she traveled by electric car in Canada partly to protest Canada’s oil industry
Doubtful, she's pretty obnoxious for a grifter. Such people usually smile, to appear more pleasant while lying to your face. Greta always looks like she just smelled a fart.
is she still here with all her stage-managed posturing?
The matter of climate change, environmental damage and resources depletion are too real and too serious for gimmicks like her.
We want proper knowledge of the problems, and proper attempts to find proper solutions; and that won't be easy even for those qualified to design them - which rules the likes of her out.
@SW-User Maybe she doesn't know a great deal, and perhaps not need to but I fear people like her deflect attention from proper, objective debate.
You and I listen to the scientists, so might Miss Thurnberg. Many won't, but I think for various reasons ranging from vested interests, to simple denial of unpleasant truths including a potential end to their comfortable life styles.

@ArishMell Exactly. That is why people hate her. They see, thanks to her, the reality that we are ALL going to have to make some sacrifices to our lifestyles in some way, if we are to survive as a species. No scientist hates Thunberg, let me assure you on that front.
By the way, what do you mean by proper objective debate? What are we debating? I hope you're not suggesting we debate whether climate crisis is happening...
@SW-User Debate not on what is happening but how to deal with it in ways that do not themselves create serious, possibly environmentally damaging, ways.
At the same time as all having to make sacrifices mainly in likes more than needs, there are also millions of people around the world who really do want and need some of the things we in affluent and dare I say it, profligate, countries take for granted. I don't mean luxuries like giant televisions, big motor-cars, sprawling out-of-town supermarkets and flying off to holidays abroad; but vital services like clean drinking-water, proper drainage, electricity and reasonably healthy homes.
@Sharon For many a year when i read the word 'Epitome' I pronounced it 'Eppy Tome'..then one day the correct pronunciation just occured. I had used it correctly when speaking..just not when reading it. Lol
When Paradise, CA became hell on Earth, we should have taken the angel Greta's warnings very seriously. Instead, she was mocked by many and precious time has been wasted.
Now the Earth itself is sending us wake up calls that few intelligent people can ignore. We have crossed tipping points and more serious tipping points are in our path. The time to change course is now if we want to mitigate far worse effects of climate pollution. Ernie
@GrinNude Tragically warnings about it made 100 years ago went unheeded, probably thanks to a widespread and entirely understandable belief that we will progress our way out of any such problem by sheer "taming Nature".
Besides the predicted tipping-points based on contemporary statistics of population growth and coal consumption (still the primary fuel in the early-20C) were well into the 21C, later even than now, so perhaps thought too remote to be important.
Only Nature cannot be tamed, and if bitten, bites back.
@originnone Why though? She might be a bit overglorified and uses harsh rhetoric but at the core what she is saying is true and it seems like she is more educated on the subject than any of her opponents
