Who has the moral high ground, Greta or Donald?

Ryannnnnn · 31-35, M
Neither. Greta doesn't know enough to know how things work and don't work and isn't old enough to come up with any solutions that nobody else hasn't already thought of but found to be unrealistic. EG. stop all fossil fuels immedietly (just turn off heating for everybody, sure) She's being an alarmist because she's likely been coached to believe what she says which is irresponsible and i'd say possibly immoral if you're scaring kids into believing the worlds going to end (its not).

Trump says he's going to plant a trillion trees which is good but I don't think he's particularly concerned anyway so no morality points to him either.

But you didn't answer my initial question. Just a negative media thing

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout Didn't Judith Curry got questioned in congress? And her plea was not that it was all a "hoax", but that because of confirmation bias scientists that have an other hypothesis are shunned out of excistence. In her hearing she didn't deny the idea of climate change or even that humans contribute to it... but she also says that it might not be as one sided.

The idea that it's all a hoax, are mostly people that take her plea for more scientific discovery and her attack on the one-sided debate on the same value as "it's all a hoax" because it conforts their own confirmation bias. In a way, they are just as guilty as the ones Curry was attacking during her hearing.

Whoevers the smartest!

“They’re made in China and Germany mostly.”

“But they’re manufactured tremendous if you’re into this, tremendous fumes. Gases are spewing into the atmosphere. You know we have a world, right? So the world is tiny compared to the universe. So tremendous, tremendous amount of fumes and everything.

“You talk about the carbon footprint, fumes are spewing into the air, right? Spewing. Whether it’s in China, Germany, it’s going into the air. It’s our air, their air, everything, right?”

“You see all those [windmills]. They’re all different shades of color,” he said. “They’re like sort of white, but one is like an orange-white. It’s my favorite color, orange.”

Neither of them has moral high ground, they are both morally wrong, as they are both acting disingenuously...

@PevRusMad Trump is trump, and Gretta is placing the blame for everything into the hands of the only nations that give a fuck, not the ones that give no shits.

@DiegoWolfe
But those nations have every thing made in China to maximise their profits, rather than locally to minimalise the carbon footprint of things!
DiegoWolfe · 36-40
@PevRusMad and if China wasn't such a "We dont give a fuck" nation like parts of south america, and parts of Africa then there would be no way other places would find the profits better there.

There’s nothing moral about being the paid spokesman of fraud .

Is this a serious question or one you know will rile up the peanut gallery?

Everyone knows the right answer to this question. There is not an actual real debate about who truly has the moral high ground here. It is a rhetorical question, in that you know the answer.
