Greta and the aristocrat sail the high seas to save the planet.

Jimmy Garlic

Climate saint Greta Trunburg is settling sail for UN climate talks in New York to demand that governments socially engineer and tax the little people into oblivion to save the planet. Accompanied by her film maker father who lives vicariously through her, a filthy rich aristocrat from Monaco and some German bloke the trip will no doubt vastly increase the wattage of her halo before she lectures us all about impending climate Armageddon in New York. Hopefully snaps from the trip will make it into Hello! Magazine.

Sorry, if you are attending the UN and speaking about major global issues then people can comment. And, if they disagree with what she is saying, they can say that too. Of course, your reaction above is exactly why this child is being utilised in this way.

Commentary is fine. But that takes a bit of brain power.

Hurling abusive nonsense at a 16 year old kid because she pulled some stunt to raise a conversation about a topic she cares about is just people being twats.

If this tread is anything to go by, what passes for "commentary" these days leaves a lot to be desired.

Scientists don't have actual solutions either, just broad brush strokes on a picture that may or may not be complete.

More complete if gets implemented.

What should we all have been doing long before now? Make speeches to the UN? Doubt they would have given many individuals such a platform.

And what changes do people need to make on a personal level to stop future generations "suffering"? People always seem to preach the need for change but don't expand on what they want us to do.

God yeah, if only they had said something like 'Listen to the scientists', 'do whatever needs to be done to keep the global temperature rise as low as possible'.....

What would scientists like people to do on an individual level? Clearly more needs to be done on government and big business levels, just curious as to what I need to do to stop future generations suffering?

She is saying 'listen to the scientists' Gozunda. You told yourself have been told this directly at least 10 times on this thread alone at this stage. She offered no statement at the US congress other than to submit the IPCC report from Oct 2018, she referenced that same report in her talk at the UN yesterday. Why are you ignoring this fact?

I've "told myself" - have I?

And yet she is evidently not listening to the scientists. What gives?

To paraphrase - You yourself have been told this directly at least 10 times on this thread alone at this stage. With quoted examples. And you keep ignoring that she is repeating this type of rubbish ad nauseam in her videos and speeches which at best is hogwash based on fear and scare. She also told the gathering at the UN - that they have stolen her childhood - hardly a basis for a rational scientific argument is it?

Why are you ignoring these facts and have unrealistically placed this teenager on a pedestal of your own making?

you see when people come out with this tripe it instantly lets me know that they are not exactly intelligent.

brainwashed.

this so-called child is a puppet being used by adults on the world stage so that nobody will feel OK about challenging her outbursts.

i dont believe she is 16. i believe she is an adult made out to be a child.
she has marionette lines ffs. women only get those in their 40s...

Right wing mouthpiece Fox news has just apologised after one of it's guests called Greta a "mentally ill Swedish child". They apologised for the "disgraceful" remark and say they have no plans to book him again in future

Are you serious? You're going on about her being a woman in her 40's in a couple of threads, here...

I hope that's meant to be some kind of parody/joke - as it genuinely comes off as being mentally unhinged.

It's one of those hard questions that stops conversations on this topic, largely because people have not thought that far nor even considered it. We do have a plan, flawed as it may be, but it has targets and apparently ways to achieve them. A little more of that all round would make for eminently more sensible discussions.

ASD is not classified as mental illness. It is a developmental disorder.

The 5 countries they targeted are those who have ratified the UN charter on the rights of the child. China, amongst others, has not, so they were excluded.

I'd say the 4M people who marched last week are indicative as to how many around the world feel about the problem.

A whole lot were kids and while it was great that they did, marches really don't have much effect on anything.

Here's what he said: “If it were about science it would be led by scientists rather than by politicians and a mentally ill Swedish child who is being exploited by her parents and by the international left,”

The far right are very misunderstood in this case, they genuinely care about the parenting of this child, her clear mental disability and her exploitation by the far left. Oh yes and something about the climate. But the real issue is this girl, this annoying mentally ill Swedish girl

Did they "swim there? Or cut down a tree, hollowed out the trunk and made a canoe and rowed there? " as was in the post I was replying to or see you just ignoring that bit?

But you say they sailed in a millionaires yacht as well? Must have been cosy ... I never knew ....

That was in response to the previous posters wail of "what was she supposed to do"

Btw she is not in employment or work. She was invited as a guest. So no she is not an official or governmental attendee. She didn't want to fly? Fine. Use a video link. Simple. The whole circus wouldnt have attracted so much attention - but maybe that's what some wanted ...

Even for meetings outside of work I like to be in the room if possible. Personal thing though. No right or wrong.

The UN climate summit, personally I'd probably try to be in the room. YMMV.

Think wailing on about how she got there is becoming tiring at this stage

Faugheen one minute you are saying that she has done all this “off her own bat”. Next minute you are contradicting yourself. Can you make up your mind?

Unless you’re accusing me of sock puppetting then you have your wires crossed their chief.

Use video conferencing regularly and its absolutely fine. Quicker and more economical than flying or taking a sailboat with a full crew half way around the world. Obviously my PR agent doesn't think so ...

Sounds like you’re the brainwashed one.

Absolutely laughable stuff here from someone who refuses to accept what’s in front of them and gets offended by a teenager telling it like it is.
