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

Shouting at them ain't gonna do it.

Slapping carbon taxes on folks isn't really the way to go either.

This is where it gets interesting, FG are doing slightly worse than FF right now but if wager they are even due to margin of error.

If taxes come hard and fast in the budget, it will effectively whitewash FF reputation, you only have to see the local elections to see how it turned out.

Will the kids get the message across to their parents we shall see.

I think I’m beginning to get it. You like the green new deal. Pity it is never going to happen. The likes of AOC will be back to serving coffee once they next US elections take place. Numerous polls have her decimated.

Sanders is pushing the GND and it's becoming mainstream over the entire western world.

The watershed has already happened.

I’m not surprised seeing how it’s not going to cost taxpayers a penny. The government can just shake the magic money tree and roll over the debt without having to spend a cent in tax on servicing it.
Isn’t that what you believe?

Again, I never denied climate change. Wanna try again?

Hilarious!

I wouldn't agree with him on his whole denial of climate change though, but it's a funny video

I acknowledged climate change in that post. I said there was no evidence of humans effecting it. Duolingo is good for reading comprehension.

Sorry but you are talking nonsense. There is zero evidence, never mind irrefutable, that humans have any effect on climate change. Many theories, many projections, but zero actual evidence of a link.

Solved? I meant with them she is doing great! Better than most of us! As has been confirmed by many.

No struggle here. I know what climate change is. It’s been happening since the start of time and will continue until the end of time.

I stand by it. There is zero evidence that humans have an effect on climate change. There are theories, projections and consensus. But no actual evidence.

The absorption of Infra red radiation by carbon dioxide molecules, among others, is well known. It is a necessary process for keeping temperature stable on our planet. The so called " greenhouse effect"
It is perfectly reasonable that increasing levels of CO2 will affect the greenhouse effect and therefore have an impact on global climate. The evidence for this is well established.

Will be interesting to see the pact of the strikes on the up and coming election. Will the kids be able to sway their parents to vote for parties focused on the environment.

You could organise a strike against pretty much anything that gave school kids a day off and they’d be out in force.

We want lemonade in our taps instead of water. Strike!!

We need Love Island on all year round. Strike!!

I remember striking for teacher's pay when I was younger, I'm sure some might also remember this.

I normally find myself agreeing with you; but your statement earlier about zero evidence for man made climate change...

I guess you would argue co2 has little effect on our climate?

An enhanced greenhouse effect from CO2 has been confirmed by multiple lines of empirical evidence. Satellite measurements of infrared spectra over the past 40 years observe less energy escaping to space at the wavelengths associated with CO2. Surface measurements find more downward infrared radiation warming the planet's surface. This provides a direct, empirical causal link between CO2 and global warming.

Not only that, but it is also a simple experiment to demonstrate in a lab, the heat-trapping effects of co2, h2o, ch4, etc..

The amount of warming caused by the anthropogenic increase in atmospheric CO2 may be one of the most misunderstood subjects in climate science. Many people think the anthropogenic warming can't be quantified, many others think it must be an insignificant amount. However, climate scientists have indeed quantified the anthropogenic contribution to global warming using empirical observations and fundamental physical equations.

Is it a case of get off the stage now, love?

Who knows either way I hope she is looked after once they have stopped using her.

Some of the comments she made would lead me to believe she might have a hard time accepting policy over the next few years .
