I mean, I'm not suggesting that as in you should be banned or the post actioned but the fact that it has zero objective basis in reality leads me to wonder what the motivations are in posting it? I mean, no one has to be mad about her, her involvement in the Princess Sheika Latifa story is dubious and still unexplained but the content of this post is laughable. Biggest. Disingenuous. Spoofer. Ever.??? I think this post, above most others tells me the real motivations of the activist/climate naysayers on this thread. It's either a simple position of anti-establishment beliefs (without extending to possessing an idea of a preferred alternative) or it's routed in plain old misogyny. I think it is more of the former for many but there's definitely an influence of the latter influencing many arguments I reckon. Greta, AOC and now apparently Mary Robinson attract an immediate level of vitriol from certain quarters that doesn't even hint at analysis.

I was moved to years by the enormous amount of money handed over to her brother by Mayo CC for a rundown old house in Ballina so they could build a shrine to Pensions Robinson, it will be a cure for insomnia if nothing else I suppose.
NIMAN wrote: » Seen that piece. Basically the ER spokesperson admitted they are making up stuff to scare people. As for the other founder who Andrew Neil quoted as saying billions could die within decades, I googled and appears she is called Gail Bradbrook. I watched one of her YouTube videos and its the biggest pile of unsubstantiated nonsense you'll ever see. It even had photshopped images of skinny polar bear on one of the first slides. Pathetic. Its only a matter of time before the masses catch on to these fools, and see them for what they are.

It's ironic, because accusing people of hypocrisy like that - is an implicit admission that the sources you're backing are discreditable.

Tell me how wrote: » I see you've pivoted back to thenot denying climate change again. That's good at least. Hope it lasts. You hear what you want in terms of Greta. When did she say school is a waste of time? Her protestations referring to the impact on civilisation are true, if no action is taken, but you are super annoyed because of her using 2030 as a line in the sand beyond which damage cannot be undone. So what if the timeframe is out, that's not the central part of her message. Why don't you pay attention to her most oft repeated statement 'Listen to the scientists' Nobody is saying the sun shines out of her but I don't see why I or others should stand by and give some a free opportunity to denigrate her, her family, her health condition or anything else that has been said on this thread with no other motivation other than to complain bitterly.
"And why should I be studying for a future that soon will be no more, ...And what is the point of learning facts within the school system when the most important facts given by the finest science of that same school system clearly means nothing to our politicians and our society?"

A somone said more like a stroppy teenager / figure head bizarrely been given the the velvet glove treatment. The main thing she has been shouting about since her debut about a year ago is that civilisation is going to end and the adults are to blame for her terrible life. Oh and school is a waste of time apparently. Not a great role model or advocate by any means tbh. That some thought she had an asses roar of a chance of getting a nobel peace price is ludicrous. Just because some may think the sun shines out of her rearend does not mean that others are obliged to share the same opinion. And none of that denies climate change btw.
