People who are intelligent and clear thinking enough to know that socialism has never and will never be anything but evil simply can’t stand a bunch of champagne socialists lying in the middle of the road preventing them from going about their lawful business as free people living in a free country.

You're being selective there. Her only offering to the US House of Congress meeting was to submit the IPCC report. Every one of her key speeches include the phrase 'Unite behind the science'. If you agree there is a problem in terms of the longevity of the planet in a habitable manner, why wouldn't you be supportive of anyone who is advocating for that in such a forceful way. Even given her age, and her lack of formal education she is a lot more informed than a lot of commentators on the topic but she is being vilified for trying to do something positive.

Climate change being man made is still up for debate, the timeline is still up for debate and solutions that dont directly condemn and demand change from asia, africa and south america are worthless. Grettas handlers have taken an idea and used her as a vehicle to push a specific flavour of climate alarmism on the world , that flavour only reuiring wealthy white countries to change and the changes to be bringing those countries closer to marxist control

I know nothing about Greta I can't even watch her videos as I find them cringey, yet all of you nutters in this thread have watched everything about her and know everything about her parents and background. She managed to get millions of people talking about climate change and waste and pollution, so she's done well in that regard, even if she disappears now it might encourage people to think before they buy or vote in certain ways.If my own white country cleans up its act and environment, I'll be happy.

You must have been asleep for the last few years because climate change is all that’s going on for a long time. What Greta and AOC in the States have “achieved” is bringing ordinary folks to the realisation that India and China are the guilty parties but for reasons unexplained: A. This can’t be mentioned B. Europeans and yanks are being blamed and told that only they have to make sacrifices despite the fact that their sacrifices will have little or no positive affect. So the Yanks didn’t buy AOC’s stupefying Green Deal and Greta is already yesterday’s news. Back to the drawing board.

What a lot of us ARENT in favour of is the heat being removed from the chief destroyers (India and China) by a hectoring clearly disturbed teenager who appears to be programmed and determined to land all the blame and responsibility at the door of the western world, excusing the real culprits.

Since this is indisputable proof that Eric Cartman is indeed racist, and people have been taking the piss trying to reflect the accusation back onto Thelonious - then lets hear all people disputing either, come out and acknowledge that the above bolded quote is racist? My prediction: Not a single one of them defending Cartman will - because nearly all those posters are in the habit of 'concern trolling' - i.e. only pretending to give a shit about what they are acting so 'concerned' about, purely for rhetorical effect (e.g. like expressing concern for Greta while never missing an opportunity to use 'mental illness' to dampen the credibility of what she says) - and they will prove it, by trying to slip acknowledging the above blatant racism (as they don't care, when it's 'their side' of the debate...).

I dont know anyone who buys 'plastic flowers'. It's all the **** which floods the worlds market and undercuts local producers which need to be stopped. If that takes economic sanctions so be it.
