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

Hmmm indeed lol. Read the OPs comment and the thread title? But yes funnily enough its a tongue in cheek look at gretas travels across the world. I would have thought after x number of pages - everyone would have got that now. I suppose though if anyone doesn't like that no need to read further I suppose no? But eitherway some of the outrage and ad hominem that anyone would dare say anything about saint greta is fairly hilarious alright. But hey there we are ...

Pivot!

You've gone through every position trying to undermine the efforts and impact of Greta's work.

This is the reason I've continued to post on this insane thread, to allow climate change deniers to show their true colours in that they've got no other basis for arguing against Greta than basic hatred.

The motivation for that hatred is particular to each individual, we've seen misogny, ageism, tin hat theory, faux child welfare concern, it's a tax ploy, selfishness, plain old ignorance and now it's a light hearted take.

You are unique in that you've held pretty much each of these positions at various points across the thread so I suppose you deserve some sort of bingo award for that.

Hmmm. The lack of intelligent debate and informed argument against Greta, and what she stands for, is disappointing. Just childish memes, personal attacks on her and mocking. Never mind the shallow 'get a job' and fúck everyone else' posts. I suppose when you don't have an argument to make, that's all you've got.

Greta and her pushy mother preach about consumerism and veganism yet sit on chairs at home covered with animal hide that cost about the same as the average family car...each. The irony completely lost on them of course. A classic case of do as we say, not as we do.

But you are being dictated to, whether you like it or not.

In a few years you will be forced to drive an electric car.

You are already being forced to pay more for electricity via the higher cost of renewable energy.

If you burn coal at home you are forced to pay more via carbon tax.

If you use diesel or petrol in your car you are being forced to pay a carbon tax.

So you are being dictated to, suck it up.

Tbh I see no difference in your posting style/ content and that of those you disagree with. That also applies to a few others whom one would consider fellow travellers of yours, it would be impolite to name them though.

"I think people are underestimating the force of angry kids. We are angry and we are frustrated but it is because a good reason.

"If they want us to stop being angry then maybe they should stop making us angry."

The royal "We".

Stop making "Me" angry and .........what then ?

Lol -'Angry Kids'. Looks like we're in for a whole new bunch of Tantrums - which I'm sure the gretas worshippers will be holding up as an essential part of that new religion 'The Science'*

Makes me think of this for some reason ...

There would be no Paris accord if a majority of people were against it.

197 Governments have signed up,and it's a fair bet that the numbers of Individuals who have read through and digested the Accord largely equals the numbers of Polititians & Civil Servants who drew it up......oh and not forgetting the Experts who contributed to the document.

The electorates will be thinking...."How much is all of this gonna cost ME ?"

It's a pretty straightforward message? Why do you struggle to grasp it?

Where do ye get the "struggling" from ?

You could lock yourself away and listen to The Science for the rest of your life,and still have to embrace significant differences at the end of it all.

I'll have to just "struggle" on,I suppose ?

Just like that. Lets all world leaders play happy clappy because Greta says so.

Donald Trump got elected on a campaign pledge to put American peoples wealth ahead of staying in the Paris accord.

That seems to be the general idea pushed for sure. Here's Greta in clap mode. Looking vaguely happy

Dr - You have cancer, you need to stop smoking and start treatment immediately.
Patient with Gozunda mentality - Is it serious?
Dr - Definitely. Yes.
Patient - How serious?
Dr - It could be terminal.
Patient - How long have I?
Dr - Maybe 6 months. Maybe a year.
Patient - I'm sorry, if you can't tell me exactly, I'm going to continue smoking and not start treatment.
Dr - All the consulting team agree you need treatment. Immediately.
Patient - Save it Doc, I saw a post on Facebook saying cancer is curable with a combination of carrot juice and cranial massage therapy.
Dr - Best of luck.

What evidence have you that she doesn't?

She may say it but does she actually do it?

As the one making the claim that she does - but without any evidence that she has either: A. actually listened in the first place or B. has any real understanding what is being said.

She certainly may spout on about 'listening' etc but it appears she would rather use doomsdayism and personal histrionics in the stead of any informed logic. But you know that already.

This for starters:
Greta:

"Around the year 2030, 10 years 252 days and 10 hours away from now, we will be in a position where we set off an irreversible chain reaction beyond human control, that will most likely lead to the end of our civilisation as we know it"There is no mention of only 12 years left in the IPCC report.

That seems comes from greta thunbergs unique take on climate change and the end of civilisation apparently ...

This is what one of the IPCC scientists said:

Please stop saying something globally bad is going to happen in 2030. Bad stuff is already happening and every half a degree of warming matters, but the IPCC does not draw a “planetary boundary” at 1.5°C beyond which lie climate dragons.

Verdict: I'm with the IPCC scientist on this. Greta? Definitely not.

And finally if the UN conference in NewYork was anything to go by I'm sure we can expect the next round of tantrums any time soon tbh.

Note: None of that denies climate change btw.

You are a minority. I think you like that fact, it makes you feel unique.
