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.

Lotta haters, not so many suggestions on who else should have gotten it. Climate change is the issue and she is the face of it. Simple as that really.

It really epitomises for me the amount of genuine neglect the environment has been placed in , when the globe has focused its' attentions and ramblings ,via media or otherwise, on a 16 year old girl.

Time person of the year my hole.

Talk about a misfiring or back firing gun. The entire world sits back on their laurels and goes " awe , isn't that so sweet, the liddle girl giving all the bad guys in business and government a bollicking , awe , isn't she so adorable ? "

In the meantime shoulders are shrugged and the ice belt melts.... there is nothing to see here.

I had to laugh at the media chasing her around the train in Madrid last week, talk about a welcome distraction for the bad guys.

The sooner she is ignored and action is taken, the better, I have never witnessed a more false dawn in climate change action in my life. Fawning over a teenager and her ( admirable ) exploits will not save the environment this time either.

Like the action taking over the last couple of decades when it was already known there was a problem?

She's not going to save the planet. But she is trying to encourage the people on the planet to do so. At least so it doesn't fail prematurely because of human use.

I think there’s more hate towards the unbrainwashed non believers. I just looked at the tweet posted and anyone who disagrees or of a different opinion they are like “ block them, they are trolls bla blah blah)

It’s basically a cult lol

I don't believe in blocking people. For the most part, but one side (if you are to try to put everyone in to one of two teams) on this, has the vast majority of scientists supporting their argument that action is needed.

The other has a variety of people saying one or more of the following.

We don't have enough data.
The climate always changed.
It's all a sham in order to introduce more taxes.

And so on.

Pretty sure it's easy to see where the cultish behaviour is.

When you have people congratulating her for it, it’s good to remind them of the company that she’s keeping.

All that’s going to happen here is an increased Carbon Tax.

My bet is that Greta will assume the mantle of our own Coleen bán,Mary Robinson when Mrs R decides to call it a millenium.

It's all about the necklace

You reckon wrong my friend ... but yeah in general the fanboi moniker does certainly seem to be a thing for sure.

Well done on figuring out that it is not an award.
It is an acknowledgement that the winner is, in the view of the magazine, the most significant person of the year. Nothing more, but also, nothing less.

Yup as detailed "an occasion to feature and profiles a person, a group, an idea, or an object "for better or for worse"

So like some of the other recipitents of the title - time should tell ...

Truth be told Times magazine points out that the nomination is not an award rather but rather an occasion to feature and profiles a person, a group, an idea, or an object "for better or for worse...

So perhaps unsurprisingly greta now joins some other noteworthy and rather "controversial figures such as Adolf Hitler(1938), Joseph Stalin (1939 and 1942), Nikita Khrushchev (1957) and Ayatollah Khomeini(1979) oh and more recently Bono and the Gates's

Among other strange choices for the nomination were a selection of inanimate objects and events.

I think I'm going to nominate my pet rock next year for its ongoing contributions to the geological record ...

Yeah probably. He's taken up most of the news I read anyway! What a wally ha

Or HK protestors, in people's vote they got the most votes.

But greta is in or abouts, with the numbers she had marching and with climate change becoming such an issue for the planet.

Climate change believers , don't waste your time here, it's pointless,

The problem is most of them are more worried what others are doing than doing their own thing, especially if there’s a brand new car in someones driveaway or that nice extra holiday a year.

LOL, one of my plastic bottles that was in my car was EVIAN from my recent France road trip.

I think Tell me Now needs to have a firm discussion with Greta about metal containers.

No offence intended, but you didn't realise you didn't have to have plastic bottles piling up on the floor of your car but could use a refillable container instead until it was pointed out on this thread.

What makes you so informed on how to judge Greta's future, or that of various governments?

Seriously have you nothing else to add except going on about some plastic bottles? That i might add took a longtime to build up.

What should i do with the plastic mouth piece the government gave me from the random breath test?

You are wrong there. Why would anyone work and have to hand it all back in taxes? They will emmigrate for a start. Like i said it will never happen, all it will amount to is a few cent on petrol and diesel.

Well you don’t have to worry, my retirement won’t be in this country ,but that’s what will happen, people won’t bother working so more money is needed so your taxes could sky rocket, you might not be so caring then.

But that’s a worst case scenario, there will be carbon taxes but not to the extent you hope or wish for.

Yeah because she comes a rich family. Yeah you could be right about the working class taxes, but if it gets to the stage it’s not worth my while working i’ll go on the dole and your taxes can pay for it, because that’s what could happen.
