Fr_Dougal wrote: » No, you’re wrong. Greta says: ”The problem of plastic pollution in the ocean is even worse than anyone feared. There’s actually more microplastic 1,000 feet down than there is in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.” Why do you hate Greta?

That was it. And you've spent the last 12 hours complaining about being lectured to. And Greta is the one who throws tantrums???

You kept posting about them, give it a rest ? Thanks. I’ll say it once and please take note . I RARELY BUY WATER BOTTLES. understand? Greta could have had large water containers and used them to fill her metal container but you fail to aknowledge that.

Tell me how wrote: » Sigh. Didn't have a tantrum. I discussed the topic with a different viewpoint to you. That, was not a tantrum. Your post here, with the all caps letters? Tantrum.
Fr_Dougal wrote: » Wow. Let’s have a summary. You brought up that Greta is great, and that we need to look after the environment; you even did a thesis(if I’m not mistaken) on prolonging the life of goods to help the environment. The fact that you now see nothing wrong with Greta using single use plastics is mind blowing, especially since you are calling others out on the use of them and sustainability. That was it. And you’ve spent weeks complaining about people who point out Greta’s hypocrisy.

Tell me how wrote: » Was Greta the only person on the boat? Was age the only person in the car? Is it possible others were the purchasers and users if the plastic products? Is it at all feasible that the youngest person in the car did not source supplies? A - I expect she probably did use some of them. B - sometimes there are not alternative options as Thelonius Monk (I think) pointed out. C - A few of ye are really stretching to try to undermine her. We've gone through, she's a puppet, she's being endangered, she's uneducated, she's mentally incapable of understanding the topic, there is no climate problem, the timeframe isn't precise enough, theres science on both sides and now, she's a hypocrite. As I said recently, the only consistency is the hatred these arguments are posted with.
