    Have you "got" climate change yet? You were struggling this morning.

    Yes. The IPCC report from 8th October, 2018.
    Knock yourself out.

    That is what she is using to justify her views after all.


    You mean the report written by 19 people, none of which are Greta? I think you might need to knock yourself out :pac:

    You commend Greta for stomping her feet bf throwing tantrum after tantrum? Because that is literally all she has done. That and refused to go to school or get a job.

    She has upset the braindead climate change deniers and made their childish tantrums and absolute terror of actual science hilarious viewing for anyone with an education.

    Plus he's someone who has some expertise in this field or at least in related fields. What are Greta's qualifications in this area? Any published papers i can have a look at? :)

    She's 16. Probably wouldn't have much publications to her name.
    Great to see young people stirring it up a bit though.

    Why should i listen to Greta?

    Because age has warranted invitations from the EU, UN, US Congress and HoC amongst others to communicate her message.

    Because she has won numerous awards for her efforts.

    Because she has been nominated for a Nobel prize for efforts.

    Because she motivated 4M people to March on a single day calling for action on the climate.

    Because her message is supported by renowned climate change commentators.

    Because she is simply saying listen to the scientists.

    Are these enough reasons for you?
    If not, why not?

    I'd say the 4M people who marched last week are indicative as to how many around the world feel about the problem.

    You could organise a strike against pretty much anything that gave school kids a day off and they’d be out in force.

    We want lemonade in our taps instead of water. Strike!!

    We need Love Island on all year round. Strike!!

    In fairness to those pulling St Gretas strings, the guy who came up with the ‘school strike’ was onto something. An immediate innocent rent a crowd who’d be buzzing for a day off school.

    Sanders is pushing the GND and it's becoming mainstream over the entire western world.

    The watershed has already happened.

    Cool. Why don't you organise something so and see how many you get. You pick the topic. I don't care how ridiculous it sounds to me, let's see how much interest you get.

    Who knows either way I hope she is looked after once they have stopped using her.

    Some of the comments she made would lead me to believe she might have a hard time accepting policy over the next few years .

    Her PR team have the endorsement you mean. She is on the spectrum so may not adjust or be adjusting to the current popularity. It will have an impact long after the cameras are gone.

    I stand by it. There is zero evidence that humans have an effect on climate change. There are theories, projections and consensus. But no actual evidence.

    I remember striking for teacher's pay when I was younger, I'm sure some might also remember this.

    I normally find myself agreeing with you; but your statement earlier about zero evidence for man made climate change...

    I guess you would argue co2 has little effect on our climate?
    An enhanced greenhouse effect from CO2 has been confirmed by multiple lines of empirical evidence. Satellite measurements of infrared spectra over the past 40 years observe less energy escaping to space at the wavelengths associated with CO2. Surface measurements find more downward infrared radiation warming the planet's surface. This provides a direct, empirical causal link between CO2 and global warming.

    Not only that, but it is also a simple experiment to demonstrate in a lab, the heat-trapping effects of co2, h2o, ch4, etc..
    The amount of warming caused by the anthropogenic increase in atmospheric CO2 may be one of the most misunderstood subjects in climate science. Many people think the anthropogenic warming can't be quantified, many others think it must be an insignificant amount. However, climate scientists have indeed quantified the anthropogenic contribution to global warming using empirical observations and fundamental physical equations.
