In your opinion.

You know, I don't think it is nonsense. I was teaching a University Proffesor of Physics/Engineering/ something along those lines, and he was actually quite supportive of this idea and the theory that the climate change we are expereincing (if there is even climate change) is more just a seasonal weather change that happens every certain amount of time in the earth's development.

Not much of an argument I'm afraid. Just simple denialism which you're welcome to but that's what this is.

I dunno, I do kind of think , whether climate change is happening or not, that it is being used to stimmy the quickly developing Asain and Latin American countries that will have more waste in the beginning as they are moving faster.

Can you substantiate this at all?

As it's an opinion, not in any shape or form.

That or reductio ad absurdum. It's surprising and not surprising that people come on here to attack and ridicule a 16 year old girl who is trying to publicise climate change. I often wonder what it is that makes them so afraid. The truth, perhaps.

For certain theres not much 'truth' in screaming that civilisation is going to end in 10 years time or that all the adults have destroyed this kids childhood. Don't see how some find it difficult to understand others pointing things like that out. But instead they attempt to stifle the discussion by suggesting that people are 'afraid' lol. A very silly and absurd argument for sure

I dunno, I do find greta kind of annoying. I think it's because it's obvious she's a front and probably doesn't really have an opinion of her own.

Yet some grown men and women believe she is like some modern day Joan of Arc. Religious levels of fanaticism displayed in devotional worship of the prophet Greta. It is so blatantly obvious that "our Greta" as someone on here calls her, is being puppeteered. Her speech was the worst acting since the Fonz jumped the shark on Happy Days, abysmally bad.

Best way to know is to follow her on twitter. Asking here probably not.

Trust me you don't want MSM in between you and the facts.

(Off topic, but there are some fascinating twitter accounts, the president of US being the funniest/scariest IMO. I highly recommend twitter)

If you believe Greta runs that Twitter account i've some magic beans i'd give you a good price on.

Ad hominem, reductio ad absurdum and petitio principii. Well done.

It's very true.

Influence of parents is so obvious. I laugh at those clips they use in adverts of kids in junior infants talking about trump or miggeldy. Do people really think kids have an actual opinion on trump or miggeldy and it's not just parroting what their parents hear?

I remember I was in school and a couple of the cool kids were mad about drum n' bass and Pendulum. Soon enough everyone was mad into drum n' bass trying to be cool aswell.

Kids are easily influenced.

I see some more people have set sail for Chile from Amsterdam for the UN Climate Summit in Santiago. Some journey isn't it? Approximately 7 weeks to make the trip.

I'm sure if they ever got into trouble they wouldn't want a dirty fuel powered boat to save them.

Someone typed "Latin phrases" into Google. What's the Latin for "bad acting"?

I saw this just now. This is what happens when hysteria is substituted for reason, and then extrapolated to its conclusions. Even more bizarre is AOC's oddly muted reaction - not don't eat the babies, but rather we have more than a few months . Yikes.

Or it's someone with a mental disorder who's having a breakdown because of all the fear mongering and doom portrayed in the media.

It attracts absolutely demented, fanatical nutcases like all the religions that came before it. The crazy woman that wants to eat babies is right about the Swedish scientist that is advocating cannibalism though, he did so in all seriousness, it wasn't a joke, Swedes don't know what humour is.

Could be although I'm leaning towards satire. But the weird part is people under-reacting. Inside heads - hmmmm is this a new fangled low carbon keto extension of anti-natalism and after birth abortion rights, maybe some comrades will offer their surrogacy labour to the communal dinner plate, which is the right side of history for me in this moment :pac::pac::pac:

Is the Swedish scientist who is pushing for cannibalism having a mental breakdown too?

It annoys me that a party as useless as the greens and their soft leader will get a a huge boost in the next election , and how they will pat themselves on the back.

They have done absolutely zero but will happily hop on the bandwagon

They have never been in a strong position in government. The bandwagon you are referring to has been brought about by green activists many of whom are green party members.

Maybe you need a history lesson.

The last time the world went climate change crazy was around the time Al Gore and the film 'An Inconvenient Truth hit the scene in 2006.

One year later, 2007, The Greens enter Government for the first time as junior coalition partner with Fianna fail.
