    I think greta may need to return to school sooner than planned and do math basics 101 again. There's 7 sail boats (+ 1 motor boat) in that photo - not 17 - but then perhaps it's the UN's fukup. They have managed to get it wrong twice relative to green house emissions in the last decade. I wonder what cockeyemaney will they come up with this time ...

    Lol. You missed the humour methinks ;). But as said the UN are well used to presenting bs figures on greenhouse gas emissions for public consumption. Funny that.

    Just heard her make a mini speech. Pure garbage and about 20 crustys there to meet her.

    Are you referring to yourself? :pac:

    The fact that the UN have twice presented incorrect figures regarding greenhouse gas emissions has already been detailed in this thread. Maybe with all the whiteknightng of gretas dog and pony show you may have missed it?
    Michael Mann, a climatologist at Penn State University, the creator of the “hockey stick graph” which appears to show global temperatures climbing upwards as a result of the burning fossil fuels and dumping CO2 into the atmosphere. The graph was first published in 1998, prominently featured in the 2001 UN Climate Report, and formed part of Al Gore’s 2006 movie, An Inconvenient Truth.

    The issue with the 'hockey stick' data revealed following a recent court case

    Also the UN were left with eggs on their collective faces when it was found and later admitted significant flaws in report on meat and climate change. In this report they claimed that animal agriculture emissions were greater than that of transport - this was challenged by scientists and found to be solely based on flawed data calculations.

    And none of that is denying global warming btw.
    So are you happy now or is it just continued throwing of bilge water at those who point out the real issues?

    Indeed. I think it's hilarious considering the UNs problem with basic figures and the photo detailing the17 boats sent out by them ... :D

    Just in case it gets deleted from Twitter - here it is for posterity.

    BBC's nature Prom tells children they are in the midst of mass extinction to 'amplify discussion'
    Hannah Furness, Arts Correspondent

    Families who attended the BBC Proms this weekend were instead confronted with catastrophic warnings from climate change campaigners.

    BBC Proms, a celebration of classical music intended to be non-political, opened its 49th Prom of the season with a new composition based on the words of Greta Thunberg warning: “We are in the midst of the sixth mass extinction.”

    Intended as a “unique event for all the family” and including painting, poetry, dancing and birdsong, the concert was based on illustrated book The Lost Words, which aims to revive little-used or disappearing words that describe the natural world.

    A spokesman for the BBC said the Proms team believed music should "amplify discussion", saying it should “react to the times in which we live”, so that it is “not divorced from reality”.

    Ivan Hewett, Telegraph reviewer, said the concert was instead a “statement of the most extreme form of eco-catastrophism, designed to terrify and intimidate the mostly young audience, who clearly lacked the maturity to challenge it”.

    “It’s unfortunate that the supposedly impartial BBC turned a promising event into an opportunity for eco-propaganda,” he said, in a two-star review, accusing the BBC of the “blatant politicising of an event aimed at children”.

    The subject is the indoctrination of children and what we can do about it.


    Climate hysteria is a great opportunity to teach children to ask questions
    Sanjeev Sabhlok

    Climate alarm has long given up the pretence of any link to science. Millions have been successfully “converted” – and they get duly worked up if their belief is questioned: “have you been outside recently?”, “erratic climate events are everywhere!”, “rainfall is getting less every year!”, “flash floods, including in Rajasthan are clear proof!”.

    Some of them have gone to the next stage and become missionaries. They go about distributing their religious pamphlets in schools, indoctrinating innocent lower-IQ children. Hopelessly confused children like Greta Thunberg are being churned out as a result. At an age when children like her should be learning to ask questions, they have become the brainwashed front for the climate religion. There is little difference between such “committed” youth and Hitler’s Youth or the youth churned out by ISIS’s madrassas.

    In my view, if anyone tells a child that climate change is man-made just because someone says so (such as a missionary “scientist” but now increasingly, “royals” and “celebrities”), that person has committed a sin against the enlightenment, against human progress.

    Nah, it's about a new breed of climate change doubters (not deniers) who are pissed off with what they perceive as "hysteria" about climate change inserting their various views/narratives, with a few real deniers piggybacking. No issues, people are entitled to their opinions.

    All I say is thank god we didn't have the internet when the Ozone hysteria kicked off

    Not to mention she is autistic. Lord help us when she finds out about vaccines, starts preaching about them, about measles epidemics - someone has to think of the children in all this

    So we are all in agreement now that it's all a publicity stunt being fronted by a mentally disabled teenager

    "It's like AIDS from the sky" the environmentalists used to say yet the ozone hole is still there and whatever happened to the following scares?
    • The acid rain scare (popular in the 1980s before the socialist regimes collapsed)
    • The nuclear winter scare (popular in the 1980s)
    • The global cooling scare (popular in the 1970s)
    • The human population scare (popular in the 1970s and is linked to the present day catastrophic anthropogenic global warming hypothesis.)


    Thirty Years After Montreal Pact, Solving the Ozone Problem Remains Elusive
    Did the Montreal Protocol fix the ozone hole? It seemed so. With chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and other ozone-eating chemicals banned, many scientists said it was only a matter of time before the ozone layer recharged, and the annual hole over Antarctica healed for good.

    But 30 years on, some atmospheric chemists are not so sure. The healing is proving painfully slow. And new discoveries about chemicals not covered by the protocol are raising fears that full recovery could be postponed into the 22nd century – or possibly even prevented altogether.
    <snip>
    Solomon blamed 2015 on the Calbuco volcano in Chile, which ejected sulphur particles that enhanced the ozone-destroying properties of polar stratospheric clouds. But Susan Strahan of NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center warns that the size of the hole in any given year is still dominated by year-to-year variations in the temperature of the stratosphere and the vagaries of meteorology. “The signature of ozone recovery is not quite there yet,” she says, adding that day will come, but we may have to wait until the 2030s.

    I probably won't be alive by the 2040s to witness it , the ozone hole will still be there as big as ever as will the polar ice.
