Little Greta comes clean

[rogue06]

The media should stop making Greta into something she is not. A saint.

It wasn't the media that invited her to speak before the U.N.

It wasn't the media that made her a Fellow of the Royal Scottish Geographical Society.

It wasn't the media that made her a Fellow of the Royal Scottish Geographical Society.

And it wasn't the media that invited and paid for her to come to Alberta just before a federal election.

But they sure lapped it up.

Then Greta should go to India and China and tell them that they are ruining her childhood and how dare they.

And don't those incinerators put out some sort of emissions that are not good for the environment? Smoke, or whatever?

Well, this is refreshing. Not all young people are buying into Greta's posturing, and it's interesting to note that the MSM shuts this little girl down and calls her names because she isn't on the bandwagon.

I hope we hear a lot more from Naomi Seibt!

Carbon dioxide, though natural gas produces less of it. And this is mainly built to burn waste at very high temperatures so it decomposes entirely into water and carbon dioxide. Its got good filtrations for removing almost all the noxious stuff.

After all you're meant to be ski down it.

Too bad the structure itself is a bit of an eyesore.

Yes, Greta should be ignored. But, she isn't.

You can ignore Greta all you wish, although one questions your motives. This does not alter the fact that what she is saying is well substantiated and supported by the vast majority of scientists. Our planet is in peril and no amount of God-posturing can change this undeniable fact.

"The last 10 years have shown that climate change is happening now and could get much worse".

I'm starting to think you're a bot.

So you're saying that she makes an excellent spokesperson for the AGW crowd and that she's a font of solid information.

Bot, NPC, what's the difference?

[demi-conservative]

The all-powerful 'they'.

I didn't say 'all-powerful', it's you making a strawman to dismiss the point. Nice try.

Other reports out yesterday indicate melting and sea level rise happening much faster than predicted.

Seas are warming and rising faster, putting more cities at risk of tidal flooding or worse. Glaciers are melting at a pace many researchers did not expect for decades. The amount of Arctic sea ice has declined so rapidly that the region may see ice-free summers by the 2030s.

Even the ground itself is warming faster. Permanently frozen ground, or permafrost, is thawing more rapidly, threatening the release of large amounts of long-stored carbon that could in turn make warming even worse, in what scientists call a climate feedback loop.

No, he's saying her concern has a solid scientific foundation even if you find her approach to the problem difficult to swallow

We've been hearing these "The sky is falling!" predictions for decades, and it's always 10-years away. You know what they'll be saying in 2030? "Just you wait, things will start to get really bad in 2040!"

That isnt true MM. It's a slow process. Right now the melt is much greater than predicted, sea level rise is greater than predicted, warming in the arctic clear and pronounced. These are the simple facts. By the time the effects are noticable enough to convince a person like you, we will be way beyond where we can do anything significant to stop it.

You're ignoring the gratuitous attack on the motives of Mossy, and a snide reference to her religious beliefs, which are not the basis of her objections to Greta's statements. So, that was not what he was saying. But you're willing to overlook the kind of behaviour you complain about in posters who push back on your incessant anti-Trumpism and your attacks on their morality. You should be better than this. At least you claim to be.
