[TV] Greta Thunberg: A year to change the world

[Washie]

China built more than three times as much new coal power capacity as all the other countries in the world combined last year. That translates to more than one large coal plant every week. If anyone really believes we have a problem, well there it is. Switching to an electric car is not going to make one iota of difference, so run along and get steamed up about something else.

So you think the world dying isn't a big deal, but a person wearing a mask outside is?

You beat me to it. I’ve this exact discussion with the OP before... it’s not worth the time and effort.

Huh?

Unfortunately, I think you’re right on this point. It directly contradicts what you were saying about it’s not man made, it’s an ice age (?) but you have inadvertently bumbled into a truth.

Sorry. Not you Clampy I was referring to Goldstone as the “OP”, as that was who KZN was responding to. Hope that makes sense

Shame she doesn’t go to China to tell them about it all.

More licence fee money wasted on this oddball.

Two of my 'Group of Five' arrive.

I'll await the other three.

The indications of their presence are:

Xenophobic potential
Any form of activism
Issues relating to diversity

It's almost like they are programmed, indoctrinated in some unwavering cultural and political tunnel.

These folk don't actually make me angry. I just feel a sense of suffocation, like they have never allowed themselves, or known that they have facility to allow themselves, to evaluate existence for themselves. They rally against identity politics yet strangely hang on for dear life to their own sense of belonging and its rituals.

EDIT- The third of the five has arrived now.

Not 100% sure that stating China is one of, if not the worlds largest polluters is xenophobia?..
I recycle (who doesn’t) always place my litter in the bin, use public transport to get to work,if on nights I drive a car so environmentally friendly I don’t have to pay road tax, I don’t dig up Parliament Square or smash the windows of banks and I’ve never plonked a pink yacht in the middle of Oxford Circus.
Climate chais very real, most probably advanced by the industrial revolution. I know this..the world knows this, I don’t need some self important odd bod lecturing me. If the troll really wants to impress then go to China and tell them how to do things.

*Greta Thunberg goes to China*

All the right wing press and the Gammonati - "Hypocritical climate activist travels the world"

 

[Thunder Bolt]

It’s strange how grown men find Greta Thunberg a figure of fun, but David Attenborough, who says exactly the same thing, is a national Treasure.

Strange? Or do they just like mocking foreigners with learning disabilities?

And Australia digs out more coal than any other country to export, and its in Queensland, right near The Great Barrier Reef, locals there deny climate change, well they would and yet the coral on TGBR is dying.
My view is that the planet has warmed up and cooled down naturally for millions of years but we are certainly accelerating the process and urgent stuff needs sorting out.
I agree with a lot, not all that Thunberg says, i just wish it wasn't her that was saying it because she is more irritating than grit in my lube.

Throw teenage girl into the mix, such as what do they know, and there you have it.

Whilst I agree with your sentiments it is important to say, IMO, that Greta Thunberg does not have a learning disability.

She finished secondary school with 14 As and 3 Bs despite repeatedly missing school.

Contradicted yourself somewhat here compared to your first post on the subject ffs

Let's just say "autism" then.

They like mocking foreign, autistic, teenage girls. There. That's much more acceptable.

(around 40% of autistic children have learning difficulties)

This sounds a regular, commonplace event. Do you have the other instances?

I believe you'll find them on something called "the internet"
