I think you will find a 16 year old inspiring literally millions of people around the world to take to the streets and protest, largely led by their own children is a revolution bro, and what you indulging in is merely trolling from a middle age stick insect who thinks finally eating his vegatables in his late thirties has turned him into a superhero
But Beanz, he is not that's preying mantis!
Well that sucks alpha was banned and I’m still not sure what shape the earth is. Miles is banned so my gang is now prone to attack.
My points is USA and EU have the cleanest air on earth, and everybody knows China and India have the worst. So why isnt Greta over there helping out the cause? Why is she in the countries with the least pollution doing the Guilt Game?
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
its not about pleasure. But if she's so into the cause, why doesnt she go where its truly most dire? Of course its everybody's, but its like going to Beverly Hills, Califoonia and lecturing/scolding/yelling about innner city crime in Detroit. Just go straight to the jugular and go to Detroit.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
She went to the Americas to attend the International climate summits in New York and Chile etc. I would use your favourite word 'disingenuous' but I am not about to waste my time calling out fucking middle aged men attacking a 16yr old for fighting for something she believes in . It is an insane inversion of reality in which the same men ( as in YOU Brock) who would bemoan the younger generation not doing anything but look at their phones and games are now getting on their high horse about a 16 yr old who has already sailed across the Atlantic and got boots in their millions on the ground.
You do not even have to agree with her, or believe in climate change, but if she is what you all consider to be an acceptable target to launch your fucking feeble entitled bile towards, you must be pretty lame in real life.
There are Saddos and there are absolute fucking rotters. I would much rather be a Saddo.
Adult professionals, many of whom have a genuine concern for the environment, were at those summits. Having a 16-year old Swedish girl from a well-to-do background scolding them like so many naughty children is, IMHO, not the best look nor strategy to resolve the world's environmental crisis.
Contrary to what you and many others may think, some of us still feel this was a calculated, sensationalist stunt pulled off by adults behind the scenes. Whether the effect was positive or not remains to be seen, I guess. But suffice it to say that those who do not believe there is anything wrong with the environment or the climate change, are not about to be swayed to the other side by a yelling, grimacing teenaged girl.
It is also a verifiable fact that most of the world's pollution and climate damaging man-made activities are occurring, and have been occurring for many years, in the very nations being mentioned here on this thread. To ignore that fact and continue driving the nail into the more progressive nations is a bit of foolish selective targeting, if you ask me. I'd rather see efforts to encourage/coerce offending nations to step in line, or risk economic and diplomatic sanctions.
Those very people castigating a brave 16 yr old girl here on Saddos and in the wider world have absolutely no respect for adult professionals. No respect for experts or scientists, the environment or the fact that their own children will if they are lucky inherit the mess they leave. Think of it what you will, the reality is a three week crossing of the Atlantic in a yacht is not for the feint hearted. She put her money where her mouth was. She is a spokeperson for a generation you and I have no authority to lecture. We have failed them. It is not sensationalist to point out how short sighted and selfish our generation and the ones before it have been.
Nobody is ignoring India or China. What people are willfully ignoring is the fact that the problem is not restricted to first, second or third world countries. It is a global issue and pretending that the USA, which is an atrocious country as far as man made climate change is concerned, should get a free pass under an administration that denies science is preposterous. If there is to be sanctions the USA should certainly be among the first to be shut down if needs be.
She went to the Americas because that is where the INTERNATIONAL climate change conferences were held. They were not held in India or China.
What is even more troubling is people being offended by emotion, by passion, by action , by the most human of qualities being expressed by someone purely because it is by somebody NOT LIKE THEM.
This whole board has massive issues with difference and diversity, even diversity of thought.
That is the reality of most people's lives off it but on here it is like fantasy island circa 1800 ffs
