Pretty laughable that a 16 year old girl has a bunch of wingnuts wound up all over the world. When one takes a step back and looks at those who are attacking her she looks more and more like the sane one all the time.
Isn't the luigi guise supposed to be the young free and single cheeky chappie jeering at the oldsters?
That was a quick flip.
The big joke is that climate scientists, you know, people who have spent their careers studying this phenomena and are saying the exact same message are largely ignored, while we are all supposed to sit up an listen when the same thing is said by an uneducated petulant child.
Colour me confused.
The whackjobs will whackjob and continue to dismiss what the science says cos they saw a vdo on Youtube one time but the thing of it is people actually are sitting up and listening. Like her or not Thunberg has brought attention to the issue.Originally Posted by nidhogg
Another voice can't hurt and nor can mobilizing the yoof (AKA. Voters of the Future) to put a rocket up politicians.
^^Obviously her youth makes her life more likely to be seriously affected.
Thus her arguments carry more force.
And she's right...she's one of the betrayed in a way that you and I are not.
Did you find Al Gore hit harder?

In a video, a man describes himself as "a middle-aged man with an embarrassing problem", becoming "irrationally angry at a Swedish girl who wants to save the planet".
"If you're a grown adult who needs to yell at a child for some reason, the Greta Thunberg Helpline is here to tolerate you," the narrator says, adding, "It's okay. We understand that children acting like adults can make adults act like children."
"She's just fueling needless anxiety and making the end of the world sound like it's the end of the world!"
"We'll listen no matter how ridiculous you sound."
"Have you considered launching your own global movement?" "But it's so much easier to shit on someone else's."
"The Greta Thunberg Helpline: because when it comes to climate change we all know she's the real problem."
That's very well done.
Some well known people who have Asbergers syndrome. Anthony Hopkins, Dan Aykroyd, Stanley Kubrick, Andy Warhol, David Byrne, Tim Burton, and Daryl Hannah. Much more common in males than females..

Have you called the Helpline yet...?
Read a piece about kids breaking into sport's teams a week or so ago, and the impact it often has later on in their life, setting the first team minimum age as 18+ was put forward. Something I'd agree with.
What are you on about? She is 16 years old. When I was that age I had a drivers license and my own car. I pretty much came and went as I wanted by then and if my mom tried to stop me from doing something I wanted to do it usually did not go well for her.
Hi Koman I see you are lurking again. First in the climate change thread and now here. Greta must have a science denier like yourself all wound up.
Doubtless TD's very own fresh faced, prodigiously gifted feminist intellectual would be all over this.
And there it goes again!Originally Posted by Luigi
A "child with emotional instability and a mental disorder" are your words not mine, I don't consider her to have any of those things. I think she's an exceptional and brave person.
Those doing that are the ones that need to address their own behavior.Originally Posted by Luigi

So your hypothetical is about a "child with emotional instability and a mental disorder" in a thread about a child you have described as being a "child with emotional instability and a mental disorder"... Not spurious at all.Originally Posted by Luigi
This is just getting silly. Insert whatever answer you want to.
