Trump vs 16 year old

[Sub-Slut]

I wish I was as "brave" as these keyboard warriors and attack a 16 year old kid this way. These are the true heroes that should be on Time Magazine.

I admit that if I was a boomer, I would deny climate change but to go after a kid this way? Seriously? I'd like to say that we could do better but I'd only be fooling myself.

I believe in climate change, I also drive gasoline powered vehicle. I will buy an EV when technology and prices improve. I also ride my bike for health reasons and to feel like I’m doing my part. I also fly in planes, but cheered when Harbour Air flew an electric plane for the first time last week. There is a happy medium in this argument. Honestly, who wouldn’t want a cleaner environment??

 

[Audacity]

The environmentalist nut bars just keep on writing and Toronto’s national newspaper just keeps on giving them a forum. I can’t believe they publish this shit.

Seriously getting tired of emotional spouters calling the T man all kinds of names for calling other people all kinds of names. Dorsn’t make one better to call a twit a twit. Better to debate the merrits of actual policy decisions Sure, when you run for office, the doors of scrutiny are flung wide open. Same when you take a dramatic media stand for a special interest cause. Just ask Elizabeth May how that worked out.

Prediction: the Dems will lose the US election because they blew their load on trying to get the T man out instead of doing their jobs as congressional lawmakers. They’ve done fuk all. Likewise, angry Greta will fade into obscurity when her unbalanced diatribes become as old and useless as the current democratic/CNN rhetoric or the socialist SNL re-hashed hatred disguised as humour.

I want to see this 16 year old go down down hard. Not because she is a young girl, but because her outrage is disengaging of the ways that things get done. Maybe she should pick on someone her own size. Single issue advocates? Yawn. Not worth the bandwidth. I’d give all my attention to the folks who recycle water bottles into adarondac chairs.

Ok, having ranted about that, I do think the old guard needs to get out out of they way because they just carry too much baggage to bring about a better global future. Just not buying into the koolaid of any popular media celebrities or polarizng hate-spewing critics who really don’t have a credible track record or a workable answer to the problems that need fixing.

-P.

If Greta of Green Fables wants to put herself out in the media as the face of youthful climate change action and wants to play drama queen with Aspergers, she is fair game. Or do we now live in a society where 16 year old snowflakes can become Time Person of the Year and anyone who questions them is “attacking a child”?

The democrat controlled house passed 400 bills which are being held up in the republican controlled senate cause Moscow Mitch won't look at them. Stop eating up right wing bullshit. Trump is a con, thats not even debatable.

Totally agree!

Also, no party has ever won the next election when their President was impeached. I don't see the Republicans and Trump breaking that pattern. I hope Bloomberg gets the Dem canidacy. Then we we would have a real successful billionaire running against a pretending success that is so poor he has to steal from his own charaties.

I think It’s child abuse to put a 16 year old kid in the global spotlight. If you’re a climate activist you should feel embarrassed to use a child this way. Religion pulls the same garbage and parades kids around.

Greta Thunberg's the 21st century Joan Of Arc, and just like Joan Of Arc, they'll try any tactic they can to bring her down. Even though she always says to make it about listening to the science, not about following her.

As for Trump, you can see what sort of "man" he is by the fact he's displaying such jealousy at being upstaged by a 16 year old girl. Same goes for the goofs in charge of Brazil and Australia. She's got the deniers and big-shots scared, the way she cuts right to the heart of the matter with what she says. That's why they whine about her so much. It's why one of their thugs will probably try to assassinate her one day.

Anyone who complains about her or about the scientific facts behind her message (like Jason Kenney and his idiotic "war room") should give their head a shake, and ask themselves why they're basically fighting a world war against their own children.

She is front for those that have an agenda to promote. A 16 year old out to save the planet? Really? I haven’t heard anything scientific come out of her mouth. Somebody should be giving their head a shake and it’s not her detractors. As for Kenney and his war room, it’s time someone stood up for Alberta and it’s oil industry. Funny how nobody protests about what’s going on in Texas. Didn’t see Greta make a stop there on her crusade. You take the time to wonder why that is?

Because - news flash - Alberta's open pit tar sands projects are the fucking dirtiest oil producers on the planet bar none, that's why.
Luckily Greta is a much bigger and brighter person than all you climate change deniers and she doesn't give a fuck what you think (read her clever Twitter responses to both Trump's and Bolsonaro's feeble attacks). She knows you are blinded by self interest and lost beyond reason and doesn't care about trying to convince you otherwise with scientific fact.
Kenney is wasting Alberta's tax payers' money preaching to the converted - Alberta's oil sands projects have a larger carbon footprint than all of Quebec! 'Ethical oil' ... stop your denial, that is why investors from all investment sectors (public, private, foreign and institutional) are divesting themselves from your dirty oil projects.

Listen up, get woke ... Greta rocks!

Shouldn't this 16 year old girl be busy in school? How does she have all this time to travel? The groups that are using her as a pawn are a very selfish bunch.

 

[Oldfart]

Our Earth is burning up and Greta is one of the few people with enough common sense to be shouting "Fire!"

 

[UhOh]

She's making her mark on the world which is something that 99.99999% of people busy in school will never do. I got a feeling she will manage her education and continue to make an impact.

happy medium is the problem, they don't want a happy medium, they want complete left wing nut job shift, even if it isn't actually possible right now or in 50 years

transportation is 25%, hybrids would cut 75% of car emissions, but they are demanding full electric which aren't practical in general

NG would reduce coal by 1/3 to 1/2, but you can't do that, it's carbon

Nuclear, can't do that, 3 mile Island, remember :lalala:

these guys seem to disagree with you

and they aren't some right wing nut jobs either, lol

Our Earth is burning up and Greta is one of the few people with enough common sense to be shouting "Fire!"

problem is they have been shouting fire in the Theater for the last 60+ years

balance is the key, no one wants to talk about that

common sense, you can't crater the economy, which is what their plans would do

pollution is bad, source, people, no one is talking about reducing the source, lol

Just go vegan. Then you won't have to worry about meat rations. And once you're on a vegan diet long enough, all that nonsense may begin to make sense.

Because of their high-fibre diets, vegans produce more greenhouse gas emissions (they fart more).
