    Guys, some of you may be interested in the actual topic and would like to discuss actions, ramifications, etc. For that to happen, I suggest try not to be this guy:

    how the fuck did you misinterpret that?

    See... Truj, you're not even trying.

    I'm not derailing this. It's plainly obvious you have an agenda that is distinctly "anti-liberal".

    Well, that's asinine, sir.

    We are talking about climate change.

    Are you proverbialy "on board"?

    Did you read my post on the topic?
    Obviously not or you wouldn't be asking a question already answered.
    I know it's long. Take your time. Look for the meaning.

    Look.

    Your unwillingness to loop me in further confirms...

    Why aren't we discussing the climate?

    This is about politics for you. It doesn't have to be though.

    How is it about politics and not the climate?

    Dammit, I wish I'd read your informed posts regarding climate change before I wasted my time over the past few years reading those phony "climate scientists "with their monetary agendas and periodicals such as that bullshit Smithsonian. Thank you.

    Okay. I wasn't "planning" to post more. I spelled out what I believe is the common sense path forward already. Since then there's been no criticism of what I said, only nitpicking my choice of words and propositions that nothing I say is worthy of consideration for personal reasons. I'm pretty familiar with cognitive dissonance when I see it and know I've been guilty of it myself. But if we're going to do something to preserve or better the environment then we're going to have to quit the bullshit talk and look at solutions.
    I'm doing my part. Are you?

    Would be a whole lot more appreciative is Ms. Thunberg would address our collective lack of fiscal discipline, we are going broke.

    Amazing how one young lady can arouse such passions!

    Imagine how she will be when an adult!

    WATCH OUT!

    This one is a star, and belittling the brilliance is like pretending Trump is still the president.

    But I digress...

    Greta is not evil and needs no discipline as far as I can tell, she's got more than most already!

    "To think good thoughts requires effort. This one of the things that discipline – training – is about". -James Clavell, Shōgun (1975).

    So the basis of this thread is Greta's supposed need for some discipline. Well let's explore the meaning of the word 'discipline.' I am not sure the OP has a handle on that...

    There are several meanings for this word:
    Discipline is action or inaction that is regulated to be in accordance (or to achieve accord) with a particular system of governance.
    Discipline is commonly applied to regulating human and animal behavior to its society or environment it belongs.
    In the academic and professional worlds a discipline is a specific branch of knowledge, learning, or practice.
    Discipline can be a set of expectations that are required by any governing entity including the self, groups, classes, fields, industries, or societies.
    - Wikipedia

    I have heard misguided American parents saying that they need to 'discipline' their child with a good spanking. Is that what the OP really means???

    My thoughts are that this tread was created by a newby flyby, created to create negative controversy.

    The OP has never returned... obviously a troll!

    Perhaps someone PAID to do such things... eh?

    I'd say the discipline she needs is that of acquiring knowledge of data analysis and scientific principles and methods to where she can contribute in a productive manner, as opposed to some passionate, brilliant, ignorant, rabble rouser. Currently she has nothing to offer other than stir up fear and controversy.
