Greta Thunberg

seriously. just saw this one today:




and i can't even count how many memes i've seen that say basically "i'm supposed to listen to advice about the environment from someone who eats tide pods."

basically, these people think that everyone under 30 is the same person. then they get offended by "ok boomer."

 

Piers Corbyn, a climate change denier, believes earthquakes can be caused by solar activity. Do you believe this as well?

And Meatloaf...I like Paradise By The Dashboard Light.

 

Ffs, how do you keep getting away with abusing people for having an opinion?

 

Money and religion will be the end of us. The religious, homicidal maniacs have until the end of time to keep pecking away at civilization. The ocean and the fish in it are becoming more contaminated with plastic every day. Plastic is still being made and still being discarded. Money. We are not really considered humans --we are consumers. Those who consume. Those who keep the machines rolling and turning out shiny objects that we cannot resist. Money. We, in the main, can't even feed ourselves. We need industrial farms. Money. The forests of the world are disappearing. Money. I'm not a scientist, but it seems logical that 98 % of scientists who study the earth and the climate hereon---may know somewhat more than we blabbers on a web site or those for whom Money is GOD. Money. There will (may) be a whole group of humans on the earth in 100 years. They will bear the brunt of the decisions made today. If the scientists are correct--they will go down in history as the bell weathers of the humans that did not heed their warnings. If they are not correct , then they will be the fools that panicked over nothing/false conclusions and will deserve the opprobrium they deserve, dead or alive. Do the money people act on these warnings---for they are the only ones capable of amelioration. Is amelioration needed? Or do we accuse those of us sounding/replicating the warnings as spoiled brats out for money, professors/scientists out for grants, (money) foolish people that believe anything they're told----??? You decide.

 

The OP needs to learn how to edit his title

 

It's a "Great" title

 

"ReAlLy SuMs Up ThEiR oPiNiOn WeLl"

 

It's a Greta title for this thread.

 

THE MORNING AFTER
Glastonbury clean-up costing £785,000 and lasting six weeks begins as 200,000 festival-goers head home leaving behind mounds of rubbish

The five-day festival, which had urged music-lovers to clean up after themselves, calls in more than 1,000 cleaning volunteers in the aftermath

-----

Yes our Glastonbury festival has the same problem with hoards of Save The Planet and wet behind the ears hypocritical generally speaking younger lot leave their usual mess behind.
The clean up cost £785,000
These pictures are from last July's festival:

 

??? It costs £785,000 to clean up an area maybe 2 sq klm?

What are the using, diamond studded garbage trucks?

 

Must be union members involved. That would also explain why it takes 6 weeks.

 

People like Boozercruiser want her to be brainwashed so they can dismiss what she says.

If you're gonna do something might as well look fabulous while doing it

 

Shit , I'll do it 600 thousand!

 

It's kinda dumb to upend the entire infrastructure overnight to attack a problem that's not fully understood.

That said, we should be researching causes and potential solutions.

It's particularly dumb to be deforesting areas especially those where the forests don't self regenerate. We need lumber but there are smart ways to timber and stupid ways.

We can use natural resources to improve conditions of living without destroying the ecosystem. We should approach it in a thoughtful way.

 

Greta has the skills of a teenage witch . Hope her voyages across the ocean by sailboat were nice . Nature heals , can
never call it dead . Dead is dead despite excruciating hopefulness and sex .

 

This is the reality. She's a hero in our culture; not a villain.

 

Much like with forestry there are smarter ways to fuel internal combustion engines, ways which result in putting more carbon into the soil in a stable form which will remain there for thousands of years save for direct intervention (purposeful removal)

Pyrolytic oil, byproduct of pyrolysis and charcoal production, will run through existing refineries just like crude oil does.
The main worry most have is in wondering where the biomass will come from, however we can potentially cultivate enough macroalgae in an area smaller than the size of Maine to provide more than enough to meet or exceed current crude oil usage and the means to automate this process is something being worked on as we speak.
Even without automation, offshore (deep water) cultivation is a growing trend (Greenwave.org among other groups) and the process even has a regenerative effect, fighting ocean acidification and taking care of other pollutants via phytoremediation. It even provides habitat for sea life while still providing other benefits to the food chain.

So yea', don't really need to "upend" anything, but some tweaks to business as usual are certainly in order.

 

A bit of cleaning up after all of those festivals wouldn't hurt. We obviously have no bins to put stuff in and it gets left behind by some fucking filthy animals.
