Greta Thunberg

Clearly an actress who sailed across the Atlantic in a small boat to make a point, or was that just a publicity stunt? Get real.

She's inspiring people to get off their asses and do something. Maybe it's already too late but when the U.S. is governed by assholes who do their best to fuel climate change denial in order to make bigger profits then it's time to rise up and challenge them. And the attitude that nothing will be done so there's no use in trying is just what they want from you.

 

Saalumarada Thimmakka planted 385 banyan trees along a four-kilometer stretch of highway. She has also planted nearly 8000 other trees in India..

Greta Thunberg yelling 'how dare you' while using plastic items and the left is going bonkers.

Actions speak louder than words..

Someone needs to start a Toy fund page for this brat. Get her some Dolls, crayons, Legos, teddy bears, a bake oven, bike, ect.. IF her spoiled childhood was so so stolen.

A 16yr old that says dumb shit like "my dreams stolen" hasnt even lived a life yet ..

Brat traveled on a Yacht .. Do yinz have a Yacht and travel the world, cause I sure dont..


When interviewed without its SCRIPT, she cant even answer the questions.. Just another MEME idiot in the world of the interboobs..

 

I think she is cool

 

I think the squirrel has her sussed

 

She's desperate and doing the only thing she knows how to do, but that is the first step into a larger world, and she will never stop. Mother Jones was just another kid and knew you cannot attack what you cannot comprehend, your own fucking humanity.

 

She only 16 though, whats it matter either way?

She turns in to a ballbreaker, good for her

 

But words can lead to actions, and that is what's happening. As for your toy fund idea, do you actually think that would pacify her and shut her up? You believe she's not actually dedicated to her cause?

Tell me something, do you believe that climate change is not real and there's nothing to be concerned about?

 

If Greta were complaining about deficit spending and that her generation will inherit massive unpaid debts then she would be hustled off stage immediately. Not the message the MSM wants to promote

These folks can't close a deal with their ginned up "science" so now they are trotting out this kid.

If global warming were truly the threat they proclaim, then they would be willing to allow nuclear power to replace carbon based energy sources.

Have you no shame?

what about the unpaid debit the young people will inherit?

What about nuclear power?

 

This Kid and all those propaganda Kids are really really getting on me Wick.

They preach and yet most of them are brainwashed hypocrites!
They will still go too and from school in Mommy and Daddy's car.
They will still fly away on holidays.
They will still watch the telly and be on IPads and Computers most of the day, and leave lights on all over the place.
They will still buy everything wrapped or boxed in plastic, and leave litter all over the place, including their empty plastic bottles of water and fizzy tooth decaying drinks
Look at the litter left at Glastonbury for instance.
These brats would be far better off in school (is that propaganda brat Glumberg ever in school I wonder) learning how to read and write rather than be preaching to us!

Glastonbury clean up? Festival site LITTERED with rubbish despite ‘plastic free’ pledge

 

I know you dont believe in climate change .
But the thing is, we're at the point where planting trees isnt going to make a difference without making changes in other areas too. She's putting pressure on government because that's what needs to be done right now to make any substantial changes.

And yes she traveled on a yacht. A 0 emission, solar powered yacht. Because she wasnt going to come at all because she refuses to fly, but then someone who had a 0 emission yacht said she could hitch a ride.
She's pretty cool and very principled.
She started this as a one person climate strike and sat alone while people walked by and laughed at her. And now she's inspired millions of people to put pressure on their governments to take action. Proof that one person can actually make a difference. Adults are just too cynical to accept that.

And she sounds perfectly intelligent in interviews.

 

Old people: kids today are so self centered and dont care about anything but themselves
Also old people when kids care about something besides themselves: more grumbling

 

That's probably an easier stance to have when you're not 16

Also, old people pretending they didn't create the world these kids are born into. How dare they want all the things we've been brainwashing them to want since they opened their eyes. Omg the hypocritical brats!

 

Face it, a little girl just called the adults leading the entire civilized world complete assholes for robbing her of a future, and she is not going to be anything remotely like to last to call them assholes and dare them to shoot them down like dogs. Pointing fingers serves no fucking purpose, if you cannot hold those responsible accountable. Donald Duck will never serve a day in jail for fraud or treason, much less, destroying our children's future.

 

The average demographic for the Glastonbury festival is 39 and married.
Yes I'm a dork and looked it up, but it's important to stop the spread of misinformation

It was probably your generation that left all the water bottles
Grumble grumble

And the thing is, that's why having people like Greta in the spotlight is so important, because people arent always aware of how harmful their own consumer habits are. And then you have this principled little person who doesnt fly, who doesnt eat meat, and it makes other people aware of the changes they could be making.

 

Greta's mom is an opera performer. She has inherited the flair for drama. Has all of these fools eating from her hand.

Her simple anger reminds me of Mao's cultural revolution. She is a walking, talking, milkshake waiting to strike.

Does her future include fiscal sanity?

 

A more tempered presentation by her...

 

So basically what you're saying is young people cant be activists because then they're just like Mao's youth rebellion. Or, as right wing pundits have been comparing her, Hitler's youth

You could just as easily compare her to the young people who protested the Vietnam War, or the young people who marched behind MLK in the Civil Rights movement. But you deliberately chose a comparison favorable to your own agenda and bias.

Of course if MLK was alive today hipforum members would just call him a crisis actor lol

You guys are buying into a deliberate right wing propaganda campaign to discredit anyone who wants to see changes at the systemic level to fight climate change. And then you're patting yourselves on the back for repeating these right wing talking points; you think you're such great free thinkers

 

‘Well said Piney.
Youre right and this little spoilt brat is rather dangerous.
Including this little lot!


Airline mogul Richard Branson's daughter joins kids on climate march

 

What future? If we don't do something soon, the human race has no future. All she's doing is telling us things we should already know, and you guys think she's a threat simply because she is making it clear that your lifestyles aren't sustainable. You'd like to go on believing that you're impervious to it all, and anyone who dares suggest you're not immortal and God's gift to the world is perceived as a threat.

 

What future indeed. To paraphrase the old Indian proverb, When there's a worldwide famine due to climate change and pollution we'll all realize we can't eat money. Sounds like a recipe for fiscal insanity.
