    Yes I remember. Then he quickly faded into obscurity. I guess he wasn't the last-hope dreamboat of a bunch of immature kids who'd rather party than study.

  4. That is misguided information.
    Autism is an actual hidden disability.

    Point was that when I was a kid there was no internet. There were no computers, aside from government installations with rooms full of vax and IBM mainframes. The microchip hadn't been invented yet so all those were discreet components. No wireless home phones. No electronic ignition. No CD players. No automatic cameras. I remember when TV was just black and white. I fixed many of those sets for neighbors when I was in grade school. Books were the transmission of knowledge at the time. We've come a long way, baby!

    Listen through, he explains that.

    Put it on 1.5x if it's taking too long.

    Global warming alarmist mascots

    Al Gore 2002-2008
    Polar Bears 2008-2013
    Bill Nye 2013-2019
    Greta Thunberg 2019-now

    Makes you wonder who or what they’ll replace her with, once we find out the world won’t end in 11 years.

    She stated the world would end in 11 years?

    You forgot aoc. Hehe

    "Hide the decline"

    Climate-gate IPCC pressure tactics.

    "Scientists agree" to disagree.

    What happened to the Briffa data? Hmmm...

    But yeah, go Greta. :-/

    Didn’t she recite the same line said by alarmists that we had 12 years to act, 1 year ago?

    If I was GT's age and lived in a coastal area, as 60 percent of the world's population now does, I'd be an alarmist also. The last time the planet was this warm, sea levels were 20-30 feet higher than they are now. They will be again.

    We've heated the planet so quickly, by burning first wood and now fossil fuels for the past century, that it is going to take several decades for the melting of glaciers and polar icecaps to catch up with the air temperature. They will melt. A warming event like this did occur 56 million years ago, but it took 150,000 years, not our 150. Gloom and doom for the future of human life, all large mammals, and much of Earth's vegetation isn't irrationally alarmist.

    Once the methane and CO2 now trapped in and under ice is released, it'll be too late for humans to do anything to reverse the heating-up effect. A sea level rise of 60 feet from the present level within the next 200 years is almost inevitable.

    GT isn't a personal hero of mine, but she's right in most of what she says. We totally messed up, especially over the past 60 years. If we weren't smart enough to realize that until the year 2100, I'd consider that the accidental death of the human species in the period to follow. However, with what is now known, and the unwillingness of a critical mass of CO2 generators to change course, it has more characteristics of death by depraved indifference or suicide, rather than accidental death.

    A smoker with a 2-pack-a-day habit in 1950 may have been able to claim he didn't know he was ruining his lungs. Today, not so. We know we're rendering the planet unlivable for large numbers of creatures like us. We don't have a spare planet. If we did, we'd probably ruin that one too.

    In the meantime, might farmland in places such as Russia and Canada actually become more productive with longer growing seasons? Yes, but that will in no way negate or mitigate the much larger negative effects elsehwere.

    She said if nothing changes within the next 11 (now 10) years, we'd be unable to change course and the damage would be irreversible

    A subtily different thing.. as usual with 6.
     
    scratcho and everything bagel like this.
  16. She's very knowledgeable on this whole climate change/global warming topic.
     
  17. Have you noticed that most Russian words look like Kaopectate?

  18. Russian is a totally different language to German and Swedish.
    Some words might sound the same but are actually different.

    My adoptive mother's mum we called Oma because she was from Holland.
    Yet you look at some other countries who also call their grandma's Oma.
     
  19. The guy who invented copy/cut/paste died recently at 74. Who can name him? Who can name the guy who invented television?
