Greta is in no way exaggerating. Climate change is an enormous, impending catastrophe that at this point can only be mitigated, if prompt action is taken (which is currently not being done, not to the extent that is necessary), and can no longer be stopped. Even in a best-case scenario it will cause great upheaval.


Do you know which country contributes the most carbon emissions?
I suggest Greta visits them some time and shames them into submission.

Inconvenient truth for Al Gore as he's caught exaggerating the threat of global warming... again

His comments are likely to embarrass Mr Gore, who has been accused of scaremongering.

Two years ago, a High Court judge ruled his Oscarwinning documentary An Inconvenient Truth was ‘alarmist’ and contained nine scientific errors.

It's the latest embarrassment for Gore, an outspoken environmental campaigner who has earned millions of pounds from green investments and faced repeated criticism for scaremongering.

The court said copies of the film sent to secondary schools should be accompanied with notes to balance Gore's views.

"Micky Mouse" was one of these "scientists". :mrgreen:

Also, a lot of these so-called climate scientists were actually "citizen scientists".

According to Green, the main problem with some of the countless climate change surveys is that they can be biased towards respondents with certain opinions, or targeted at people who lack expertise in climate science.

Aren't you failing to consider what non-experts feel is true? Non-experts are much more divided. :shameonyou:

Obviously the truth is exactly between those two reasonable and moderate positions, but let's not suggest it's saying choochoo b*****s!


Misrepresenting the context as per usual.

Catastrophists do exist.
The high court says so. 8)

She has more miles under her belt than me and only goes into rambling monologues with nothing in the way of answering proper questions.

She's just annoying.

Autistics tend to infodump on their 'special interests'. NTs find many autistics "just annoying". So, basically, you are saying that she shows autistic characteristics.

If these are her autistic characteristics then they're annoying.

Meh! However, those with great passion are the ones that burn out, due to being a “one trick pony.” (And I’m speaking from experience).

I like how easily she dismisses the trolls who try to attack her personally instead of arguing against what she actually has to say.

If that's the case, then she might burn out as well.

The discussion on her not being autistic is unnecessary. She's 100% autistic in every way possible.

Her parents already have enough fame and would probably do whatever it takes to keep her out of the spotlights.

I think she's the kind of aspie that divides espies. My father, who is just as obsessed about the climate but in the opposite way, absolutely hates her.

In my opinion Greta Thurngerg is just a bizarre saint of this new wannabe quasi religious conglomeration of scientistic beliefs that we call the modern left.

And then there are "trolls" who shred her arguments legitimately via reason. 8)

Some found an emotionalistic precocious 16-year-old snarling on the world stage entertaining. :mrgreen:

I think her mother is more famous than her father.
I think her father is an actor but I have never seen him in anything I guess.

I think she is autistic but...that does not mean that she is a good role model.

This is very much the norm when it comes to Greta. People can't argue against her words/message, so attacking her personally is their only outlet.

Speculation.
Plz, provide "evidence" why you think that. 8)
