That is seriously the dumbest thing I have ever read. Yes, of course it takes more resources to make a train than a car... until you divide by the number of person-miles for each.

Some people are just pressed over anything. Reminds me of when a lot of people online say Gaga's fake or her kindness is fake. I don't believe it to be at all, she's been the same for over a decade and stuck by her kindness message. But whether it's fake or not, the message, the impact and influence of that message, is what truly matters. Greta has had a HUGE impact, she's everywhere right now, and has created a larger awareness of the climate issue. She has scientist support and that is a support that counts. Climate change is something that idiots like Trump are calling fake news. Greta is important and if her message influences real change, she'll go down in history. Even if the whole time it was her parents who pushed her to do it when she should be in school. Greta's one girl of billions and the future generation needs her to do this Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordEnigma 11,313 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 She’s literally 16. No one is perfect and she is doing more than any of us ever have. She used a boat to cross the ocean to get to NYC. She’s delivering her message to the public to educate themselves to reduce impact and pointing her message at politicians to make change on a bigger scale. I see nothing wrong with this. It’s not like she’s telling everyone to stop using transportation or radically change their lives. Just that we need to act now before it gets worse.

I've seen "woke" people on facebook saying things like it's a ploy to increase taxes. There is no discussion worth merit happening on Facebook. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mars 1,415 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Not cool to poke fun at a young girl with autism. She should be respected for what she is doing, its been a long ****ing time coming. Americans should especially listen to what she has to say. At least in Europe we are trying to do our part as a civilisation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellatrix 34,639 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 I respect her a lot for her work, but I wouldn't describe myself as a fan as I don't agree with her about the ways we need to change. For example she attacked economic growth recently, but I think the climate change needs it. She also suggested that adults should go on a climate strike, but that would never work out. It would cost a lot of money for both employers and employees, unlike her who doesn't have an income or bills to pay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She moved thinks forward anyway, that’s good at least. It could be simply she couldn't process her thoughts at the moment. As someone who is very shy and introverted I can relate a lot. I actually find it infuriating when teachers or people in general assume I'm unprepared or not involved because I can't articulate myself on the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not what she nor any of the climate activists propose - in fact a lot of them have been very vocal about the fact that current climate crisis can't be shifted onto individual consumers and that the intervention has to happen on a state level... This argument is merely an excuse to be a d*ck, sorry... And you really don't need to make a significant change in your day to day life - it's actually more important to become more conscious and vocal politically and start demanding politicians pay attention to the issue at hand, but... I guess it's easier to be angry at a child instead, so... ok gurl... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
